Clean your make-up brushes AT LEAST once a week. This is so important. Brushes collect a lot of bacteria. Many brands like MAC and Make Up For Ever have brush cleaners available, and they are not that expensive. Take good care of your tools and they’ll last you a long while!
*Tip*
Lashes:
-When applying fake lashes, let the glue set in for about 30 seconds before you glue them on.
-Not wearing fake ones? Curl your own, apply 2 to 3 coats and voila! Instant “fake” effect 😉
Hope everyone is enjoying this beautiful day!
Clinique 7 Day Scrub
Hi everyone, happy Monday!
If you are looking for a scrub that’s gentle and can be used everyday, then you might want to try Clinique’s 7 Day Scrub. Does not irritate the skin at all. It has very fine grains that scrub away dull, dead skin. This product has improved the texture of my skin so much. My skin is softer and smoother than ever before. It was not pretty before! It was rough, dry and patchy. My foundation didn’t look as it should and it was a hot mess. I’ve been using the scrub for close to 2 years and i’ll never use another scrub again. This one is a winner!
*Tip*
Want to give the effect of having bigger eyes? Use a white (not stark white) or a flesh colored eyeliner on your lower water line.
Urban Decay’s NAKED PALETTE
Ah, the beautiful Naked Palette ♥
This palette is coveted by many make-up lovers. Why? It’s simply one of the best shadow palettes out there. The eye shadows are in the range of matte to vibrant shimmery textures. You can do a simple “naked” look for during the day using Naked and Buck. And at night, go all out using shadows like Hustle and Gunmetal. The pigment of the eyeshadows are true to color so it surely won’t disappoint–whatcha see is whatcha get! The only negative thing that I have to say about these shadows is that they do have a decent amount of fallout. Meaning that as you are applying the eye shadow some of it is going to end up under your eyes and around your nose, but it’s ok just use your foundation applicator to clean up!
Talk to you soon ☺
COLOR
SWATCH
*Tip*
Don’t recommend using concealer as a primer on your eyelids. It’ll make the eyeshadow crease. Use an eyeshadow primer. Many make-up brands have one. I recommend Urban Decay’s eyeshadow primer, love it!
MAKE UP FOR EVER HD FOUNDATION
Hey guys!
If you are attending an event and are going to be photographed or recorded, you’ll want to be wearing this foundation. It’s a second skin, sounds creepy but true! What I mean is, that is gives great coverage and it looks like you’re not wearing make-up. Make sure you moisturize and prime *if you have dry-to-combination skin before applying the foundation. It’ll help the application go smoother! If you have “normal” skin, then you don’t need to prime, lucky!
NYX Lip Liner
Good Afternoon, happy Wednesday!!
NYX is a good brand that’s on the cheaper side. They have such a variety of products and colors to choose from. Ulta always has a good sale on NYX products. Ok, so the lip liner is true to color. It’s always dissapointing when you by a product and you apply it and it’s nothing like advertised! Well, not with these. Also, it helps the lipstick stay a lot longer and keeps it from bleeding. NYX has jumbo lip liners as well and they are moisturizing, which I love! Totally recommend this brand if you are looking for something good and cheap!
MAC’s Face and Body Foundation
MAC’s Face and Body Foundation is one of the best foundations out there. It is so light and buildable. It feels refreshing to the skin when you are applying it which is great, because that lets you know that it will not be cakey/heavy. The finish is smooth, silky skin. And it looks like you got nothing on! I love it!!! Oh and it’s water resistant [a plus!]
Bioderma.
Hi Guys! Ok so Bioderma is a great makeup remover. It has no oily residue whatsoever. This product is great for sensitive skin, does not sting or irritate the eyes/skin. Also, Bioderma removes makeup easily, in a couple of swipes. Sadly it is not sold in the US. I had to order thru Amazon. It’ll last you a long while. I got my bottle in Feb of this year and im going on 7 months and still have some left. It’s worth the wait!!!!
