The 5 Minute Makeup Routine

Hi everyone, welcome back

Prepare your skin for makeup with a moisturizer. Apply concealer under the eyes . Set the concealer with a dab of translucent powder. To add color to your face, you can either use the tinted moisturizer at the very beginning or opt for blushes after you have applied the concealer. Tinted moisturizers with SPF are a great option if you will be spending a lot of time outside. Remember to apply the moisturizer right down to your neck line.

If you prefer adding a blush, choose soft, light shades like pale pink or peach. A bronzer may also give you the color you desire without making the final look very heavy and thick. Use the bronzer sparingly over your cheekbones to lend definition to your facial structure. Lightly brush along your hairline and chin too with the remaining bronzer/blush.

Cream blushes are also a good option for a quick makeup session. They look great on the cheeks and they can work as eye shadow too. Of course, for the latter, they have to be the right shade. Cream blushes have the perfect texture to give your face a bright, moisturized glow without appearing greasy.

 

 

 

The eyes come next. A shadow pencil is a good choice if you want to quickly define your eyes while giving the lids a hint of color too. Dark eye shadow highlights your eyes and draws attention to them instantly. Neutral shades add a subtle definition without actually making your eyes the focal point of your face. The challenge with dark shades is that minor flaws in the makeup will stand out quite visibly. Unless you are a pro with your eyeliner/eye pencil, you should opt for the safer neutral shades for a quick makeup session.

For those who prefer eyeliners, start with the inner corner of your eye, keep to the lash line and slightly thicken the line as you reach the outermost corner of your eye. Blend with a brush and apply your mascara. If you have an extra minute you can curl your lashes with an eyelash curler before the mascara goes on. Unless you want to make your makeup heavier, limit yourself to a single coat of mascara. A touch of white at the innermost corner gives your eyes a shimmer and makes them look bright.

To complete your look for the day, your lips need a swipe of gloss. Light, punchy shades keep you looking fresh and full of life. If you use a lip balm, then pick one with tint so that it can double up as your lip colour for your 5 minute makeup routine.

My favorite bronzers

/ Analucascardigos / 4 Comments

Hi everyone , welcome back

Today I want to share my favorite bronzers , They are matte and quite similar in shades…. These three are the ones I use more.

Elizabeth Arden 

Maybelline 

Makeup revolution 

Elizabeth Arden Bronze colour Intrigue ; 

A versatile, soft-shimmer dual-tone bronzing powder that leaves a healthy, sun-kissed glow on the surface of the skin, eliminating the need for harmful exposure to the sun.

The texture of the compact is very fine and hence it blends really well……

Maybelline Dream Sun Triple Bronzing powder ; 

For instant natural looking, sun kissed perfection. Three multi-tonal bronzing shades create your unique sun kissed look, all year-round.

The best thing about this product is, it has 3 shades in one container. You can either combine all the shades using the brush by swiping it around the sides of your face…..

Makeup Revolution London ultra sculpt & contour kit; 

The palette brings three different products – a matte bronzer, a highlighter and a shimmer blush.

This is a nice kit for contouring, highlighting and bronzing. I totally love the texture of all the products and how smoothly they blend on my skin.

What’s your favorite bronzer ? 

Thanks 😉

5 Beauty product I can’t live without

/ Analucascardigos / 8 Comments

Hi everyone, Welcome back to my blog;

When it comes to makeup there are certain products that I just can’t live without. I think everyone has their favorite products that they turn to time and time again. Products that help to enhance and hide my best and worst features, which is why I wanted to share with you all some of the makeup I can’t live without.

First up is concealer. I think most people would agree that concealer can be your best friend. If you’ve had a late night, bad night’s sleep or want to hide a blemish, then concealer is your answer. One of my favorite is the Maybelline instant anti-age . 

Next is foundation, for me is essential on my eveyday makeup and my favorite at the moment Dior skin Forever click here

Next up is mascara and one of my favorites is the Loreal telescopic extra black. This mascara is  a great product. Stands on lashes all day.  volumise and deliver thicker lashes that look up to 60% longer.

Moving to bronzer, I love bronze my skin. I do not have a favorite one but at the moment I love to use Makeup Revolution Bronze, shimmer & highlight all in one with this blended powder which can be blended easily. Either use swirled together, or separate to achieve the look I want.

 

Finally it’s time for the lips and one of my favorite lipstick  – YSL Rouge volupte Rouge Volupté Shine is wrapped in an elegant, romantic gold case: a true must have for every hand bag.  

 

So this is the makeup I can’t live without. What makeup could you not live without?

How to apply bronzer

Hi everyone, I hope all of you had a great week ….

Lets talk about bronzer ….

  • Bronzer works its magic to impact a veil of warm colour, resulting in for beautifully bronzer skin. Properly applied bronzer can highlight and accentuate the features of your face.
  1. Choose a bronzer that is 2 shades darker than your skin tone
  2. Choose a wide, fluffy powder brush with a rounded top.
  3. Swirl the brush evenly in the bronzer and tap off the excess.
  4. Apply bronzer to the areas that the sun would naturally hit.
  5. Check the bronzer in daylight and make any necessary adjustments.

Think about the areas of your face where you tan naturally: Cheekbones, nose, area between the nose and cheeks, forehead and chin.

Always blend your bronzer well, so that you don’t have noticeable streaks, dark areas or makeup lines.

I recommended a large powder brush with bristles that between fluffy and stiff.

 

Keep in mind that mineral. pressed and loose powdered bronzers require a large makeup brush,  for application liquid and cream bronzers can be applied with your fingertips or a makeup sponge.
