Garnier skin active micellar cleansing Gel water

May 5, 2017 / Analucascardigos / 2 Comments

Hi everyone , Welcome back …..

The new Garnier Skin Active Micellar Cleansing Gel Wash claims to remove all makeup while cleansing and soothing the skin with a rinse off formula. Garnier says that this is safe for face, eyes and lips while having no perfume and is even suitable for sensitive skin. The packaging is very similar to the Micellar Water as you can see and I really like that they decided to do a pump on this as it makes it much easier to dispense the product and apply to the face.

In one easy step it cleanses skin and removes makeup all over the face , even on lips and eyes. Perfectly clean and refreshed skin without rubbing.

How to use : Apply to a wet face. foam up with water and massage gently in circular motions on face focusing on lip and eye area. Rise off.

I Love it because it’s simple and does its job perfectly, does’t cause any imperfections and remove all the makeup excess……

I use Garnier products for a while and I’m happy with it.

Thanks 😉

Makeup looks to inspire

April 27, 2017April 27, 2017 / Analucascardigos / 2 Comments

Hi everyone , Welcome back …..

We do not always have the time and skill to create that beautiful and elaborate mega makeup, right? As much as I love spending time doing my makeup, sometimes I have to choose the “basic and fast”

For that reason, 4 tips and suggestions for the day to day.

Starting with the classic that never goes out of style and leaves with an incredible result: the faded brown. Here there is no mistake, choose your favorite tone of brown and smear well, is a drawing created by a degraded by a lighter shade by the same color to put in the inner corner and the sides. The good thing about brown is that it is easy to fade and matches any occasion and look.

For those days of rush go for a lipstick. Choose a powerful mega lipstick like red, wine or brown, pass a little more lashes, a little light on the skin! And it’s ready! It looks beautiful!

If you feel like adding a bit of shine to the shape, but do not make too much of a mess, opt for creamy shadows that have a bit of shine (Maybelline have some nice options) and if you have time use a eyeliner…..

A classic makeup that Kylie Jenner is perfect for days of running around. She makes a faint butt on the outside corner that leaves the look sexy and powerful. The trick is to apply the correct at the end of the eyea nd leave that part well marked.

After these tips there are no more excuses for not doing a simple makeup, right? 😉

10 Beauty hacks

April 18, 2017July 17, 2017 / Analucascardigos / 8 Comments

Hi everyone , welcome back

We always want to look cute, but sometimes, we genuinely don’t have the time. The majority of us want to have our makeup, hair, and nails done at all times, but this seems to be a somewhat impossible task ;

Here are 10 of the best beauty hacks;

If you love winged liner but don’t have the hand-eye coordination to do it perfectly, no big deal: You can clean messy edges with a cotton swab coated with petroleum jelly.
To make your eyes seem brighter, use a white eyeliner to line your waterline.
Gently rub aloe vera on your face before bed to reduce acne scaring.
If you want more voluminous hair, wash your hair in the reverse order; apply conditioner first, let it sit for five minutes, then add shampoo, and rise.
Apply baby powder onto your eyelashes before putting on mascara for longer and darker lashes.
For noticeably curled lashes, use a blow dryer to heat up your eyelash curler before using it.
Put concealer on your lips before applying lipstick for a professional matte look.
Repair your broken lipstick with match; simply place the broken pieces back in the tub e and use a lighter to heat it up for a few seconds. Place it in the fridge and it’s good as new again.
Use red or orange lipstick to conceal dark circles;
Apply the lipstick using a brush under your eye area, then reach for your concealer as normal and apply over the top, blending in with a brush or your fingers.
Apply coconut oil onto your cuticles to strengthen them.

Top 5 tips for using foundation

March 24, 2017August 7, 2017 / Analucascardigos / 6 Comments

Hi everyone , today I’ll talk about foundation….

Applying the foundation flawlessly is not an easy task. To achieve the perfect coverage and a glowing look, there are basic methods of applying foundation.

Top 5 tips

Never test foundation on your hand – it’s always a different colour from your face. Always apply it to your jawline. the right shade for you is he one that disappears into your skin.

if you can’t decide between two foundations shades choose the lighter one, as darker foundations create more obvious tidemarks.

You’re wearing too much foundation if you can’t see any of the pores on your skin. Your natural texture is supposed to show through a little.

If your makeup starts to shine, use blotting paper rather than reapplying powder, which can often start to look too heavy.

Apply moisturizer five minutes before you start your makeup. All bases will go on much smoothly if your skin is well hydrated. Tissue off any excess -while hydrated skin is good for foundation, greasy skin will make it slip and slide.

You can use brush or sponge for applying foundation. For blending it well you can also use the fingers of your hands where you feel need.

Don’t forget to apply foundation on ears & neck for a perfect even skin tone look. You can never neglect the most visible areas around your face.

Hope you like this post , and have a great weekend 😉

Thanks
