My top 5 beauty Faves

Hi everyone, welcome back

I switch around my makeup very frequently. Probably every week, in fact. but this are the ones I’m currently loving ….

The Honey Queen Honeycomb Blusher w7 – Leaves skin illuminated with a light satin sheen. This is one of my favorite blushers ….

NYX Soft matte lip cream  delivers a burst of creamy color and sets to a stunning matte finish. Surprisingly durable, lightweight and delightfully creamy.

L’Oreal Color Appeal Eye shadow Golden Shimmer 23 . One swipe can give you enough color though and it can be packed on a lid….. 

 This eye shadow I had bought long time a go, but never got the chance to use, so I started to use and I love it is a beautiful shadow for summer.

Dior skin forever foundation,  is pretty much just that… perfect. It boasts everlasting wear (up to 16 hours) and takes skin perfection and a matte finish to next level. It’s not oily and as it dries down to the matte finish, it feels like it’s melting into the skin ….

Mark nude matte cream concealer, Covers imperfections, diminishes the appearance of skin texture with a matte, lightweight feel, no caking or creasing!

 

What’s your favorite beauty products ?? 😉

Review of Avon Mark Magix Face Primer

 

Hi everyone , welcome back ….

 

Silky-soft weightless formula blurs imperfections for a naturally flawless look.

 

  • Oil-free and colourless, it brightens skin, making it look pore-free, shine-free and line-free.
  • Wear alone or under foundation to help it stay fresh.
  • Keeps shine away all day.
  • Skin looks brighter and feels ultra-soft with pores and fine lines visibly smoothed.
  • Leaves skin feeling satin smooth and ultra-soft.
  • Instantly makes skin look pore-free, shine-free and line-free
  • Mistake-proof translucent finish suits virtually everyone
  • Minimise the look of pores, lines and shine
  • For normal/combination, dry & oily skin types
  • SPF20.

This colorless primer covers imperfections on the skin, covers the pores and fills out the curves of the face without a shine. It lasts the entire day and I gladly use it, since the liquid primer spreads more evenly and properly on the face, and it creates a nice fresh finish.

It comes in a plastic tube packaging. It’s practical to use and great to travel with. In it is 30 ml of product and the regular price is £6

I really like it and I feel that it really helps you to having a perfect-looking skin, it keeps your foundation in place.

I recommend you to try out this product because you will not be disappointed!

Thanks 😉

Summer makeup tips

Hi everyone , welcome back

The summer is here in full swing ! The scorching heat and sweat tends to mess up the makeup. Runny mascara, bleeding lipstick, smudged eyeliner! Sounds frustrating right? This is why it is important to follow some simple tips  to avoid it from melting down. So, today I bring to you some such ways to keep your makeup last longer ….

Cleanse, tone and moisturize your skin and use a protection sunscreen to help lock the makeup in…..

Priming your skin before you apply your makeup will prevent your blush or foundation from melting off when you spend time under the bright sun. Apply primer to clean skin and allow it to dry before adding foundation or powder. You can also apply your foundation with a dampened makeup sponge to allow it to go on sheer without looking thick and cakey. Use even strokes and allow it to dry before applying powder or a finishing spray for a matte look.

You may opt to use a serum since they are lightweight by nature, and one of the ways to Apply makeup for summer, is to use lighter foundation, preferably powder ones for oily to combo skin and liquid for dry skin. If you put plenty of it, there are chances it would peel off sooner, so be light with your application.

Best Summer Makeup Tips You Must See

  • Use light translucent powder this is going to be hit look for summers.
  • Light shades of bronzer on cheek bones gives you an instant glow.
  • Use light brown or nude eye shadow to give them a natural look.
  • Wear sunny bright blush which is going to be easy with your outfits
  • Colors such as golden green, earthy tones can be used with brown mascara to give that extra edge.
  • Use water proof make up.
  • Apply lip balm to protect your lips from the heat and the damage of the sun rays.
  • You can increase the volume of color,vibrant shades of eye and lips but do not go in shiny and shimmer brigade.
  • Consider altering with oil free formula during the summer months.

How to choose your foundation

Hi everyone , welcome back

The foundation is the base for all makeup. Getting it right is important.

One thing that I have learn is that you should pick a foundation that is at least 1 shade lighter than your skin tone.

Related image

Whether you’re using a liquid, powder, or stick foundation, it all begins with a colour check.  When you do a colour test on your skin choose either your jaw line or your neck to apply the colour to, make sure you wait a few minutes for it to dry, as the colour can change. Sometimes the colour can turn pink, or slightly orange after drying. This is why many women end up with the wrong colour.

IF YOU HAVE NORMAL SKIN, your foundation choice may range variously from tinted moisturizer to mineralised bases. Just choose the one for you depending upon the coverage desired and the occasion.

IF YOU HAVE DRY SKIN, pick a hydrating or oil-free moisture formula. Most foundations have a time-release system that can continuously moisturize for up to 11 hours.

IF YOU HAVE OILY SKIN, opt for a water-based or oil-free formula and use powder.

 

TO CONCEAL UNEVEN PIGMENTATION, look for a full-coverage formula. Cream-to-powder varieties are the best for you.

When choosing a foundation

According to skin-tone: It’s preferable to try your shade in full day light, while not solely depending upon the lighting of the cosmetic store you’re buying the product from.

Light– For fair ivory skin tones

Medium – For light medium to beige skin tones

Tan – For slightly darker complexions, including golden tan to olive tones.

Dark – For deep, rich complexions, including medium – brown to dark tones.

 

Hope this post help some of you who are wishing to incorporate foundation in your makeup routine .

Have a great weekend everyone

Thanks 😉

5 Must have makeup brushes in your vanity

Hi everyone, welcome back

Every beauty enthusiast knows that it’s important to have good makeup brushes in their beauty arsenal. Today, I’m showing you my 5 must-have makeup brushes;

 

Foundation brush- One of the most ideal method for applying foundation is by using a foundation brush. Using a brush for applying foundation ensures a smooth and even application, which looks natural.

Powder brush- Apply the brush on your face with a smooth action, without giving much pressure into your face. Use a little round movement for the best possible move and finishing. Make sure it’s big and make sure it’s fluffy!

Eye shadow brush- This one definitely must have, if you want a perfect eye makeup, especially if you like a smoky eye.
