Maybelline Master Bronzer Palette

/ Analucascardigos / 7 Comments

Hi everyone, welcome back

Testing out new makeup products is one of my favourite things to do, I guess that’s the reason why my collection is so big …. Today I’m going to talk about a product that I’m loving; . Maybelline master bronzer color and Highlighting kit palette

Now, summer glow comes to life with a sun kissed bronzed & highlighted effect.
Create a highlighted bronze look for a multi-dimensional sun kissed glow with our all-in-one palette.
Bronze shades: pure bronze pigments for an all-over golden glow
Universal highlighter; illuminates and adds gradient for dimensionality…..

If your looking for a bronzer and highlighting you need to try Maybelline Master Bronze Color and Highlighting Kit. I love the 4 options for colour to suit your skin tone and contoring effects you can create are fantastic with a slight shimmering effect.

The product itself is really easy to use, goes on well, doesn’t clump and gives me that elusive summer glow….  I would recommend this to everyone, this is simple to use with brilliant results!

 

Have you ever try this pallet? let me know your thoughts, in the comments bellow 😉

Thanks 🙂

Summer makeup tips

/ Analucascardigos / 7 Comments

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 ….

Related image

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.

Avon Mark glow on face illuminator review

/ Analucascardigos / 3 Comments

Hi everyone , welcome back ….

Image result for avon glow on face illuminator

 

 

What I love most about this product is that I can wear it however I want …. 

The first way is wear it alone. Simply apply to your bare skin and let the product work to brighten and blur any imperfections.

The second way is to prime before applying the rest of your make-up. As well as minimising the look of pores, using this as a base will allow your look to last all day!

The third way I would use this product is to highlight over the top of make up. Apply to the high points of your face (cheekbones, nose and cupids bow) for a strobed effect.

Once blended into the skin it gives a gorgeous, healthy glow ……

Another way to use the product is to mix with your foundation to make a matte- finish foundation more dewy in finish.

I really recommended , if you have any question please comment below 😉

Thanks 😉

Highlighter Tips for the Perfect Glow

/ Analucascardigos / 11 Comments

Hi everyone, welcome back

If you’re a makeup enthusiast, I’m sure you’re very familiar with highlighter

Here are some highlighter tips you might find useful:

Image result for highlight face tips for summer

Cream highlighters, for instance, are great if you have dry skin because it will not make it look flaky or emphasize the dryness while powder is perfect if you want to achieve a very subtle glow.

Pick the perfect highlight colour – highlighters come in a variety of colours and each colour can give off a different effect so picking the right color is crucial to achieving the perfect glow. Champagne and bisque tone highlighters are universally flattering but peach and pink toned ones are great for adding that radiant look.

Know where to highlight – basically, you’ll want to put your highlighter on the high points on your faces including the nose bridge, the center of your forehead, your cupids bow, the highest points of your cheeks.

During the Summer you will sweat. Keep your highlighter on point with a bit of powder over it.

Image result for highlight face

  • Focus on the high points of the face.
  • Sweep a little under the eyebrow and a bit on the Cupid’s bow of your lip.
  • With a small brush, run a line of highlighter down the bridge of the nose.
  • Place a dab at the top of the cheekbone making sure not to apply any to the apple.
  • Blend in with a sponge or tap in with your fingers.
  • Take a clean sweep across the face lightly to blend any lines.
  • Finish with a translucent powder just on the T-zone and on the sides of the nose.
  • Highlighter is also beautiful placed on the tops of shoulder and along the collarbone.
