My top 5 favorite lipsticks

March 13, 2017 / Analucascardigos / 4 Comments

Hi everyone,

Today I want to share my top 5 favorite lipsticks……

Mac Diva lipstick is probably one of the most loved shades from mac. It gives a matte finish but not super matte. Beautiful warm toned. Creamy matte texture. It’s one of those reds which go perfectly on any occasion.

YSL rouge volupte. An extremely smooth and creamy lipstick with a formula that transforms into a fluid veil of radiant colour when it touches the lips. Sensual, radiant and strong.

L’Oreal color riche 214 violet saturne

Each L’Oréal Paris Color Riche Made For Me Lipstick shade has been expertly designed to suit every woman’s natural colouring from blondes to brunettes and fair to dark skin tones

Revlon super lustrous lipstick 353 cappuccino. This lipstick blend easily and moisturize lips at once.

Maybelline color sensational rosewood pearl 842. I love this lipstick because is hydrating but pigmented too. Is a beautiful shade for spring.

These are the lipsticks I use more from the last months, and I love them, I’m a big fan of lipsticks. I like to try new lipsticks and different colours.

Hope you like this post, have a great week 😉

Thanks

Beauty Trends 2017

March 8, 2017 / Analucascardigos / 4 Comments

This year opens up the possibility of a whole new range of trends to try and flaunt. It’s always great to be an early adopter of the trends.

Break out your blush and throw out your beauty inhibitions. This season’s makeup trends were all about electric colour worn with fierce confidence.

Dark lips

Giving immediate character to the face, dark lipstick was a Fall/Winter favorite spotted at the biggest shows at Fashion Week.

Nude, gradient, metallic, or bold, the wet eye look is fashionable and here to stay. As opposed to a powder, a wet eye shadow really helps the pigments stand out. For a long-lasting and bolder look, wear a shade you’re comfortable with, but as a wet eye shadow. This will also not have as much fallout as powder ones, which means you can say goodbye to both boring eyes and crinkly eye dust!

No makeup look Actually no makeup look or in other words, nude makeup will be one of the biggest trends of 2017. Embracing your flaws and featuring clean, radiant look is going to be something. So all you will need is something to cover up those blemishes, that’s it!

Bright pops of pink blush on cheeks The 80s look is coming back and we all know. With it comes the pink bright blush and bright lids.

Hi everyone and welcome back;

Today I will talk about some tips how to make your makeup last longer…..

Always use moisturizer before applying makeup.
Use primer to help your makeup last all day.
Use a pressed setting powder if you really want your makeup to stay.
Use a good setting spray will secure your makeup.
For eyes definitely use a primer to make eyeliner and eye shadow last.
Use waterproof mascara & eyeliner.

Use translucent powder over the top of your lipstick to make it matte and make it last.
Use only the amount you need, which probably a lot less than you think.
Store your makeup in a place where it won’t damage easily.

Keep your makeup tools clean, because any contamination of your product may cause your skin to break out.
Keep your makeup out of the sun.
Don’t forget to throw out your makeup once it expires.

Victoria secret lip glosses

February 6, 2017March 27, 2017 / Analucascardigos / Leave a comment

Hello and welcome back ….

I love this lip glosses …. their shine and how they plump up the lips.

The formula has a sweet scent but a slightly sweet taste as well. It feels very light, smooth and comfortable on the lips.

I like to wear Victoria secret secret lip glosses even when my lips feel a little bit dry as the formula instantly soothes out lip lines and gives me a feeling of comfort.

They come in so many different shades and I love all of them ….. I’m a big fan of Victoria secret products and of course I can’t live without lipsticks / glosses and this ones are beautiful …..

Hope you like this post …. Victoria secret

Thank you 🙂

Make your lips look bigger

February 1, 2017 / Analucascardigos / 2 Comments

Full lips look awesome, you don’t need to make a cosmetic surgery to have your lips look bigger, some simple makeup techniques could help improve the look of your lips ….,

Use a concealer to fake a larger canvas. Apply concealer onto your lips, spreading it a little over your lip line . This make your lips look larger.

Use lip gloss in the middle of your lips, using clear lip gloss or a shade close to your lipstick colour. Apply a dab of gloss onto the middle of both of your lips.

Use a lip liner that matches your lipstick, and trace just slightly outside your natural lip liner. Fill your lips in with lipstick.

After apply lipstick, line the outside of your lips with concealer. Use a skinny brush to line the outside of your lips. You won’t belive how much your lips will pop.

To give your lips a fuller, more moist look, apply lip balm, then foundation, then lipstick …..

Use a lip gloss over your lipstick to make your lips look more plump.

This is just natural way to make your lips look bigger ….

Smile and kiss 😉

Thanks

Anita
