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?

Applying makeup, Eyeshadow, mascara and eyeliner

Hi everyone, and welcome back to my blog

Good eye makeup will accentuate the eyes and make your eye colour stand out. How you apply your makeup is entirely dependent on the look you are going for.

It’s important to learn about the shape of your eyes so you can bring out the best in your features. For example, if your eyes are close-set you may want to use a lighter colour in your inner corners to make them appear further apart.

Before applying eyeshadow, applying a cream eyeshadow base because it creates a beautiful texture and a smooth canvas for  eye makeup.

Always blend your eyeshadow well with a clean fluffy brush across the area  where your eyeshadow ends, to create a flawless finish.

Classic black mascara is best for all occasions but pick your mascara according to the look you want. when applying mascara, don’t pump the wand because this will push air into it and encourage it to dry out.

Work from the base to the tips of the lashes and roll the wand to avoid clamps. always apply from underneath so you don’t weigh down the lashes. Allow the mascara to dry before applying more coats if you want a more dramatic effect.

If you want a softer look, line your eyes with a powder eyeshadow using an angled brush. For a more dramatic look, use a gel or liquid liner to draw a line close to the lash line with a flick at the outer end. For an even more striking look, use a thicker line with a more accentuated flick at the end.

Hi everyone 😉

The are a number of techniques you can define your eyes more clearly.

Try these tricks and make sure they really stand out !

 

Image result for applying liquid eyelinerApplying liquid eyeliner;

  • Hold the eyeliner brush between your thumb and forefinger, resting your hand on your cheek. Apply the liner in one swoosh as close to the lash line as you can, moving quickly from the inner corner.
  • Stop the line at the end of your eyelid or go slightly up at sides to create a catlike look. Be careful the line doesn’t extend downwards as this will make you eyes look sad.
  • If thinks go wobbly, don’t hit the makeup remover. instead get blending with a cotton bud and create a sultry smudged effect.

Image result for curling lashesCurling your lashes;

  • Take your eyelashes curlers and place them as close to base of your lashes as possible.
  • Squeeze gently , hold for five seconds and release.
  • Apply your favorite mascara.

Our eyes are the first thing anyone notices about our face, and to give the right impression.

“Eye shadow is the window dressing”.

Fashion trends help narrow the choices, but if you’re like me you shouldn’t follow the pack: experiment until you find what suits you and look to trends for inspiration.

 

Hope you like this simple and short tips….

Have a great weekend 🙂

Hi everyone, Today I want to post about my favorite mascara which I use for a while.

Is only the one make my lashes looks fabulous ……  🙂

The brush is a very different shape to most normal mascara brushes. It’s very long and thin. I find it’s quite easy to control. The colour is extremely black and the brush is really good at separating lashes.

I think most of us know that you should replace your mascara after three months to avoid bacteria breading in the tube …. 

I definitely recommend this mascara …. 🙂 

Thank you
