Avon Mark glow on face illuminator review

/ Analucascardigos / 3 Comments

Hi everyone , welcome back ….

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 😉

MY FAVORITE EYELINERS

/ Analucascardigos / 2 Comments

Hi everyone, welcome back ….

If every girl has her signature beauty look, mine definitely includes a swipe of eyeliner.

When choosing a liner I look for a brand that stays all day, doesn’t smudge and has an applicator that is easy to use.

For this post I have four eye liners to share with you.

  1. The Lancome Grandiose Liner is completely unique and like no other liner that I’ve come across before. This is the liner that is all about that bend. What I mean by this is that the lid of the actual liner bends at an angle which enables you to create that perfect wing.
  2. The L’Oreal ultra precision liquid eyeliner in a sponge-tipped pen. A long-lasting precise line. Super liner is a liquid eyeliner in a special sponge tipped pen for the creation of fine lines or thick. Colour is applied with precision and ease and dries without smudging.
  3. Bourjois Liner Pinceau Eyeliner fluid formula, enriched with deep intense colour, stays in place all day. Its fine high precision brush applicator enables you to draw a thin or thick accurate line as you wish, so you can create an expert result in just a stroke!
  4. Rimmel Liquid eyeliner -Perfect definition. High colour intensity. This liner produces fine precise lines with one brush stroke. Film forming ingredients bond the colour pigment to the skin for long lasting wear.

Tried any of these? Have other favorites? Let me know down below!

Thanks 😉

How to choose your foundation

/ Analucascardigos / 8 Comments

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.

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.

 

Image result for how to choose your foundation

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 😉

Garnier skin active micellar cleansing Gel water

/ 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 – Seven steps to Perfection

/ Analucascardigos / 5 Comments

Hi everyone , Welcome back

Beautiful, flawless skin is something supermodels are born with, Right? Wrong. Pair a few carefully chosen products with the right tools and techniques and make it your birthright too.

Image result for makeup tips

Application –Start with clean, well – moisturized skin, allowing the product time to skin in. For full coverage, dot foundation on the forehead, nose, chin and cheeks.

Blending – Blend foundation using your fingers . pressing and patting lightly into your skin, your makeup will look natural and healthy.

Concealer – Using a small brush or your finger, dot concealer around the inner and outer corners of your eyes. Gently press and blend into skin with your ring finger  but don’t rub in, as this will ‘drag’ delicate under eye skin. Best it you apply over your foundation, so that you can even out your skin tone.

Cover up – Hide any other blemishes that show through your foundation by dotting concealer with a sponge or small brush in tricky areas, such as under the jawline or around the nose. Pat it on with your finger to settle it on the skin.

To set Eye Makeup – To set concealer and foundation under and around the eyes. lightly dust them with a small, fine brush dipped in loose powder. Be careful not to apply to much; excess powder will only emphasize fine lines.

To set foundation and concealer – Use translucent powder that complements your foundation and won’t rob your skin of its natural glow.

Checks and balances – Keep an eye on your makeup throughout the day. Use a lighter formulation in summer or carry a stick foundation for easy touch-up. Avoid over-powdering if you don’t want to look caked. For a matte finish, balance out with moist lips or eyes.

5 tips for makeup last all day

/ Analucascardigos / 5 Comments

Hi everyone , Welcome back …..

1-PREPARE THE SKIN

The first tip is valid for all seasons. It is no use starting a makeup without first taking care of the skin, the dirt makes it difficult to penetrate the products and produce the oil, so do not give up the trio: soap + tonic + moisturizer. After cleansing, wipe with a sunscreen and begin with a makeup.

2- USE PRIMER

Primer will help make the makeup last longer, it is the key to your makeup stay intact, not to mention that it reduces oiliness, camouflage dilates the pores and softens the lines of expression. Always apply after sunscreen and before foundation. The ideal is to use primers specific to each region: skin, eyes and lips, ok?!

3- WATER-PROOF PRODUCTS

Use mascara, eyeliner and waterproof eye pencil.

4- FINISH WITH FIXING SPRAY

To help keep all makeup in place, use a fixing spray . Keep an eye on choosing the right product according to your skin type.

5- NECESSAIRE

Although these tips help a lot to keep the makeup intact, it is important to always carry some products to touch up the make during the day, I always carry a compact powder to take the shine. Find out what your needs are, make a compact necessary and carry it to every corner.

Makeup looks to inspire

/ 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.
