My favorite bronzers

/ Analucascardigos / 4 Comments

Hi everyone , welcome back

Today I want to share my favorite bronzers , They are matte and quite similar in shades…. These three are the ones I use more.

Elizabeth Arden 

Maybelline 

Makeup revolution 

Elizabeth Arden Bronze colour Intrigue ; 

A versatile, soft-shimmer dual-tone bronzing powder that leaves a healthy, sun-kissed glow on the surface of the skin, eliminating the need for harmful exposure to the sun.

The texture of the compact is very fine and hence it blends really well……

Maybelline Dream Sun Triple Bronzing powder ; 

For instant natural looking, sun kissed perfection. Three multi-tonal bronzing shades create your unique sun kissed look, all year-round.

The best thing about this product is, it has 3 shades in one container. You can either combine all the shades using the brush by swiping it around the sides of your face…..

Makeup Revolution London ultra sculpt & contour kit; 

The palette brings three different products – a matte bronzer, a highlighter and a shimmer blush.

This is a nice kit for contouring, highlighting and bronzing. I totally love the texture of all the products and how smoothly they blend on my skin.

What’s your favorite bronzer ? 

Thanks 😉

10 Beauty hacks

/ Analucascardigos / 8 Comments

Hi everyone , welcome back

We always want to look cute, but sometimes, we genuinely don’t have the time. The majority of us want to have our makeup, hair, and nails done at all times, but this seems to be a somewhat impossible task ;

Here are 10 of the best beauty hacks;

 

  1. If you love winged liner but don’t have the hand-eye coordination to do it perfectly, no big deal: You can clean messy edges with a cotton swab coated with petroleum jelly.
  2. To make your eyes seem brighter, use a white eyeliner to line your waterline.
  3. Gently rub aloe vera on your face before bed to reduce acne scaring.
  4. If you want more voluminous hair, wash your hair in the reverse order; apply conditioner first, let it sit for five minutes, then add shampoo, and rise.
  5. Apply baby powder onto your eyelashes before putting on mascara for longer and darker lashes.
  6. For noticeably curled lashes, use a blow dryer to heat up your eyelash curler before using it.
  7. Put concealer on your lips before applying lipstick for a professional matte look.
  8. Repair your broken lipstick with match; simply place the broken pieces back in the tub e and use a lighter to heat it up for a few seconds. Place it in the fridge and it’s good as new again.
  9. Use red or orange lipstick to conceal dark circles;
    Apply the lipstick using a brush under your eye area, then reach for your concealer as normal and apply over the top, blending in with a brush or your fingers.
  10. Apply coconut oil onto your cuticles to strengthen them.

BASIC LIPSTICK APPLICATION 

  1. Apply Vaseline, then use a soft toothbrush to remove dead skin cells, brushing gently.
  2. Apply your foundation as you normally would, making sure you lightly cover your lips too.
  3. Apply the liner that, matches either your lips or your lipstick exactly.
  4. Apply your lipstick with a lip brush, blending from the middle down to the corners of the mouth.
  5. Bolt with tissue. Now replay another coat of your lip colour, blot again and add lip gloss if required.

TOP 5 TIPS FOR LIPS 

  • If you decide a lipstick is too bright for you once you’ve got it on, but scrubbing it off will ruin your foundation, mix a bit foundation with Vaseline and smear this over the shade with your fingertip to mute it.
  • Dark, Matt lipsticks sometimes stain the lips. If this happens, rub the lips with olive oil.
  • Light shades , particularly shimmery or frosted ones , will make lips look bigger.
  • Using sheer lipsticks and lip stains is an ideal way for the nervous to branch out into deep shades like plums, raisins and reds.
  • If your lip gloss is too gooey, run an ice cube over your lips. it’ll keep the shine, but stop that sticky sensation.

Its so important to start the day by cleansing your face. Currently am trying out the L’Oreal skin fine flowers gel cream wash.

The L’Oreal Paris Laboratories have selected and combined extracts of Rose and Jasmine Flowers, in a cleansing gel-cream wash for soft, comfortable and fresh skin, every day. The rich gel-cream texture emulsifies in water, transforming into a creamy foam that cleanses and softens the skin without drying it out.

If you have dry & sensitive skin I definitely recommend this product – L’Oreal Gel – cream wash ….

Top 5 tips for using foundation

/ Analucascardigos / 6 Comments

Hi everyone , today I’ll  talk about foundation….

Image result for applying perfect foundation

Applying the foundation flawlessly is not an easy task. To achieve the perfect coverage and a glowing look, there are basic methods of applying foundation.

Top 5 tips 

  • Never test foundation on your hand – it’s always a different colour from your face. Always apply it to your jawline. the right shade for you is he one that disappears into your skin.
  • if you can’t decide between two foundations shades choose the lighter one, as darker foundations create more obvious tidemarks.
  • You’re wearing too much foundation if you can’t see any of the pores on your skin. Your natural texture is supposed to show through a little.
  • If your makeup starts to shine, use blotting paper rather than reapplying powder, which can often start to look too heavy.
  •  Apply moisturizer five minutes before you start  your makeup. All bases will go on much smoothly if your skin is well hydrated. Tissue off any excess -while hydrated skin is good for foundation, greasy skin will make it slip and slide.

You can use brush or sponge for applying foundation. For blending it well you can also use the fingers of your hands where you feel need.

Don’t forget to apply foundation on ears & neck for a perfect even skin tone look. You can never neglect the most visible areas around your face.

How to apply blusher

/ Analucascardigos / 2 Comments

 

Hi everyone,

Image result for how to apply blusher

There’s no one correct way to apply blusher. The method use depends on the type of look you want to create.

Most women avoid blusher, but used correctly it can be the best beauty tool you own.

For Natural Healthy glow;

  • Apply Foundation as normal. Smile – where your cheek is naturally at its fattest is where blusher needs to  go to create a natural look.
  • Apply the blusher in a small circle, blending well. For the best results try gel blusher.Powder over the top.

For sexy cheekbones;

  • Using powder blusher, sweep colour in an art following the line of your cheekbone up from the apple of your cheek to your hairline. Keep colour light and blended.
  • Add a little shimmer on the highest point of your cheekbone nearest your eye.

Tips for using blusher 

  • If you are using  powder blush, brush it only one way – going over and over or round and round with the brush creates streaks.
  • When using gel our tint blushes to contour the face, don’t just apply one big blob and try to blend it. Chances are the colour will take more  where it is first applied and you’ll find it hard to even things out. Instead, apply a blob on the apple of the cheek and to smaller blobs graduating up the cheekbone, then blend upwards towards the hairline.
  • Gel or tint blushes are best used on bare skin; They tend to stick on foundation and can be hard to blend.
  • While the shade of blush you choose is generally determined by your skin tone.

Natural makeup look

/ Analucascardigos / 1 Comment

 

Hi everyone;

The Natural look is probably one of the hardest to achieve, as it needs a light, skilful touch and careful choice of colour. Natural means enhancing your natural look with as little makeup as possible. Use little to no foundation, especially in summer when your  skin has more colour. Warm, earthy , neutral tones work best ; anything from pale vanilla and almond to mid tones like taupe and terracotta to deeper shades like coffee and brown. Colour choice is personal, although redheads look great in brick – browns and brunettes look stunning in mocha! 

Image result for natural makeup look

Moisturize and apply a convincing shade of liquid foundation if necessary. conceal problem areas, making sure you blend carefully. Set concealer and foundation with loose powder. Dust the apples of your cheeks with a soft shade of blusher to create a healthy glow.

Use a shadow brush to apply the lightest shade of eye shadow all over the lid, from the lash line to the eyebrow. Then brush a medium shade of shadow across the entire lid, from the lashes to just above the crease line, and blend. Apply the darkest shade along the lash line as close to the lashes as possible, placing added emphasis on the outer corners.

Line eyes inside the inner rim and around the outer with a soft, brown kajal eye pencil. Apply one or two coats of mascara. Brush eyebrows into shape and define if necessary with eye shadow.  

Image result for natural makeup lips

Define lips with a neutral shade of lip liner pencil and fill with lipstick’ If you wish, slick with gloss, but remember that leaving it off will make your lipstick last longer. 

  • Tip
  • Careful blending is essential. The aim is to give the complexion a healthy glow by using foundation and blusher that subtly enhance your natural skin tone rather than disguise it.

Makeup – which colour suits you!

Hi everyone ;

Image result for makeup which colour suits you

Stand in front of any beauty counter and you’ll see there are hundreds of eye, lip and nail colours to choose from. Which you pick can make a difference — a shade that’s wrong for you can make you look pale and washed out; on mature skins it can highlight wrinkles and age you by 10 years. Knowing how to choose the right hues for you is vital to helping yourself look your best.

The good news is you can wear pretty much any colour you want, so long as you pick the right shade. To do this you need to know two things. The first is your hair  colour. This shows you the depth or brightness of shade that will flatter you best – the lighter your hair ; the lighter the shade that will suit you. the second is your skin tone. this helps reveal what shades of a colour will suit your best.
