More Tips/Tricks

Hi
Today I'm going to share with you some great tips.

First a bizarre one: to keep your nail polishes from going off longer, store them in the fridge!

Next, if you have a lip gloss that you love, which is nearly ran out. You can save it! Place it upside down in a mug of warm water, and leave in for a few minutes. Then the excess lip gloss, will come of the sides.

When flying keep hydrated by spraying a sprits of water on your skin.

Make sure to clean your brushes at least once a week, and used a proper brush cleaner to wash them.

More Tips/ Tricks!

Hi
Today I'm going to share with you some great tips/ tricks. It's been a while since I did my last post like this so here we go!

Always use a eyelid primer before applying your eyeshadows. This will make the colour last longer and look more intense. If you don't own a proper eyelid primer you can use any stick concealer you own as one. Or you could even use a liquid concealer if you want, like: Natural Collection CoverUp Cream.

When are you planning on moisturising? Make it after you have a shower or bath. Then your skin will be smoother and softer.

When filling in your eyebrows, use powder to create a more natural look. However pencil does last longer.

If you've ran out of eyeshadow don't worry! Instead just apply a bit of blush or bronzer! As well even if you do have eyeshadow but you love the colour of your blush, you can still use it on your eyes. This can also work the other way around! I love using the MUA shade 16 eyeshadow as a blush!

Hope These Tips Helped!

Winters should wear colours that are sharp, stark and clear. White, black, navy blue, red and shocking pink all go well with winter complexions. For lighter colours, wear icy tones rather than pastels. Avoid subdued tones like beige, orange and gold.



Summer make-up course

The Latest Look: Winged Eyeliner



The Latest Look: Winged Eyeliner

To create this look you simply line your upper lash line, then create a flick at the end. You can create a harsh line instead of just a flick aswell such as the picture, above on the right.
Liquid or gel liner is much easier for creating a winged eyeliner look.

Loreal Infallible Brush Foundation Review

Hi
Today I'm going to do a review of the Loreal Infallible Brush Foundation. This foundation costs £12.99, which is quite pricey for a drugstore/ highstreet product. This is for normal - oily skin types.

First how to apply this foundation:
This already comes with a brush that is usable. However I prefer to apply it to the back of my hand. Then using a concealer brush apply the foundation on any redness or blemishes I have. I think this is a great way to apply it and still look natural.

This turns quite dry after application and lasts all day, while your at work or school.
I rate this product 9.5/10!

Technic Glamorize Sultry Eyes Duo

Hi
Today I'm going to do a review of these:

The Technic Glamorize Sultry Eyes Duo.
I have the one pictured in the middle above, which is the brown duo. This can create a natural eye look or even a brown smokey eye. According to the packaging these are cream eye shadows. However I prefer to call them shade sticks or shadow sticks.
Something I don't like about this is the lighter colour, creases when applied. However the dark colour does not crease (randomly).
Apart from the base creasing I do like this especially as it is only £1.99.
I rate this 6/10!

4 Super Simple School Styles!

Hi
Today I'm going to share with you some great ideas, for mainly school or they can be used for work as well.
These are all simple styles that anyone can do.
- First one is just straightening all your hair so its super straight. I would recommend ghd's as they are such good quality and make your hair stay straight all day long.
- Another thing you could do is curl your hair with a large barrel curler to create a natural wave in your hair. I think this looks really glamorous.
- You could also sweep your hair back into a high ponytail and secure with a hair bobble. Then wrap around the centre of the ponytail to create a bun. Secure this in place with some bobby pins or using a second bobble.
- Finally a really easy style to do is put your hair into a low side ponytail and tease/ backcomb the ends to add volume to the ponytail. Then hairspray so it stays in place. Finally to finish it of add a hairband, however I would only recommend adding a hairband for school, not work. This should look kind of like the photo above.

Next apply a gold shadow, (like the one above), all over your eyelid.
For your crease apply a light brown.
Now for shadow apply a dark brown for definition.
Finally apply a few coats of mascara, this will make you lashes super long!
