Hey ladies,

I realize that a lot of times most girls have their foundation routine totally wrong and then just have this uneven color on their face (aaarrrrggggghhhh). It could be normal for people, but for me, it’s totally not right!!

So I thought up these tips to help you create a wonderfully flawless look with your foundation. Hope it helps you!!!

* Tap foundation on with sponge or finger. Your skin will look luminous, yet natural.

* To give the skin a dewy finish, moisten a pad or wash cloth in astringent and gently pat your already made up face. The astringent (witch hazel is perfect) will remove the matte look of makeup, while leaving the skin radiant.

* Open your mouth when applying foundation to expose the neck area and eliminate an obvious line at the jaw line.

* After your makeup application, take apart a tissue, and pat over your face. It blends the makeup together while softening the look.

Hi everyone,

How have you been, hope good!!!. Sorry you've missed your regular tips and tricks for a while, but i assure you, we are back and loaded!!!

Here are a few tips for giving your eyes some definition without looking like you tried too hard.

-Start with a base to neutralize any redness you may have in the eye area and to help your color last all day without creasing. Eye makeup products Tara Eye shadow primer and Mary Kay eye shadow primer are perfect for prepping your lid for a neutral look.

-Swipe a soft neutral shade all over the lid. You can go with a beige, peach, or bone color depending on your skin tone.

-Apply a taupe or brown color in your crease using a rounded crease brush. Avoid red-based browns. After applying, use a blending brush to blend as much as possible so the color fades gradually.

-Use a pencil eye liner in a medium brown color.

-Be sure to fill in your brows. This is an essential step for making your face look complete. Use a powder or soft pencil in a shade that is just slightly lighter than your natural brow color. Follow your natural arch and fill in the brows, being sure to blend well.

-A brow highlighter helps round out your look. A neutral shadow applied to the brow bone just under the brows adds a little highlight/definition without adding color.

It is very easy to get a natural eye makeup look with the right makeup products and a little bit of practice. After a few tries, achieving this look will become just as effortless as it appears!!!

Hi Ladies,

You bought red lipstick...but many times you found that the shade just wasn't right for you. Perhaps most of the time it was just too bright for your skin tones.

Try adding a little brown to your red. It tends to tone down the brightness. Experiment a little. You will have lots of fun and create signature colors that are all your own.

If you manage to make/mix up the perfect color for yourself and you don't want to continue mixing your own color, take a sample to the mall with you and find a red that is as close as possible to the shade that you created.

I hope you find this useful when you want to look va va voom for that special night out!!!

Hi Everyone,

Many of the cosmetic brands offer a wide variety of textures, hues and types which are appropriate for the different needs, weather conditions, shape and color of the eyes. As you know there are: 

liquid eyeliners /that come with a brush and a tube/, 
pencil eyeliner
powder eyeliner.

Unlike the pencil eyeliner, the liquid eyeliner should be applied only to the upper lash-line because it is very heavy for the lower lashes. Those who prefer the classy look should consider using only pencil eyeliner, as the liquid eyeliner creates a more dramatic and sophisticated look.

What are the benefits of applying liquid eyeliners?

frame and defines the eyes
give a longer lasting line
accentuate the eyes
change the eyes’ shape
fill in sparse lashes
emphasize the lash line
deepen the look
highlight the shape of the eyes

Step One. 
Most of the makeup artists advice to apply the liquid eyeliner over the eyeshadow as this way it will stay put on for longer. If you are going to apply an eyeshadow the first thing you should do is to apply an eyeshadow base to avoid smudging and creasing /of course after you have applied your foundation, concealer etc./ Apply the eyeshadows as usual.

Step Two. 
Before you begin the application of the eyeliner make sure you have a mild makeup remover and cotton pads in case you make a mistake. It’s essential to shake the tube before you begin the application. Make sure your hand is steady in order to create a flawless line.

Step Three.
The best way to apply liquid eyeliner is to start drawing in the centre of your upper lash-line. If you find drawing a straight line difficult you can use pencil eyeliner and create a few dashes. Then with the point liner brush of the liquid eyeliner try to connect these dashes. Create only a few dashes. Never draw a line with pencil eyeliner and apply liquid eyeliner over it – you can easily ruin the result. Draw the line as close to the lash-line as possible, following the natural curve of your eyelid.

Step Four. 
If you want to create a thicker line, build the line gradually very carefully.

Remember to holler for any beauty consultation,

Cheers
