How to perfect your lipstick | Pictorial

Imagen
 Sometimes just chucking on a lipstick isn't going to cut it, especially with some formulas that like to make their way over your face, or does that just happen to me? I've found that applying my lipstick this way, using different lip liners & doing it in different layers helps it to stay put & last a lot longer, too. This is not something that I do everyday but when I have time & I'm wearing a bolder lip colour I like to spend a bit more on the lips. 1. Line just outside of your natural lip line with a lip liner that is close to your natural colour if you prefer a fuller lip. Tip: If you're going for a nude lip, use a colour slightly darker than your lipstick. 2. Apply your lipstick of choice. It doesn't matter if you don't cover up the liner completely as we'll be going over that again. Make sure to really press your lips together to work the lipstick in. Tip: Use a lip brush with the first coat which helps the lipstic

Quick Tip: Washing Your Brushes

So I haven't really been doing quick tips in a while, & I hope these are helpful to someone! :) I try to keep them basic & well, quick, but that doesn't always work out haha. -*Washing Your Makeup Brushes*- You need to wash your makeup brushes often as bacteria will build which will not be good for your skin & eyes. In Between Uses Use a Brush Cleanser daily/ after use to disinfect your brushes & to help them keep for staining. As far as I'm aware, they dry pretty quickly so you can use them not long after if you have to. You can purchase this from MAC & E.L.F & I'm sure there are other good ones out there. Deep Cleaning I go by washing my face brushes that I use all the time once a week, and washing my eye brushes to once a month. That's mainly because I'm lazy :) However I think that face brushes are more important because they are in frequent contact with your skin, so you don't want to develop pimples from the bacteria that may b

2 Peachy Looks + Similar Lips

Imagen
These are 2 looks from the other week, I am kicking myself because I sometimes take pics of the products I use so I can remember, however I didn't and I am so fustrated coz I wanna know what I used on the lips lol! So I dug out my lipsticks & swatched a few, but due to the lighting they look different =/ Hmmmm. I am gonna take a guess! 1st look..     I used the e/s from Kate that I bought in Phuket. Lovely colours but I had to really pack them on to get them to show up nicely. As for the cheeks I am pretty sure I am wearing that Fake MAC blush which is a peachy colour.   2nd Look wow, sorry for the shocking blending! This stuff is hard to use... or is it just me hmmmm Do I need to say that this is not my skin haha   On the eyes I used the fake MAC 8 palette... man was it hard to get anything decent out of that!, probably why the blending didn't turn out too well, & Black Bean for eyeliner. On the cheeks is Physicians Formula Mineral Glow Pearls. So I got all my lipstick

Holiday Haul

Imagen
Yes finally I am going to post my holiday haul.... I hadn't bought really any makeup in a while so I thought I would stock up =) Disclaimer: I am not bragging about what I bought I am showing you just coz! It looks like a lot more when its all pictured together haha.  Please don't stone me because I bought fake MAC!! As you probably know in Phuket they have lots of knock offs bags etc but I wanted to try this fake stuff to see if it compares. & no it doesn't! The 8 palette is a tone of BS, its ok to swatch with your finger but as soon as you go to use a brush it disappears!  The blush I knew from the moment it was fake, as soon as I opened it the pan fell out because the glue had become loose. It also opens up down the bottom to reveal a mirror & brush ha. But alas it is quit pigmented.  The mineral duo looking ones could easily fool a person. The purple one (which I have been using in my FOTDs lately) is called Earthly Riches & The green is called " Fresh

Birthday Look : Yet again Smoky lol

Yep that's right, yesterday I turned the big 2-0 haha :P Well its not really big, it just means I am no longer a teen :0 Anyway I went with the smokey look again, with a bit of a defined crease, yeah it was going to be a cut crease but it turned out dramatic but wearable, once again haha. Products after pics! + some going out pictures :) We went out the Saturday night which was the day before my birthday & on Sunday my fiance (weird to say, right!?) & I went to lunch and went for a little bit of a walk along the jetty. & On Sunday night I had some family come around for chinese =) Pic heavy! Yes my skin is photoshopped by my camera. On camera it didn't look like the photos were turning out so I used this function just in case. A bit blurry but my nails have a dark grey base with gold sparkles :) Eyes: Silver creme base on lid, Nyx JEP in Slate on the outer lid Silvery-White e/s on the lid, dark purple outer lid Black in crease blended out with the same dark purple c
