Dry flaky lips?!! Here's a Tip!

Sugar and Olive Oil Recipe For Lips

Take olive oil and add a pinch of brown sugar. Dab on your lips and let it sit for a minute. Then take a wet wash cloth, or use your finger, and gently rub it back and forth. Rinse with water. Apply a lip balm afterward. You won't stop rubbing your lips together sooooo soft!

Lipstick

This is the difference a little lipstick will make.

On the left its just lipbalm and concealer on my lips,

the middle is Nyx lipstick in Chaos, and on the right is

Nyx lipstick in B52.

You can change a look dramatically by just changing your lip color Amazing!

Exfoliating your face

By gently scrubbing your skin with exfoliating agents, you will remove the surface layer of dead cells. Fine lines will be less visible and your complexion will look brighter.

I love to use the Neutrogena wave
at least once a week to exfoliate my
face. I remember the first time I used
it. My face felt so soft! I liked it so
much that when my Mom came to
visit me I used it on her and she went
out and bought one the next day!

Another Product I like to use is

Oil Of Olay Daily Facials, It cleans

your face while gently exfoliating at the

same time. Its great to take all of your makeup off.

Eyeshadow Primers

Eyeshadow Primers

Have you ever gone to work with makeup on and after a few hours you look

at yourself in the mirror and see that your eyeshadows have all creased

and your eyeshadows are all one muddy color now?

Well with an eyeshadow primer on your lid that wouldn't have happened. There are
many different ones on the market, from really inexpensive ones to really pricey ones.

Now I have not tried any of the inexpensive ones YET but I soon will and will give you my opinion
but for now I'll just show you what I know of that's out there.

Elf eyeshadow primers are around $3.00
everyone on YouTube seems to only say
great things about it. So for me
it's a definite must try. 

Nyx HD Eyeshadow base is $9.99
Read a lot of reviews on this one as well and a lot of people enjoy it.

Also Loreal has one that I have not been able to find yet called L'Oreal
De-Crease Eye Shadow Base. This one goes
for around $7.99. The reviews I have read aren't
all that great but what doesn't work for some might
work for you.

This Urban decay eyeshadow primer makes your eyeshadows last all day, makes the colors brighter, and all that with no creasing!

Apply it to your lid just a small amount will go a long way , then apply your eyeshadows as usual, it drys fast so you have to make sure to work it in quick but once the silicone based primer is on, your eyes turn silky and smooth.

I got it at Sephora for about $20.00 plus taxes.Went home and used it
and it does as its advertised. It's one of my favorite eyeshadow primers now.

MAC Paint Pot

Mac Paint Pots work great as Eyeshadow primers too.
They are dryer then UDPP, you  just have to work
with it a little bit faster. They come in all sorts of colors and
if you wanted to use it as a primer and not a creme eyeshadow
I would choose one that's closest to your skin tone.
They go for around $20.00 plus taxes.
A little goes a long way, you will have it for a long time and
it works really well!

Here are some swatches

Inexpensive products to help eyeshadows stick

If you don't want to spend a lot of money on eyeshadow

primers you can take the inexpensive route and use

cream eye shadows. Here are some examples of some

that I like to use.

Nyx jumbo eyeshadow pencils, Revlon Illuminance Creme Shadows.

Rimmel Eyeful Eye Glisteners.

The Nyx Jumbo eyeshadow pencils are $4.99

and you can get them in Canada at Save on foods

if you go to http://www.nyxcosmetics.ca/index.php?pageId=15

they will show you whats closest to your location.

Or you can get them online and they ship from Canada for

Canadian customers so you don't have to pay a lot for shipping

if you were trying to get it from the states.

Here are some swatches of a few that I own and

what they look like when you blend them.

The Revlon Illuminance Creme Shadows you can find

at most drugstores and walmarts. price in Canadian is

around $9.00 or so plus the taxes, don't forget with

this one you get 4 creme shadows so the price in

my opinion is fair.

    Rimmel Eyeful Eye Glisteners go for around

$9.00 each little more than the others I mentioned

but all do the same job. They work as great bases

for your powdered eyeshadows to stick to.

                 

                How to use them, just apply a little bit to your

eyelid and blend it in then apply your eyeshadows as you normally would.

Color Correctors

Color Correctors

Ever been in the makeup section and there near the concealers is what looks to be a green lipstick?

haha! It's actually a color corrector. If you apply

that green over red spots on your face that

you don't want to be red the green will Cancel

out the red. They also have a yellow that cancels out purple and orange aka Salmon color corrector that cancels out Blue ( usually used for under eye circles). Don't worry when you apply them on

your face they don't show up as green or yellow! They blend in nicely, then you can just finish your makeup as usual foundation, etc. The way to use the color wheel is to look at the problem colors below ( Blue,Purple,Red) and straight across from the

color you want to fix is the corrector color. Green

cancels Red, Yellow cancels purple, and Orange cancels blue.

How To Apply Eyeshadow!

Here are some steps on how to apply Eyeshadow!

Step 1: Apply your favorite eyeshadow primer ( this is optional depending on how long you want the shadows to last, primers help the shadows from creasing and help them stay on longer and help the colors become more vibrant).


Step 2: If you don't want to use primer you can use any cream eyeshadow of your choice and apply that on the lid to make your eye shadows stick!

Step 3: Apply medium shade of the color of your choice to just the eye lid.

Step 4: Apply a light shade of the same color you have on your lid on the inner corner of your lid  then a darker shade of that color on the outer corner to give some depth.


Step 5: With a clean blending brush blend just where the colors end closest to your crease using windshield wiper motion so there are no harsh lines. You can also use a light brown color instead to give the illusion of a deeper socket. That will also give some depth.

Step 6: Use a vanilla colored shimmery or matte eyeshadow just on the brow bone to highlight.

Lastly not everyone needs to use eyeshadow primers, if you have oily lids then I would invest in one for sure because that will prevent creasing and the muddy effect.

What Color Eyeshadows To Use?

To make this easier on yourself and I go to your local arts and crafts store and buy a "Color wheel" lol there 5 bucks if not keep reading!

Anyways on a color wheel it tells you what colours go good with other colors.

What colors compliment each other omg if you love playing with colors and you have no idea how to make them look good buy a color wheel!! It will change how you use colors!!

Sorry im really excited! :D

OK for Blue eyes: Use Warm Colors ie: Red,Orange,Yellow, colors with those colors in them, think of fire when your trying to remember!

Green eyes: Can use all the warm colors plus purple.

Hazel eyes (well arent you lucky) Goes with almost everything because hazel eyes are like a mish mash of colours so you cant go wrong but I would recommend Browns and pinks!

Brown eyes: Use Cool colors ie: Blue,Green, and Purple. 

Now I know as your reading this your thinking WHAT!? im not putting bright red,green or blue on my eyes im going to look like a clown! hahah. Im talking Shades,tints,tones of those colors 

Example when you add White to Blue it turns into a light blue or when you add Grey (white and black) to blue you get a light smokey blue or when you add black to blue you get navy or dark blue. 

Light blue=Tint of blue

Smokey blue=tone

Dark blue=Shade

For example.

                            Dark blue on outside, medium in the middle and light on the inner corner.

Foundation

Here are some steps on how to achieve a flawless face.

Step 1: Make sure to wash your face and exfoliate at least once a week.

Step 2 : Moisturize Moisturize Moisturize!! use your favorite face moisturizer right after washing and drying your face.

Step 3: you can now apply your favorite foundation or Mineral foundation all over your face and neck. ( foundation is used to even out your face complexion so you don't have dark and light spots its all the same color)

Step 4: Now apply concealer to your trouble area's ( blemishes, acne, dark under eye circles)

Step 5: this is Optional!! Set your face with your favorite face powder could be a color or translucent.

And that's how you can achieve a flawless face! Try it out!

Don't forget to have 2 different colors of foundation a dark one for the summer when your tanner and a lighter one for the winter.
