New Makeup!!

I got lots of new makeup for Christmas so I will try and post lots of new looks and reviews in the new year. Hope everyone had a very merry Christmas!

New Year's Eve Nails

Here is just a quick New Year's Eve nail look. Both polishes are by Essie. The solid colour is called Turquoise & Caicos and the top coat colour is called Jazzy Jubilant.

Tip of the Day

Today's tip of the day is actually something I just learned myself. It is very important that you not only wash your face at night, which was what I was doing, but to also wash it in the morning. The reason for this is because when you are sleeping all the toxins and sweat are coming out of your pores and if you don't wash your face in the morning then that just gets mixed in with the makeup you are applying. Not only that but makeup lays much better on a clean face.


I learned this from Jaclyn Hill if you want to check out her youtube channel I will put the link below:

Tip of the Day

Today's tip of the day is all about blending. Blending is one of the most essential parts to proper makeup application. A simple rule when it comes to this is one my friend taught me. She said, "Blend until you can hardly stand it and then blend some more." There is no such thing as to much blending. The main things you will want to make sure you always blend is your foundation, eye-shadow, bronzer, blush, and highlighters. There are certain makeup looks where you will want to blend your eyeliner as well. Please feel free to comment if you have any questions or things to add.

Tip of the Day

Today's tip of the day is a really simple and easy one that doesn't cost any money and anyone can do it. Whenever you are using your finger to apply anything to your eyes, whether its cream, primer, eye-shadow etc. make sure you always use your ring finger. The reason for this is, the skin on your eyelids is extremely     delicate and fragile and your ring finger is the weakest finger, thus it puts a lot less pressure on your lids.

Starting up Again :P

Okay so I realize that I haven't posted for an extremely long time. Shame on me!! Life has been really crazy for the last few months but things have slowed down now and I have a lot more time. I am going to start this new thing on the blog called "Tip of the Day". What I will do is everyday share a little makeup tip I have found helpful. I will also try and post new makeup looks and tutorials as well as reviewing products. I am really going to work hard at posting everyday. Thanks to anyone who checks my blog out!!

Foundation

So today I want to talk about foundation. Foundation is a bit like mascara, in that there are so many different kinds and it really depends on your skin type. You really have to play around with it to find what works for you, but I wanted to share with you two that have worked well for me. The first one is CoverGirl's Clean oil control. It provides a heavy coverage but comes in fair colours (which is good for me because I am as pale as a ghost). Another benefit of this foundation is that it is inexpensive and you can find it at your local drug store. Things that I don't like about it is that it does not match my face as well as I would like. That being said it probably depends on the shade of your skin as well. Another thing that I don't like is that it feels heavy on your face and it is easy to make it look cakey if you are not careful. One last thing that I don't like about it is that it does not blend as well and it is easy to have harsh lines along the outside of your face. Now I know that it seems more bad than good but what I am trying to say is that this foundation can look amazing but it requires a bit more effort to get it there. The second foundation that I like is the Urban Decay Naked. I love this one because it blends amazingly and it matches my skin almost perfectly. Another thing I like about it is although it is a light-weight foundation it builds well. What I don't like about it is, it costs around forty dollars and you can (as far as I know) only get it at Sephora. All in all for both foundations you get what you pay for.
