Top 5 Full Coverage Foundation Finishing Powder Combo

Full coverage foundation sounds a bit extreme, but what i mean is the foundation you would wear to someone's wedding or for a night out on the town with the girls — to any special event really. It's heavier than the foundation or tinted moisturizer you might wear to work, and it gives you a flawless, where-has-my-real-skin-gone look. You know the type when you have to wash your face like three times to get it off? That one! We've also got party season beauty front of mind, so there's no better time to talk full coverage. In order to get a heavier application to stay-put, the same beauty rules apply — you need to finish with... finishing powder! 

Clinique Perfectly Real Makeup

"Thick , blends in really well and has a super subtle shimmer so no need to mix in any illuminator. The oil-free formula is also perfect, awesome."

Clinique Superbalanced Makeup

 "A bit old fashioned, but when a big day that requires solid coverage should always go back to Clinique’s Superbalanced makeup. Love how I can layer it where I need more opacity, but leave it sheer where I don’t."

Mac Cosmetics Sheer/Loose

"Dust this puppy over t-zone for prevent shine and foundation from slipping off the face. It’s super fine, and not too chalky-feeling." 

Revlon ColorStay MakeUp for Normal/Dry Skin

"clear, evenly-toned skin for a big night out. Made for dry skin , doesn’t feel caked on and the colour matches skin tone perfectly. Best thing though, is that it really looks like the user has got a bare face!"

          YSL Le Teint Touche Éclat Foundation

" Thick without being cakey." 

20 Beauty tips that will rock the hell out.

My top 20 beauty tips that will rock your world.

1. Your foundation will look only as good as the skin underneath. To get an even, smooth look, cleanse and exfoliate regularly.

2. For a longer lasting foundation, try a product with silicone. The silicone creates a sweat-proof and smudge resistant second skin.

3. If you have sensitive skin and are prone to allergic reactions, make sure you test new cosmetics on a small patch either on the inside of your arm or your neck. If after 24 hours you don’t have a reaction, it is safe to use the product.

4. If you have acne or find you cannot use any skin care products without getting an allergic reaction or dry itchy skin, make an appointment with a dermatologist.

5. A powder bronzer under blush can really even out skin tone. I dab my brush in the bronzer, then into the blush and lightly cover my whole face.

6. For a new bronzer, use a foundation that is two to three shades darker than your skin tone and apply where you would use your bronzer.

7. Papaya mixed with plain yogurt into a paste makes a great exfoliating mask for all skin types!

8. Use an egg white mask for a quick fix for diminishing the appearance of pores.

9. Take care of the skin around your neck as well as your face by applying moisturizer. This is a delicate area which is quick to show wrinkles.

10. Use mascara sparingly. Using too much will make your eyelashes stick together and form into blobs. Dip your brush only once to do both eyes making sure you twist, not pump the brush.

11. No matter how tempting it might be to drop into bed after being out late, don’t do it. Your skin will thank you if you remove all traces of makeup and apply your skin care cream before going to bed.

12. For great looking eyes, make sure to use powder shadows for a natural look and a eyeliner pencil for drama at night. Make sure the liner has a smudge tip at one end to get that smoky eye look. Only line the top of the eye is you’re looking tired. You don’t want to bring more attention to dark circles under the eyes. Neutral tones with a hint of color are flattering on everybody.

13. For sheen on the eyelids, dab a bit of Vaseline for a pretty reflective quality, as well as moisture. Open up the eye with a gold/beige shimmery high lighter onto the brow bone.

14. Don’t throw away cash on an expensive eye makeup remover! Find a pretty glass bottle and fill it with baby shampoo.

15. If your cream eye shadow dries out, use a few drops of water or mineral oil to soften it up again.

16. Potatoes, like cucumbers, will reduce the appearance of dark, under-eye circles.

17. Use blush as a lipstick, then use clear gloss or lip balm over it. Longer staying power.

18. Natural ingredients have been used for centuries as makeup: apply beet juice to lips and cheeks as a stain,or mix it with melted bees wax to make your own lip balm! Cayenne pepper can plump the lips, but use with caution!

19. Use eye makeup remover to treat super dry, chapped lips. It’s a great nighttime lip treatment!

20. Cosmetics do not last forever and using old products can cause irritations. .

BYE!

Does wearing loads of make up makes you prettier?

HELLO 

I wouldn't say that wearing make up makes me more beautiful. Makeup is mostly for covering skin imperfections, and enhancing your best features. For example: I naturally have a very pale tint to my skin, so I wear foundation so that it is less noticeable. I also have very full lips so I wear a nice lipstick to set off my lips. It can enhance your features and with some people it can make them look terrible because they don't know how to put it on properly.  Many women try to over do it with makeup. Just like below, if not for a bollywood dance i had to perform for the night, people will think i'm trying to look like a panda.

I had this make up for a bolly wood dance. It's worn off after a long night.

The trick to a good makeup application is for it not to be too noticeable. Some people do not believe in makeup, but this is my motto: "Even an old barn needs a new coat of paint from time to time". Oh and by the way it takes me less than 10 minutes to do my makeup.

We WOMEN have been systematically brain washed in to believing that to be beautiful and attractive to men, We must buy loads of their chemical laced make-up, and smear it all over our pretty face. 

These chemicals react with the skin over time, leading to premature aging of the skin, which then opens the door for the sale of even more chemical laced make-up sales. 

That's when more money will be spent on 

CLEANSER ,TONER, MOISTURIZER, SCRUB, etc..

Due to premature aging of skin.

                                                   


The amazing part of this is 2 fold.

1) Supposedly, the best makeup job, (which most men would be surprised to discover just how much make-up goes in to this), is to end up looking like she is not wearing any make-up at all. Imagine that. Putting on layer after layer of make-up to make yourself look like you are not wearing any.

2) Women do not appear to be aware that most men actually prefer that women wear very little make-up, that men find largely painted faces to be a turn off, and men really have very little understanding, (nor do men want to understand), all of the steps and crap that goes in to painting our pretty faces. Men only simply know that we women "WILL" and "LIKE" to spend a substantial amount of time in the bathroom, "getting ready" to go out in public. 

Weird, huh?

So Does wearing loads of make up makes you prettier?

Personally, i feel more makeup doesn't make you look better. Being confident in yourself, regardless of what you smear on your face, makes you look better.
