3 Ways To Achieve Any Makeup Look

These are the 3 things you are doing WRONG with your everyday makeup look and your smoky eye. Listen up ladies this is serious. Do you constantly find yourself looking at pictures saying you can copy that look and end up looking like a Kardashian on a night out, yeah imagine that. Maybe you end up looking like a drag queen, those are always fun makeup tutorials, you know besides your everyday look. Seriously, seriously... Without further ado.....

 3. GLITTER

Now some of you may be thinking, glitter is not everyday, others might say i use shimmer there's a difference, and the other ones may be bored and click off at this very moment..... 3....2....1. Either way glitter, shimmer, sparkles, we all use it one time or another why not use it right. Apply you glitter with a loose powder to give it a more natural look! Glitter makes an eye really stand out.

2.BLEND

Blending is s important I can not stress it enough, you, need, to, blend. Some looks may be intentionally not blended however everyday looks are pretty natural meaning you need to, let's say it together *Blend*. An elf lending brush is $1 at Target or Walmart, while a normal applier is doable too. If you only want the pro stuff MAC 224 blending brush is one of my favs! 

1.HIGHLIGHT

Not too say some people don't highlight most people do, whether it be inner or outer corner eye, or just below the brow, you highlight. Most common with white. However if you do not BLEND!!!!! or use too much then you will definitely get that drag look. 

Let's review too much highlight bad, blending good, and glitter good IF used correctly. I hope you enjoyed as always and that you share, comment, like whatever. QOTD: Your makeup pet peeve?

3 Things You Do WRONG With Makeup

When you have been doing your makeup forever, you might think you know a thing or two. Just when you thought you knew Cosmetic/Beauty School says otherwise. These are the 3 things that you have been doing WRONG while applying makeup.

3. Primer

This is a no brainer, if you do not already know about primer it is key to a flawless look, or any look for that matter. As Napoleon Perdis says "Not to Prime is Crime". Think of primer as the base coat, like on your nails. It protects your nail and strengthens it. Primer helps your face for the present, it holds your makeup in place, and strengthens it for the years to come. A key element to applying makeup. Whenever I ask my friends (outside of beauty) what they think, they say "Primer?? What's that??" or "Isn't that just paint??" So I thought I would add this to top three.

  

2.Eyebrows

First of a key element to eyebrows to make them shaped, it to take a mascara wand, clear mascara is best, and pull the wand on your eyebrow away from the face to give it shape. The clear mascara will hold it in place. In Beauty School, they teach you that eyebrow common sense is to just follow the shape of your brow, however your common sense is WRONG! Of course you should know that, the brow should start above the beginning of your eye, and the crease should be above the end of your iris, but how do you properly fill in a brow? Well, beauty school states that you go the opposite way of hair growth, with powder, which allows the eyebrow to lie on the powder making it more realistic. With an eyebrow pencil you should do the same except after going opposite direction, go forward to cover and imperfections.

1.Eyeliner

It is simple to say you know or thought you knew how to apply eyeliner, but do you really? According to cosmetology people will naturally apply eyeliner from the inner corner to the outer and are finished, this method is WRONG. Whether you are using gel liner, a brush, power, pencil, crayon, or roll up eyeliner this is the right way to apply it. Start in the inner corner and move your lining utensil to the middle of your eye, stop. Next go to the outer corner of your eye and move to already existing liner. This is also is relevant to lower lash liner, or water line. This method, the correct method, will prevent bumps and imperfections and is sure to impress your beauty school teacher.

A lot of this I learned in on http://www.totalbeauty.com/ it is a really cool site you can learn tons about makeup. Hope you enjoyed.

July Favorites LATE

July 2013 The Slamming 6

sorta late but here it is!

6.Extracts Vanilla Body Wash-

This is so amazing I love this product sooo so so much!! It makes me smell so good and it smells like just vanilla! Great for baths and for just body wash. I get mine at Target, it is sold in Boots in the U.K. also, and is super cheep! I love this product!!

5.No7 Energizing Face Mask-

Another Target product from Boots, this mask does NOT damage your face unlinke many others. It makes your skin super soft however is a little pricy I bought mine for $17 and it is not a lot of product but still amazing none the less!

4.Maybelline FIT shine-free Foundation-

This is a Matte foundation which is super difficult to find in drug store makeup however finally it is invented! I really liked this product for a summer foundation, it has a semi-light coverage and it surprisingly easy to blend (shocker). Unlike most of my liquid foundations this does not leave me feeling oily at the end of a hot summer day. This is found moderately cheap at any drug store.

3.Simple Revitalizing Roll-On-

Whether you have tired eyes, or dark circles, allergy eye, or anything in the middle this product is amaaaaaazing. I bought this at a drug store on vacation, only to come back and see everyone raving about it. Rolls on cold making my eyes instantly feel awesome and of course keeps them refreshed all day. You can buy this at any drug store, or grocery store.

2.NP Set Day to Night Palette- 

Did not think I would like a drug store palette this much but i did. It has some awesome bases and some really cool transitioning colors to go day to night, preppy to edgy, school to party, I could go on and on hehe. I bought mine at Target (guess a lot of these products are from there huh) It is relatively cheep enjoy!

1.MAC Mtythology-

I actually have been using this as a base rather than a regular color, the shimmer adds a cool look it is a neat summer color. $15 at MAC or $10 at Cosmetic Company. 

I tried to keep this first favorites somewhat cheap and short, I hope you enjoyed!

It taste so good, the color stays on so amazingly well too! This is my Fav lipstick ever by far. Although it is only a small amount of product it IS after all Lancome Paris and as Paris is know for 'Quality over Quantity'. I remember this phrase whenever I use it, to say the least Lancome is officially one of my favorite brands.
