My favorite False Lashes

My favorite false lashes right now is MAC's #4 LASHES. They make my lashes fuller and longer.
They are also one of Kim K's faves!

The Jlo Glow to the Skin

You can mix your foundation w Estee Lauder's Advance Night Repair for a tinted moisturizer.









Then Add MAC's Lustre Drop in Sun Rush on your cheekbones , bridge of your nose, cubic (lips) to give your skin that glowy look.

How to make your eye shadows vibrant


The secret to making your eye shadows pop is in one little product.
Your eye base / primer!!!
My favorite is MAC Paint Pot : You can use Painterly or Soft Ochre.


Apply on your lid or up to your brow bone depending on how dramatic and intense you want the color of your shadow to be.
Wait a minute and add your colors.
Huge difference right?

Lip liner : Apply first or last?


A lot people ask this question.
I used to apply lip liner first and then fill in the lipstick but I found out that applying the lipstick first and then outlining the lips really makes a difference.
The lips look more defined and this helps more with lipstick bleeding.
If your wearing a red lipstick definitely add lip liner last because red lip is meant to have that finished polish look around the lips.


Also, if you want to change the lip color of the lipstick blend your lip liner in with your lipstick on your lips.

Extended Play Mascara–MAC Cosmetics



I love this mascara.
Great for defining your lashes. However it is not volumizing. So if your in a rush and just need to add some mascara on real quick go for it.

You don’t have to worry about it smudging or getting messy when your putting mascara on your bottom lashes because the brush is really thin.

New ways to use products you already have

 


Brows: use eyeshadow with an angle brush to  fill your brows
Concealer: use as a base for you eyeshadow
Mascara: black, brown, bronze can be used on your brows
Cream blush: use on your lips

How do I apply bronzer?

Its easy as 1,2,3 .

Bronzers come in obviously a whole bunch of shades. Your best bet is to choose a shade maybe 2 or 3 shades darker than your complexion.

Take a look at the picture below of the bronzing queen Kim Kardashian.




As you can see she contoured the side of her face to lower jawline and towards her cheeks.

The picture below of Adriana Lima illustrates a much better look of contouring.
You want to make a backwards 3 with your brush starting from the temple of the side of your face to your cheek to your jawline. Following?

You can add a little bronzer on your forehead and bridge of your nose.
Don't over bronze cause you will look a mess.

Great brush to use.
