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.

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.

How to keep your makeup organized

So you have a whole bunch of makeup and you don't know what to do cause its all over the place and you can't find that gloss to go with that lipstick your about to wear.
Get organized!
Check out your local craft store or even Walmart (they have everything).
You want to get a plastic compartment. It can be a tower of drawerz whatever your preference is.
Depending on the amount of counter space in your bathroom or bedroom is the size you would want to go with.

I like to have a backup plastic bin where I can store new makeup or makeup I'm not going to be using for the season (example. My winter makeup is stored away)
Current makeup is stored in my plastic drawer compartment which I like to have in my bathroom.
It just makes it really organized and accessible to get to when you have just a few minutes to do a full makeover on yourself before going to work, school… etc.

How do I make my lip color intense?

The secret to making that lip color show up more is to blot concealer on your lips before applying the lip color.
Sometimes your natural lip color changes the color of product you add to your lip so you need to cancel your natural lip color out.
Then go ahead and add a lip primer to give your lips a smoother finish.
Pick your lipstick put it on and your good to go!
