Face cleansers

There's a reason why there are facial cleansers. These products are made for different skin types to address skin concerns that you may have. It can range from being oily, dry, normal to combination, etc. Its best to consult a beauty consultant on what facial cleanser would be best for you.

Please no bar soaps. Why? Because bar soaps leave residue on the skin which can lead to breakouts, clogged pores, and so forth.

My personal favorite cleanser is Estee Lauder's Perfectly Clean. Its made for normal/combination skin which I have and it leaves my skin feeling soft and just CLEAN!

MAC matchmaster foundation

I totally love this foundation not only is it fabulous in pictures! but it has medium to full coverage with a semi matte finish.
The translucent pigments blend with your intensity level as well as your undertone to give you a more eventone and flawless finish. This foundation is great at line minimizing as well. Picture sensitive too!
The color I use varies between 5.0 and 6.0.

Swatches Heavanly Creature

So here is a swatch from MAC's Heavanly Creature mineralize shadow in Magnetic Attraction.
For a more dramatic and intense effect- wet shadow brush before application.

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.

Face Primer- Do I need it?

A lot of people ask, "Do I really need a face primer?" . Yes, you do. I started just recently using a primer. Its amazing and yes it does make a difference. It just gives you that flawless eventone smooth finish all put together.
Try the primer on one side of your face and try just your foundation on the other side.
The texture is totally different and your foundation tends to glide on smoother on a primer so it doesn't look rough or caked on.

Few primers that I think are great MAC Skin Base Visage, Smashbox Primer, Shisedo
