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.

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.

Double Winged Eyeliner

The double winged eyeliner is very mysterious.
The Egyptians were the first to have this look dating back to the arts of Ancient Egypt.
You can use gel liner however in order to get that dark winged look its better to use a liquid liner and make sure you lift the brush towards the outer corner of your eye and flick your brush in the direction you want to have check mark winged out liner.
If you be tooo precise and draw your lines its not going to look good.
