Every time I have to report or write on something, I try to find different things to talk about other than clothing. I've been focusing on SELF this month because at the end of the day, it is you who has to make yourself into who you want to be and not what others 'think' you should be.
Today I wanted to reiterate and capture some MUST HAVES for those of you into makeup a little more than mascara and lipgloss. I've dabbled with these products for months and I must say...they do what they do. Check it out!
COLOUR-CORRECTING: NYX DARK CIRCLE CONCEALER
For those of you who have dark circles, dark lids or dark spots from acne scars can truly utilize a colour correcting concealer to temporarily 'vanish' the issues. Dark circles and spots usually have a blue base to it due to lack of oxygen and pigmentation, so a salmon or orange colour concealer will colour correct that to the point it disappears, it's truly amazing. This NYX brand goes from light to dark to accommodate your skin tone.
STIPPLE BRUSH
I mentioned this briefly before but I must say that a STIPPLE brush truly moves your foundation and powder evenly when you apply in dotting or patting motion PLUS it acts as an eraser...too much blush, fall out eyeshadow etc it blends it in nicely and smoothly. ELF has a great one for just $3US. I love it and it's the best!
SETTING SPRAY: URBAN DECAY ALL NIGHTER SETTING SPRAY
I remember when I use to apply foundation and go. Why do you need all that drama with setting powder and setting spray??? Well my dears...it makes a diff. Even if you dont set your foundation with a powder, if you want your makeup to STAY PUT all day...then you gotta get the URBAN DECAY ALL NIGHTER SETTING SPRAY. It's lightweight, not too wet and truly keeps your art work together. Not expensive but sometimes in the land of makeup..price is not a factor! I've tried ELF & SACHA COSMETICS setting sprays and they are ok...they spray very wet but they do set but they are not as good as UD!.
EYE PRIMER: URBAN DECAY PRIMER POTION
Ever wonder why your eyeshadow creases or disappears at the end of the day? it's because there is nothing holding it to your eyelid. That thing that holds it to your lid is called an eye primer. I have tried many but the Urban Decay Primer Potion is thick, not sticky, spreads evenly and holds that eyeshadow ALLLL DAY, ALLLL NIGHT! They have different types such as a shimmer, anti-wrinkle or with a tint but I use the one that disappears into your skin. You don't need much as a little goes a long way and it is worth the price!
So for those of you that like to dabble a little deeper in makeup, these are just a few MUST-HAVES to keep, replenish and stock up on unless the formula changes.....which so far it hasn't (crosses fingers). As always HAVE FUN and BE CREATIVE. THIS IS FASHIONISTA NEWZ!
