Nude Lipstick



Nude lipsticks!

Picture this, your going for that everyday look style but you dont want to ruin your simple make up look with a harsh gloss or a bright lip colour... so what do you do???? Find your perfect nude lipstick to complete your day look




Nudes

When it comes to a nude lipstick it can at times be very fustrarting because you want to avoid all the dont's to wearing a nude.

Don't find a shade that is way to light for your skin colour 

Don't wear a nude lip colour that looks like you've packed on some foundation on your lips...we want a nude-lip not an all round same colour as your face lip!

DO! find a nude lip that complements your colouring! test and try afew because you'll see which one suits you very well

A good way to colour match your perfect nude is to hold it up to your lip and see if it enhances your colour tone





 If you have a fair complexion, it’s best to use a shade that has a slight pink tone to it so you don’t appear washed out. For those with medium or olive tone, select one that has a honey-like colour to it, as this will also warm up your skin. And lastly, for darker-skinned beauties, a sheer pinky-nude will work wonders, or try a soft taupe.





What brands to perfect that right nude lipstick you say?
Well your in luck.. ive found my top 3 favourite nude lipsticks as well as a lipliner trick that works like a charm! ;) 





                           L'Oreal Lipstick

 L’Oreal’s Fairest Nude. This is a traditional nude color that has been described as creamy, moisturizing and applies evenly. This lip colour glides on like a dream and is super creamy, so even if you have chapped lips, it’s very hydrating and looks great! 




Ysl Lipstick
Creamy nude lip colour in sweet honey comes in a super glam gold lipstick case adorned with the famed YSL logo. Sensual Silk has been described as a heavily pigmented and long wearing lipstick that’s perfect for a midday pick-me-up or to wear out for special occasions!









     Nars Lipstick
    

This Lipstick from nars called  Cruising  works for all complexions its very close to the natural lip colouring! 

It works well for women with thin lips because its a pinky base giving the appearance of fuller lips  












The lipliner & gloss trick!

If you feel you haven't found the right shade in nude lipstick for you, but you found a liner! well your in luck... 
All you need to do is line and fill in your lips with the liner (you can also do this with any colour as well)  Once you have filled in your lips with your shade, add a touch off clear gloss!




Until next time....

Mascara reviews of high end and low end!


When it comes to Mascara you want to find the right one that is going to give you long/full lashes! or long yet separated lashes 

Everyones different! some love that chunky full lash look and others love no clumps look! 


High-End Mascaras









 

Estee Lauder Sumptuous extreme mascara 
Fantastic for a bold thick lash look! 
The brush is quite thick giving your lashes a more full appearance as well as length!

No flake or fall out, stays on all day
I don't like the water-proof version of this i find its way to waxy and clumps up extremely.

Tip: Apply afew coats for an extreme length eyelash look! 

Rate 7/10

 Clinque High Lengths Mascara

This Mascara has an amazing light weight formula to it.
Each coat to the lashes giving them an amazing intense look without any clumpy bits. The curved fine toothed comb works perfectly and capturing each and every lash, including those hard to each corners 
  

Rate 8/10














Ysl Shocking Mascara 

This mascara will give you very extremely long lashes, if you apply afew coats you notice yo


This Mascara will give you the most crazy looking spidery long lashes ever!
Its abit wet in formular so try not to smudge when applying on your lashes...
Perhaps try the old card trick when applying this mascara to your lashes



Tip: When applying wet mascaras use a square white card and hold it above your eyelid, make sure your lashes are on the card and apply your mascara this way you wont smudge ur mascara! 

7/10 









I do love my high-end pricey make up but if your looking for something reliable but cant bare to spend the $50 for a mascara then below are afew of my cheapie chemist favourites! 







The Falsies from Maybelline


This is a great cheapie mascara it literally gives you than length of false eye-lashs look to it

it can clump up and go bit hard on ur lashes after awhile but the brush is fantastic and grabs every lash

5/10















Maybelline Full N Soft

This mascara i used regularly and because it had vitamin c it grew my lashes to a wildly length ....i kid you not

This mascara will do lash separation and volume-building and the formula doesn't clump,flake or smudge!


So if your looking for your base mascara to grow your eyelashes i highly recommend this! 




8/10





Until Next time ......

How to Apply fake LASHES!


When applying fake lashes it can sometimes be either really easy to some or just plain annoying!
It does take some practice but once you get a good technique you'll be applying them like a star!  

In my personal opinion applying individual false lashes are easier than a bar.. but everyones different! Some people say the bar (strip of lashes ) is easier than individual but i will explain both! 






Step one! Finding a SAFE lash glue, I've always used this LASH GRIP glue. Its fantastic and your lashes will come off with abit of water-proof eye make up remover. Your lashes will also stay on all day/night! 



Step Two Lashes! now with lashes i do use the cheap 2.00 shop japanese shop ones! Because they're good for a night out. If you're looking for luxury eye lashes then Napoleon or Velour lashes. 




 NOW TO APPLY!!! 


So after you have done your make up look, apply a small amount of glue onto the lash bar making sure that you glue all the bar of the lash which is the top of the fake lashes. Apply with a cotton tip might be easier so you put an even amount on

Shake the lash for about 40 seconds to let the glue get sticky/tacky. Doing this will help the lashes sit better and incase you make a mistake !

Starting from the outer corner of your eye apply the lash as close to the natural lash line as possible!

When you've got it in place gently pat it to secure the lash and fan ur eyes... YES! fan your eyes because this will quicken up the process of the falsies setting!!




Finally to finish it off add a few coats of mascara, this will blend in your natural lashes! if you want you can curl your eye-lashes with ur false lashes before applying mascara.















   Individual lashes


Now when applying individual lashes there are a few tricks you need to know! 




It is easier to apply individual lashes with tweezers rather than your fingers. The lashes are very fine and tiny so using tweezers will make your life easier to apply them!


Step 1) Put some glue on the back of your hand 


Step 2) Pick up your lashes (as seen in the picture) and dip the end of the lash bulb into glue again wait for it to get tacky before applying 



Step 3) Apply the single lash as close to your natural lash line, again make sure the lashes are facing up as seen in the picture
  is how you want to place the individual lash on your eye lashes

Quick tip place ur lashes upside-down!
Step 4) repeat step 1 and 2 and 3!
Until you build up how thick you want your lashes to look.
You can get a great look by just adding 3 lashes on the corner of your eyes if your in a rush wanting a quick cute look!

And again to finish off add a few coats of your favourite mascara













Until next time.....
