FINDING YOUR PERFECT FOUNDATION

Finding a shade of foundation to match your skintone is no easy.. It might seem like difficult task but discovering your match is the first step to finding your perfect foundation






in choosing a foundation make sure you are under the natural light avoid choosing in artificial light this will help to determine your perfect foundation





it should always be the exact same shade as your skin.. The darker color and it will be very obvious and lighter and you will look ashen in trying a selection of foundation do it on your jawline as this is the closest to your true colour and not in the back of your hand or wrist





BUT BEFORE THAT KNOW YOUR SKIN TONE AND THE RIGHT FORMULATION FOR YOUR SKIN



FAIR TONE: SUBTLE PINK UNDERTONE TEND TO COMPLEMENT THIS SKIN TONE BEST



MEDIUM TONE: CHOICE OF FOUNDATION SHOULD BE YELLOW UNDERTONE ONLY



DARK TONE: WARM AND SOFT GOLD UNDERTONE ONLY





SKIN TYPES



OILY SKIN:LOOK FOR FOUNDATION WITH OIL-FREE OR MATTE EFFECT FOUNDATION



DRY SKIN:LOOK FOR FOUNDATION WITH MOISTURE RICH FOUNDATION



NORMAL SKIN: LOOK FOR FOUNDATION THAT HAS GIVES LIGHT COVERAGE



SENSITIVE SKIN: LOOK FOR FOUNDATION THAT IS OIL-FREE, FRAGRANCE FREE, AND ALLERGY TESTED

BATTLE: CREAM OR LIQUID CONCEALER

In the battle for perfection.. Concealer is our secret weapon.. They cover up the imperfection like blemishes, eye bags, dark spot and redness but with different formulas which one do you prefer?? The choice of concealer depends on the area you want to cover








CREAM CONCEALER



CREAM CONCEALER: it provides excellent coverage for dark circles,red marks and other minor discoloration.. Well pigmented.. End up looking cakey if you have oily skin but the good thing about cream concealers they come in multi-tones..






LIQUID CONCEALER




LIQUID CONCEALER: formulated to use around the eyes so perfect to hide those bad under eye circles.. Offering good coverage and works better with dry skin..







i go for liquid concealer it is easier to apply and last longer how about you??

Temptations: EYE SHADOW PALLETE

Thousand of temptation im just starting to expand my makeup collection I wish my wallet has unlimited money and so many online shop offers beautiful eyeshadow pallete







HERE'S SOME OF MY CHOICE






88 Colors Warm Make Up Palette






NYX EYESHADOW PALLETE







SLEEK STORM I-DIVINE PALLETE








Maybelline EyeStudi Eyeshadow Quad, Legendar lilac 110







Revlon - Colorstay 12 Hour Eyeshadow quad "Lavender Meadow






Noticed that some of the shade are in neutral it matches the colour of my skin






maybe i'll buy the 88 warm pallete and the sleek makeup pallete.. And for revlon calling SISSY hahaha

BATTLE: POWDER OR TINT/STAIN BLUSH

we cant live without make up especially blushes but with so much varieties as of now like powder, cheek tint, cream blushes and other liquid blushes




WHICH ONE IS YOUR FAVORITE?




POWDER: It gives a beautiful healty glow and works best with oily skin




STAIN/TINT: It is a water based gel that gives a natural look like someone just pinched your cheek





for me nothing beats powder blushes stain/tint it was difficult to use with foundation it tends to wipe your foundation off and become uneven and blotchy as you blend them in plus you have to be quick when using tint.. What i dont like about powder blush is it faded quicky unlike cheek tint its stay like 6 hours and it gives you a dewy glow which i love about this product..





So.. Which texture do you prefer?

REVIEW: EVER BILENA MOUSSE EYESHADOW

I've seen this product many times in supermarket and drugstore. I kept passing on it because i dont want people who know me to see buying cheap cosmetics (It's lame but that's true). However after reading many positive review about this product i decided to try it anyway




The packaging: it comes in a cute little glass jar and easy to store to your kikay kit







I've got mine in amber and opal


AMBER:bronce color perfect base for neutral makeup and brown smokey eye

OPAL:is pearl white color it has tiny shimmer to it so it looks like more silver






These product is very soft and highly pigmented non oily and its easy to blend when i first dip my finger in it im really impressed



it go on smoothly when i apply them to my hand for swatching and they blend easily too the mousse glide easily because of its consistency


I applied 4 thin layers in my hand. Amber is my favorite perfect base for everyday look






I LEARNED that dont judge the quality of makeup by its price how could i ignore such a great quality product by lame excuses? I always perceived ever bilena as cheap and low quality product. quality it is not measured by prize and packaging

NYX COSMETICS AND NYX NAIL POLISHED

BATTLE: LIPGLOSS OR LIPSTICK

woman's lips are the most attractive part of her body. It is great to apply some makeup to your lips choosing what to add to your lips is part of the fun of using makeup and help you make a good impression







lipgloss comes in different packages such as tubes, pots and wands. Perfect choice to carry in our purse but it needs to reapplied most of the time plus it comes with fruity flavor







Lipstick comes in different textures and providing a dense, rich color and lipstick makes us look desirable and sexy








but for me i prefer lipgloss it contains olive oil, castor oil, shea butter to help moisturize lips, add volume to the lips plus it gives more natural look and fruity flavored but i do love lipstick too

BATTLE: LIQUID OR POWDER FOUNDATION

liquid foundation it is the most popular make up choice for all women.. I prefer liquid foundation and powder is messy. liquid foundation easier to match with natural skin tone and color






powder foundation is convinient to take in purse or travel kit and it's time consuming to achieve a polished or natural look with powder foundation however it absorbs excess oil in hot and summer season








i personally go for both liquid first for even skin tone and powder to sets it and make it last longer






how about you? Liquid or powder foundation
