Nars Radiant Creamy Concealer

The Best Ceaseless Concealer in The Market... NARS RADIANT CREAMY CONCEALER WHERE HAVE YOU BEEN!! ALL MYYY LIEEEEFFFEE!!! As a start, I am the biggest fan of MAC ProlongWear Concealer. I like its coverage and how it stays in place all day, barely crease, the watery consistency and the shades variety. Though it is little drying, but its coverage made me ignore the drying part of it. But oneday I was shopping in Sephora and I got my eyes on the NARS concealers. I heard very good reviews about them, but as for my case with dark under eye areas, it was very hard for me to try new concealers. High coverage is must for me. I swatched it on my hand, it felt okay. I did not think that I would like it as I like the MAC's, but I got it anyway. The next day I was getting ready to go out and I tried the NARS Concealer and OH MY GOD! At first it felt very drying since it does not glide as smooth as the ProlongWear concealer. But when I started blending, it covered the whole under...

Loose Powder Vs Compact Powder for under eyes area/ setting concealer..

Image
I have been using compact powder products to set my concealer for more than 4 years. I have tried all MAC Emphasize, Anastasia Beverly Hill Banana Powder, MAC Studio Finish Powder, UNE Compact Powder..etc. Recently I have been using Ben Nye loose powder in Cameo - it has pinkish under tone which helps more in neutralizing dark circles -  to set my concealer and OH MY GOD! I am diffidently not going back to compact powder. Compact powder always dries my under eye area and emphasizing the little wrinkles I have. I know this is supposed to be the role of loose powder but in my case it is the compact powder that makes me look 100 years older.  Compact powder shows on my skin like a thick layer. Even if I go light handed it still gives me cake face under my eyes. It shows under day light and it does not eliminate 100% creasing. It helps with in 85% only. Although I have been always a big fa of compact powder especially that these products are hustle free when you are i...

New Make Up For Ever Ultra HD Invisible Cover Stick Foundation and Concealer Review...

Image
 It is very interesting the Make Up For Ever could manage to produce foundation sticks that don't put on cake face. Their foundation stick is very comfortable to wear and has satin finish which I adore the most. I do not enjoy matte foundations in general so this is an added bonus for them. Also little goes LONG way. literally, you can not swatch more than once on each cheek and once for forehead. Sometimes I use one swatch for both cheeks so I end up with two swatches only for the total face. These swatches provide you with good medium coverage. If you have good skin conditions, medium coverage would do the best for you. The shades range is very good as well. Though I faced some difficulties to          match my shade as I am fair as milk. Anyhow, I totally recommend                                                       ...

How to avoid your concealer from creasing ! - My best way for a crease-less concealer

Image
Creasless concealer ! how hard that is to achieve. No matter how expensive or affordable your concealer is, the little fine lines in the eye circle area will always find its way to suck in your concealer. I used to go for every concealer that has "creasless" stamp on it !!.They do help but not as I wished for. So finally I found a new way to wear my  concealer, and frankly speaking, it improved my concealer look about  80%. So these are the steps I follow: Tone and Refresh: Toning your face and eye area not only feels refreshing and clean, but also takes all residues and oils left on your skin for a smoother make up application I use Rose Water Face Spray from Boots: Moisturize !! yes, I know, everybody says that!!. But yes, you have to moisturize your eye area so your fine lines can be filled with the moisturizer you used. So they do not suck your concealer. I use Sanitas Essential Eye Cream. Apply a Crease-less Concealer: Some how they help in t...
