How to maintain your makeup at work

Image
I wear makeup to work. But after spending 8-9 hours at work. Our make up is then exposed to hard conditions. So we need to reinforce it. HAHAHAHAHA These are the steps I follow for keeping my makeup fresh looking: 1- Mario Bedascu Rose Water Face Mist: I always have this mist in my bag for refreshing my makeup and my face in general. It is very light weigh and it smells good. It is safe to apply over your makeup. I use it also to get rid of the powdery look for my face when applying makeup. 2- Compact foundation / powder for touch up: usually the foundation rubs off near jaw line and around mouth areas fast. These areas are often touched and rubbed with our hands. I always keep a compact powder -you could totally use compact foundation too- for touch ups every now and then. I prefer MAC 3- Cotton Swab: When working outdoor for long time your mascara or eyeliner smudges. I always keep some cotton swaps in my bag for removing smudges around the eye area. ...

List of foundations I used recently and reviews

Image
Hello Bellas: I always tend to try new foundations. I have dry to normal skin so it is hard for me when I try to use  full coverage foundations. they are mostly too drying and matte, and some of them cracks near my mouth . So  This is a list of the foundations I use since the beginning of this year, some of them worked so good for me others were a bad experience: MUFE HD Foundation: This is my favorite in the list, it is very light weight yet very full coverage and build-able. It leaves the skin flawless and perfect like it has been photo-shopped. Great for taking photos. I usually use a brush dampened with Fix+ or a damp beauty blender to apply it. Both ways it wears beautifully. Clinique Perfect real makeup foundation: I was so excited to try this foundation, especially knowing that Clinique is medical makeup brand, which makes you more relaxed when trying their products. However, this foundation did not work for me at all. It is horribly Matt, an...

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                                                       ...

The replacement for MAC Face & Body Foundation !!!

Image
Hello Bellas: I lived for MAC Face & Body Foundation. My friends name me after this foundation. It is very watery, sheer, glow-y, very suitable for day-time usage and very natural on the skin. It never clogs the pores or becomes cake-y on the face. It is very build-able to medium coverage, very applicable on the neck as it does not set in the lines.I LOVE IT. I love the way it works on the skin, when you start buffing it on the skin, the water in it is absorbed by the skin leaving very fine and photo-shopped finish on the face!!! UGGHHH it was my best!! BUT, It is unavailable lately!! I heard that MAC has discontinued it! as easy!! anyway, I suffered alittle, then I found the holy grail, MAKE UP FOR EVER FACE & BODY FOUNDATION! OH MY GOD!! I like it as much as I like the MAC one. So sheer, illuminating, beautiful finish, medium coverage, perfect for blending cream products above it. Simply it is perfection, especially when knowing that 75% of this foundation is...

Diorskin Nude Air Serum / Dior Serum Foundation

Image
How do I start. You can tell that I am a huge fan of Dior cosmetics, though it is in the pricy side, yet it is very durable, and a small amount goes a long way. You do not need a foundation or a mascara each month :D !!. The Sample I had I first tried this foundation from a sample I had, oh my god, you can immediately feel the velvety finish on your skin. The foundation brush flowed freely on my face, the blending was so easy and the amount of the sample - properly a dime size- was enough for my entire face and the upper area on my neck. This is what I meant by you do not use much of your product and it is going to last a good period of time. That was - obviously-  for sheer coverage .You feel you are wearing nothing on your face, it is like your bare skin but better. The packaging of this foundation as all Dior products is so luxurious and fancy and the texture of the liquid inside is runny and light weight. The finish of the Dior Air Serum is so smooth and de...
