DIY Different Eyeliner Colors / Glitter eyeliners / Glitters Base

Image
If you do not have this thing, then go get it ! EyeKandy base is a water based sealer for powders and glitters, it makes any powder or glitter stick to any skin surface, including the lips. Suitable for sensitive eyes and it is very affordable ! If you ever needed a colored eyeliner or a certain eyeliner color that you can not find, you can simply have an eye-shadow of the color you want, scrub a little of it on a plate using a tip of a spoon or a make up spatula, put over the powder you scrubbed few drops of this base, and using your eyeliner brush, draw the eyeliner you want on your eyelid. It is similar to Inglot Duraline and Lit Base except it is way cheaper. this is the brush that it comes with the base you can use it to stick the glitter on your entire lid or lower lash line, or you can use it to have a glitter eyeliner as well - which is my favorite way of using it- or just use eyeshadows for eyeliners, my favorite eye-shadow/eyeliner color is Burgun...

Anastasia Beverly Hills Banana Powder VS MAC Emphasize powder

Image
The most famous highlighting powders from both brands. Banana is yellow-ish powder where Emphasize is a strike white powder. Which one is better? When to use each? I own both of them and I spent quiet good time with each. I have to set my concealer or it will crease as hell. According to the sizes, Mac powder is larger pan than Banana powder.  You can notice the difference in colors. I used to use MAC Emphasize all the time but once I got the Banana powder I started switching between both of them as follows: - Day time : Banana Powder  - Night Time: Emphasize Powder - Day Time Noticeable Highlight: Extra Banana Powder with little bit of Emphasize Powder - Night Time Brightening : Extra Emphasize with little bit of Banana Powder My philosophy is that it is hard to wear white powder through day time in the sun. I shows like you are wearing tons of highlighting powder, however, when using the banana powder, the yellow tone in it set the unde...

Sigma Vs Zoeva Vs Morphe

Image
OH MY GOD.. I can not believe that finally there is other brands for make up brushes waaaay cheaper than MAC and Sigma with the same performance and the same quality! This is heaven on earth!! I used to use all MAC brushes at first, then I started using sigma. It is true that sigma brushes are excellent quality and they have different designs, however, every time I wanted to order - the very basic brushes- my cart turns out to cost me a fortune. Not to mention that copper or gold colors are more expensive!.  Despite all the expenses I bought all sigma brushes and they worked wonderful, except one which is the F80 brush, I had little issue with it but the company replace it for me ( I like companies who stay behind their products!).. Then I met  Zoeva  !!! UUGGHHHHH!! I ordered the "romantic copper" set for about US 78$ only, I received 12 eye brushes. They are like HEAVEN, soft hair, great at application or blending, many designs for the brushes...

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...

The Best Ceaseless Concealer in The Market... NARS RADIANT CREAMY CONCEALER

Image
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 eye with one application and the minimum amount of concealer in the wan...
