Ok every one knows how to apply blushes and where to apply them but here are a few facts you might have missed out about blushers. The main aim is always to get the perfectly flawless finish. If you are not applying any pressed powder over your foundation then it is advised that you dont apply a powder blusher on top of the foundation. As the foundation has a creamy consistancy the powder blusher will stick to it and it will not blend well. And if you are not very good at blending then you might end up having patches on your cheeks. Always apply creams over creams. That means if you are not applying any pressed powder over your foundation then apply cream blusher which will easily blend out and give a very natural flushed and healthy look. If you dont own any cream blushes you dont need to worry as lipsticks can work really well as cream blushes. For best results try not to use very glossy lipsticks as they would be more emolient and have less colour concentration. Try out a few differ...

A beautiful glowing skin is an image of perfection. It shows that the skin is well nourished, healty and moisturized. But this can also be attained by using the right kind of makeup products. There are different kinds of foundations available in the market. Foundations with matte finish and also the ones which claim to give a dewy finish. But sometimes the dewy finish of the foundations isn't enough to get the perfect glowy finish you need to use shimmery highlighters. I have heard people often complain about when they use shimmer products, they dont get their desired flawless glowy look. The reason is that they are not using the correct shade of highligter. If you are buying a highlighting product for the purpose of creating a glowy finish all over and not just to highlight the cheek bones, then there are a few thing you have to keep in mind.  First of all you have to know the undertones of your skin and the shade of the highlighter should be according to your undertones. If you h...

Smokey eyes don't necessarily mean blacks, greys and browns... Somkey eyes mean that the colour is concentrated at one place and then it gradually fades into nothing. Smokey eyes can be created with any colour, even lighter shades of colours. There are several ways to do smokey eyes. The most common type is when the colour is concentrated near the lash-line and is blended and fades towards the brows.    The second type is when the lid colour is a lighter shade and the darker colour is concentrated at the outer corner of the eyes and blended inwards. The third is when the lid is light and the crease is darker and blended above towards the brows. Smokey eye looks can be created with any colour, it doesn't  even need to be a darker shade of colour. Here are some examples of colourful smokey eyes... Lighter and softer shades of colours can also be used to create subtle smokey eyes. The the term Smokey Eyes can be used for a variety of different looks. Only the blending ...

Eyebrows play an important role in how you look as they frame your face and we all know how important a frame is aroud a picture. Some people naturally have thin brows but some people are fortunate enough to be born with thicker bows. Thicker brows look more natural and they make you appear younger. Try not to over puck your brows, keep them as close to your natural shape as you can because that gives an appearence of youthfulness where as over plucked eyebrows or very thin and strongly defined eyebrows are usually associated with maturity. And I am sure all of us have noticed that all the walt disney villians have thin arched defined brows. So remember to keep them as natural and soft for the sweet innocent look.

You can apply makeup products in any order you are comfortable with but I personally think that the products when applied in a particular order can provide best results and can last longer. So today I am going to share my version of an ideal procedure of applying makeup. 1. Cleanse ( if you already had old makeup on) 2. Tone (Toner will remove any traces of cleanser left and balance the oils on the face) 3. Apply a serum 4. Moisturizer ( oil free if you have oily skin) 5. Face Primer 6. Eyeshadow Primer 7. Eyeshadows (do the eyes first so you can clean up fallout) 8. Color correctors ( peach/salmon under the eyes, green for reddness on the face etc) 9. Concealer ( under they eyes, and on the face where needed) 10. Foundation 11. Pressed Powder to set foundation and concealer 12. contouring 13. Blusher 14. Highlight 15. Lips This how I usually do makeup on my clients and on myself. You can follow this sequence to get the ultimate results from your makeup products. Used in a prope...

Wearing your blusher on the apples of your cheeks isn't actually the best way to go as it makes you look of age and also makes your face look rounder like the jolly old Santa. The best way to apply blusher is according to your face shape. If you have a rounder or chubby face and you want to make it look more slimmer then apply the blusher at the back of your cheek high on the cheekbones and then contour the hollows of the cheeks. Highlight the highest point of the cheekbones. This will make your face look more chiseled. If you have a very thin face and you want to look healthier then apply the blush lower on the apples of your cheeks. DO NOT smile and apply it on the round of your cheeks, instead keep your face straight and apply it below the area which makes the round of the cheeks while smiling. Dont contour, only highlight the cheeks bones lightly. This will give you a more healthy and fuller look.   Disclaimer : All the pictures in this post have been taken from th...

Dark pimentation on the facial skin is a very common problem. The dark patches could be on any place on the face usually they are seen to be around lips, nose, on the chin area or the forehead. And they could range in sizes. The dark pigmentation has usually been observed in people of colour. I have been asked this question several time of what is the best way to cover these patches, as underneath the foundation and concealers they appear ashy and become more prominent. These dark patches are the most difficult to cover up as the use of colour correctors or concealers makes them appear more ashy and not very attractive. The best way to cover them up is to use a darker shade of foundation ( darker than your usual) on the patches. If you wish you could apply it to your whole face or only apply it over the patches and blend it into your shade of foundation ( full coverage foundation)  really well so that there aren't any streaks or lines. This will even out the skin tone...

It is very important to keep your brushes clean not only when you are using them on others (friends/family/clients) but even when you are only using them on yourself.                                                The brushes used for cream/ liquid products such as foundation, concealers, gel eyeliners, cream eyeshadows etc. are necessary to clean very often as the germs (bacteria) can grow and multiply very quickly in such enviroment and if the brushes are not cleaned and used on the face again, then you will be applying germs onto your skin along with the makeup, which will end up giving you break out, or even reactions on your skin. Even though bacteria does not multiply at such a fast rate in dry powder enviroment but still it is good for your eyeshadow/blusher/contour/ powder brushes, especially the natural haired brushes, that you also keep them clean. Give your brushes a quick but thorough bath every night if you are using them everyday. All you need is a little b...

Woohoo I can finally honestly say I was happy with how this look turned out! I would definitely do this look again for clubbing or maybe even new years, I would probably add some glitter & it would be good to go. Also I think it this goes with any outfit. So I was inspired by this tutorial http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=6fq-lEu73GI&feature=channel_video_title, & I thought it would be harder to get my eyes even but I got it fairly quickly. It doesn't matter if it is not perfect anyway because as they say "eye's are sisters not twins." Eyes: Lid: Stila Kitten.

To be honest, I wish I was more excited about Christmas. I guess it's not the same when your all growned up :( haha :P So I did this look inspired by this blogger here . Mine wasn't meant to be christmassy but I decided that it can be since I haven't done a festive look yet. However It's a copy more than an inspiration because I didn't want to change a thing.& I got compliments at work so I was happy with that :) Ugh I could go into many things I want to improve, like mainly the eyeliner. I didn't mean to make the gold so thick & as it came out I didn't clean my brush enough so it mixed into the black but ohwells.   I also didn't want the yellow to be too outrageous so I added just a hint of it, & I wish I blended right to the eyeliner so it looked cleaner. a tiny bit edited   And most importantly, the inspiration pic Haha that's enough of me picking out everything, here's what I used Eyes: TFSI NYX Milk JEP 120 palette: see picture...

In this haul post here you will see that I finally bought a new eyelash curler. I had my old one for a couple of years now & it was time for a new one since I never really liked that one haha. It dug into the corner of my eyes, leaving marks in my eyeshadow that I had to fix. Soo annoying haha. I wanted to do a quick review/ comparison of them both which I hope will be helpful to somebody, even if they are random brands haha. L-R: Models Prefer, Elite Professional. The one on the left is my new one & the one on the left is (obviously, ha) my old eyelash curler. You can see that the MP is longer but not as chunky, which I think would be better to fit in a smaller makeup bag since it wouldn't take up as much room, if you get what I mean. Sorry for the Elite one for being so gross! I had replaced the pads on it a little while ago after I finally found some hiding, so before that it was even worse. Can you see how the EP one is more curved & shorter on the curler part than...
