Everyday Makeup ❤

In my point of view as you guys probably already know from reading my previous entries, that I for one, is against heavy makeup as they can cause a lot of dilemma for you and your skin. What are they you may ask? Well first of all, it is not a good look! It's unnatural/fake, and kinda looks "drag queen-ish." It can also cause your skin to breakout which can leave you nasty pimple marks. Those are good enough reasons why girls (and boys) should not wear heavy makeup.
When it comes to your daily beauty routine, I suggest to keep it light and natural when  putting makeup on your face. The saying "less is more" definitely applies to this matter.

Here are some tips and tricks for a refreshingly natural looking face everyday you step out of your door:


  • face- do not choose a foundation/tinted moisturizer which has a shade darker or lighter than your normal complexion - this can give the clown face effect, or the orange face look, which are both ugly and unflattering :|
  • when it comes to your eyes, keep it simple - use a bronzer on your eyelids to give that natural look plus the shimmer that will make your eyes pop. Ideally, use a golden shade or silver. But remember! Do not use the highly glittered ones - keep it subtle.
  • also, if you're not the type who likes to put eye-makeup on (which is me), go for the eyelash curler as it can instantly enhance your eyes. Another good trick is to lightly heat the eyelash curler using a hairdryer  in a low heat setting before curling your eyelashes - this technique can increase the "holdage" of your eyelashes' curl.
  • for your lips, keep it...SIMPLE. haha that is my favorite word today. use a shade of color that does not look harsh, which means no bright colored lipsticks! lol. I recommend the nivea lipbalm range - they offer the best lipbalms around as the product moisturizes your lips and adds a bit of color just enough for everyday use.
  • cheeks - use whatever blush on you want. i love blushers and they are my favorite type of makeup. blushers can brighten up your face (literally if you put too much on..not a good idea). I use the L'Oreal Bare Naturale Gentle Mineral Blusher. This product is really good as I can put as much as I want and the color of my skin still looks natural and glowing. also, its mineral powder which is a total plus! apply the blusher on the apple of your cheeks (if you don;t know where they are, they are the round area on your cheeks when you smile with your teeth out. haha.), and not under your cheekbones as this technique can make you look older and gaunt-ish. 



..and you're all prep and ready to go!
