Look gorgeous in 10 minutes

Rush, rush all the time.

We never have hours to spend in front of the mirror to do our makeup.

We are here today to give you some awesome tips how to enhance your beauty in only 10 minutes for daytime look

1. Use Kryolan Supra or Derma foundation  to get a perfect coverage yet natural look. Apply the foundation with wet latex sponge, dab into your skin to get a flawless look. This will take you 2 minutes.

2. Our foundation is super good so for daytime no need to correct and conceal. In the case you have extremely dark circles then you can dab a bit of corrector under your eyes and conceal it in 1 minute.

3. Daytime look is all about natural appearance don’t forget this while you are filling up your eyebrows! Don’t over do them! Use 2 or 3 shades lighter eye shadow to fill up your eyebrows it will take you 1,5 minute

4.Eyes. The same situation is with the eye makeup. Keep the eye makeup simple and fresh. Use light, matte colours. Avoid shiny base for daytime. Creams, beige, sand, browns are perfect for daytime makeup.

Use your all over brush to add a matte base to your lid.

With your fluffy blending brush swipe a bit of brown in your crease line and soften it just to add a bit of definition to your crease.

Take your angled brush, wet it and draw a very thin line on top and bottom lash line with a dark brown eyeshadow. Take the smudge brush and smudge that thin line.

Apply 2 layers of mascara

If you are a really experienced makeup lover this will take you 5 minutes!

5. Cheeks. Blusher is one of the most important elements of the fresh daytime look. Get a peachy – orange blush on your blusher brush and swipe it over on your cheek bones. Gently just with a very soft touch. With this step you will give more glow and live to your face and you will looks fresh immediately. 1 minute of your time

6.Lips. Apply gloss over your  lips. The gloss will make your lips look full and juicy it will take 1 minute of your time!

 

And here you go … you look fresh and flawless in just 10 minutes!

Dos and don’ts in your makeup routine

How does your makeup routine look like?

I believe all of us we have some different habits about makeup application.

Basically there are no rules in makeup. All you need is a clean makeup, stylish and well blended!

Lets start with the Dos:

1.Make sure you take care of your skin. This is the first DO!

Use a scrub monthly once or twice, face cleaning gel or foam, toner every day and moisturising cream.

2. Start your makeup on a clean and moisturised skin.

3. Always try the foundation on your face near to the jawline area to check the colour.

4.Apply the foundation in thin layers

5.Try to use thin layers if you use cream contours and highlights

6.Use Translucent powder instead of pressed powder

7.Use 3 shades lighter shadow on your brows than your brow colour

8.Use matte eye shadows for daytime look

9.Apply peach-orange tones on your cheeks giving you immediate fresh look

10. Glossy lips look more healthy than matte ones, don’t forget to apply a lipgloss for the nice finishing

Now lets see the DON’TS

1. Don’t over draw your natural lips.

2.Don’t apply blush to your cheeks without blending

3.Don’t forget to wash your makeup off at night

4.Don’t go crazy with drawn-in-eyebrows

5.Don’t be afraid of a little sparkle and glitter.

6.Don’t be extreme with your concealer shade.

7.Don’t wear clumpy mascara

8.Don’t get stuck in a rut with your makeup routine

maxresdefault

9.Dont be afraid to experiment with different colours

10.Dont panic if you made mistakes you can always work with mistakes and fix them but if not you will take off the makeup and start again. Makeup is not a plastic surgery you can always start to apply it again and again!

After the tips what and how to do the conclusion is

-Less is always more

-Keep your makeup simple

-The right foundation colour is one of the most important things in makeup

– Blend, blend and blend

-Always keep your makeup clean. No mascara smudges and dark patches under the eyes because of the dark eyeshadows

 

 

Practice makes perfect so don’t give up after the first or second fail! The makeup can always be better!

Makeup steps

How to start your makeup application?

Foundation first or eye makeup?

As you are checking the You Tube videos you will see so many different makeup application techniques and definitely you will be confused.

Makeup-tips-for-beginners
makeup steps

We are here to help you sorting out this confusion.

So lets see the makeup steps:

  1. Make sure your face is clean, the makeup will look much better on a clean skin than to add some makeup on to the existing makeup.
  2. Use a toner, the toner cleans up your skin perfectly, refreshing it and closing the pores, basically preparing your skin for the makeup application.
  3. Moisturise, especially if you have a dry skin!
  4. Depending on a foundation type apply primer. The primer will  prepare your skin for a foundation and will make your makeup lasting longer.
  5. Apply foundation, all over the face, eyelids, under the eyes, blend it to the neck area also.
  6. When is the foundation perfect? When you can’t see it because none wants to see the foundation just the flawless skin, forget about the caked up, mask effect foundation! That is out of trend for a long time.
step-by-step-makeup-tutorial
makeup application

 

 

7. Correct the skin imperfections. Most of the time we are mixing up the correctors with concealers. The correctors are in colours (yellow, peach, green and orange) and are useful in correcting the dislocations on  our face.

8.Then conceal it! Because of the concealers your skin will be green or orange depends what colours are you applying you have to conceal  it. That means the concealers are skin colours.

9.Contour and highlight and of course blend it!

contours and highlights

10.Set your base with a translucent powder

The-Ultimate-Steps-to-do-Your-Makeup-Flawlessly6
translucent powder

11.Start with your eyebrows in this case you can make sure that you won’t miss any part of your face

12.Apply the eye makeup

13. Blusher

blusher application

14.Lipstick

Now you have a question why in this order?

There is a logical explanation for this.

When you start with a foundation you do 60% of the job and you will have a flawless canvas to work on. All the eyeshadow colours will show much better on the already corrected skin. Even if you do a smokey look or working with dark colours you can easily avoid the fall outs by applying translucent powder under the eye area before starting with eye makeup.

This technique is faster and more efficient all you need is to practice

Stay with us tomorrow as we will talk about dos and donuts in your makeup routine !

Have a nice day ladies

Highlighter

 Hi Everyone!

Our topic for today is all about highlighting!
You can learn what is the effect and how to apply
Before beginning your highlighting and contouring, you must first determine your face shape.  Faces can be oval, rectangular, round, heart-shaped, oblong, diamond-shaped, or triangular (including inverted triangular).  To determine your face shape,  pull all of your hair back tightly and examine your face in the mirror, looking for the following attributes.  A measuring tape may be used to measure the length and width of the face for a more precise determination.
OVAL: Oval-shaped faces have a length equal to 1.5 times the width of the face, with forehead and jaw equal widths.
RECTANGULAR: Rectangular faces are 1/3 longer than the width of the face and have strong angles on the forehead and at the jawline.
ROUND: Round faces are as wide as they are long, but with soft, rounded edges.
HEART-SHAPED: Heart-shaped faces have the most width at the cheek, eye, and forehead areas, with a narrow to pointy chin.  Sometimes they will also have a high forehead.
OBLONG: Oblong faces are as long as it is wide.  Straight sides, a high forehead, and larger than average distance between the bottom of the lip and the tip of the chin are common attributes of the oblong face.
DIAMOND-SHAPED: Diamond-shaped faces are characterized by a narrow forehead and a narrow chin with the widest point at the cheeks.
TRIANGULAR (and INVERTED TRIANGULAR): Triangular faces are wide at the forehead and narrowest at the jawline; inverted triangular faces are widest at the jawline and narrowest at the forehead.Determining your face shape will help you decide where to place your highlights and contours and what features you’d like to define or downplay.

Highlighting certain features of the face can be super flattering for the spring time, if done properly. By illuminating specific areas of the face, you’re putting them in the spotlight, but don’t think taking a face powder with tons of shimmer and applying it all over will give you a flattering look. All good things must come in moderation (even glitter).When it comes to brightening any part of the skin, it’s always a good idea to stick with the “less is more” mindset. Features like cheek bones, under the brow and cupids bow, nose area, chin and forehead are all prime targets to apply some sort of illuminator. We put together every highlighter tip for your face, from where to put a brightener to which products you should be using. Take a look through the slideshow above to see some of our favorite celebrities exemplifying the highlighted.

Blusher application and the right colour for you

Hi guys welcome back. Yesterday we talked about False Lashes!

 

Today we talk about blushes!

 

We have all seen those people that were far too much blusher and look a bit like a clown. This often causes many of us to stay away from blusher and not use it for fear of looking like a fool. The aim of this article is to explain the benefits of using blusher and how to apply it to get the right effect.

When Blusher is used correctly it will add a natural glow to the skin as well as adding contours to the face. It is a great tool and should appear in any woman’s makeup bag.

What Type of Blusher?

When looking for blusher you will find you can get it as a powder, cream of even a gel. They all have different qualities and it is a good idea to pick one that you feel comfortable using. The creams and gels will stay on the longest but the powders will come with more choice of colour. Powder must be applied over foundation whereas other types can be applied on bare skin.

What Colour should You Choose?

When choosing the colour of your blusher, you should first consider your skin tone and then, the look that you want to achieve. Now let’s consider the types of colours and how they work.

Cool colours – These are colours that tend to have a blue undertone and will add freshness and a healthy glow to your face. For light skin go for a pink and a plum or similar will work for darker skin. If you are wearing a brown or orangey lipstick don’t use a cool colour for your blusher.

Warm Colours – These will normally have orange undertones and they work best for contouring the cheeks and adding definition to the face. If you have a light complexion then you should think about using a light apricot whereas a burnt orange may be better for those with darker skin. Don’t use a warm blusher if you are going to wear a cool lipstick or a lip colour that has a blue undertone.

Universal Colours – These are those shades that generally come in between the cool and warm colours. The advantage of these is that they suit everyone and go with any share of lipstick. For light skin you are best to go with a peach, for medium skin rosewood works well and red is best for darker skin.

Natural Colours – These are the neutral beiges and browns. These have very little red in them and are best used as a bronzer rather than a blusher and can in fact be use alongside your usual blusher.

TIP for the day:If you were at all worried about blusher you should not be now. Experiment, try different colours, just remember that blusher should be subtle and look natural

Stay with us tomorrow as we will share some awesome tips about your makeup steps and how to do them in a right way. This will save you some time and money of course!

Don’t miss it!
