No Shine Summer Makeup Tutorial

Since I have done makeup tutorials this Summer that use shimmer or sparkle, I wanted to do one that was a completely matte look which is also heat and sweat proof and perfect for a Summer day or night look.
I'm beginning by applying the Maybelline Baby Skin Primer all over my face and then I am just applying the Benefit Porefessional in the T Zone and this is going to keep my foundation in place for longer and give the makeup something to grip to. I am using the Collection Naturally Matte Foundation all over my skin, blending it with the Real Techniques Expert Face Brush and Miracle Complexion Sponge. Then I am just setting my foundation with the Essence All About Matte Powder.
 The first shade I am using is 'Fawn' and I am patting this all over the lid.
Then I am blending 'Oak' into the crease.
To add some depth to the look, I am precisely blending 'Earth' into the outer corner
Then I am blending 'Carbon' into a V shape on the outer corner of the eye.
I am finishing off the eyes by applying a thin line of liquid liner and mascara. I am using the waterproof Lash Sensational Mascara from Maybelline and the Seventeen High Drama Intense Liquid Eyeliner.
On my lips I am using the new Collection Lip Butter in the shade Crimson Velvet and this is a really pretty red shade.
 
 
 Do you prefer matte or shimmer makeup?

How To: Apply False Nails

Image
Hey guys Today I thought of doing a quick post today. Today I wanted to do a 'How To' post and this one is Applying False Nails. Even though it's easy, you need to do it properly so they look as natural as possible. And I'm going to tell you how I apply my false nails. You need: False Nails (you can get them cheap in supermarkets, makeup stores etc) Nail Glue (most nails come with glue, but you can buy glue at Superdrug for around £4 ( www.superdrug.co.uk ) Cuticle Pusher or cuticle stick Nail scissors (curved work best) Emery board 1) Begin by selecting the false nails that best fit your natural nail. It needs to be accurate because it will look more realistic. 2) Use a cuticle stick/pusher and gently push your cuticles back to avoid the nail sticking to it (which, will hurt if you take them off!!) If you want, you can cut the cuticles off. 3) Apply nail glue all over the natural nail. Be careful with the glue - it bonds in seconds, difficult to remove

MUA Cosmetics Review

Hey everyone Last week for my birthday, I went shopping and while I was in Superdrug and I  picked up some things from MUA (Makeup Academy). There are some products here I haven't tried, one product I have but not this particular name. I actually fell in love with this brand when it was a very small company when everything was £1! Then the company expanded which made me very happy and so I tried   these products and I have mixed reviews. The first product I am reviewing is the BB Cream. This is £4 in the MUA online store ( www.muastore.co.uk ) or in Superdrug ( www.superdrug.com ). I wanted a BB Cream because I find foundation is too heavy and is bad for your skin and I started to go off tinted moisturizer. Anyway, for the price in general is OK for the product. I bought Shade Medium last week and I think this is a bit too dark for me even though the medium and light shade are very similar. The BB Cream is easy to blend. For me, this is going to be mixed with something light
