Hi, girls!

I dedicate today’s post to all glasses wearers 🙂 I’ve gathered a few must-follow makeup rules and tips. Women who wear glasses must focus on their eyes which are hidden and less visible. It’s a key thing that makeup goes along with the eye defect and type of glasses.

Short-sighted girls’ makeup

Glasses for the short-sighted people make their eyes look smaller. A perfect makeup must be bold: a few coats of mascara, a bolder eyeliner. Besides, use some tried and tested tricks for making eyes look bigger:

• light, shimmery eyeshadows on the moving eyelids

• dark eyeshadows in the outer eye corners

• a line on the upper eyelids

• a very light, shimmery shade in the inner eye corners

• a light, nude line on the water line

• precisely-coated and curled eyelashes

Long-sighted girls’ makeup

Glasses for the long-sighted people make their eyes look bigger so you need makeup that makes them appear smaller. You must put your mind to it because glasses are going to expose every single mishap or imperfection. The must-use products:

• matte eyeshadow; give up on shimmery or tanning shades which enlarge the eyes

• a line on the upper eyelids and a line in the outer corners

• precisely-coated eyelashes

• bold lip makeup

• a dark line on the waterline and right below it

The more serious your eye defect is, the stronger the glasses are, intensifying the effect of smaller or bigger-looking eyes. That is why we must adapt makeup intensity to the power of the glasses.

A long-wear foundation is important to glasses wearers, too. If you’re one of them, you must also be sick and tired of removing the makeup buildup from the glasses every single day. Am I right? So, invest in a good, silicone-infused foundation and use a setting powder. The effect should last all day long 🙂

Remember one rule: if you wear thick frame glasses, go for a soft eye makeup and bolder lips. If your glasses are subtle, choose an enhanced eye makeup. You must remember to define the eyebrows, too. Otherwise, they’re going to be invisible behind the glass frames. 😉

Hello everyone! 

A natural look and make-up no make-up is a dream of many women. But how to achieve such effects? Get to know the rules that will make your foundation look like your second skin.

How to chose the perfect foundation shade?

It’s a very difficult job. The shade of the foundation must be very close the colour of complexion and it cannot leave any stains, streaks, not to mention the cake effect. At the same time, the product must cover up imperfections, and even out skin colour. The final result depends on choosing the matching shade. How to do it? Apply a bit of the foundation to your cheek and jawline. If the colour blends nicely into the neck colour, that’s your perfect shade. If you are hesitating between a few shades and have no idea which one to choose, ask the beautician for help. They’ll know what to do. 

Complexion vs. foundation 

The foundation must be matched to the type of your skin. There is a different formula recommended for dry skin and another one for oily skin. If your complexion is sensitive or dry, use a creamy or liquid formula. However, if your face is rather oily, use a powder foundation with mattifying properties. I this case, you might as well try out a mousse or silicone consistency products. 

The level of imperfection-coverage 

There are such foundations that, even with a very high coverage, give a natural effect. It all depends on what brush you use. The best is probably the flat top (with flat cut bristles) that is used to “stamp” the face. The second popular gadget is the Beautyblender sponge. Thanks to its characteristic shapes you will cover evenly every part of the face. If you want to apply a second layer of the cosmetic, wait a moment until the first one is fully absorbed. Also, make sure to apply the foundation with thin layers.

Makeup no makeup

If you want to achieve a natural effect, you do not have to cover the whole face with a foundation. All you need to do is apply it to the imperfections. Also, add a brightening concealer under the eyes and apply a transparent powder or a setting mist. Invigorate the face with a blush in a light shade, use natural eyeshadows and apply some mascara to your lashes. Remember to apply a smoothing primer before doing the makeup.

Hello everyone!

As you all know, whenever a new lipstick is launched to the market, I instantly feel the urge to purchase it. The same situation happened as soon as I heard that Liquilust 007 Singles from Pat McGrath are finally available. Can this cosmetic be considered a special task agent? Let’s check it out!

Liquid lipsticks – novelties in the cosmetic world

Until recently, we only knew lipsticks in their traditional characteristic shape. However, for some time the cosmetics market has been filled with completely new products, with a different consistency and appearance. I am talking about liquid lipsticks with a formula similar to lip glosses, but giving completely different results. Why do I prefer such products? Because the application is very easy, the applicator allows you to precisely cover the lips, and you can quickly make any corrections. In addition, such liquid cosmetics give a wide variety of makeup finish.

Liquilust 007 Singles – special task agents 

My favourite lipstick shades from Pat McGrath are dirty roses called Possessed and juicy red – Revelation Red. On the lips, they leave a slightly shimmering layer. They are very well pigmented, have a smooth texture and provide full coverage with one stroke. The applicator in the shape of a triangle makes the application quick and easy. 

Pat McGrath sets 

The brand offers a few lip kits. They include lipstick, pigments and lacquers. The largest set comprises all liquid lipsticks available on the official website (Divine Nude, Possessed, Slay-OMI, Wreckage, Revelation, Nightshade),  a violet and gold pigment and a colourless lip lacquer (which is also available in two other colours). 

Are you a fan of liquid lipsticks? Have you ever used Liquilust 007 Singles from Pat McGrath? What’s your go-to lip colour for this season? Let me know in the comments down below! 

Hello!

The Chanel brand has prepared a spring-summer colourful collection of cosmetics for us. Thanks to them we will be able to move to the warm regions of the Tyrrhenian Sea and experience life in a Mediterranean climate. I’d like to invite you to a cosmetic journey through the ancient streets of Naples.

Cosmetics from Naples 

The collection has been created by Lucia Pica after taking Naples as her inspiration. The colours, ornaments, climate and landscape she has seen there, served as a model for designing the makeup products. The new Chanel series Neapolis: New City includes both intense and more subdued shades of green, yellow, red, blue and black. The series consists of:

– Joues Contraste a light pink and a peachy cheek blush, 

– Dimensions de Chanel a navy blue, and deep black mascara, 

– Ombre Premiere creamy eyeshadows 

– Les 9 Ombres Exclusive Creation eyeshadow palette, 

– Stylo Yeux a waterproof eyeliner in various shades,

– Rouge Allure, Rouge Allure Ink and Rouge Allure Velvet lipsticks in red, purple, orange, and pink shades, 

– Rouge Coco Gloss a lip lacquer (out of the entire range I was mostly obsessed with the blue colour),

– Le Vernis nail polishes in a wide range of pastel colours, 

– Pinceau Levres a brush for lip-product application. 

What are the new Chanel cosmetics like? 

The first time I saw the collection Neapolis: New City, I was surprised by the intense colours and bold eyeshadows. On the other hand, we also have delicate nail polish colors. New cosmetics from Chanel give a matte and shimmering finish, and their strong pigmentation provides intensive and lasting makeup. However, only one cosmetic deserves my true appreciation. It’s a powder and lip balm, Poudre and Levres. In a small packaging, we get two products: a moisturizing and nourishing colourless balm and a pigment in red or raspberry colour. In fact, on the Chanel balm, we can apply any colour cosmetic, and combine the powder with your favourite skin care products. It is all a matter of personal choice!

Typical American make-up cosmetics in pin-up girl style appeared in sale several years ago. I suspect that Marissa Shipman, who found TheBalm brand had no idea that today her cosmetics will be sold in such amounts and for so much money. However, those are worth it, trust me. Continue reading
