Real Techniques brushes

Hello,

I just got my first Real Techniques brushes and WOW what a beauty!

I decided to get the Expert Face brush and and the Blush brush.

I would definitely give a detailed post later as I have just started using them, however they are highly dense and easy to use. I have used these about 2-3 times and the results are good.

The blush brush picks up good amount of powder and softly glides on skin. 

Comment let me know if you have used any other brushes that are good from the line?

Pink PoP

Hello,

The color 902 from Maybelline Colorsensational line is such a beauty. Not only will this be a hit for your Valentines (depends on how you dress though)  it will do good work throughout the year.

The color goes great with nude blush/neutral outfits as well as dark color clothing.

Its important to note I do not have very fair skin and the color might look  a slightly more purple than pink. But it comes out a pretty vivid pink if you apply light foundation on lips and then start with the lips.

Valentine's looks 2014

Hello,

I have gathered a few makeup looks perfect for Valentines. So if you want classic, edgy, pink and simple you can easily see here!

LOOK 1:
Kim Kardashian look
False lashes must
Thick/heavy mascara
Neutral/matt colors e.g, browns, taupe. 

Kim Kardashian 

LOOK 2:

Classic winged liner

Sure to be a hit any time, any where! 

If your not so much of the false lash person,skip and emphasize on the liner.

A medium brown under the socket gives great depth

A medium pink/rosy shade sure to be in any one's makeup bag will do!

LOOK 3

Edgy and neutral

Colored eye liner underneath the eye is all the rage!

Easiest and the bright color totally brings out the eye whatever you eye color.

Bright green, teal or even a champagne neutral color will do the trick.

Concealing under the eye should be well done.

If you have very dark under eye circles then better refrain 

Nude lipsticks looks gorgeous   

Jessica Biel

LOOK 4:

Bright and Beautiful

Simple on the eyes and brighten the lips

Orangish red is a trend to stay for the season

Brows should be well defined with darker lips

Contouring should not be forgotten

Lily Donaldson

LOOK 5:

Berry bites

Berry/Mauve lips are a classic for winter seasons 

Easily emphasize your eyes and lips like Sandra Bullock

C'mon baby twist Twist!

Hello,

If you don't want to spend or go through the hassle of getting nail art done or can't do it yourself just try this simple fun technique.

I just got my french tips done and added a thick layer of glitter nail lacquer on one of my nails. This is good way to give a twist to a simple manicure and can be done easily at home.

Disco Disco

I used the Essence Special Effect Topper in Disco Disco. Great quality and price. Not only this but there range is fabulous Circus Confetti, Glitter on Me and many more are amazing glitters.

Trend Alert: RED of the season

Hello,

Recently at the British Fashion Awards 2013 the dark lip trend was a big trend and its always a classic look for winters but definitely making more of a statement at the moment.

We just did not get to see the dark deep red but a variety of shades which was a welcome change for the winters.

Kate Moss

Starting off with the big guns of the night, Kate Moss and Rita Ora were most talked about.

They both wore similar red lip look, Kate moss had a slightly smudged technique and the red was not very deep, kind of orangy.

Rita Ora

Rita Ora came in with the defined orangy red lip. Very clean and neat look!

Alexa Chung

Lily Donaldson

Alexa Chung's red lip also had a orange tinge to it. Definitely the trend is dominated by a brighter red than the oxblood red than last season.

Lily Donaldson's red lip i found best as it had a pink tinge to it. Her lip color brought a freshness to the dominant orange red tone seen throughout the night.

The designer L'Wren Scot had a lot of orange going on with her outfit and accessories which looked quite stunning and her lip was not far away from it.

Clemence Posey

Clemence Posey was seen in a red plum deep lip it was a classic but never the less made an impact.

Rosie Huntington-Whiteley

Rosie Huntington-Whiteley, looked immaculate head to toe! 

Her makeup was defined and lips were exactly the shade of her clothes. The red was a peachy red!

So choose a shade for yourself and work out the look for the season.

I'm loving the Lily Donaldson one!

Get the look! Jennifer Hudson

Hello,

The ravishing makeup look on Jennifer Hudson at the AMA's 2013 was inspired by Marc Jacob's Spring 2014  runway! So here is the break down of how to achieve it for yourself.

 Get this look:
1. For the matte finish get Bourjois Healthy Mix foundation or after applying your own foundation remember to dab with anti-shine translucent powder.

2. Start with a gold shade which closet matches your eye skin color and apply all over eye. Maybelline's  Color Tattoo in 25 Bad to the Bronze will serve the purpose.

3. Grab a Bourjois Waterproof Clubbing eye crayon in Bleu Neon to get that statement making liner on Hudson!

4.Line your waterline with a black or dark brown pencil and take the Neon Blue color and put it very closely to the waterline (just underneath) and bring it towards the tear duct.

5. Hudson's blush is very very subtle just dab a peachy pink shade lightly on your apples of the cheek and pull it upwards.

6. The baby pink/powder pink lips can be achieved by adding Rimmel Kate Moss matte lipstick in 101 soft pink/NYX matte lipstick pale pink and add a lip balm on top to keep it hydrated.
