HIGHLIGHTING TIPS AND TRICKS

Highlighting Boot Camp is in!

You guys see how this model has radiant cheekbones and the nose? And see how it just catches in the light?

Well...guess what? You can get that same supermodel look...real easy, and real fast! 

What you're going to need:

-a brush

-CREAM highliter (without shimmer)

-powder (to set it in)

(try getting a highlighter without shimmer, because that ruins the whole 'maybe she's born with it' part :) it just ruins the 'maybe natural' look)


A great one is Pearl (or shell) from MAC: 


 



Applying: 


-Just take some in your fingers and gently pat it on your cheekbones and the bridge of your nose.


-Then just squeeze your brush (into a flat angle) and dip it in the powder. Then just pat it where you applied your highlighter. This will help set it and make sure the look lasts :) 


Anyways, hope this helps & take care!

BLUSH

Blush. So many colors!

"AWH! SHE'S BLUSHING!"

Blush is a beautiful way to give you that "I just jogged!" or "It's my wedding!" look.

I know a lot of people of don't wear blush because they say it makes them look like their a clown.

Well, here are some tricks of the trade to get a beautiful glow no matter what skin tone you are(:

Remember this very important blush rule:

The lighter you are, go for bubblegum/cotton candy pink colors. The darker, you are, you for peachy/coral colors.

This one would be better with fair skin

And these! would be better with tanner/darker skin:

And always put on blush AFTER you chisel/contour

If you have a ROUND face:

If you have a round face, there's one teeny tiny trick to do so. Usually, you apply blush on your apples in a circular/round motion. But that just makes your face look even more round! So instead, find your apples, and sweep the blush just under your apples and sweep back to your hairline.

And there you go!

Hope this works for you guys!

oh and P.S. cheekstains work really well too!

FOUNDATION TIPS & TRICKS

Foundation Boot Camp is in!

Here are some PRO tips (I'm not a PRO, but these are from the internet) that I absolutely LOVE....and it works!

-There's 3 aspects to foundation:

-coverage

-finish

-undertone

Go to MAC cosmetics, and click on FOUNDATION, then click on the first one that finds it for you. It's expert tips!

good ones from the drugstore:

loreal true match maybelline

-NEVER EVER EVER wear foundation that is LIGHTER than your skin tone. You might think this is really stupid or w/e, but women do it! And I say DON'T do it! It doesn't blend in with your skin tone, and it gives off a weird..purple "glow"....which isn't a good thing.... haha

-Try to find foundation that is a little bit more YELLOWER than your skin tone.

Why you ask? Because, yellow is going to CANCEL out redness and give you a beautiful glow.

good ones from the 'expensive' end:

-Conceal in the right places! Hit your nose, upper lip, and chin with a yellow-based concealer. Those are the places were women get hormonal red there.

-CONTOUR to give you a beautiful look. Take a chistle brush, and use a blush powder that is about 5-6 shades darker than you. Chistle it under your cheekbone, and fade to your hairline.

And a beautiful brush from PUR Minerals:

use this to chisel out those cheekbones!
