Ways to wear DENIM SHORTS

Btw, these are just pictures from the internet...that I thought would be a good outfit with denim shorts. (Their obviously NOT my ideas, nor my own pictures)

BLUSH TIPS & TRICKS

I actually already did a post about Blush; but I recently checked it out, and I didn't really like it. So I'm re-doing it...and hopefully some of these new tricks will help out a little more :) 


-PICK THE PERFECT BLUSH. For blush, there's one simple rule. The lighter/fairer you are, go for bubble-gum, cotton candy colors. The darker/tanner you are, go for peachy, coral colors. 


So this might go better with fair/light skin tones: 


 (dandelion by benefit)


This might go better with tan/slightly darker skin tones: 


 (georgia by benefit)



And this might go better with darker skin tones: 

 (dallas by benefit)





-APPLY IT ANOTHER WAY. I admit it, I'm guilty of this mistake. We all know that, when applying blush, you smile really big and apply the blush onto the apples of the cheeks. That's all great and stuff...but what happens when you stop smiling?


Your cheeks drop, and the blush won't appear to be on the apples of the cheeks...and it won't look natural. 


So the best way to apply it, is the same way you apply your bronzer (aka contour). Just take your blush and sweep it on your cheekbones :)


exactly like this: 




If you apply bronzer powder (countour) AND apply blush...be sure to apply the blush= upper ; and bronzer = lower


For example, you can see it on Kim Kardashian here: 


And this model as well:



Their bronzer is at the hallows of their cheekbones, but their blush is right on the cheekbones. 


Another Tip: 
When your doing this, whether with bronzer or blush (or both!) be sure to not go ahead of the pupil of the eye. 




For example, look right at the pupil of the model's eyes above. Then, in your head, draw an imaginary line straight down from her pupil. Make sure that your blush/bronzer never goes forward or ahead of that line. 


Sometimes when people go ahead of that line, the whole makeup, looks too heavy and too obvious. 




-MASTER THE NATURAL FLUSH


Blush looks best when it looks natural on someone. It's soft, natural, light...not obvious, cakey, or heavy looking. 


Here's an easy way to achieve natural looking blush: 


Mischa Barton's makeup artist, Nick Barose, uses a light liquid foundation ON TOP of a cream blush...to create a natural flush to the cheeks. Almost as if "blood is rushing to your cheeks"






EXTRA TIP:


To get a really pretty, illuminated look, dab a little bit of shimmery powder onto the highest point of your cheekbones (closest to the eye)

Quick Tip: MAKE FOUNDATION LOOK NATURAL

Foundation shouldn't look like foundation. "Foundation should look like skin"...at least, that's what the pros say. And they're obviously, completely right. No one wants a cake face...everyone wants a beautiful, flawless finish to their foundation..to make it appear that they have touchable, baby soft, gorgeous skin. 

So here's a quick tip!: 

-After you have finished applying your foundation; take a tissue and PRESS it against the skin. Don't smear it or do any motion with it. Just press it, all across the face. 

This will take out the oils from the foundation...BUT leaving the pigment...so it'll give a more matte, natural look. 

P.S. Tissue as in the Kleenex kind.."blow your nose" tissue NOT the kitchen ones. 

So yeah..hope this helps! take care:) 

Maybelline Fit Me Foundation Review

Get fit! Maybelline has launched a brand new line...Fit Me...and it's designed to give everyone the perfect fit...with a light, flawless feel to it. 


So this time, I decided to give this new foundation a whirl :) 







SHADES: 


It's available in 18 amazing shades...so no matter what...you're most likely covered. It also has SPF 18; so you can check that off your list. 


For a little bit of help, here is the link to Maybelline's Fit Me Foundation: 
http://www.maybelline.com/products/92/face/foundation/fit-me-foundation/ivory/115?shadeId=494

If you look below the description, there is a little button named "Shade Finder"...click it; and hopefully it can help you find your perfect shade :) 







COVERAGE 


I would definetly say it has a light to medium build to it. 


It's great for people who just need a quick "pick me up", light, airy, kind of foundation. 


Likewise, this foundation feels really light on the skin. It feels like your not wearing foundation at all. Really fresh, light...etc. 




PROS


-reasonable price (about $6-$8 at drugstores)


-wide variety of shades


-feels very light


-easy to blend


(they also did the hard work for you, and have easy matching, coordinating blush, concealer, and powder)






CONS


-not full coverage (but it's perfect for people who don't need a lot coverage) 


-Shiny finish; you have to set it with powder..or it'll look really oily/shiny




Would I buy it again?


Probably Not. I have a lot of imperfections (acne, acne scars, blemishes, discoloration...etc.) and I need full coverage. This is on the "light, fresh" side. 




So yeah :) Hope this helps!

DIY EYE MAKEUP REMOVER

You don't need any fancy pants 'eye makeup remover stuff' to get the toughest smokey eye wiped off. In fact, these methods are so simple, so cheap...that you only need ONE INGREDIENT. (There are 2 DIY eye makeup removers btw) 


-VASELINE





Just apply some vaseline all over your eyelid (or wherever your eye makeup is), take a tissue or cotton cloth and simply wipe. If you see that there is still something there, repeat. 




Another method/way: 


-OLIVE OIL 




Try using Extra Virgin Olive Oil...because it is said to be a little better than the normal kind. 


-Just smear/apply some olive oil to your eyemakeup. Take a cotton cloth, and just wipe off. And if there is still more, than just repeat :) 


Yuup, so yeah, hope this helps, 
and take care :)
