How to get makeup to look "dewy"

We have all seen models and celebrities always with flawless makeup, and having that really beautiful "dewy" beautiful glow to them. So how exactly do you achieve that look?

1) Apply a moisturizer before you start. This will help seal in moisture, and prevent any dry skin from seeing through.

2) Apply your makeup as normal.

3) When you are setting your makeup with setting powder (your finishing touch), be sure to not overuse. Use just a very light coat, and don't powder over your cheeks. This will leave your cheeks moisturized and dewy.

4) If your dewy cheeks are still not achieved, then take some of your moisturizer, and lightly pat it on your cheeks.

And that's it! I hope this helps you guys!

NYC Smooth Skin Liquid Makeup Review

New York Color Smooth Skin Liquid Makeup

What?

the NYC Smooth Skin Liquid Makeup (foundation)

Recommended?

Yes! This is shockingly good. When I first brought, I needed a cheap foundation to have to cover up some blemishes and a cut on my face I had from waxing my upper lip.

When I brought this, I believe it was only about $3 so I thought that it wouldn't work! But WOOO! It has amazing coverage, and gives flawless skin!

Pros?

-Beautiful coverage and good coverage (about MEDIUM coverage)

-Cheap, bargain for the quality

-Flawless coverage but with lightweight feel

Cons?

If you need FULL coverage, then I don't think this is for you; this is more of a medium coverage.

Where can I get it?

Walmart, maybe drugstores. I got it for about $3

What Shades?

There are 6 shades total.

IVORY
(676)

NUDE
(677)

BARELY BEIGE

I hope this helps you guys! have a beautiful day!

MUST HAVES Checklist for Prom

That time of the year is coming once again...

Dance, Proms, graduations, parties, field trips...and of course summer!

Well, I'm actually going to a dance, and so I wondered...it would be pretty helpful if I kind of had a check list as I was getting ready for the dance. I picked up my notebook and started making one. After that, I decided...Why not share it with you guys?

So we're going to go "head to toe" (hopefully I get everything!) :

-HAIR. => How should I style it? Do I have the products needed? Should I wash that day, or the night before? Up or down?

-FACIAL => Do I want a facial? Should I go do a DIY facial or at salon?

-WAXING => Did I remember to wax upper lip...etc.?

-MAKEUP = > (super super big!) WHAT ARE MY MAKEUP LOOKS?

-BODY => Tip: No matter if your dance is one month or one day away; start drinking lots of water! Water will remove any toxins from your skin...which gives beautiful, radiant skin.

=> Again, no matter if you are one month or one day, I would highly suggest doing yoga or pilates before your dance. It will help tone your muscles.

TIP: For example, if your dress is strapless, try doing a lot of moves with ARMS to get toned arms. Or if you're wearing a mini dress, try getting moves with legs.

SKIN => Use a good good good body scrub before the dance! After that, moisturize intensively!

ShapeWear => If you are planning to wear shapewear with your dress, then make sure it fits you perfectly...and that no one can see that your wearing it!

PURSE => Do I have everything I need in my purse? http://tsorain.blogspot.com/2011/05/whats-in-prom-purse.html

NAILS => Am I going to the salon to get my nails done? Am I using artificial nails?

MANI/PEDI => Do I want a manicure and pedicure before the dance? Do I have my appointment? Or am I giving myself a DIY manicure/pedicure?

TAN => Do I want a tan? So should I spray tan (recommend) or go actually get a tan?

DRESS => Are you pleased with your dress?

I hope that you guys enjoyed this!

Here's a little tip: Prepare for the Worst.

Make sure you have everything you possibly need in your purse (if it fits!), ...but the key to having a great event is to just smile and have fun!

So what if your makeup came off, or your hair is nappy, or your arms are flabby, or if you have zits..? JUST SMILE...LAUGH, AND HAVE A GOOD TIME !

When people see you...your smile is the absolute first thing that people see first! If your happy...then their attention won't go to your imperfections...it'll stay at the smile!

Sorry if that was confusing...but have fun! haha!

celebrate!
