White Liners: The New Trend?

Image
Hello makeup lovers, I am excited! Let's talk about an old makeup style that has come back with awesomeness - lining the eyes with white liners! The black eye liners give your eyes the shape and size you desire. Their effects to your eyes can't be over emphasized. Thought nothing could ever replace them? Well you are wrong. Here comes the white liners, the new beauties. Not just used to line the water line of your eyes, but you can do a lot more than that with it. The white liner has always been in existence, but it's come back as the new kid in the block. (lol). Rihanna rocked the white eye lining style at the Virgil Abloh's design debut. We find other celebrities go for this choice of eye lining colour instead of the usual black colour. The white eye liner seems to be making waves of recent and it has become most makeup artists' crush. The 'how' to apply is quite simple. If you have perfected your usual black eye liner application, then app

Age Defying Creams And Serums.

Hello makeup lovers, I understand the panic we go through when we notice fine lines and wrinkles on our face and neck or even our hands. Nobody wants to look old but rather wants to have a smooth bright skin, without wrinkles. That is why I decided to share with us some of the highly reviewed age defying creams and serums. The science behind the most powerful wrinkle fighters, which are retinol, alpha hydroxy acid and hunectants like hyaluronic acids, say they actually work to decrease the appearance of fine lines and signs of aging. Anti aging products made up to $130 billion market in 2017 alone. A number that will keep rising. It's a big business and there are a lot of formulas to choose from. Retinoids are the best anti-wrinkle ingredient in the market. They help your skin to shed off old cells and make new ones. They also help stimulate collagen production, improving elasticity and filling in lines. Alpha hydroxy are the second best ingredients to fight aging. Alpha

Should Makeup Make You Unrecognizable?

Hello makeup lovers, I am going to talk briefly about the above topic. You can also share your thoughts on this post in the comment section because I really want to know your views. Thank you. Makeup, when applied the right way, in the right places, in a subtle way, enhances your features and makes you beautiful. It gives you that confidence knowing you are looking beautiful. You may want to enhance some features or play them down. Doing this in a subtle way, will be beautiful and attractive. But when you EXTREMELY or EXCESSIVELY enhance features or play them down, you become someone or something else; and that's DECEIT. (oh yes!). The picture above, can be used as an example. To be honest, this is a very beautiful makeover. But take a look at the chin, jaw lines and cheek bones in the picture. I think they have been extremely done. I will definitely scream if I see the top left face after her makeup is off; because the top left face and the bottom right face ar

3 Oil Mattifiers That Really Work.

Hello makeup lovers, We are going to look at 3 oil mattifiers that really work. I hope you get all the help you need. Women who have oily skins, look for products that can help reduce the shine on their faces especially the T-zone. But most times, we end up being disappointed because the product didn't do exactly what it said it could do. It's always a night mare for us when our skin drools with so much oil just an hour after our makeup application. We want that smooth matte finish on our skin and need a product that can do that and lasts for at least 8 hours! Before we review the 3 products, let me differentiate a primer from a mattifier. Most people mistake a primer for mattifier. A primer is a skin prepping product worn underneath makeup to enhance the appearance. Preparing your canvas(face) for a smooth matte finish. It helps makeup look better, last longer and prevent creasing. It also block pores but not as much as an oil mattifier. An oil mattifier is used to
