HOW TO FIX MAKEUP PRODUCTS

There might be  few makeup accidents  that you have witnessed be it a messed up eye shadow palette  or a pricey lipstick that your little  niece was playing around with or a dried out eyeliner.So here are a few magical mantras i am going to talk about or more like makeup hacks.

1.   Dried out  Gel Liner / Cream Eye shadow

Gel Eyeliners are great for those dramatic eye look but the only drawback that all the Gel Eyeliners /Creme Eyeshadows have in common is that they dry out quickly .There are many hacks to  fix a dried out pot ,by just popping it in a microwave for 10 seconds  but i was a bit skeptical about the whole  idea  SO if you have some Gel Eyeliners/ Cream Eyeshadows lying around PLEASE dont throw them away  heres a quick and safest way to fix those dried out pots:

• STEP 1:  Use a blow dryer with medium setting and hold it close to the  gel liner for about 20-25 seconds  depending on how dry your pot is  (you might want to hold the pot with a cloth or place it on a flat surface as the pot gets  pretty  hot )

    

   

• STEP 2 : After the consistency of the gel liner starts to  get creamy  take a toothpick and mix it well so that the product on the base  also gets heat

• STEP 3 : Repeat the fist step for about 10 seconds .

            

  

                     

 And there you have it  your creamy Gel liner/ Eyeshadow .You can repeat the same process as many times you can  if your pot dries out again .

(AFTER)

            

EOS LIP BALM (SUMMER FRUIT)

Lip balm is a absolute must have" cause those chapped lips are just not cool".I have no count on the amount of lip balms I own FOR REAL .There's always a lip balm in  my sling bags its like that moment when you put your hand in your bag and wonder "wait is this mine when did I buy that " .

when the whole eos lip balm  craze began  I knew I was in for a treat.The one thing that drew me towards it  is for obvious reason  'its dome shaped'

• The balm is clear  on the lips with a subtle fruity scent and let me just tell you it  tastes yummy  
• The packaging is  quite different from most of the lip balms  its made of rubber with a grip on the side and it is the perfect size to shove in your pocket n purse. 
•   Its weird how such a  small little lip balm could lasts for  such a long time .
•   Its not glossy like other chapsticks  

 Its one of those products wen you pull it out in from your bag in college  and  rub it on your lips n your best friends like " omg waaattt is that thing" and snatches it . It would definitely come under my Top 5 favorite lip balms  Hence i would give it 4/5 stars  

e.l.f shimmering facial whip and milani lipstick(fruit punch)review

Their was an event in Jeddah, where their was a sale on all american brands like milani,elf,kiko,urban decay,mac ,wet and wild and many more in discounted rates.It was a nice event where ladies could have a look at the makeup products available and the lady who was holding the event was very humble and she gave us time to look at the products and take our own time. I myself had very less time so could grab only a few products.

This is basically a highlighter which can be mixed with foundation to give a dewy look or can be applied over foundation on the areas you want to highlight.I purchase this in lilac petal which is a champagne color which is perfect to highlight where ever needed.

REVIEW ON ORIFLAME VERY ME MIRROR LIP GLOSS -CERISE

HERE'S A QUICK REVIEW ON THE ORIFLAME VERY ME LIP GLOSS IN THE SHADE CERISE .THERE ARE MANY DIFFERENT SHADES IN THIS LINE AND I WOULD LOVE TO GET MY HAND ON THEM AS WELL

   

HERE AN UP CLOSE LOOK ON THE SWATCH  I LOVE THE COLOR PAYOFF .

WHEN I FIRST LOOKED AT THE SIZE OF THE LIP GLOSS I WAS APPREHENSIVE OF WHETHER IT WOULD LAST ME A MONTH AT LEAST  ,BUT TRUST ME A LITTLE GOES A LONG WAY

PROS:

• It is highly pigmented.
• Whatever you see in the tube is the color that is  gonna be seen on your lips
• It has a sweet bubble gum scent to it
• You can definitely  build the lipgloss ,you get a sheer color when you apply a single coat; to get more pigmented lips you can further apply two coats and get the perfect color
• The packaging is cute and would attract anyone.
• The transparent tube makes it easy to identify the shade
• You can find a wide range of shades from the very me collection line 
• Easily affordable
• Travel friendly. THESE ARE SO NIFTY JUST TO THROW IN YOUR HANDBAG 

CONS :

• It feels a little sticky when applied in the start but when it settles it forms a smooth glossy layer 
• I would not recommend it if you are going to a party but other wise you could use it for daily use in college and have it your handbag
• I had a little difficulty while applying it as it has a  thick consistency
• It lasts  fairly about  2-3 MAX 

 MY FINAL THOUGHTS : IF YOU ARE A GIRL WHO LIKES TO TRY DIFFERENT GLOSSES I WOULD SUGGEST YOU TO GIVE IT A TRY AS THIS IS AN ABSOLUTE  STEAL FOR THE PRICE .ON THE OTHER HAND ITS DOES NOT LAST LONG  AND WEARS OUT WITHIN 3 HRS.

PRICE : RS 249/-

TOP TEN MAKEUP HACKS / TIPS/TRICKS

1)  "TOO MUCH IS TOO BAD"


DON'T USE TOO MUCH OF  LOOSE POWDER TO GET A FLAWLESS LOOKING SKIN AS IT CAN CAKE UP YOUR LOOK,INSTEAD USE A WET MAKEUP SPONGE TO APPLY FOUNDATION IN THE BEGINNING.

2)DRAW AN UPSIDE DOWN  TRIANGLE 
DRAW A TRIANGLE WITH YOUR CONCEALER WHICH  LIFTS YOUR FACE AND HELPS BRIGHTEN UNDER EYES







3)GREEN CONCEALER 
NEED TO COVER THOSE BAD BOYS UP?  HERE'S A SOLUTION :USE A GREEN CONCEALER .TO DAB OVER YOUR PIMPLE THEN APPLY    A CONCEALER THAT MATCHES YOUR SKIN TONE PERFECTLY  THIS WOULD CAMOUFLAGE THE PIMPLE


AVAILABLE : HERE





4)  MATTE  LIPS
AFTER YOU'VE APPLIED  THE LIPSTICK BLOT IT WITH A TISSUE  AND DUST IT WITH  A TRANSLUCENT POWDER THIS WILL NOT ONLY GIVE YOUR LIPS A MATTE LOOK BUT WILL STAIN THEM WHICH WILL  MAKE THE SHADE LAST LONGER








5) USE THE HASHTAG  #

BEGINNER IN CREATING A SMOKY EYES? DRAW A SLANTED HASHTAG AT THE OUTER CORNER AND THEN  BLEND BLEND BLEND THIS WILL CREATE A SOFT SMOKY LOOK







6) 3D LIPS

CREATE A 3-D EFFECT ON YOUR LIPS BY APPLYING A SHIMMER SHADOW ON THE CENTER OF THE LIPS (OR) ELSE YOU COULD USE A BLUSH FOR A MATTE 3D LOOK.


7) PRIMER  

 PRIME YOUR LIDS WITH A CONCEALER BEFORE APPLYING A EYESHADOW THIS WILL  MAKE THE EYESHADOW  VIBRANT ,PIGMENTED ,CREASE RESISTANT  & WILL LAST SO LONG  THAT YOU WOULD NEED A  LITTLE EFFORT TO REMOVE IT





 AVAILABLE:  HERE




8)LONG LASTING LINER

TO MAKE YOUR EYELINER LAST LONGER FIRST  APPLY A CONCEALER , SET IT WITH A COMPACT AND THEN USE YOUR LINER OVER IT.
ANOTHER WAY IS TO SET YOUR EYELINER WITH A MATCHING EYESHADOW








9) LAY YOUR FOUNDATION AND THEN CONCEAL

 MANY OF US MAKE A MISTAKE BY APPLYING A CONCEALER AND LATER THE FOUNDATION .WHEN YOU APPLY A FOUNDATION ON THE CONCEALER YOU'LL REMOVE MOST OF THE CONCEALER AS THE FOUNDATION HAS A LIQUID
CONSISTENCY WHEN COMPARED TO A CONCEALER .HENCE  BY APPLYING THE FOUNDATION IN THE START WILL REQUIRE LESS OF CONCEALER .

10) GEL LINER 
TURN A PENCIL EYELINER INTO A GEL BASE LINER BY USING A MATCH OR A LIGHTER .IF YOU DON'T WANT TO TURN INTO A GEL LINER YOU COULD JUST HEAT THE PENCIL  AND USE IT  TO CREATE A SMOKY LOOK
