Top 12 – My basics for MAKEUP

                     

Hello Divas,

Let’s talk makeup today, shall we? Nowadays, we all love makeup and most of the time we spend hours to admire the art of a makeup artist and wonder if we will never be able to do such and such pattern when watching what they usually do; We also try hard and struggle to see that we are never even close to what they accomplish by just playing with a few brushes and stuff (a way of talk, I agree that they do magic with these brushes). Today I will share a list of must-have in your makeup bag that will allow you to get great results without having to envy them for being gifted of the art of flawless makeup (keep in mind that the result will be clean and neat but not exact same, they have a degree, remember?)!

My friends are usually surprised to see the size of my makeup bag but let us agree “basics” doesn’t necessarily means 1, 2 3. So, let’s see what you can find in my daily beauty bag:

Besides my brushes sets here’s my top 12 must have make up items:

• The Make up Primer (I use M.A.C. prep & prime)
• The Concealer (M.A.C)
• The foundation (Fashion Fair stick or Origins)
• The powder (Bare Minerals, Origins or Fashion Fair)
• The eye shadow primer (Urban Decay)
• The eye shadows (no preference, but I do love a few selections from M.A.C, Avon, Bourgeois and Christian Dior)
• The eye liner (Rimmel London Scandal Eyes)
• Your favorite mascara (a girl best friend)
• The blush (Bourjois & Fashion Fair)
• The bronzer (Avon)
• The lip balm (burt’s bees)
• Your favorite lipstick (for me anything black or M.A.C. cyber)

I use to skip 2 & 5 for work,but you can also skip 6 if you are in the run or if you are not sure how to apply it.

However, if you are going out or just wanting to look particularly fabulous then take time on each of the 12 steps. If you want to look even more glamorous then consider hair or Lash Extensions. These brilliant additions can transform your whole look and will allow you to be creative with your makeup too. By adding lash extensions you will find that your face is highlighted differently and you may want to bring more focus onto your eyes with bolder choices for your eye shadow and liner. Remember that looking fantastic should feel fun so don’t be afraid to experiment with different styles of lash and hair extensions until you find one that you really love. 

Your makeup can change too and I recommend having a few options so you don’t get bored with the colours and you can try out exciting new combinations whenever you have time to properly apply makeup. The style you wear for work does not need to be the same as the look you have for a night out or a more formal celebration like a wedding or anniversary.

Now the brushes Brushes. To apply your makeup correctly you must use appropriate brushes to blend everything in properly (I sometimes use my fingertips to apply eye shadows)…

What are they for?

I have been testing the video blog for a while now and I think within the next couple days I will be publishing a few videos featuring my daily makeup routine, hair styling and more. I just can’t wait to publish my first vblog. Hope you have enjoyed the ride. Thanks for stopping by. 

Until next time,

XOXO,
