$11.70

Lancome is known for it’s brilliant mascaras, and this classic formula is absolutely no exception. This is a very wet mascara when applied which i am not usually a fan of. I was hesitant on buying this mascara for a while actually because i heard some bad things about it like clumping, flaking, and is a bit hard to get off. I am posting pictures of an eye without and with this mascara (Plus a bit of eyeliner). Usually wet mascaras mean any curl in my lashes will drop, there will not be any thickening effect and i will end up smudging my eye makeup before it dries.

Primers are essential for long-lasting and flawless makeup, says leading makeup artist lan nguyen-grealis. If you apply it before your day cream or sunscreen, those water-based products cannot penetrate through to reach your skin. However, dimmick advocates for using primer year-round. Our favourite part is the illuminating pearl powders, which brighten the skin for an extra dewy look. My skin has never looked more even, it keeps oil at bay and yet is not drying whatsoever. Once you have got the right formula, apply the primer after your moisturizer. Primers often also have skincare benefits: They can moisturize, provide sun protection, or contain anti-aging and anti-acne ingredients. Many appearance-conscious women have grown accustomed to applying primer, a product said to fill in fine lines and enlarged pores on the skin, before using foundation makeup. You may choose to apply this primer only on the highlight points of the face, and use a different primer (Or forego primer altogether) on other parts of the face. While moisturizer softens skin, editorial and celebrity makeup artist stephen dimmick points out that primer prepares skin for your favorite tinted moisturizer or fo…

The moisturizing formula is especially great for those with dry skin and is infused with blue lotus and chamomile extract to calm and hydrate skin. Therefore, a proper concealer application begins with your skin-care routine. Last but not least, keep in mind that liquid concealers come in various finishes such as matte, dewy, and satin.

$19.50

With almost 9,000 five star reviews on sephora, this lip gloss comes highly recommended. The gloss is very pigmented and i was surprised as to how opaque it was. One of the companies in the forefront of making high quality lipglosses and other products is milani cosmetics. My personal favourite combination is when i use it to top a deep red lip, it just looks absolutely devine! The color selection is very nice, but the chemical taste and smell of these glosses, and the fact that they slide right off your lips and frequent reaplication is necessary make these a bit of a dud. With formulas that reflect like glass and colors that flatter every attitude – milani makes the gloss that is on everyone’s lips. Brown is a natural look for lips, but still offers plenty of high-fashion drama. The highly-reflective formula can be used over lipstick or on it’s own. This is not a gloss that will migrate off your lips. Carefully smooch the lips together to easily apply to upper lip.
