Day to Night makeup.

Since not all of us have the luxury of time, here are some tips to how you can transform your daytime look to night!

– Try to get natural lighting as that’s the best and fluorescent lightings tend to alter the real color on your face and might cause some mistakes here and there.

-Use some eyedrops if your eye is red (especially from sitting in front of the computer) , it’ll reduce redness and make you look fresh!

– Use a brightening concealer, such as the Yves Saint Laurent Touche Éclat to minimize the appearance of wrinkles. Apply it between the brows to highlight and your forehead and apply it on dark circles to make you appear more awake.

– You don’t need to have another layer of foundation, a concealer will work good for imperfections and visible veins.

– Freshen your face by spraying a water spray (such as Evian Mineral Water Spray) and wait for it to dry before applying a light thin layer of loose powder. Doing away without the spray will make you appear cakey.

– Use a darker and more intense colored lipstick for the night. Dark reds and plums will look great! If you’re not comfortable with the intensity, apply a layer, pat your lips with tissue.

– Add some shimmer to your eyelids and blend it till it’s sheer. Shimmer on the browbone and the centre of the lips over lipstick will look good as well.

– Line your eyes with a dark eyeliner and apply a thin layer of eyeshadow on it so it can last through the night.

– Spray your favorite sultry and sexy scent, it’ll bring you out of working mode!

Alright! That’s all I have for today and it’s easier if you have all the products in a makeup bag so it’d be convenient for your transformation.

Stay tuned for the next post!

NYX // CoverGirl

Recently, I bought some stuff off drugstore.com and I’m really stoked about the items I got. I waited for ages and literally screamed and danced with my dog when I saw the package at home. Joy.

In there included 2 CoverGirl products and a NYX one.

{I} NYX blush in the shade, Peach.

Oh my momma, this blush is super pigmented. One tap on it with a finger, you can see a distinct pink and the pink is really pretty too! It’s somewhere between girly and coral-ly, super pleased with this! Pretty sure it’ll be able to last me a long time since I don’t need much of the product each time I use it. Overall rating, 7.5/10!

{II} CoverGirl BB cream in Light-Medium.

I haven’t tried many BB creams my whole life, but the few that I’ve tried gave me too much coverage, and I personally don’t like that because I don’t want to cover up too much.
This was close to perfect! Covered up some mild ugly places and was super natural. It gives a dewy finish at first, but it’ll be matte once your skin absorbs it. This color suits me perfectly and I would definitely buy it again! However I just wished it smelled nicer. Rating 8/10.

{III} CoverGirl professional loose powder in translucent medium.

I have not tried this yet, but it sure does look promising. The shade again, suits me well and there’s quite a lot of product for the price I paid! I’m currently waiting for my e.l.f brushes to arrive and then I’ll be able to try this baby out. There’s a puff provided inside, but it doesn’t smell too good so I’m not keen on using it. Will do an update once I’ve tried the powder!

As you can probably tell, I love CoverGirl products. They’re affordable and of great quality! It’ll be amazing if I manage to get sponsored by them someday.

Also, did any one of you manage to get the 50% off deal on the e.l.f website? I went nuts and bought products worth up to $80. Can’t wait till they arrive and I can show you what I got!

Still then, stay pretty!
