Makeup Quick Tip!

There's nothing worse than having your mascara smudge all over your eyeshadow... or really anywhere! You know... when you are almost done with your makeup and then when you apply your mascara it gets on your eyeshadow. No matter how professional you are, we have all had that experience! If you don't want to be frustrated anymore with working hard on your eyeshadow and then your mascara ruining it, there is a way to prevent it! And it doesn't even require using any special remover! Only a Q-TIP!

1.) Wait for the mascara smudge to dry. You want it to dry because when you begin rubbing it off, it will smear more... which you don't want!!

2.) When dry, take a Q-TIP and gently rub on the spot with the smudge.

IT'S THAT EASY!!!!

Also, to prevent your mascara from smudging when you apply it, tilt your head back a little. That way the brush won't hit your eyelid.

My New Favorite Mascara!

As you read in my last blog post, I didn't have a favorite mascara at the time.

Now...I'm thrilled to say I do!

It is MAC Studio Fix Lash Mascara.

I love it! It doesn't clump and it gives my lashes volume and length!

Here is the link for you to read more about MAC Studio Fix Lash Mascara and purchase it:

My Favorite Makeup Products

Hey everyone! I know I haven't blogged much yet, but I'm going to try to as much as I can. I decided this blog will be about my favorite makeup products. My favorite makeup brand is MAC Cosmetics. I think their products have great quality & when you go to a MAC store or MAC counter, the makeup artists are very helpful and nice. They really know what works well with different skin tones and what colors looks best on different people. If you are looking for new products, I recommend going to a MAC store/counter and you will be assisted.

Before I tell you about my favorite products, I think I should tell you a little about my skin type and what my "makeup style" is.

My skin is very dry in the winter, but as the weather gets warmer, it begins to get oily.

My "makeup style" on a day-to-day basis is usually just a natural look. Nothing too dramatic, especially while I am at school. (For those of you who want a makeup look for school, hopefully my next blog will be about how to achieve that.)

My favorite products:

EYES:

MAC Bare Study Paint Pot

MAC Naked Lunch Eyeshadow

MAC Cork Eyeshadow

MAC Pink Freeze Eyeshadow

MAC Blitz & Glitz Fluidline

LIPS:

MAC Oyster Girl Lipglass

MAC She's A Star Lipglass

MAC Viva Glam VI Lipglass

MAC Viva Glam Gaga (Every cent raised through the purchase of VIVA GLAM Gaga goes to the MAC AIDS Fund to support the fight against HIV/AIDS.)

MAC Lip Conditioner Hydrant (Tube)

Skin:

MAC Select Cover-Up (My shade is NW20)

MAC Studio Finish Concealer SPF 35 (My shade is NW20)

*Since my skin gets oily throughout the day, I always use Clean&Clear Oil Absorbing Sheets. They are amazing!! They instantly remove excess oil without smudging makeup.

*I didn't list my favorite mascara because I haven't found one yet that I love. Right now I am using Maybelline Lash Stiletto Voluptuous. It is defiantly better than some of the previous mascaras I used to use, but I'm still on the search for an even better one!
