Skincare
I am really not the one to advice people on skincare. I am not a dermatologist or an aesthetician. I have problematic skin myself. I am just going to list what I use for my skin. But please note that everyone’s skin is different, people may be allergic or sensitive to certain ingredients and everyone’s … Continue reading
Mascara
Today I am going to review some mascara that I used. I want to start off by saying that I don’t think mascara is an item for which you need to spend a ton of money on. Any inexpensive mascara can give you good results if you know how to apply it. I feel that … Continue reading

I personally use a clear lipliner everyday and like it very much. However, I really like to put an effort for special occasions and my colourful lipliners come … Continue reading
Eye Primer
Eye primers are GREAT investments when it comes to making up your eyes. Eye primers enhance the colour of your eyeshadow, prevent eyeshadow from creasing and make it last longer. I would never wear eyeshadow without an eye primer underneath. Because eye makeup usually takes the most time – it is not worth it without … Continue reading
Highlight Brush
Contouring and highlighting gives some dimension to the face. Contouring goes on any places that are behind from the plane of the face or are shadowed. Highlighting goes on the place that comes forward from the face. Such as the cheek bones, bridge of the nose, the brow bones, forehead and chin. I like to … Continue reading
Contour Brush
Contour goes on the hollow of the cheekbones and sides of the nose. Find your cheekbones with your finger. The hollow is right under it. I also like to contour my jaw line and side of my temples to give myself a slimmer look. I personally use bronzer to contour. If you like to stay … Continue reading
