Eye Makeup and Your Fingers

eye makeup and your fingers

Beauty Quickie: Some of the best makeup artists in the world will tell you that a few of your best makeup tools are found right on your own two hands…your fingers. Your fingers can apply makeup in ways that brushes and sponges can’t. However, when applying eye makeup you need to take a gentler approach due to the skin surrounding the eye being very delicate. When applying eye makeup with your fingers it is best to use your ring finger. This is because your ring finger uses less force than the rest of your fingers.

Zoya Ultra PixieDust Fall 2014 Collection

Zoya Ultra PixieDust Fall 2014 Collection

Being the glitter queen that I am I had to do a quick write up in the behalf of Zoya. I just wanted to thank them for understanding my need to sparkle and shine (LOL). Zoya has released a collection of glitter-tastic nail lacquers named Arianna (hey now! I’m Arianne), Oswin and Noir.

The mini collection’s colors fall in the red and plum families. I’m absolutely in love and can’t wait to add them all to my ever-growing nail polish collection. Want to get your hands on the Zoya Ultra PixieDust Fall 2014 Collection as well? Order yours now online by going to zoya.com. Happy painting!

Beauty Tip: Did you know that if you have chipped nails you can easily fix them with glitter? Just add a layer of glitter polish on top and the chipping will be disguised as a chic nail design. Shhhh…no one will know but you!

When Should Mascara and Eyeliner Be Replaced?

when should mascara and eyeliner be replaced2

Beauty Quickie: Mascara and liquid eyeliner should be laid to rest after 3-4 months. Nevertheless, your entire makeup collection should be cleaned out at least once a year to remove any old products. Bacteria could be lurking in older cosmetic products and need to be thrown out. Even if there is some product left in the bottles, tubes or compacts it is better to just say goodbye. Skin irritation or breakouts are just not worth the risk.

Get the Red Lip Without the Intensity

how to get red lipsticks without the intensity

Beauty Quickie: Red lip color is a beauty trend, but many women stay away from it because such a shade can be a little more boisterous than other tints. Therefore, how can you wear red lipstick without all the intensity? One way is to apply the red lip color (make sure it matches your skin’s undertone) then blot it off so that it is more of a lip stain. Another option would be to apply the lipstick with your finger instead of straight from the tube. This way you will be able to control how much product is applied, thus controlling the color as well.

What a Great Skin Cleanser Should Contain

what a great skin cleanser should have in it

Beauty Quickie: When doing your beauty shopping never be afraid to flip over a product to know what exactly is in it. If you want to look your best, you have to use the best. Unfortunately, not all cleansers are created equal and some will give your skin more assistance than others. If you are in the market for a skin cleanser because you are prone to acne then always look for a product that contains benzoyl peroxide or salycilic acid.

Make Your Mascara Last Longer!

Money certainly does not grow on trees, so getting the most out of your products is the goal of every beauty-lista. If you noticed that your mascara is starting to look flaky, chances are this is an old bottle that needs to be pitched. Mascara only flakes if it has dried out too much or is has outlived its shelf life.

To get the most out of your mascara always make sure that you replace the cap back on the bottle tightly. This will prevent any drying out of the product. Moreover, try adding 3 drops of saline solution to your tube of mascara to and mix it around with the wand. The saline can also help to extend the life of your favorite mascara formula.
