Coloured Raine Flawless Perfecting Sponge -Affordable AND Effective!
Sorry y’all but twenty dollar makeup sponges have left that chat! Spending more than ten bucks on a beauty sponge is so last year. So then, what’s the new wave? Investing in sponges that give you the same flawless makeup application WITHOUT the cost. One option you need to try ASAP is the Coloured Raine Flawless Perfecting Sponge!
Coloured Raine Flawless Perfecting Sponge -Affordable AND Effective
To brush or to sponge, that is the real question. When it comes to applying a foundation or other products many choose to utilize one of two beauty tools in order to achieve a pro level finish. A brush or a sponge.
Sponges for awhile have been reigning supreme because of their abilities to conform well to the face. Many sponge designs are now being shaped to effortlessly move makeup into hard to manuveur areas such as the corner of eyes, undereye area and sides of the nose.
Sponges are also great tools because they can evenly distribute and blend the perfect amount of cream, liquid formulas and powder into skin without any lines. However, one common complaint that has been growing among sponge users is the price.
Enter Coloured Raine’s Flawless Perfecting Sponge. It will have the same capabilities and attributes of the best-seller makeup sponges currently on the market; just for one third of the price.
Coloured Raine’s sponge will retail for only $6! Plus, it promises to be super soft, latex free as well as cruelty free. So then, just wins all around the board. Get yours when it drops exclusively online at www.colouredraine.com.

Concealer Gone Wild-Application Tips for Flawless Under Eyes
Beauty Tip: How To Apply Concealer
At times makeup can be a little challenging, but with a little know how as well as practice you can be good to go. Concealer is the perfect product if you are concerned about lessening the appearance of under eye circles and/or bags. Therefore, when Saturday morning rolls around after a fun Friday night you will have no fear facing our dear friend the bathroom mirror.
Nevertheless, we are well aware that it’s not always a night out that may have us reaching for some beauty camouflage. Naturally, many women deal with under eye issues, making learning proper application essential. Moreover, concealer is one of the trickier products because applying too much runs the risk of it instantly showing in photos due to flash lighting or even worse giving off a caked on vibe. Both of which are not very cute beauty looks. Therefore, is there a fool proof method for applying concealer?
How to Apply Concealer
Yes ladies there is: Stare straight ahead in the mirror when applying concealer to cover dark circles. If you look up you will apply way too much. Also, apply the product in the shape of a triangle; with the base underneath the eye and the point going towards the cheek.
Applying it this way creates what’s known as the “triangle of light.” You are able to brighten under the eye; thus reducing the appearance of dark circles. All while you also give your cheek area a little lift. Simple right?
Well, that is our little tricks for a flawless concealer application. How do you conquer dark circles?

Beauty Quickie: Best Dark Circle Concealer Tip- Use a Darker Shade
Beauty Quickie: Does it seem like your puffy eyes are thicker than a snicker? Fixing tired eyes to many may seem like a simple solution. For instance, many would say to simply get more beauty rest or slap on some concealer. While both fixes are noble, nevertheless, would you consider trying out a makeup tip that seems kind of unorthodox but the results can be beyond amazing? Well, just hear us out with today’s Beauty Quickie: Best Dark Circle Concealer Tip- Use a Darker Shade?
Best Dark Circle Concealer Tip- Use a Darker Shade
How do you normally apply concealer? For must of us, we pat or slide on one shade of concealer that extends from one end to the other end of our entire under eye area. However, our celebrity makeup professional friends say that to really make dark circles disappear it is recommended to use two different tones. A lighter shade as well as darker shade.
Use the lighter shade to highlight the crease (the area right where you feel bone beginning under your eye) and apply a slightly darker shade of foundation to the dark circle area itself. Remember dark colors help to disguise and minimize, while lighter colors highlight and pronounce areas.
Think this method doesn’t work? True or false, do most consider black or white to be a more slimming color? Right, the darker color is known for being able to create a slimming effect. This same principle applies with makeup. Therefore, use a darker shade along with your concealer and watch your dark circles disappear.
