The Next Big Thing!

Powder Lipstick

Yes, powder lipstick is a thing now, and it's amazing! And as far as i'm guessing, it'll be taking over the world in no time!
L'Oreal Paris introduced this amazing powder lipstick AKA Tint Caresse in Asia (only in Malaysia, i guess) a while back and it's a complete hit! Now, L'Oreal will be launching it in the west and other countries pretty soon (hopefully in Pakistan as well), and i can't wait to get my hands on one. It is the FIRST ever powder lipstick in the world.
I haven't used it yet, since it's not available in Pakistan just yet, but in this post i'll be telling you guys about the lipstick and the reviews it's getting.


L'Oreal Paris promises that this lipstick is super blendable and feels like you have nothing on your lips, and believe it or not, this lipstick won't be drying your lips like other matte lipsticks and glosses. Also, it's Kiss-proof!! The color range it had was amazing! and since it's still yet to come in the west, i'm clueless about the colors available there. 


Here are the colors the product is available in Korea and their swatches! I'm so excited for this, seriously! Specially because of it's non-drying and kiss-proof feature. Other matte lipsticks just dries and gives you lip flakes. And if this lipstick is a solution for all your questions, then i'm pretty sure it'll be ruling over the makeup world and will be the new holy grail of makeup artists all over the world, i just can't wait to get my hands on this and try for myself, and when i do, i will be updating on the review for you guys, with its pros and cons. But for you, this is all. I love you all and if you too are excited for this, share it and leave your comments, xoxo.

Starry Night Eyes

Makeup Tutorial.
First of all, Happy New Years ya'll!! This look that i'm doing in this post is inspired by the new year's eve makeup look, it's glittery and perfect for a party. New Years may be gone, but hey, it'll be a year full of events and parties! hope for the best, always.


Things i used: 
for eyes:
- bh cosmetic 88 shimmer eye shadow palette 
- red brown shade from kryolan for my crease
- Rimmel london Wonder'full mascara
- essence white eye pencil
for face:
- Luscious cosmetics contour palette
- Nivea hydration lotion
- body shop primer
- Rimmel lasting finish foundation 
- Rimmel liquid concealer
lips:
- maybeline lipstick in honey beige 

Directions:
This post is mainly about the eyes, so i skipped taking pictures of me doing my face, lips and eyebrows.
You know the drill of applying foundation, i moisturize my skin and applied primer before applying my foundation, because i have extra dry skin and i get patches and fine lines if my skin is not moisturized and primed properly, specially in winters.


So once i'm done with my face, i started with applying the red brown matte eyeshadow on my crease and blending it well towards the outside. I'm using naked 2's blending brush (i guess its naked 1's, i'm not sure) but the bigger the blending brush, the better. Bh cosmetic Sculpt and contour brush set has some good brushes as well that can be used for blending the eye shadow.


Next, you cover the entire eye lid with the blueist shade from your bh cosmetic palette, blending it with the red brown shade on the crease area. Blend it well till you get the smokey effect. Here i'm using a small blending brush.


Apply the blue shade under your eye and blend it using the red brown shade, i'm using a small eye shadow brush for this. also, towards the inner eye, apply pearl shade or silver shade from the bh cosmetic palette. And on your inner eye lid, apply essence eye pencil in white.


Apply glitter fixative over your eye lid and press on the blue glitter. (i'm using a normal glitter that comes in a tiny glass bottle without any brand name, can be found easily at any arts and craft shop)
Apply all over the apple of your eye.


Finish your eyes by applying mascara and fake lashes if looking for a heavier look. 
And there you have it. This look is easy, bold and beautiful. :) I hope you guys like it, and if you do, follow me on insta @ayeshatmua for more makeup pictures and 15 sec video tutorials! I love you all. xoxo
