The No-makeup Makeup

Glowing Everyday Makeup Look
With just some regular makeup products you can get your everyday glowing makeup look. If you ask me i prefer matte look more than i prefer shimmery glowing makeup, but in winters a little bit of glow on the face looks picture perfect and gives a fresh feel. And that glow comes from the perfect highlighter and a rosy blush (rosy shimmery blush is the magic product here). This make up look does not require any kind of bronzer, it's a very light and fresh look for everyday routine, perfect for college girls ;)

Before i start with the tutorial let me introduce you to the best highlighter products in town. 

Liquid highlighters are like my favoruite, and the best one is elf. In pressed powder form, one of the very best highlighter that's not mentioned above is Diorskin Nude highlighter and that's like the best thing ever, for fair skin go with pink and light gold and for tan skin a shade darker of rose gold/metallic gold.

Now let's begin with the tutorial, shall we?

So for the products, you'll need:

- Maybelline Dream Liquid Mousse (i have fair skin)

- Mac extra dimension skinfinish Whisper of gilt 

- essence all about CURL mascara

- essence white eye pencil

- essence silky touch blush baby doll

- Bourjois 3D effect lipgloss 07

Step #1

Cover your entire face with Dream Mousse foundation, specially under eye area, create an upside down triangle under the eye and blend, this way your dark circles will be covered perfectly. For the nose, use your finger tip to draw a straight line and blend downwards. On the forehead, cover the area between your eyebrows and the area right above them, blending it upwards to your hair line. 

Step #2

After you're done with your face, do the eyes first, what i did here is i painted my lower lash line with essence white eye pencil and applied mascara, that's it. Though for a fancier look you can apply eyeliner, i skipped it here though.

Step #3

Next comes the Blush and highlighter. Using angled contour brush apply highlighter on the cheek bones, nose, above the eyebrows, a little bit on the chin followed by essence silk touch blush on the cheeks and a bit on chin and under hair line. See the picture for help. Oh and a bit of highlighter above the lips too.

RED: Highlighter

BLUE: blush

Step #4

The lips. Apply Burjois 3D lipgloss on you lips and you're ready!

Here's something to help you.

Enjoy!

Wild smokey eyes

She's a killer from the gang!
One of my beloved summer look is Smokey eyes! They add a bit of sophisticated drama to your look. They are perfect for night parties and dinners, concerts and gala! So let me just share with you, my secret summer look which never goes out of style!

Things you need:

- Essence night club glamour to go eyeshadow 

- Essence i<3extreme crazy volume mascara

- Kryolan aqua color black

- Essence 3D eyeshadow light

- essence shadow applicators by zeena

- Bourjois waterproof blue contour clubbing

- bourjois depuis 1863 blush

- Essence mattifying compact powder

- Bobby Brown blush on brush

- Bobby Brown eye shadow applicators 

- Maybelline Dream liquid mousse

- Mybelline FIT me (optional)

- essence nude colour lipstick

Start with your face!

You can use a brush to apply foundation, i used my hand cause that's the way i like it.

And because its summers, mattifying compact powder is a must for me!

Apply it all over your face.

Next comes the eyes!

Start with the blue shade in essence night club kit.

Apply blue shade in the inner corner of your eyes, covering half the eye lid.

Once it's done, pick a dark blue or purple shade from the kit.

Cover the outer corners of your eyes and make a V shaped corner. Don't forget to blend the dark shade with blue shade.

You've got to be very careful with the V shaped corner!

Once you're done with this, wet your eye shadow brush and apply Kryolan Aqua black color to the outer corner.

Use the dark purple shade again to shade your upper inner eye lid and lower outer lash line. This part is the tricky part.

Make it as darker as you want, remember, its a wild look.

Cover you lower, inner lash line with Bourjois contour clubbing.

Next comes the eye liner and mascara!

I used essence superfine eye liner and essence i<3extreme mascara

For the cheeks!

Bourjois depuis 1863 is my all time favourite blushon! Though for this look you need to apply a very little of it.

For the lips!

essence nude lipstick does the trick for this chic look!

And you're ready to go!

Makeup Tutorial

Get the look!
Golden brown smokey eyes and red lips is just the look i needed for my farewell party! Not because red lips are IN these days, but also because i wanted a completely different look. So this was it!

Things you need:
- Lakme CC cream
- essence mattifying compact powder
- NAKED 2 urban decay
- BOURJOIS golden contour clubbing waterproof eyeliner
- Essence liquid eyeliner
- essence I<3EXTREME mascara
- BOURJOIS paris depuis 1863 41 healthy mix
- color studio drop dead gorgeous 116 lipstick
- essence red gel tint
- essence eye lashes (optional)
BRUSHES I USED:
- essence eyeshadow applicators by zeena
- bobbi brown creme shadow brush

Start with covering your face with Lakme CC cream. 

When you'r done with the base, you can also apply essence mattifying

compact powder if your skin is oily. I skipped this though, because well, i don't need this in winters, but for me, in summers, this is a must!

Start with the eyes, i keep a separate eyeshadow brush for every shade, and essence eyeshadow applicator by zeena are my favorite. 

Cover your complete eye lid with the bootycall shade of naked2. Even the area under your eyebrows.

Cover half of your outer eye lid with the YDK shade and smudge well.

I used bobbi brown creme shadow brush for the smokey effect. Apply the blackout shade to the extreme outer end of your eye lid and smudge it to the middle. Close your eye, place the brush in middle of the crease, open your eye and smudge till the dark shadow is all smooth.

Apply bourjois golden contour clubbing to your inner lower lash line.

For the eyeliner, i used essence liquid eyeliner because of its matte effect, its not waterproof but its smudge-proof.

Once your liner is dry, complete your eye make with applying mascara. I used essence i<3extreme mascara, but again, its not waterproof.

For the cheeks, i used bourjois depuis 1863 41 healthy mix blush on. Make a big pout and apply the blush-on from your temporal tendon to your under cheek definition.

Now, for the lips, the best part, i used color-studio drop dead gorgeous lip stick and then applied essence red gel tint on top of it for a glossy look.

you can use fake eye lashes if you want darker smokey eyes! i used them on my farewell party.

And thats it! You're ready to head out and rock that party!
