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

Hair Care

Keratin Hair Care.
Dikson's Keratin Action, Shampoo and cream.

I know i'm late on my blog post (always am) but you know i always wait for something worth posting and something that is informative and helpful to you guys! So here it is, Hair care product review. This one's for Keratin treated hair, and also for damaged, dry, rough ones.


My hair are not Keratin treated, but i got these anyway. I wanted to try something new, I'm always trying something new, you guys know that, but when it comes to my hair, i like to stick to my favourite old shampoo (Finesse that is). But this time, i really wanted to buy these and try, and let's be honest, the expensive-looking sleek bottles made me go for it, lol. What's the worst that can happen, right? So anyway, i've been using them and i have to say, i like the results. My hair are not rough, they are more manageable, and healthier. So this was a good decision to get them. But, yes there's a but. They are expensive! each bottle is like PKR 1000 something. (can't remember the exact price, but if someone wanna know message me and i'll check and hit back)


Okay, tell you what, i'm thinking of getting or doing myself a keratin hair treatment, that is if i get the right material, i have been looking for it everywhere but couldn't find it! but i will, and once i get it done, i will be continuing using these two and will be updating you guys on how it works on kertain treated hair. Because so far, i'm very much satisfied with the result. 


The shampoo won't get much foamy or leathery, but they smell as expensive as they are. Unlike other shampoos, it doesn't dry your hair at all, and i may not recommend it for people with oily hair. As my hair are super dry, and frizzy, this shampoo and cream are my two new best friends! People with dry hair can totally trust Dikson's Keratin Action due. Tried and tested, you guys should give this a try! I don't think i have anything else to say, expect that i love you guys and i'm hope you find this review worth reading! xoxo

Halloween Makeup

Half Glam, Half Beaten Up Zombie!
Halloween is just around the corner, with halloween themed parties and dances, and so many different makeup and costume ideas to select from. My half glam half beaten up zombie makeup is very very simple and real looking. Have a look!


Things i used on my glam side:
- Clinique super balanced foundation
- catrice defining blush
- Color Studio lipstick in Wicked 
- Naked 2 eyeshadow (darkest shade)
- golden eyeshadow essence
- aqua color eye liner in black



Things i used on my Zombie side:
- Aqua color in black
- Aqua color in red
- tissue papers
- paint brush in 8

Directions:
Do your glam makeup on half of your face, starting from eye makeup to blushon and covering half of your lips with lipstick.



After you're done with the makeup, start with your zombie eye bruise, from the Naked 2 eye palette use the shade "busted" on your under inner eye part and on your eye crease. You can use your finger to apply the shade on your under inner eye are like in the picture below.


Use red aqua color and apply it on your eye lid and under eye area, mixing it with your busted shade. You can use the color and same technique to make little bruises all over your face.


Next comes your heavily bleeding nose and lips.
For a dry blood effect, use tissue paper, place it where needed to give effect and apply red color, black color in some parts just for the realistic effect.




I used a small upside down triangle shape tissue for my nose and round shape for my lips. I also used eye lash gum to first paste the tissues on the area and later applying the colors on it. Using my fingers i gave it a smokey shade and tiny bruise around my nose finished my look!

Oh the colour! It's exactly what i wanted, YES!! I bought it, right then right there. And wait till you see it, if it won't obsess you, i don't know what will.


Amazing, right? The lipstick is from Color Studio Professionals, The shade is Assassin. 


It may look a bit dull in the above picture, but it looks really fresh on your face, it's also matt, and smooooooth! And the formula is very satisfying, like it's price which is only PKR 750/-

Back To School

What's in her bag?
Makeup Edition: Basics. 

Let's talk about makeup, NO, let's first talk about wearing makeup in summers. We all have to deal with oily skin, lipstick fading away and makeup melting down in sun, don't we? We all run around searching for the perfect foundation and long lasting lipstick that may get us through the day. I have been doing my research all summers, using different foundations and listing down the ones with best results. I have picked out my favorites for you to try, and i assure you, you will love them as much as i do. So let's see what's in my back-to-school bag?


Foundation: Clinique superbalanced liquid foundation. Why's this my favorite? It has a very natural coverage, perfect for daily wear, it's light on the skin and feels like you have nothing on. Sets perfectly, covers dark spots and pimples and don't make them gray. Also, the best part, your face won't be getting oily and sticky if you have this on, my word, it absorbs oil when and where needed and balance out on your face, so you won't have to worry about getting shiny face under sun.

Lipstick: MAC lipstick in brave. Why's this my favorite? first, the color. Second, it's long lasting. The color is truly adorable, it's life saving trust me on this one. It looks natural and the fact that it's matte, makes me fall in love with this lipstick more and more. it brightens your face even on your tiresome days. It's a very natural looking shade of pink. You won't regret buying this one.

Lip stain: revlon colorburst lacquer lip balm - 130 Tease Seductrice. Why's this in my back-to-school bag? It's for those special days when i'm looking for a boost of confidence and fresh looking face. It's peachish shade gets me in the mood and the fact your lips feel a hint of mint when you wear it makes me keep this balm in my bag all the time. 

Mascara: Rimmel London Wonder'full Mascara. Why i love this? My eye lashes are very light and barely even there, this magic wand makes them look heavy and volumized. Also, it has argan oil in it, which is good for the lashes, so wearing mascara everyday won't be hurting you or your lashes anymore. Infact, it's good for them. 

Hair serum: John Frieda Frizz-ease Nourishing oil serum. Why's this in my bag? It saves me from having a bad hair day. I won't recommend this to people with oily hair, but for me and every one who knows the struggle of having dry, frizzy hair, will love what this serum do to your hair. It makes them look silky and manageable. Plus, it comes with Argan oil too! 

 Perfume: Juicy Couture Gold couture. Why.. well, this is my scent, It has to be in my bag. 

Bag: Gifted to me by my better half, Azka Saifullah. <3
