FLAWLESS FACE!

  Hey people, for a few days I've wanted to show you  my foundation routine. Well i finally wrote the post. Now this foundation routine has been the routine for about 3 years now. Everywhere I go, people do compliment that my face looks very fresh. So I thought I should share it with you pretty gals out there.:)

First thing first. MAKE SURE YOU MOISTURIZE YOUR FACE..



NEXT STEP: PRIMER!!!!

The first primer is the Rimmel ''Fix and Perfect''.

Its tinted but it doesnt show up on skin.

     The next is a high end primer. Its the Fresh face primer. Yes this is the picture of the sample. Its Amazing!!! I love it, but it is very expensive so I suggest if u have a budget then go with the drug store brand.
     Priming is a very important step. Primers create a barrier between your skin and the Foundation so your skin has a layer so the foundation can go on smoothly.. Primer makes a huge difference for a flawless face..
  So I recommend you to not skip this step. There are other great primers out there. But these are the ones i use..


NEXT: FOUNDATION!!!:)

      The Foundation I use is Neutrogena Skin clearing Foundation. Its oil-free. Its great for people with acne prone skin. My skin is not Acne prone. But this also great for people with combination skin. Which i have. This foundation is AMAZING!!!! I highly recommend it , but if you have dry skin, this is not the one for you. Then for you i recommend BB Creams or Tinted Moisturizers. because most foundations can turn out splotchy! This foundation is heavy coverage and It really does clear you skin of pimples. Since I have been using this I have no pimple problem as much as I did before. this basically clears you skin on the go. If dont want to wear foundation and do have a pimple. put a lil bit on the pimple and go. It will reduce down. But do not forget the last post DIY because that makes it quicker and easier for the pimple to disapper.

HOW TO:
     I apply dots of foundation on my face. One in the middle of my forehead, two on the sides, two on cheeks add more if needed. One on the nose and chin. 2 Tiny dots on the sides of my lips. Jawline neck and chest where ever you need. Using the stippling brush. Blend from the middle of your face then outwards, because it should not be visible neaer your hair. This includes the eye brows. This is a full coverage foundation so it my night routine for going out.
   For the day I like less coverage. So i like to take a just a little on my hand and add any SPF lotion and apply it with my fingers:)

For brushes. Luscious Cosmetics have great face brushes too. I had one. My sister stole it. :P


NEXT STEP: CONCEALER

   Most prefer to put concealer on before foundation. I like to apply it after my foundation.

 I absolutely LOVE my  two favorite concealers.

FIRST is the CK creme concealer in the shade 205 Bare. Im more then half way through with it. It blends so nicely and is the perfect color.

Second is the Nyx cosmetics Concealer. This is really nice too. I just got it a month ago and I love this as well. It is the Above and beyond full coverage concealer in the shade CJ02 Fair.

I HAVE NO IDEA WHY ITS TURNING OUT YELLOW IN THE PICTURE BUT ITS REALLY A PINK TONE.

I HIGHLY RECOMMEND THIS!.

HOW TO: Honestly Just apply where ever you think is necessary. I will do a tutorial on how to cover under eye circles with it.. I apply it with my small bobbi brown brush and blend with my finger.

NEXT: POWDER

I love the covergirl clean compact powder for setting my makeup. 

I use a big fluffy brush..

My shade is 125 buff beigh

It seems darker in the pic but its actually not.

HOW TO: I tap the side of  my brush in it and tap out the excess so it doesnt cake my face. 

 i just roll the brush on my T-Zone and cheeks and chin and above my lips and any where needed. Then just sweep it outwards holding the brush a little bit lower the black part.It just needs to absorb the oil  on my face..

LAST STEP: ROSE WATER!!

Make rose water your BEST FRIEND! I love Love rose water. I use it daily. Everytime after I wash my face. I LOVE THE Saeed Ghani one. Any will work though. I have been using this since 5 years now.

 But This last step is to set the makeup so it does not cake! My beautiful mom gave me this tip. 

HOW TO:

Spray it from a little bit further then your face. You dont want to much on your face or it will wipe off the makeup. Just a spritz. then take a tissue and pat it on your face and neck. and VOILA!! Your done!!!

Your makeup is now flawless.:)

NOTE!!

If you want to apply blush and highlighter or bronzer, I suggest to do this after powdering.

ZITS!!!

     Ok people:) First of all I do apologize for not writing in a long time, but the problem was my smart phone and laptop stopped working together!:( so I had no way to post at all.. I felt  like I was living in the Stone Age :P
  
     But im BACK!! :D YAY!!!;) ok today's topic is zits or blemishes or whatever you want to call those pesky little annoying things.:( Its Hot here!! extremely hot and humaid.. I absolutley hate this weather.It makes me breakout and my hair gets disgusting n I shower three times a day:P dont worry i only wash my hair once a day..But anyways lets get back to zits.
  
  Ok making zits go away is a pain.. Waiting is useless for me atleast.. So I had to try this remedy and since I started doing this. Break outs are no more issues for me:).. I have been doing this for 2 -3 years now, and it works great!!!!
   
  First of all, You will need a Zit:P 

Next You will need Honey:)

Preferably the one with a cute bear on it:) It just makes it so much more fun..

Now honey has a cure for everything except death. It says so in the Holy Quran, and I love honey!! Honey is great for weight loss. It is great substitute for sugar and is far more healty and its just an amazing thing..

Its great for your hair growth.Its also a great moisturizer and it has alot more benefits then you can ever think about..

    Now I use on my skin alot. I even put it in my eyes if I have an infection or anything.. It burns slightly but is bearable.. Because I do wear contact lens I know the irritation so it doesnt bother me much. Ok so back on the ZIT!!.. Firstly wash your hand. make sure your hands are clean, then apply the honey on the zit. The best way to do this is over night..

now comes the bandage, because you will need something to cover it. Cover the Zit and leave it over night. Make sure to wash your face also before doing this, and in the morning.. By morning voila! the zit will be gone..Now guys depending on the size of the zit. If it is large it might take a day or two. So dont stress IT will be gone and no marks left either:)...

  So try this out and tell me how it works for You:)

Colored Mascara!!!!!

Now I know Im a little late on the colored mascara trend  but hey what can I do? I wanted to tell u guys that I love this trend.. Its so bold and beautiful and I just love everything about it..:) 

When Pat Mcgrath had done the Cobalt Blue Mascara look in Stella Mccartney's show.. I went on a hunt for the same or similar Vibrant blue mascara.. Now I didnt know about the limited edition ones that Maybelline had brougth out so I had to search and search!! but guess what!! I found it!! and I absolutely love it!:)
Pat Mcgrath is my idol, I had to try this look out when I saw she created it

It makes all eye colors POP!! and its not easy to make my Dark brown eyes pop! 

So this is my version of it!!

Now, in my version of it. I Dabbed just a tiny bit of white shimmery or champagne color eye shadow in the middle of my lid and spread it out just with my finger and in the inner corner of my eye.. just for a little extra sparkle...:) 

The Mascara i used was

 It is the Golden Rose style Mascra in Blue volume:)

Do u see how Vibrant it is!!:) i just love it!!!!

You can just wear it on its own with no other color on You're face.. Like in the Stella Mccartney's show

OR You can also add just abit of rosey lips with it. The contrast gives an extra pop to your Lashes.. I love adding the rosey lips, it looks beautiful with this look.. 

 I like some these the best..The first it the Fresh Sugar Rose tinted lip balm. Its on the higher end side but it has a great tint and its extremely buttery..

 The one on the top is Maybelline Color Sensational Lipstick in Very Cherry. You can use it as regular lipstick for a dramatic look, or u can make a kissy face and dab it on your lips and spread it with your finger.. it gives the same tint as Fresh Sugar Rose Lip balm.

The Third is the Vaseline lip therapy in Rosy Lips.. This is also a tinted lip balm.

The last but not least is Bene tint from Benefit Cosmetics, I love the stained lips look.  It looks great on its own too for every day look...

Well thats pretty much it..  Its Bold beautiful and quick With just a few products:) Try it out and Tell me how you guys like it:)..

It may look scary at first to wear this look. But try it out. Its a very fun look..

 Tell me what your thoughts are on it:)
