Secret to using make up to make your teeth look whiter. Make up artist trick.

There is a very simple trick to make your teeth look whiter.


 Firstly use some fake tan for the face to face and neck. Instantly your teeth will look much whiter. Secondly use a whitening toothpaste such as Pearl drops to make teeth appear whiter immediately even if there does not appear to be any long term effects. Finally stay away from very pale or red lipstick and only use strong picks or close to the natural lip colour. These three simple things are what make up artists do all the time for clients who have a yellow tinge to their teeth.

mac face and body coverage

Today I used Mac face and body as a foundation for the first time. I have used studio fix but not this one because I didn't think it would be good enough coverage when I had acne. Now my acne is gone I only need the foundation to even out skin tone and cover freckles of different pigments. I decided to buff in the foundation and then build up the foundation to get the extra coverage. Sadly this did not work for me. My skin had pigments that are so uneven that they could not be covered and I just looked like I was wearing no make up at all but in a bad way. I have used this on a client today who insisted that I bring this product for her. It worked very well on her skin as she has perfect skin to begin with. It gave her a beautiful sheen that looked so glowy and healthy. Anyone with any skin problems or imperfections should avoid this as it really is just a sheer foundation that in my opinion can not be built up in coverage.

What made my skin have a complete break out in spots.


 I was using for a while Revlon for Normal skin so I decided to purchase a new Revlon foundation as my last one was completely used up. My skin tends to be more Oily so I thought it would be better for me if I used one for Oily/Combination skin. Yesterday I put it on my face and buffed it very well into it. My make up lasted very well all day long but I found my skin feeling very tight towards the end of the day. When I washed it off last night, I seen several spots on my face and when I woke up this morning, there were even more. 

I never had this experience with the other foundation so I think I would just repurchase the Normal foundation even though my skin is Oily/Combination. The Oily/Combination feels heavier in comparison to the Normal skin one. Also the Oily/Combination foundation is a lighter colour even though it is the same shade as the normal one.

Does the lemon trick really work on freckles?

I decided to see if the lemon trick really works at getting rid of freckles. I seen instruction online telling people to use it on your skin and don't wash it off or mix it with sugar. I tried the lemon trick for a week and I didn't notice any difference in my freckles. I don't think lemon juice can lighten the skin because it needs something to activate it. For example if you want to lighten your hair you would need lemon juice as well as to go out in the sun. At least I can say I tried and it did not cost too much money but this definitely did not work for me.

The best way to remove eye make up on a low budget_Nivea eye make up remover

The best way to remove eye make up is to soak cotton pads in the remover. Hold the cotton pad for a few seconds on the eye and then put the other one underneath and gently slide downwards.Usually I will use cheaper eye make up so that I can really soak the cotton pads.I have noticed that my eyelashes go quite weak if I do not get every bit of mascara off. Therefore I usually use Nivea make up remover because it is only about 4 euro a bottle. I go through a lot of bottles of this. However I make the exception If I am doing someone else's make up as this can leave the eyes a little red. If I was working I would use a more expensive brand.










Latest L'Oreal perfection primer

This morning i tried the new L'Oreal skin perfecter primer. It has a similar texture to the Smashbox primer's than to the other L'Oreal primers. While I love most things L'Oreal, I am actually not a big fan of their primers. The Lumi primer looks white under my foundation and I don't like when primers come in pots. This primer is completely different to their other ones in that it is in a pump. I really liked the packaging. The product itself seems like it does the job.My make up has stayed in place despite being out in the rain and clammy weather. The only negatives are it is expensive for a L'Oreal product but a lot of places are doing a 40% discount on this new collection to help launch it. A lot of the products in this new line are over 20 euros at full price. The other thing I dislike is that it has a smell that I personally don't really like.

But Overall its a 4/5 product

Ultimate nail varnish remover- L'Onglex

I was one of those people that never gave much thoughts to nail varnish remover. Usually I would just pick up one that wasn't too cheap or too expensive. I always hated using nail varnish remover because it was so much hassle trying to get a base coat,2 coats of polish and a top coat off. It was only by chance that I was in a rush and urgently needed a nail varnish remover and i ended up picking up one because there was no other nail varnish removers there. I am so glad it happened as I was pleasantly surprised. The nail varnish just lifted off the nail with ease. It dosen't smell as harsh as some other removers and best of all the nail varnish remover does not damage the nail.It is unusual for an acetone free remover to be able to remove nail varnish so easily. Also this product is free from animal cruelty. If you try this remover you will never use any other nail polish remover again.
I buy mine from a local small pharmacy. I know it is not available in a lot of chemists for more info http://www.longlex.com/.
