Hey !
So I'm going to get straight into this . Today I wanted to talk about skincare , because a lot of people go through skin breakouts ~ and they don't know what to do with their skin , or how to make sure it doesn't happen again. Of course , everyone goes through a phase like this , if you don't , I'm jealous ;-)
1. My number one tip is don't wear foundation or concealer if you don't need to . Both of those things are used to cover spots etc . If you use them all the time it can cause wrinkles in your skin , which you don't want .
Also , a quick tip from me ~ I like to apply a thin layer of cream ( olay) on my face before I apply foundation. That way the foundation isn't directly on my skin , therefore the chances of an allergic reaction are minimal .
2. I'm sure I'm not the only one who HATES dry scaly skin . To ensure that you never get dry skin always put cream on all areas of your body . Usually , during winter , we have to put even more cream on than we did in summer , because the cold winter air dries our skin a lot quicker than the hot summer air .
My number one tip for this is to apply cream just after you have finished your bath/shower .The water would have softened your skin , therefore making it easier for the cream to sink in ! The number one cream I would use is the Johnson Body Cream with Shea Butter . It honestly makes you feel like magic !
3. This one is very important & your bound to have heard about it . It is ....never wear make-up to sleep ! If you do , you may develop a lot of wrinkles , or spots ~ which you really don't want !
If you're incredibly tired & don't want to spend much time on removing your make-up , then try applying a thin layer of cream ( again , olay !) After that get a wipe and rub all the cream off your face . The wipe & cream will remove majority of your make-up & then all you need to do is to wipe off any left over eyeliner (or something like that!)
4. This is another obvious one , drink water ! Water keeps your skin looking great & healthy . My personal favourites are Evian , I'm joking , any water is fine , after all ~ water is water , right?
Tips ?Well apart from drinking water , it's often good to just splash some on your face maybe 2-3 times a day . Whatever you do , DO NOT over wash your face . Our face has a lot of natural fluids , this often makes our face look oily ~ however when you over wash your face , the fluids on your face are removed , which exposes your skin to all the toxic air etc . The fluids, actually protect your skin , however you shouldn't leave it there to make your skin look oily , just be cautious whilst washing your face .
5. Face Masks & Body Lotions ! Recently I got a coupon for The Body Shop, I bought the lovely Early Harvested Raspberry Body Lotion , and two of their lovely face masks ! Body Lotions make your skin super soft & if you have one that smells nice , well... even better !! Face Masks make your face feel fresh and alive ,and they get rid of all those horrid blackheads in a really relaxing way ! Body Butter ( Those cute little tubs in white ribbon !) makes your skin soft as well , except you don't apply it in the bath ! It's great to apply when you wake up , or just before you go to sleep !
6. My final mention is of course the nspa lip shines . These always make you're lips moist ( I really hate that word !) Let's think of another word to describe that.... nope ...nothing ! Oh well, these lip shines smell great and add a slight gloss to your lips , whilst keeping your lips lovely and soft ! Its great to just apply them before you sleep , or when you wake up - just to keep your lips feeling great!
Those are my top tips on skin care , now I'm going to show you a quick make-up tutorial , using my favourite skincare products!
•So, start of with washing your face , this will make you feel fresh !
•Then , apply a thin layer of 'Olay Essentials :Double Action Nourishing & Protecting Sensitive Day Cream ' . Merge it into you face , and make sure its not showing anywhere on your face .
• Then (if you need to !) Put some foundation on all the spots and red areas . The foundation I used is the Max Factor Ageless Elixir , in the colour Light Ivory , number 40 . Blend that in , with a brush ( mine was from the dirty works set !)
•Then add concealer (if you need to !) The best way to apply this is to put it under your eye in a slight triangle shape .The concealer I used was the Mastertouch Under eye Concealer , in the colour Fair - number 306.
• Then add a small amount of blusher . I don't know the brand of the blusher I used , but it was in the colour almond , number four ( basically just get an almond coloured blush !) A tip to apply blusher is to suck your cheeks in , and apply it to the area around the ' sucked cheek ' .
• You are then going to get the Natural Shadow & Primer Glow Palette 2 from Barry M. I'm now going to name each shade (Look at the photo)to make things easier (as I am very bad at explaining ! ;-) ) Starting with the lighter shade on the left :
Pale : Were Wolf : Brick :Shimmer :Chestnut : Dark Wood : Glaze ( I have no clue where that came from! )
So you start off with Shimmer , and apply that to the area of your eyelid closest to the nose ( See ? Very bad at explaining !) Keep that shade until you have covered around about a third of your eyelid , and then switch to Chestnut . Carry on with Chestnut for another third of your eyelid & then switch to Dark Wood (Which you carry on till the end of your eyelid ~ in an upwards angle) You then merge it together with a brush or your finger ( your choice !)You then do the same with the other eye .
•Then get your Metallic Liquid Liner from Barry M , and just apply a very simple line to your upper lash line (is that right!?)
•After that , you just apply the Show Girl Extra Volume Mascara from Barry M (Just two blinks and a shimmy ! ;-) )
• To end our Skin Friendly Product Look, you're just going to apply two coats of Lancome :Juicy Tubes lip gloss ( I don't know what number - just a light pink !) And Voila ! The look is,finished !
•Then , apply a thin layer of 'Olay Essentials :Double Action Nourishing & Protecting Sensitive Day Cream ' . Merge it into you face , and make sure its not showing anywhere on your face .
• Then (if you need to !) Put some foundation on all the spots and red areas . The foundation I used is the Max Factor Ageless Elixir , in the colour Light Ivory , number 40 . Blend that in , with a brush ( mine was from the dirty works set !)
