Tips and Tricks for a Cake-Free Summer Glow!

Image
Now that the weather is humid and hot, our skin is heating up, our oil is pumping up and our sweat glands are activated to the max. I know we all want that fresh long-lasting and healthy-looking base makeup so I'm going to be sharing some helpful tips and tricks that no one else tells you.  For a summer proof, humidity-proof, sweat-proof makeup it's so easy for us to fall into the trap of overdoing matte we pack a mattifying primer, matte foundation, matte concealer, matte powder, and matte setting spray but this might be a big mistake that makes your skin and makeup even cakier and your skin oilier. It also obsessed the balance of our oil to water ratio on the skin making your skin more dehydrated so let's #pressreset on base and see what to do in spending. Tip # 01: Create a Well Hydrated Canvas I asked a couple of makeup artists and chemists to share their tips and tricks to create that flawless base makeup for summertime and they all came back with one common answer, h...

Top All-Day Lipsticks from Drugstore

Image
Finding the ideal lipstick isn't always easy. There are so many different shades, formulas, and textures to choose from that it can feel overwhelming. To make the process easier, here are some of the best all-day lipsticks from drugstores. This article will give you a comprehensive list of all the top-rated lipsticks to wear! These lipsticks have been tested for comfort, wearability, and color payoff. Some are matte, some are glossy - but they're all awesome! 1. Maybelline 24-hour Superstay Liquid Lipstick: It's a two-step procedure. You should apply the long-wear lipstick first, then a moisturizing balm on top. It costs $8.98 and comes in a variety of colors to pick from. "Firmly mauve" was my choice, and it's a great fall shade. This even includes a doe-foot applicator. The liquid lipstick should be applied first. When it came to application, the formula was extremely light, opaque, and simple to work with. After that, you must wait 2 minutes for the mois...

Best Highlighters for Fair Skin

Image
Looking for a skin-brightening makeup product? Go for a highlighter. Those who have light skin tones can find it difficult to find highlighters that suit their color. However, there are a number of brands that make products specifically designed for fair skin tones to give you a healthy glow. Check out these easy-to-use products to decide which one will be best for your needs. So, when I’m describing these highlighters, you will hear me reference them by satin which gives a really nice natural glow. Next, we have a metallic which gives a very bold and pigmented highlighter look kind of like that Insta glow vibe and next we have glossy which doesn't have a lot of pigment but gives a beautiful wet look finish. Let's get down to business with the highlighters now that that's out of the way. 1. FENTY BEAUTY BY RIHANNA Killawatt Freestyle Highlighter: I have this highlighter in the shade of lightning dust and fire crystal. This highlighter has two types of finishes that are s...

Best Drugstore Concealers For Under-Eye Dark Circles

Image
Since I started wearing masks, I've been skipping foundation more and more, but I've been more into concealer. Because talking about concealer offers two benefits, I choose to talk about concealer for the under-eye area. If the goal is to use it under the eyes, it can also be used as a foundation, so you can use it in the center of your face.  So, when it comes to concealer for under eye area, I want something hydrating not drying because our under-eye area skin is the thinnest part of our face so if you put too much product on top of it or two mattifying products it is more likely to crease and look cakey so, we all want to make sure that it looks very natural. I don't try to cover my under-eye area 100% because I know that it is impossible and if I put too much product to cover my skin it’s gonna be too dry and it's gonna create more wrinkles so I don't want that I would rather cover 70% or 80% of my dark under-eye area. I always put a corrector first before I ap...

Best Drugstore Nude Lipsticks Under $10

Image
Nude lipsticks are quite difficult to come by, especially good drugstore versions under ten dollars. They're usually too dark, too brown, too pink, or make you seem like a ghost because they perfectly match your skin tone, which isn't very appealing. We've rounded up some of the best nude lipstick from drugstore under $10. 1. COVERGIRL Exhibitionist Lipstick Cream: This lipstick costs $5.47. This is a pale pink nude with a gleaming sheen. It's really creamy, has a lot of color payoff, doesn't smear or slide about, and has the perfect amount of satiny sheen.  This generally lasts the entire day on me and fades evenly. I feel compelled to describe the scent of each of these formulations; this smells waxy with a tinge of vanilla sweetness, similar to cake batter or frosting. This fragrance gets a 4 out of 10 from me. Buy Now 2. L’Oréal Paris Color Riche Lip color: This lip color costs $5.39. This has a lovely gold package with a medium pink nude with a slight...

Best Drugstore Liquid Eyeliners - Tested and Ranked

Image
I thought I knew what the perfect drugstore liquid eyeliner was for years, there was only one I mentioned or even recommended. Over the last several days, I've discovered that I've been overly loyal to the point of oblivion and that I haven't given other possibilities a fair chance, that ends now. I've been testing five of the most popular and top-rated drugstore liquid eyeliners side by side for the past week, and I'm going to talk about how they fared in comparison to one another, and then I'll rank them from worst to best. 1. NYX Matte Liquid Liner: For years, this has been my go-to liner, and I haven't found anything finer at any drugstore. It has a precision brush tip that I love for making a winged liner, and it's long-lasting and smudge-proof. It's not waterproof, but I've found it to be fairly water-resistant in practice, which means it won't come off or run if you get a small amount of water or sweat on it. It's probably my mo...

Best Liquid Concealer for Oily, Acne-Prone, Dry & Sensitive Skin

Image
When choosing a concealer, we tend to focus on choosing the right color without considering the skin type or the ingredients or formulae in the concealer.  However, wearing the wrong concealer might make your skin's problems worse or even chapped, so it's important to think about your skin type, ingredients, and concealer formulations. I have medium to dry skin so, to find a concealer that suits each skin type, I asked 3 friends with acne-prone, oily, and sensitive skin to test them and they kindly tested them and introduced me to good products. So, while I am confident in my recommendations, please keep in mind that everyone's skin is different and everyone's skin issues are different, so consider that as well. Before looking at product recommendations, let’s take a look at the ingredients and formulations of concealer that you should look for.  For Oily Skin You don't want products with an oily finish or that make your skin seem glossy. If you have oily skin, loo...

Best Drugstore Affordable Eye Creams

Nobody wants to look older than they are. Wrinkles are inevitable, but there are effective ways to fight the signs of aging. With a good eye cream, you can reduce the appearance of wrinkles and dark circles while plumping fine lines. But how do you know which the best affordable eye creams are?  Don’t worry! We are going to be talking all about eye creams as I feel pretty strongly about them as I am obsessed with quality skin-care products that actually work and are affordable so before you go out and buy an eye cream read this blog.  Here's the deal: because the skin surrounding our eyes is so thin, it naturally exhibits the earliest indications of aging, such as tiny wrinkles, a crepey paper-like texture, and dark circles, or you may just notice a weary appearance to your eyes. First, you need to understand that eye creams are designed to treat four main problems so I consider eye creams to exist in one of four separate categories: 1. General hydration of the skin around ...

The topic of today's blog post is a teen skincare routine. Remember when we were younger and our skin was baby-soft and clear, then BAM! High school begins with raging hormones, and our faces are suddenly covered in these strange little juicy lumps. Oh...acne! We're probably all baffled and unsure what to do with it, and how to get it back to normal. Am I using too many products? What do I actually need? Why does my face sting? Do I need to exfoliate?
