Make- up Tutorial: Simple and fast make up for going out!

got some where fancy to go but dont feel like spending hours putting your make up on.... well ive got an easy face for you! lol

this look is easy all you need is a a light and dark shade of the same color, a small shadow brush , liner and mascara for the eyes. concealer and MUFE hd Foundation. blush and lipstick to finish it off.

prob should have fixed the liner....

eyes: first prime lids. apply the lighter shade of the eye shadow to the lids only and packing more on to inner eye lid portion. here i used two mac pigments. then apply darker shade to the outer portion of the eye lid, take this color outside of  the crease a bit. line the upper and lower lid with eyeliner. apply false lashes if preferred and mascara.

face: apply concealer to blemishes under eye area and around mouth. apply foundation to your face. why i love this MUFE foundation is that it gives me great coverage and the application is effortless.

lips: apply a pinkish nude color and your out the door.

this whole look took me about 15 mins to complete from start to end.

final look!

Parveen Babi inspired makeup tutorial

hi.

 Here i have a fun sexy look for you guys. This is a recreation of a Parveen Bibi look. She looks so pretty in this pic that I found and I couldn't wait to try it out on my self. It was pretty easy to recreate and i hope you guys will enjoy it.

what you need:

   nude eye shadow
   warm brown eye shadow
   grey eye shadow
   black eye shadow
   black eye liner (pencil + liquid)
   foundation
   concealer
   mascara
   nude lipstick ( used rimmel addict and nyx goddess)



for the eyes:  first conceal the eye to get an even base, and also apply a primer. then pack on a nude eye shadow all over lid and up to eye brows. next take the brown eye shadow and apply that to the and above the crease area in a back and forth motion. next take the grey eye shadow and apply it to the top lash line area only. sweep it out, this will enhance the wing of your and make your eyes appear larger. now line the bottom lash line with pencil or gel liner with a BRUSH, this will allow control also at this point you will start to draw your wing. with this look i found it easier to draw the wing from the bottom first. now line the top lash line and join the two lines at the wing. apply some black eye shadow on top of the liner to clean up the lines and make them more precise and work the black eye shadow into the the lashes making sure no skin is left exposed.

face: use you favorite foundation that will provide a flawless glow. im using mufe face & body. my complexion isnt as nice as id want it to be however :/ i applied concealer to the under eye area after i did my eye make up. on my cheeks i have in gingerly from mac and nars bronzer in casino. then for a highlight i applied some shimmery gold eye shadow to the tops of my cheek bones and down the bridge on my noes.

lips: nude and pink. i applied a liner addict from rimmel, then i filled in my lips with nyx, goddess lipstick. i applied a tiny bit of nars orchid gloss aswell. to finish the look i dusted elf finishing powder to my t-zone.

not the best pic... this is the final look

A disposable mascara wand

before i start to tell you about some of my favorite lip colors for indian skin tones, its pertinent that i tell that it is key to have moisturized luscious lips first. the best way to do this is by applying chapstick regularly, drinking plenty of water, and exfoliating. when it comes to chapsticks the medicated ones are good, and pretty much its whatever you prefer. the water is a given, keeping hydrated will help with your overall complexion. when it comes to exfoliating you can find plenty of different types in the beauty isle, but ive also posted a DIY lip exfoliator. you can also use a mascara wand, a clean one that has never been used for mascara. you can find disposable mascara applicators found almost anywhere you can buy beauty products. also tooth brushes are handy when it comes to getting smooth, soft lips. just use a circular motion in the morning after or before you brush your teeth. ( i dont recommend using the same brush you use for your teeth for your lips, but i don think it would do any harm otherwise).  so the first step is having soft, moist lips! just like you exfoliate and moisturize your face you gotta do the same for your lips.
