Make-Up Gone Bad

There are a few makeup mishaps, that when I see on a day to day basis, well I cringe. This is my opinion. I know I am by no means an expert but these are a few things we should stay away from.

1.  Spider Lashes Syndrome ::

 

 

  This is what happens after continuous strokes of mascara. If you have small eye lashes like mine.  I like to use a primer. Then apply a good mascara.
  Apply the primer to eyelashes. Then place finger on eyelid and lift up . Apply Mascara to  the bottom of your eye lashes and go up. Then apply to all the  entire lashes two or three coats is good.






2. Too Bold::

This is a result of trying a bold color and its just  to much. Choose one bold color either eyes or lips. Not both.

Done right

3. Lipstick Teeth::

I know sometimes we are in a hurry and we need to apply lipstick stat. This takes one second take finger and swipe across teeth. A mirror also works really well!


4.  Sharpie Eyebrows:: 

This also applies to number 3

Stay away from pencils for extra thickness in eye brows use  a powder. If you accidentally apply to much it can be brushed off easier.


5. Wong Foundation Color::

Always ask for help every time you buy foundation. Also blend, blend,blend. I also like to apply a little foundation on my neck as well.


6. Too Much Blush::

Apply a little blush at a time.  If your lighter skin use a light blush, Medium a little deeper pink and so on.

Dollar Store haul

I decided I need to start saving more money. I need to shop smarter. I went to the dollar store the other day for a gift bag and I found store brand makeup! I was surprised I had never looked in the beauty isle before. I thought to myself I would give it a whirl. Here is what I found.


All Maybeline Products.



This is what I purchased. Shadow Stylist

• Trendy blue
• Sleek  Brown 
• Vintage Champagne
• Contemporary White

Limited Edition Eye Shadows

• Copper Diamond
• Turquoise Diamond

Copper Diamond



Turquoise Diamond



Shadow Stylist.

I am not to fond of the Shadow Stylist all though they applied wonderfully on my arm they didn't do the same on my eye lid. It sort of bunched up. I think I would give them to my daughter to play with. 

Rating: *



I did like the Limited edition eye shadow in Copper Diamond, the turquoise did not go well with my skin tone. It doesn't stay on long, but maybe e a good primer would change that.

Rating: ***

This is my own opinion. I purchased these myself. New rating system (see below)
