MAKEUP


Hello,

Today ‘s post is dedicated to those who love makeup and are interested in the latest trends in the beauty world, I got an invitation regarding a master class hosted by Giorgio Armani Regional Makeup Artist Raja Daniel … since am a great fan of Giorgio Armani cosmetics I thought not to miss it!

The makeup Artist shared great tips on how to apply makeup for both daily and special occasions , he was very much focused on how to use makeup to highlight your beauty rather than transform or hide your features.

I personally , see makeup as a tool to highlight your beauty features believing that every woman owns her unique kind of beauty , its just that some arn’t yet aware  , and don’t know how to present it.

The special thing about GA Cosmetic products , I find that all their products are set to high quality and claim what it states!

The products that I use so far are the under eye master corrector #2 , a bit orangy , I use it instead of a concealer as I see it more natural  , and the sheer bronzer (sun fabric)  #400 , gives a sun kissed  look ,and finally their glowy sheer foundation which I only use in special occasions but does what it claims .

As much as I love makeup , but I care more about my skincare , so I try not to put much, drink water as  much to keep hydrated …and why not ? Believing in that “less is more”

Here are some snapshots from the event that happened to be at the Four Seasons Hotel,Kuwait :

Today I will be sharing my feedback on those 2 primers , again my feedback is a personal one which means that what I have experienced may not reflect yours … but from time to time I enjoy sharing my experience to help people who are always in search of the best products out there …

Here you go :

  • Primer 1  is Smashbox (PHOTO FINISH) PURPLE :

I loved this product put it on after the moisturiser, give it a 10 min to dry up then put whatever you want baby cream or a foundation  or wear it alone , it basically does what it claims:

  1. Reduces the appearance of pores instantly
  2. Non drying formula
  3. Absorbs oil  and keeps makeup on up to 8 hours
  4. Gives a flawless feel and look

My Rating : 9/10

 

Primer 2 is Benefit (The POREfessional ) Green :

This product was okay , it doesn’t do the job fully , although it gives you a  beautiful feel on your skin , but the  appearance of pores somehow shows , here what I noticed about this product :

  1. Lightweight
  2. Velvet feeling on the skin
  3. Translucent
  4. Amazing scent

My Rating : 7/10

 

 

*Friendly Reminder : This review reflects my personal experience and the products reaction with my skin tone (Fair , combination skin)and texture. It may reflect you and it may not, just a friendly share! Hope I helped anyone out there searching for the perfect primer 😉

Yours sincerely,

kiehls review

Its been a few month now since I have tried this night serum , it was my first ever product from Kiehl’s , sure I have heard a lot about this brand , but I wasn’t aware of how beneficial its products are … so let me tell you my feedback on this  miracle , how many of us don’t sleep enough , that you wake up in the morning have a tired look , this product did the job! it made me look as if I had the best night sleep !

My personal feedback  on the product:

Pros :

  • Suits all skin type
  •  It has a lavender scent, very relaxing
  •  Luminous skin in the morning
  • Heals the acne scars
  • It lasts almost 3 month

 

Cons :

  • Not an anti-aging product
  • The scent is strong and somehow discomforts the eye

 

Hope it was helpful , again it’s my personal feedback 🙂

Kind wishes,

Today’s post is about how to learn the secret tips and magic of Beauty and its relation to makeup … so we thought of having a 1-1 session with the Kuwaiti MUA Sebybeaute

Beautiful makeup is art ,and to be able to attain a masterpiece you should somehow have an interest, passion and the skill to learn more about it. Of-coarse each part of the world has its own special standard of “beauty” . .  and even you ? So if you get to know what you want then you are almost there to attain the look you are after or want.

Personally in terms of application and techniques I believe in the saying “Less is more” and  that each of us is beautiful in someway and feature , we just need to know and defined it by simple make up.

*Remember , This important Tip: 

You need to understand your skin type condition , based on that you get to buy and apply the makeup products.

***What suits a friend doesn’t always work with you too.

Here’s a visual Manual of the tools of the trade (the brushes):

Understanding all brush-set role will take you to another level of proficient makeup.
