Advice or Request

What does this product do? Why doesn't this product last? How do i use this product? How do i do this particular look? I’m sure you can apply these questions to a few of your own that you have regarding make up? So ask away :) If there is perhaps something particular you would like to see on a tutorial you can request that to and i will be sure to help out. I look forward to your questions and requests......              

Make it last !

MAC Prep + Prime
I never apply my foundation with out this product . After i've moisturized this is the next product i apply . It is a light weight lotion with "special effect silicone's"  It helps your make up apply smoothly and evenly. Your foundation last all day and night . The great thing as well is you only need a small amount of the product and it spreads easily over the skin . Avoid the eye area with this product .
Yet another great product to have in your kit :)

Line it up !


Maybelline DEFINE-A-LINE (Black) eye liner
ahhh I must say i am in love with this eye liner! It glides on super smooth , blends so well , lasts all day and has a precision tip .
This little bit of awesome comes with a smudge sponge at the back of the liner and it smudges the liner very well, great when your creating the desired "smokey eye" look.
It comes in Brownish Black , Ebony Black . I see they there is also Navy Blue ,Slate Grey ,Chestnut Brown , Soft Black  but here in South Africa i have only seen the Brownish Black and  Ebony Black.
So get out there and get it ;)

Concealer(MAC Pro Long Wear) VS Concealer (Lo'real Infallible )


VS


MAC Pro Long Wear Concealer
I went and got this product as i have pretty dark circles under my eyes. I look pretty tired if i don't cover up under my eyes so i needed something to cover up stay put for the day. It comes is a pump glass bottle and if you not careful it does dispense a bit too much product. The product does cover well ill give it that and it doesn't budge at all during the day but with that said it makes the under eye area appear dry so while im not looking tired i appear old with the product causing the under eye area to be dry . ;)
The one thing i am also not happy about with the product is the range of colors they have in it. I am very pale and their lightest is NC15 and that to is still a tiny bit too dark .

LO'REAL Infallible Concealer
I decided its time to find a replacement for my concealer and try another .This product seems thick when it comes out of the brush but it is truly light weight . It applies smoothly and evenly and covers well .It has a application brush in the front , i use it to apply to my under eyes and then i lightly pat the product to blend it. I have at times applied 2 thin layers just to see if it will make a difference and it really looks great to. My under eye area looks healthy , smooth and not dry , the area looks brighter as well . As for how long it lasts , i wouldn't say it last as long as the MAC one as i mentioned above but this one lasts about 8-10 hours for me and i am happy with that . So this is another MUST in my kit.

Foundation!!!

MAC Studio Fix Fluid SPF15
I have used a few foundations in my life and i always seem to find fault with each of them , but not with this one ! A big geeky thumbs up from my side with this product. It is Light weight and is great for building coverage . It has a semi Matt finish to, it is ideal if your not one for adding powder.
The product goes on smoothly and helps disguise any imperfections as well . The foundation i also find last long , it claims to last 8 hours and i cant find any fault with that it really does last.
This product is a MUST in my kit .
