Video Title: 3 Minutes of Y/N and Spencer Roasting Each Other (lovingly?)

Clips from Y/N’s makeup voiceover:

“It looks like Y/N is putting sunblock all over her face. She’s not putting on the recommended amount which is about ¼ teaspoon. Many dermatologists recommend the ‘three finger rule’ when applying so that you know you��ve used enough.”

…

“She’s now putting concealer under her eyes and on red spots. I believe this is for color correction, but she should be using a shade of green to neutralize the red and then put concealer or foundation on.”

…

“Right! Okay, now she's using foundation. This shade looks to be a shade too dark though. Y/N, did you run out of your winter shade?”

…

“...She told me this helps her makeup stay on all day, but her skin produces oils throughout the day so it's likely this really only works for a couple of hours at most.”

++

Clips from Y/N’s skincare routine:

“Well,” he began, looking back at the cameras and talking with his hands, “Sometimes, if I feel as though my pores had excreted more oil than normal and Y/N’s face wash is out, I'd use that, but more times than not, she's in bed before me so I’ll just use water.”

A pout formed on your face as you looked at the camera. “Terrible, I know.”

++

Random clips from Y/N’s TikToks:

Spencer was walking by Y/N doing a yoga session as he said, “your form is wrong. You’ll be complaining about your back aching later and we now know it isn't from your posture while editing.”

…

Y/N was currently on a live, walking into their kitchen when she made a face, “Spencer and I should be looking into pest control here– it smells like something died–”

“That’s the food. I’m making dinner…”

Y/N looked up at him with wide eyes, “Sorry, babe.”

…

Y/N set up a game of “they're a 10, but…” and only described Spencer: “He’s a 10 but he waited to say ‘I love you’ until a month after you said it because he didn't know if he believed you actually meant it.”

“I don't get this game.”

“He’s a 10 but he cut his own hair without telling me and his boss roasted him.”

“I get it now.”

ok so unprompted but since i refilled some makeup, thought i'd do a review on my last batch of products (everything is from yesstyle!!!) - do share your own favs/recs/opinions!!

skincare: · heartleaf 77 clear pad, anua - been trying diff toner pads, and honestly, really like this one! it may not seem like it's doing much, but since i have very acne-prone + sensitive skin, the fact that it hasn't caused a speck of redness or irritation bc it's so soothing and not sticky is a literal godsend. pads are circular, so good for placement and adjustment, but surface area is slightly minimal, i have to use 2-3 pads every time. no obvious smell either. (8.7/10)

· clean it zero cleansing balm, banila co - was on this shit for years!!! and then i was like lemme try other ones - nope, this is still the best. a little goes a LONG FUCKING WAY. i love this product. i will never abandon you again. literally gets my heaviest, water-proof mascara and foundation off with just a few swipes. but idk if it's heavy-duty enough for stage makeup. (infinity/10)

· heartleaf quercetinol pore deep cleansing foam, anua - like the toner pads, not irritating, hasn't caused any breakouts, etc. but otherwise, no visible change. like it does not actually get gunk out of your skin like some other cleansers that i've tried before. so... doesn't really do what it's been marketed to do. eh. (7/10)

base makeup: · three-shades concealer palette (#2, KO panda eye), judydoll - works great if you understand color theory. drastically helps with my under-eye dark circles, as well as brightening my temples and chin, which are perpetually plagued with large acne scars. definitely tackier than your usual, casual concealer, so great if you have some stubborn spots! but def need to moisturize your base well, or else it could leave splotchy, dry spots behind. also means you need to make sure your base complements the formula well, or else it could cause pilling. (8.1/10)

· duo eyebrow pencil (#03, medium brown), judydoll - love the pencil, not the biggest fan of the gel end. maybe it's because i've never used eyebrow gel before, but it does not apply very evenly. i honestly think it's bc the spoolie is so tiny. but the color is def there if you like darker, thicker brows. i just have very thick eyebrows already, and am constantly trying to make them look sparser and lighter, so the eyebrow gel def does not help. (5.4/10)

· creamy gel liner eyeshadow pencil (#11, gray brown + #08, nature beige), judydoll - i use it for my "aegyosal," and it's fantastic. i got the right colors, and they blend out so easily with just a brush of my finger. a little goes a LONG way. honestly, great, no complaints at all. could see the pencil being used to draw a light eyeshadow, along your waterline, creating a shadow underneath your lips, etc. (9.5/10)

lip: · lip potion steaming milk, alternativestereo - still trying to figure out how to use it with the brand's lipsticks ("lip potions"). i see better application of the lipstick when you apply the steaming milk first and let it sit for 10-15 min. i honestly just bought this because the packaging was cute in the photos, not that cute irl. it's fine? feels great though lol but def can live without it. also overpriced, compared to all the other lip products available on yesstyle afdjlkds (4.4/10)

tools: · concealer brush, mogugu - i honestly just bought one of the cheapest options on yesstyle bc it's j a brush lol i think it works just fine, can see it needing to get cleaned often though. i'd say it doesn't capture as much of the product if you let your concealer sit, but it's fine for the most part even if you don't. feel is fine, not particularly soft, but not scratchy either. (7.5/10)

°❀⋆.ೃ࿔*:･🎀 Indonesian local makeup for daily 150k 🎀°❀⋆.ೃ࿔*:･

Hi everyone! Risna's here👋🏻 I want to share to you my Indonesian local make up product. Many of you probably don't know about local Indonesian brands, but I'm honored to represent this beautiful brand that exists in my country. By the way, this is my first time posting on a blog using Tumblr. Please let me know how I can improve my blog. Please comment what happens if I'm wrong cuz I'm still learning with this blog

For most women these days, cosmetics are one of their most critical needs. Cosmetics are used for looks, but they are also usually linked to industry since professionals are expected to look well, and applying makeup is one way to encourage attractiveness. When it comes to makeup, most consumers may think that high-end brands offer greater benefits and are very different from drugstore brands, but in fact, 100% sure drugstore brands are just as useful as high-end brands at a much lower cost. It might not be worth spending the budget for some expensive product editions. A product is not always superior or more useful than an alternative that costs less just because it is more expensive.

I want to show you guys my favourite brand of local Indonesian makeup. I sometimes use it for my daily use and surprisingly it wouldn't make your pocket broke.

So here’s the makeup that i use for my daily and it cost just Rp.150k:

1. Wardah Foundation Natural: Rp. 31.000

The packaing is a slender tube featuring a screw-on top. The consistency is often thin, which might occasionally make it simple to remove and spill from the container. It is light, easy to spread, and non-sticky. The coverage is decent; it's somewhere between medium and full. Apply enough makeup in one layer to conceal redness and acne scars. You need more than one layer if you have dark eye bags or scars from black acne. It is still light and melds in with the prior layer even if you are using two layers. One small layer looks pretty lovely for daily use. The silky finish is lovely and organic. It looks lovely even after a few hours, and it doesn't slide easily. It's also somewhat oily. 8/10

2. Madame Gie Eyeliner: Rp. 22.000

This so fantastic!! the eyeliner is so worth it and have a long lasting all day!! 10/10

3. Marcks Bedak: Rp. 11.000

On top to being well-known, this powder has been around for a while and is quite excellent. It works well on all skin types, especially since there is an invisible version that doesn't alter the color of the skin. Teenagers can also use it, too. 9/10

4. Pixy Mascara: Rp. 30.000

Im sorry im not gonna reccomend this guys cuz the mascara is not longlasting and its hard to apply 4/10

5. Implora Eyebrow: Rp. 3.000

So lovely i love this and how the long lasting 10/10

6. Eyeshadow Dazzle Me pallet: Rp. 38.000

I highly reccomend this for u guys the pigment is so beautifull especially the shimmer one!. 10/10

7. Y.O.U Liptint Simplicity Strawberry S: Rp. 25.000

not really long lasting but their color so beautifull and pigmented 7/10

ᡣ𐭩ྀིྀིremeber!! Happy girls are the prettiest!!, XO ᡣ𐭩ྀིྀི

How To Use A Makeup Sponge Correctly

Whether you’re Team Brushes or Team Makeup Sponge, there’s no denying that a high-quality makeup sponge can elevate your makeup game. The best makeup sponges, like the original Beautyblender makeup sponge, help you achieve a flawless, airbrushed finish. If you’ve never used a makeup sponge before, prepare to be amazed by its versatility. Here’s everything you need to know about the different types of makeup sponges and how to use them correctly.

Types of Makeup Sponges

1. Beautyblender Sponge

This iconic teardrop-shaped makeup blender is the go-to tool for many beauty enthusiasts. Its versatile shape makes it perfect for applying everything from liquid foundations and concealers to setting powders and highlighters. The rounded edge of the Beautyblender sponge covers larger areas, while the pointed tip reaches into the nooks and crannies of your face, like around the nose and under the eyes.

2. Silicone Makeup Blender

Unlike traditional sponges, silicone makeup blenders have a smooth, flat surface that’s ideal for applying liquid and cream products. The best part? Their non-porous texture ensures zero product wastage, making them a cost-effective choice.

3. Makeup Remover Sponge

This relatively new addition to the world of beauty tools is a game-changer for makeup removal. Made with unique fibers, these reusable sponges gently lift makeup and excess oil from your skin when paired with a cleanser and water. They’re eco-friendly and effective.

Makeup Sponge Tips and Tricks

1. Wet or Dry?

When working with creams or liquids, always dampen your makeup sponge first. Run it under tap water until it nearly doubles in size, then squeeze out the excess water. This step ensures the sponge doesn’t absorb too much product, giving you better coverage. For powders, you can use the sponge damp or dry depending on your desired finish.

2. Prep Your Sponge

To minimize product absorption, prep your makeup sponge by applying a small amount of primer or setting spray to it before use. This hack not only saves your foundation but also enhances the longevity of your makeup.

3. Dab, Don’t Drag

Achieving a smooth, even finish is all about technique. Instead of dragging the sponge across your face, use a bouncing or stippling motion. This method helps blend the product seamlessly into your skin, creating a natural, airbrushed look.

4. Natural Coverage

For a subtle, no-makeup look, use your makeup sponge to blend concealer that matches your skin tone over blemishes, dark spots, and under-eye circles. This approach delivers light to medium coverage that looks like your skin but better.

5. Rosy Cheeks

Blend cream or powder blush with your sponge for a natural flush. The sponge allows you to control how much product you apply, reducing the chances of overdoing it. Experiment with shades using virtual try-on tools to find the perfect match for your skin tone.

6. Sculpt Your Face

Want chiseled cheekbones or a defined jawline? Use your sponge to blend cream contour products. The Beautyblender sponge is particularly effective for this, as it seamlessly diffuses harsh lines for a natural finish.

7. Bake Your Makeup

Baking is a popular technique to lock in your makeup. Use a damp sponge to press loose powder into your under-eye area, cheekbones, and jawline. After a few minutes, dust off the excess powder for a smooth, creaseless finish.

8. Blot Your Skin

If your makeup starts looking shiny midday, gently dab a dry sponge over oily areas to absorb excess oil without disturbing your makeup.

9. Refresh Your Makeup

Revive your makeup with a spritz of setting spray. Use your sponge to lightly press the spray into your skin, freshening up your look without needing a full reapplication.

10. Use It With Skincare Products

Your makeup sponge isn’t limited to makeup! Use it to apply moisturizers, serums, and eye creams for an even application and a soothing experience.

11. Clean Your Sponge

Keeping your makeup sponge clean is crucial to avoid breakouts and ensure optimal performance. Wash it with water after each use and deep clean it weekly using an oil-based cleanser or gentle soap. A clean sponge not only keeps your skin healthy but also ensures streak-free application every time.

Why Choose the Original Beautyblender Sponge?

The original Beautyblender makeup sponge stands out as one of the best makeup sponges on the market. Its unique material and teardrop shape allow for flawless blending, whether you’re applying foundation, contour, or highlighter. Designed for durability and precision, this makeup sponge is a must-have for achieving a professional finish at home.

Conclusion

Makeup sponges are versatile tools that can elevate your beauty routine. From achieving a natural look to mastering advanced techniques like contouring and baking, the best makeup sponges, such as the original Beautyblender makeup sponge, are indispensable for any makeup enthusiast. Remember to clean your sponge regularly and explore its many uses beyond just makeup application.

For the ultimate in flawless makeup application, visit Beautyblender and explore their range of high-quality sponges and accessories. Embrace the power of the Beautyblender sponge and take your makeup game to the next level!

Happy Happy New Year my friends of SAACA! I have recuperated from my 8 day road trip with my family where we trekked up to Lake Placid, NY from Georgia for a quick ski trip, the kids are now back in school, and I’m reinvigorated to start this new year with some fresh content for you ladies! If you didn’t catch my last of post of 2024 on my Low Key Winter Beauty Checklist, please do so! To kick off my first post here for 2025, we are going to talk about how to incorporate the Pantone Color of the Year into your makeup routine and why this specific shade is a fabulous choice. WHY does Pantone pick a Color of the Year? A single and distinct hue is chosen to engage the design community and color enthusiasts in a conversation that surrounds the relationship between color and culture. The color chosen is to help express a global mood for the year that captures the global zeitgeist. WHAT Color did they pick this year? Pantone has unveiled its Color of the Year for 2025… and it is PANTONE 17-1230 Mocha Mousse. This shade is described as a mellow, warm, rich brown hue that nurtures us with a suggestion of delectable qualities of chocolate and coffee, that exudes a desire for comfort and sophistication. Personally, I love the idea of feeling comfy, yet chic and sophisticated heading into 2025, what a great combo.  Why Choose Pantone Color of the Year Mocha Mousse? Mocha Mousse is a universally flattering shade that complements a wide range of skin tones and is the perfect cozy shade for this winter season. Its earthy warmth adds depth and dimension, making it ideal for us mature ladies. Shop the Post Turn on your JavaScript to view content Incorporating the Pantone Color of the Year can provide a subtle yet impactful update to not only your makeup, but can also to be added into:  your home with a luxury faux fur Pottery Barn blanket, $125, your wardrobe with a rich pair of suede Jeffrey Campbell boots, $189, and nails with Essie polish in shade “Crochet Away,” $10, as well.  How to Incorporate Mocha Mousse into Your Makeup Routine I’ll be doing my makeup for this look in kind of a reverse order than normal, so I’m just trying new things this year! Let me know what you think. Pantone Color of the Year for Skin Hydrated skin, that not only feels, but appears hydrated and glowy, is very important to me for using these tones of brown. Mature skin often benefits from well-hydrated products. So opt for cream-based formulations in one or all of eyeshadows, blushes, or foundations to maintain a dewy, youthful appearance.  I used the following skin TRIO to ensure my skin doesn’t look dry like brown dirt!  First, my new obsession is the viral Amazon product – d’Alba Piedmont Italian First Spray Serum, $24, that I spray before I apply my makeup and then throughout the day to get my dewy appearance back! Feels and smells incredible.  Second, the Haus Labs Triclone Skin Tech foundation, $48, in shade 120. This foundation is made with 20+ skincare ingredients, specifically arnica to help reduce redness, and delivers ultra-comfortable, medium coverage that is weightless with a serum-like texture. And finally this Laura Mercier Real Flawless Weightless concealer, $33, in shade 2C2, to spot treat over my dark circles and to brighten up high points of my face. Always using the BK Beauty kitten paw concealer brush, $24, to flawlessly apply my concealer each and every time!  Shop the Post Turn on your JavaScript to view content Blush A blush shade that leans more bronze-like is a great choice to add warmth and dimension to your complexion. These shades can provide a healthy, natural-looking glow that enhances your features gracefully without being super bright.  One of my go-to shades for a pink with a hint of bronze and champagne, is Charlotte Tilbury “Pillow Talk original” blush, $42. It’s perfect for this look because of its subtle warmth with a hint of glow due to the pearlescent center.  This powder blush gives a dewy glow without being a cream formula. If you’ve been looking for a gorgeous neutral-ish blush, this is a keeper! Lip Color A lipstick or gloss in this warm brown shade adds sophistication to your look. It’s versatile enough for daily wear and can be layered for a more dramatic evening appearance. My lip combo of the Buxom lip liner in “Hi Def Honey,” $22, with one of my all time fave cheap glosses, NYX Butter gloss in shade “Praline,” $6, aligns nicely with the Mocha Mousse trend. If you’re more of a true lipstick girly, treat yourself to a YSL Candy Glaze lipstick in “Scenic Brown,” $42, you won’t regret it. Shop the Post Turn on your JavaScript to view content Pantone Color of the Year for Eyeshadow A Pantone Color of the Year mocha mousse-inspired eyeshadow look can create a soft, smoky eye that’s perfect for both day and night. Its warm undertones enhance eye color and add depth without being overpowering. I chose to use the liquid eye paint shadows by About Face, $16, in shades Capulet (soft brown) and Cloned (warm terracotta) to create the most gorgeous brown-inspired eye! If you haven’t tried this formula yet, go do it if you love cream shadows. They blend out softly like a dream, you only need a slight dab of the color, then diffuse edges with a plush eyeshadow brush, $24, for best results.  Pantone Color of the Year for Eyeliner You could use a true brown-toned eyeliner to define your eyes subtly, offering a softer alternative to traditional black, like the Victoria Beckham Satin Kajal liner in “Cocoa,” $34. (You all know how much I looove her eyeliners 🙂 However, I chose to use a deep black shade liner and then added the darker of the two liquid paint shadows on top to diffuse the black and give it a smokey vibe without being too dark! I lined my inner lower waterline and upper lash line with the black, then added the shade “Cloned” on top of both with my trusty skinny M443 eyeliner brush, $8, to smudge out.  Finish off with curled lashes and lots of mascara of course.  I’ve loved the Caliray Come Hell Or High Water tubing mascara, $24, these days. Don’t forget to Blend Well! Blending is crucial, especially with darker shades like browns. Ensure seamless transitions between colors to avoid harsh lines, which can be unflattering on mature skin. Need a great blush brush, foundation brush, and/or eye makeup brushes to ensure your blending is on point for the rest of 2025? Then check out BK Beauty brushes now on Amazon – they’re some of the best-made quality brushes I’ve ever used.  The rest of my look details: Similar brown 2 piece loungewear set on Amazon, $48. // My zodiac charm + semi-precious choker necklace combo from Sequin Jewelry gets worn quite often, $200. Such a personal piece. // Brown faux fur jackets similar to mine here at Urban Outfitters, $99 and here at Neiman Marcus, $695. // My double Drusy Kendra Scott ring, is now half off, $78.

Happy Happy New Year my friends of SAACA! I have recuperated from my 8 day road trip with my family where we trekked up to Lake Placid, NY from Georgia for a quick ski trip, the kids are now back in school, and I’m reinvigorated to start this new year with some fresh content for you ladies! If you didn’t catch my last of post of 2024 on my Low Key Winter Beauty Checklist, please do so! To kick off my first post here for 2025, we are going to talk about how to incorporate the Pantone Color of the Year into your makeup routine and why this specific shade is a fabulous choice. WHY does Pantone pick a Color of the Year? A single and distinct hue is chosen to engage the design community and color enthusiasts in a conversation that surrounds the relationship between color and culture. The color chosen is to help express a global mood for the year that captures the global zeitgeist. WHAT Color did they pick this year? Pantone has unveiled its Color of the Year for 2025… and it is PANTONE 17-1230 Mocha Mousse. This shade is described as a mellow, warm, rich brown hue that nurtures us with a suggestion of delectable qualities of chocolate and coffee, that exudes a desire for comfort and sophistication. Personally, I love the idea of feeling comfy, yet chic and sophisticated heading into 2025, what a great combo.  Why Choose Pantone Color of the Year Mocha Mousse? Mocha Mousse is a universally flattering shade that complements a wide range of skin tones and is the perfect cozy shade for this winter season. Its earthy warmth adds depth and dimension, making it ideal for us mature ladies. Shop the Post Turn on your JavaScript to view content Incorporating the Pantone Color of the Year can provide a subtle yet impactful update to not only your makeup, but can also to be added into:  your home with a luxury faux fur Pottery Barn blanket, $125, your wardrobe with a rich pair of suede Jeffrey Campbell boots, $189, and nails with Essie polish in shade “Crochet Away,” $10, as well.  How to Incorporate Mocha Mousse into Your Makeup Routine I’ll be doing my makeup for this look in kind of a reverse order than normal, so I’m just trying new things this year! Let me know what you think. Pantone Color of the Year for Skin Hydrated skin, that not only feels, but appears hydrated and glowy, is very important to me for using these tones of brown. Mature skin often benefits from well-hydrated products. So opt for cream-based formulations in one or all of eyeshadows, blushes, or foundations to maintain a dewy, youthful appearance.  I used the following skin TRIO to ensure my skin doesn’t look dry like brown dirt!  First, my new obsession is the viral Amazon product – d’Alba Piedmont Italian First Spray Serum, $24, that I spray before I apply my makeup and then throughout the day to get my dewy appearance back! Feels and smells incredible.  Second, the Haus Labs Triclone Skin Tech foundation, $48, in shade 120. This foundation is made with 20+ skincare ingredients, specifically arnica to help reduce redness, and delivers ultra-comfortable, medium coverage that is weightless with a serum-like texture. And finally this Laura Mercier Real Flawless Weightless concealer, $33, in shade 2C2, to spot treat over my dark circles and to brighten up high points of my face. Always using the BK Beauty kitten paw concealer brush, $24, to flawlessly apply my concealer each and every time!  Shop the Post Turn on your JavaScript to view content Blush A blush shade that leans more bronze-like is a great choice to add warmth and dimension to your complexion. These shades can provide a healthy, natural-looking glow that enhances your features gracefully without being super bright.  One of my go-to shades for a pink with a hint of bronze and champagne, is Charlotte Tilbury “Pillow Talk original” blush, $42. It’s perfect for this look because of its subtle warmth with a hint of glow due to the pearlescent center.  This powder blush gives a dewy glow without being a cream formula. If you’ve been looking for a gorgeous neutral-ish blush, this is a keeper! Lip Color A lipstick or gloss in this warm brown shade adds sophistication to your look. It’s versatile enough for daily wear and can be layered for a more dramatic evening appearance. My lip combo of the Buxom lip liner in “Hi Def Honey,” $22, with one of my all time fave cheap glosses, NYX Butter gloss in shade “Praline,” $6, aligns nicely with the Mocha Mousse trend. If you’re more of a true lipstick girly, treat yourself to a YSL Candy Glaze lipstick in “Scenic Brown,” $42, you won’t regret it.

Its warm undertones enhance eye color and add depth without being overpowering. I chose to use the liquid eye paint shadows by About Face, $16, in shades Capulet (soft brown) and Cloned (warm terracotta) to create the most gorgeous brown-inspired eye! If you haven’t tried this formula yet, go do it if you love cream shadows. They blend out softly like a dream, you only need a slight dab of the color, then diffuse edges with a plush eyeshadow brush, $24, for best results.  Pantone Color of the Year for Eyeliner You could use a true brown-toned eyeliner to define your eyes subtly, offering a softer alternative to traditional black, like the Victoria Beckham Satin Kajal liner in “Cocoa,” $34. (You all know how much I looove her eyeliners 🙂 However, I chose to use a deep black shade liner and then added the darker of the two liquid paint shadows on top to diffuse the black and give it a smokey vibe without being too dark! I lined my inner lower waterline and upper lash line with the black, then added the shade “Cloned” on top of both with my trusty skinny M443 eyeliner brush, $8, to smudge out.  Finish off with curled lashes and lots of mascara of course.  I’ve loved the Caliray Come Hell Or High Water tubing mascara, $24, these days.

Master the Bobbi Brown Makeup Tutorial in 5 Minutes

If you're a busy woman who loves looking fabulous on the go, mastering a quick makeup routine is key.

Inspired by Bobbi Brown's expert tips, here’s how you can achieve a flawless look in just five minutes.

Bobbi Brown, renowned for her effortless approach to makeup, shows us that achieving a polished look doesn’t have to be time-consuming. Whether you’re headed to a meeting or a brunch date, these tips will keep you looking fresh and radiant throughout the day.

Perfecting Your Base

Creating a flawless base sets the tone for your entire makeup routine. Follow these steps:

Choose the Right Foundation: Opt for a lightweight foundation or tinted moisturizer that matches your skin tone perfectly. Blend it seamlessly using your fingers or a brush for a natural finish. Start from the center of your face and blend outward for an even application.

Conceal and Correct: Use a concealer to touch up any redness around the nose or dark circles under your eyes. A quick dab and blend will leave you looking well-rested and ready to take on the day. Choose a concealer that is one shade lighter than your foundation for a brightening effect.

Enhancing Your Eyes

Your eyes are the focal point of your face. Here’s how to enhance them in no time:

Define Your Brows: Quickly fill in your brows using a pencil that matches your natural brow color. Brush through with a spoolie to soften and shape. Focus on filling in sparse areas and creating a defined arch that complements your face shape.

Lash Curling and Mascara: Curl your lashes before applying a coat of black mascara. This opens up your eyes instantly, giving you a wide-awake look even on the busiest of mornings. Start at the base of your lashes and wiggle the mascara wand upwards for length and volume.

Adding Color and Glow

A touch of color can elevate your look from everyday to extraordinary:

Blush for Radiance: Apply a pink-toned blush to the apples of your cheeks. A quick smile will help you find the perfect placement for a natural flush of color. Blend the blush upwards towards your temples for a youthful glow.

Lips and Final Touches: Complete your look with a swipe of lip gloss or a subtle lipstick shade. This adds a hint of shine and completes your five-minute makeup transformation. Choose a lip color that enhances your natural lip tone for a fresh and polished finish.

Tips for Long-Lasting Makeup

Make your makeup last throughout the day with these expert tips:

Set with Powder: Dust a translucent powder over your T-zone to control shine and set your foundation and concealer. Use a fluffy brush to lightly press the powder into your skin without disturbing your makeup.

Blotting Papers: Keep blotting papers handy to touch up any excess oil throughout the day without disturbing your makeup. Gently press the blotting paper onto oily areas like your forehead, nose, and chin for a matte finish.

Setting Spray: Finish with a spritz of setting spray to lock in your makeup and ensure it stays fresh from morning till night. Hold the setting spray 8-10 inches away from your face and mist evenly to set your makeup in place.

Quick Fixes for Makeup Mistakes

Don’t panic if you make a makeup mishap. Here’s how to fix common issues:

Smudged Mascara or Eyeliner: Use a cotton swab dipped in makeup remover to gently clean up any smudges without ruining your eye makeup. Start from the outer corner and gently swipe inwards to remove excess product.

Uneven Blush or Foundation: Blend out any harsh lines with a clean makeup sponge or brush. Patience and a light touch are key to achieving a seamless finish. Use dabbing motions to blend and soften edges for a flawless complexion.

6. Dry Shampoo with Added Volume

2. Overnight Masks

3. Silk Pillowcase

4. Nighttime Haircare

Conclusion: Beauty in Minutes

1. Simplify Your Routine with a Cleanser and Moisturizer Combo

If you’re pressed for time, a gentle cleanser that doubles as a moisturizer is a game-changer. Look for creamy cleansers that hydrate while they cleanse, so your skin stays soft and moisturized even if you skip a few extra steps. This will save time without compromising on hydration or cleanliness.

2. Use Micellar Water for Fast Cleansing

Micellar water is a quick and easy way to cleanse your face without needing to rinse. It’s perfect for women who need a fast refresh during the day, or for removing makeup at night. Simply soak a cotton pad with micellar water and swipe it over your face for a thorough cleanse.

3. Prioritize SPF

No matter how busy you are, never skip sunscreen. A broad-spectrum SPF 30+ is essential for protecting your skin from UV damage, which accelerates aging and can lead to hyperpigmentation. For a time-saving solution, opt for a moisturizer with SPF, so you can hydrate and protect your skin in one step.

4. Opt for a Serum with Multiple Benefits

Serums are lightweight, absorb quickly, and pack a powerful punch of nutrients. Choose a multitasking serum that addresses several skin concerns—like hydration, anti-aging, and brightening. Ingredients like vitamin C, hyaluronic acid, and niacinamide work together to brighten skin, boost moisture, and even out skin tone.

5. Use Sheet Masks for a Quick Boost

Sheet masks are a fast and effective way to hydrate, brighten, or soothe your skin, especially when you’re in a rush. Apply a sheet mask while you’re having breakfast or catching up on emails. In just 10-15 minutes, you’ll have glowing, refreshed skin with minimal effort.

6. Eye Cream in the Morning

Brighten your eyes and reduce puffiness with a quick application of eye cream in the morning. Look for products with caffeine or vitamin C serum to help reduce dark circles and wake up tired eyes.

Time-Saving Makeup Hacks for Women On-the-Go

1. BB or CC Cream for Quick Coverage

Instead of applying multiple layers of foundation, concealer, and primer, opt for a BB cream or CC cream. These products combine coverage, SPF, hydration, and even skin tone all in one step. They’re perfect for women who want light to medium coverage and a natural finish without spending too much time on makeup.

2. Use a Cream Blush

Cream blushes are easy to blend with your fingers and can double as a lip tint. This two-in-one hack saves time, giving your face a quick flush of color without needing a brush. Plus, cream blushes offer a natural, dewy finish, perfect for a fresh, healthy glow.

3. Master the One-Minute Eye Look

When you don’t have time for a full eyeshadow application, opt for a single neutral shade that can be swept over the lids for a quick wash of color. Champagne, bronze, or light brown tones work well on all skin tones and can give your eyes a polished look with minimal effort. Finish with a swipe of mascara for instant definition.

4. Skip the Liquid Eyeliner

For an easy eye look, skip the time-consuming liquid eyeliner and go for a soft, smoky line with an eyeliner pencil or eyeshadow. Smudge the product along your upper lash line for a softer, more forgiving look that’s easier to correct if you make a mistake.

5. Focus on Brows

Well-groomed brows can instantly frame your face, even when you’re wearing minimal makeup. Keep a tinted brow gel on hand to quickly fill in sparse areas and shape your brows in seconds. The gel formula will also keep your brows in place throughout the day.

6. Invest in a Long-Lasting Lip Product

To save time on touch-ups, choose a long-wearing lip product that stays put throughout the day. Liquid lipsticks, lip stains, or tinted lip balms provide color that lasts without needing constant reapplication. For a quick boost of hydration and color, go for a tinted lip balm that doubles as a nourishing lip treatment.

Multi-Purpose Beauty Products for Women On-the-Go

Multitasking beauty products are a lifesaver for busy women. These versatile items reduce the number of products in your routine, helping you streamline your beauty regimen without sacrificing results.

1. All-in-One Moisturizer with SPF

An all-in-one moisturizer that includes SPF is a must-have for women on the go. Not only does it save time, but it also ensures your skin stays hydrated and protected from harmful UV rays. Opt for one with added antioxidants like vitamin E to combat free radical damage and boost skin radiance.

2. Lip and Cheek Tint

A product that doubles as both a blush and a lip color can save you precious time in the morning. A lip and cheek tint is perfect for adding a pop of color to both your lips and cheeks, giving you a coordinated look with just one product.

3. Multipurpose Concealer

Find a concealer that can work for more than just covering blemishes. A multipurpose concealer can also act as a foundation when applied in a thin layer across the face. Choose a creamy formula that blends easily into the skin for a flawless, natural finish.

4. Hair and Body Oil

A lightweight oil that works for both your hair and body is a great addition to your routine. Look for nourishing oils like argan oil or jojoba oil, which can tame frizz, add shine to your hair, and moisturize your skin. This way, you can tackle multiple beauty concerns with just one product.

5. Tinted Moisturizer with Skincare Benefits

A tinted moisturizer that combines coverage with skincare benefits like SPF, antioxidants, and hydration is perfect for busy women. This product eliminates the need for foundation, sunscreen, and a moisturizer in your routine, saving you time while giving your skin a healthy, radiant look.

6. Dry Shampoo with Added Volume

Dry shampoo is a time-saving hero for women who don’t have time to wash their hair every day. Opt for a dry shampoo that also adds volume to your roots, giving you a refreshed, voluminous look in seconds. This product is perfect for reviving second-day hair, especially when you’re in a rush.

Nighttime Beauty Routine for Busy Women

ven though you’re busy, your nighttime routine is essential for keeping your skin and hair healthy. Here’s how to maximize your nighttime beauty routine, even with limited time.

1. Double Cleanse

After a long day, double cleansing ensures all makeup, dirt, and pollutants are removed from your skin. Start with an oil-based cleanser to break down makeup, followed by a water-based cleanser to cleanse the skin deeply.

2. Overnight Masks

If you don’t have time for a long skincare routine, opt for an overnight mask that works while you sleep. Look for masks that focus on hydration, anti-aging, or brightening to wake up with refreshed, glowing skin.

3. Silk Pillowcase

Invest in a silk pillowcase to help reduce hair breakage and minimize wrinkles. Silk is gentler on the skin and hair, preventing frizz and creases during sleep. It’s a small change with significant benefits for both skin and hair.

4. Nighttime Haircare

If you don’t have time to style your hair in the morning, prepare it the night before. Braid damp hair for heatless waves, or apply a leave-in conditioner or hair oil to nourish your strands while you sleep. This will make morning styling faster and easier.

Conclusion: Beauty in Minutes

Even with a busy schedule, looking and feeling your best doesn’t have to be a challenge. With these time-saving skincare and makeup tips, along with multitasking beauty products, you can simplify your routine without sacrificing results. From quick cleanses to multipurpose makeup, these beauty hacks are perfect for women on the go who want to maintain glowing skin and polished looks in minimal time.

10 Must-Know Makeup Tips for a Flawless Look

Achieving a flawless makeup look is often seen as an art form, requiring both skill and the right techniques. Whether you're just starting out or you're looking to refine your skills, mastering the basics is essential. Below, we’ll explore ten must-know makeup tips that will guide you toward achieving a flawless look every time. As you dive into these tips, remember that seeking professional guidance from a Makeup Academy can significantly enhance your skillset.

1. Start with a Well-Prepared Base for Smooth Makeup Application

The foundation of flawless makeup starts with well-prepped skin. Before touching a makeup brush, ensure your skin is clean, hydrated, and primed. Begin with a gentle cleanser to remove any impurities, followed by a moisturizer suitable for your skin type. A well-moisturized face ensures that your foundation glides on smoothly without emphasizing dry patches or imperfections. Using a primer afterward helps to create an even surface, minimizing the appearance of pores and increasing the longevity of your makeup.

Pro Tips: Many students skip skincare, resulting in patchy, uneven makeup. A Makeup Academy emphasizes the importance of skincare routines in creating the perfect canvas.

2. The Importance of Choosing the Right Foundation for Your Skin Type

Choosing the correct foundation can make or break your look. The key is selecting a formula that complements both your skin type (oily, dry, or combination) and your undertone (warm, cool, or neutral). Opt for lightweight, breathable foundations for oily skin and hydrating formulas for dry skin. Matching your foundation perfectly to your neck ensures a seamless blend, avoiding the dreaded 'mask effect.'

Pro Tips: Struggling to find the right shade or formula? This is often a major frustration, but a Makeup Academy can teach you to assess undertones and choose the best match for clients or yourself.

3. Blending Techniques That Can Transform Your Makeup Game

Proper blending is the difference between amateur and professional-looking makeup. To achieve a natural, glowing look, using the right tools is essential. Makeup sponges, like beauty blenders, help blend foundation and concealer smoothly without leaving streaks. Brushes are excellent for more controlled applications like eyeshadow or contouring. Always blend in soft, circular motions and ensure there are no harsh lines.

Pro Tips: Student Pain Point: Inconsistent blending results in an uneven, cakey look. Professional guidance at a Makeup Academy can help you master blending techniques for a flawless finish.

4. How to Achieve Perfectly Shaped Eyebrows with Minimal Effort

Eyebrows frame your face and can drastically impact your overall look. Rather than over-plucking or over-filling, aim for a shape that complements your natural brow structure. Use brow pencils or powders in soft strokes to fill in sparse areas, and a brow gel to keep hairs in place. Remember, symmetrical doesn’t always mean identical; natural-looking brows are more flattering.

Pro Tips: Many beginners find shaping eyebrows difficult and often overdo them. At a Makeup Academy, you'll learn the art of shaping brows without overcomplicating the process.

5. The Art of Applying Eyeshadow for Different Eye Shapes

Eyeshadow application isn't one-size-fits-all. The shape of your eyes determines how you should apply eyeshadow for the best results. For example, those with hooded eyes benefit from keeping the crease darker to create depth, while almond-shaped eyes look great with winged-out shadow. Layering shades from light to dark, and blending them properly, adds dimension and drama to your eyes.

Pro Tips: Students often struggle with applying eyeshadow for their eye shape. A Makeup Academy can teach you tailored techniques to suit every eye type, enhancing your natural beauty.

6. Eyeliner Styles That Can Elevate Your Overall Look

Eyeliner is a powerful tool for defining your eyes. From a classic wing to a subtle tight line, the possibilities are endless. The key to flawless eyeliner is using the right type—whether gel, liquid, or pencil—based on your preferred look. Practice makes perfect, but using techniques like resting your elbow on a table for steadiness can help you achieve sharper lines.

Pro Tips: Achieving symmetry with eyeliner can be tricky. Learning various eyeliner styles and techniques in a Makeup School can help you confidently create the perfect line.

7. Contouring and Highlighting Tricks for Defined Features

Contouring and highlighting can give your face more dimension and enhance your natural features. Use a contour shade slightly darker than your skin tone on areas like the hollows of your cheeks, jawline, and the sides of your nose. Highlight the high points of your face—cheekbones, the bridge of your nose, and your brow bone—for a radiant look. The goal is to enhance your features subtly, not overdo it.

Pro Tips: Many struggle with placement and blending when it comes to contouring. Professional instruction from a Beauty School can make mastering this advanced technique easier.

8. How to Choose the Right Lip Color for Your Skin Tone

The right lip color ties your entire look together. While it may be tempting to go for trendy shades, choosing a lip color that complements your skin tone is crucial. Warm tones work well with peachy nudes, corals, and reds, while cooler undertones look stunning in berry, mauve, or blue-based reds.

Pro Tips: Students often find it challenging to match lip colors to their skin tone. A Makeup School provides insights into color theory, helping you make more informed decisions.

9. Setting Your Makeup for All-Day Wear with the Right Products

The key to long-lasting makeup is setting it properly. After applying your products, use a setting powder to lock everything in place and prevent shine, especially if you have oily skin. For a dewy finish, opt for a setting spray instead. The right setting products ensure your makeup stays put all day without looking cakey or heavy.

Pro Tips: Many students complain about makeup that doesn't last. With professional training at a beauty school, you'll learn the correct way to put on makeup for various skin types and occasions.

10. Final Touches: Why a Light Hand with Blush and Bronzer Matters

A common mistake many beginners make is applying too much blush or bronzer. The goal is to add a healthy flush of color to your cheeks or warmth to your face, not to overpower it. Use a light hand, build the color slowly, and blend thoroughly for a natural glow. Less is often more when it comes to these finishing touches.

Pro Tips: Over-applying blush and bronzer is a frequent issue. Professional training from a Beauty School can teach you how to balance these elements for a refined, polished look.

By mastering these essential makeup techniques, you can elevate your everyday look and gain confidence in your abilities. Whether you're perfecting your makeup routine or pursuing a professional path, learning from experts at a Makeup Academy will ensure you’re equipped with the right skills and knowledge to create flawless looks every time.

10 Useful Winter Makeup Tips

As the temperatures drop and the air becomes drier, adjusting your makeup routine to accommodate the winter weather is essential for maintaining a flawless and glowing complexion. From combatting dry skin to embracing seasonal trends, here are 10 useful winter makeup tips to help you look and feel your best all season long.

Hydrate, Hydrate, Hydrate: During the winter months, the cold air can wreak havoc on your skin, leaving it dry and dehydrated. Combat dryness by incorporating hydrating skincare products into your routine, such as a moisturizing serum or a rich face cream. Keeping your skin well-hydrated will create a smooth canvas for makeup application and prevent flakiness.

Prime for Perfection: Before applying your makeup, don't forget to prime your skin. A good primer not only helps your makeup last longer but also creates a smooth and even base for foundation. Look for a hydrating primer with ingredients like hyaluronic acid to lock in moisture and prevent your makeup from clinging to dry patches.

Choose a Dewy Foundation: In the winter, opt for a dewy or luminous foundation formula to add a healthy glow to your complexion. Avoid matte foundations, which can accentuate dryness and make your skin look dull. Instead, look for foundations with hydrating ingredients like glycerin or squalene to keep your skin looking radiant all day long.

Conceal with Care: To conceal dark circles and blemishes, choose a creamy concealer with a hydrating formula. Apply sparingly and blend well to avoid creasing and cakiness. Consider using a color-correcting concealer to neutralize any redness or discoloration caused by the cold weather.

Add a Pop of Color: Brighten up your winter makeup look with a touch of color on your cheeks and lips. Opt for creamy blush formulas in warm, rosy tones to add a natural flush to your complexion. For your lips, choose hydrating lipsticks or tinted lip balms in shades of berry, plum, or mauve to complement the season's hues.

Define Your Eyes: Make your eyes the focal point of your winter makeup look by defining them with eyeliner and mascara. Choose a waterproof eyeliner to prevent smudging and opt for volumizing mascara to add drama to your lashes. Consider using warm-toned eyeshadows in shades of bronze, copper, and gold to create a festive and flattering eye makeup look.

Embrace Bold Brows: Bold brows are always in style, and they can help frame your face and enhance your features during the winter months. Use a brow pencil or powder to fill in any sparse areas and create a natural-looking definition. Set your brows in place with a clear or tinted brow gel to keep them looking groomed all day long.

Set with Setting Spray: To lock in your makeup and ensure it stays put throughout the day, finish off your winter makeup look with a setting spray. Look for a hydrating setting spray that will not only help your makeup last longer but also refresh and hydrate your skin throughout the day.

Take Care of Your Skin: In addition to your makeup routine, don't forget to take care of your skin from the inside out. Drink plenty of water to stay hydrated, and incorporate nourishing foods like fruits, vegetables, and omega-3 fatty acids into your diet to keep your skin healthy and radiant from within.

Remove Makeup Before Bed: Last but not least, always remember to remove your makeup before bed. Use a gentle cleanser to remove all traces of makeup, followed by a hydrating moisturizer to replenish your skin overnight. This will help prevent breakouts and keep your skin looking fresh and youthful throughout the winter season.

With these 10 useful winter makeup tips, you can keep your complexion glowing and your makeup looking flawless all season long. By adjusting your makeup routine to accommodate the colder weather and embracing seasonal trends, you can look and feel your best no matter how chilly it gets outside. So go ahead, experiment with new makeup looks, and enjoy the beauty of winter!

Read the article now: Does Your Makeup Kit Need An Overhaul?

We are experiencing a new season, so some of our products won’t be used again until spring. As spring is a while away, that can leave our makeup kit very dull. Our favourite products no longer fit into the vibe of the colder months, and we want to go on a shopping spree. You may need to overhaul your makeup kit if this sounds like you.

Are you somebody who likes painting your face with a little of this and a little of that? Do you have that impatient bug awaiting some brush and bling? Are you yearning for that perfect antidote to dark circles? I’m here to tell you that all your prayers have been answered!

Humble Beginnings

Using makeup is a hobby for some and a passion for others. For the passionate, makeup is an art that requires the proper knowledge of technique and tools. This article will be your step-by-step guide that you can refer to whenever you have any doubts or queries about the whole process.

Cleansers For Your Kit

Let’s begin with a skin-friendly cleanser that helps prevent acne and dead skin, ensuring a replenished skin tone. Say hello to the F-Balm Electrolyte Waterfacial by Drunk Elephant. This face mask is recommended by reputable sources to clear your skin just before applying makeup. Next in line is the moisturiser, which is the most important.

Moisturise & Conceal

Cetaphil by Nestle Skincare is a highly reliable moisturiser, especially when it comes to affordability, the reduction of dark spots and maintaining your soft glow.

Dark Peach by Bobbi Brown is here to conceal all your dark marks and make you shine through. Getting the inch-perfect one is a herculean task, but this one matches almost all skin tones and works as a makeup primer.

Foundation & Application

Vitalumiere by Chanel comes in 10 shades for the foundation range. Whilst it is not the most competitive line (Fenty Beauty with 40), it is still one of the finest. Also, a Chanel purchase is on your wish list for everyone who loves beauty. Foundations are much easier to get a hold of than bags, so why not start small?

Then come the brushes and the blenders, which have the most variety when it comes to cosmetics. The Glow Professional Wooden Handle Makeup brushes have been crafted in a traditional wooden design, giving your kit a royal look. The bristles are well-spaced and have a smoothly blended look, but ensure you clean them every four days as that guarantees long-lasting effects.

The Maybelline New York Facestudio Makeup Blender is the most comfortable. It is washable and cushions the skin well, ensuring seamless application.

Eyes For The Kit

Clarins has created The Perfect Eyes and Brows Palette, which lives up to its name! Giving your eyes a detailed and defined finish, the textures have their own tales. To get that flawless mascara and eyeliner, the most vouched for is the Voluminous mascara and the Chanel cream eyeliner. As we all know, eyeliners are both liquids and in pencil form, so choose it or lose it.

We will now head over to the blush, bronzer and highlighter palette, and there are no two ways about the Sephora Collection. It gives you the satin, dewy look you’re internally craving and is an amalgamation of the shimmery shades. It is combined with an eye-shadow palette which is their signature one!

Charlotte Tilbury’s Instant Look of Love is also something to go gaga over. Anastasia Beverly Hills Modern Renaissance Eye Shadow Palette has its fan base, and you will turn into one as it is the perfect combination of bold and bright, garnished with subtle and nude colours.

Lips & Removal

How can we forget lipsticks and tints? Casablanca by Tom Ford and Dragon Girl by Nars are the two we recommend for you. Bobbi Brown Face Mist will help you set it all up at the very end.

Last but not least is the makeup remover; micellar water wipes or Cetaphil’s removal wipes work well for cleaning out and give you supple and rash-free skin. Use this as a guide for some of the best products on the market today for your makeup kit. Be sure to do your research and find the best products for you. Remember that you always want to look presentable and ready for the new season. Not someone who always lives in the past or can’t function during certain times of the year.
