Smokey Eye Makeup Tutorial

Hooded lids is a common problem among Asians. It just makes applying makeup a challenge! I for one, have always dreamed of having deep set eye lids for a more dramatic makeup look for tutorials, nevertheless, I am contented with what I have. It actually brings more adrenaline since applying makeup becomes a challenge!

This Smokey Eye Makeup Look is perfect for night parties and evening events as it accentuates the eyes giving a bold look. This is definitely not only for girls with hooded lids, this can also be applied to those with deep set eye lids observing application of the eyeshadow to the outer v and crease.

Products Used:

San San Concealer in Natural

Maybelline Clear Smooth All In One Shine Free Cake Powder Foundation in Honey

BareNaturals Review Series: Mineral All Over Glow (Precious)

Bare Naturals Mineral Illuminizer Mineral All Over Glow in Precious

"A flattering cream beige color that looks so natural. For fair to light medium skin tone."

Pros:

Perfect Highlight shade for my skin tone

Naturally highlights my cheekbones

Gives a Radiant Glow to the face

Impressive Pigmentation: A Little goes a Long Way

Organic, Healthy & Natural

No Harmful Chemicals

Philippine Made

Cons:

Diifficult to pick out product from small sized packaging

Verdict:

Personally, the same opinion I mentioned with their Mineral Blush and Foundation, I would definitely repurchase this product in a larger sized packaging for easier application. I love how it illuminizes my face without making it seem fake, it gives me a natural radiant glow that makes the face look younger. The product itself looks so pretty! The shimmer looks to shining, shimmering and splendid! From the packaging (photo posted above), it really shows how the product really does reflect to light, thus giving a great looking highlight on the face. Pigmentation is great as a little product goes a long way. Overall, this product is great for everyday  as it achieves a "no makeup" makeup look.

BareNaturals Review Series: Mineral Blush (French Kiss)

BareNaturals Mineral Cosmetics Mineral Blush in French Kiss

"French Kiss, a charming, natural looking matte baby pink, ideal for fair to medium complexions"

Pros:

Perfect Natural Flush for my Skin Tone

Fine & Silky

Impressive Pigmentation: A Little goes a Long Way

Contains Zinc Oxide that Helps dry up Pimples

Organic, Healthy & Natural

No Harmful Chemicals

Philippine Made

Cons:

Diifficult to pick out product from small sized packaging

Verdict:

Personally, I would definitely repurchase this product in a larger sized packaging for easier application. I am very much interested in trying out a lot of their shades since they offer a wide array of shades for different skin tones. This blush is mineral, therefore pigmentation is great as a little goes a long way when applying the product. What I love most is how it gives me the perfect natural flush to my cheeks that makes it seem that I did not apply any mineral blush on. It gives me a nice touch of pink to my cheeks which I really like. Overall, this blush really impressed me, not only because it is healthy, natural and organic, but it also gives good color payoff and a natural look to my face.

BareNaturals Review Series: Therapeutic Skin Perfecting Mineral Foundation

BareNaturals Review Series: Therapeutic Skin Perfecting Mineral Foundation

Therapeutic Skin Perfecting Mineral Foundation

(Golden Neutral Light)

Pros:

Perfect Shade for my Skin tone

Fine & Silky

Sets concealer well & does not cake

Flawless Finish
Contains Zinc Oxide that Helps dry up Pimples
Contains Allatoin that Soothe & Repair Skin Tissue

Natural "No Makeup" Look
Natural UVB & UVA Protection

Organic, Healthy & Natural

No Harmful Chemicals: No Talc, Bismuth & Boron

Philippine Made

Cons:

Diifficult to pick out product from small sized packaging

Verdict:

Personally, I would definitely repurchase this product in a 5g packaging, for easy application when picking out product from it's container since the it is very difficult to pick out product from the 2.5g packaging that I have. The texture is very fine thus it really gives me a flawless finish. I really love the fact that I was able to choose to perfect shade for my skin tone (Golden Neutral Light), since it really looked so natural that it's as if I do not have any makeup on.

I'm looking forward to use this more when it comes to setting the liquid foundation on my face as a finishing powder.

PIMPLE VANISHER The concealer/ corrector that hides pimples and dries them really FAST! What’s good about it, it helps to prevent further skin scarring! It will absolutely take care of post hyperpigmentation from acne! It has vitamin B3, a proven effective natural skin lightener! It doesn’t go cakey and has this smooth finish!

Pimple Concealer & Corrector

Pros:

Yellow Undertone

Contains Salicylic Acid

Anti-acne properties

Organic, Healthy & Natural

No Harmful Chemicals

Not Cakey

Philippine Made

Cons:

Light Coverage but buildable when layered

Bright Eyes Concealer

Pros:

Yellow Undertone

Contains Vitamin B3 that lightens undereyes

Organic, Healthy & Natural

No Harmful Chemicals

Not Cakey 

Philippine Made

Cons:

Sticky Consistency

Verdict:

Personally, I would definitely repurchase this product because of its anti-pimple and undereye lightening properties. I find it amazing that a makeup product can have skincare properties and it is my first time to encounter such. There may be other concealers sold in the market with fuller coverage, however, they contain harmful chemicals that may cause premature aging to our skin. Nevertheless, this product is very much buildable, therefore, desired coverage can be achieved when applied generously.
