PRODUCT REVIEW- Revlon's Whipped Colorstay Foundation

ok i have been so skeptical on getting this product. i wasnt sure if it was anything like the covergirl mouse foundation. and i do not like that mouse foundation for me. (i do have acne scarring that i like to cover but not look cakey) so i tried this foundation and i must say. its BY FAR my favorite druge store foundation..it beats Revlon's Airbrush foundation. this foundation is so light and easily applied. and it did last about 12 hours without any spotting or anything. i did set mine with a matte powder just to give it a little more matte to my face. i will say though, its best when you let the foundation set into your skin before applying anything like a powder or blush. i did notice there wasn't alot of color choices, but the color i got for me was pretty much by guessing. it matches me perfectly actually. i got it in the color 'nude' and i must say im just overall pleased with this product.

Foundation Review!!! Revlon's Photoready Airbrush Mouse Foundation

So I recently purchased Revlon's Photoready Airbrush Mouse Foundation in the Nude color. And I must say I love it! This is probably the first foundation that doesn't leave that 'icky' sticky feeling on my face..it does feel like nothing is on. It's so light and easily blended..and it does cover a little..i'll probably give it a medium coverage. The only complaint I would have about it is that I would like for it to cover more than it does. But this is, so far, my favorite drugstore foundation.

It is an air-tight can, and the nosel or pump does come out pretty fast, so thats something to watch for. It comes out like a bubbly mouse. But once you flatten/deflate it down it is still light and you actually see that a little does go a long way with this foundation.

Vibrant Spice Eyeshadow

Hello lovely ladies! This is my look using the Vibrant Spice Eyeshadow Quad from Avon...I absolutely LOVE this quad..I love alot of Avon's eyeshadows, they are easily blended and just look fantastic =] I will also show you what other products I used to create this look...
                                                                                                                                Hope you like

LETS GET STARTED

First off I used my Hard Candy eyeshadow primer and applied all over my lid area and under my eye beneath the lower lashes.

For a base shadow I used the Maybelline Color Tattoo Eyeshadow in 25 Bad to the Bronze color. Applying it all over the lid area. You can use a lighter base color if you'd like, this is just what I used.

Time to add some color!! Of course this is where the Vibrant Spice Quad comes in.

• First I took a small flat brush and put the 'gold sand' color in the corner of my eyes and brough it down in the corner of my lower lash line as well.
• Now take that beautiful 'shimmering copper' color and aplly it in the middle of the lid, using the other side of that flat brush. Also taking that same color and using an angled brush and line the middle of the lower lash line blending it into the gold just a little.
• Take that 'lush lavender' color and apply it on the outer corners of your eyes sorta blending it with the copper. You can also blend it in the crease as well. Apply it in the corner of your lower lash line slightly blending with that copper and extending it out past your eye just a little.
• When you are satisfied with the eyeshadow look, take a fluffy blending brush and just blend out the top of the shadow to soften the look. We dont want any harsh shadow lines.
 



For the liner I used Revlon's Colorstay Liquid Liner. Only applying it on the top lash line.

 

To complete the look, I used my Voluminous False Lashes mascara by L' Oreal of course!

Applying it on the top and bottom lashes.

Brown Smokey'ish Eye

My favorite look for my eyes are smokey eye..i dont get too carried away with it however. As you can see its not so dramatic so it can be for an every day look. This is my brown/gold smokey-ish eye. Hope you like =]

Perfect Your Lip Shape

Hey! I know we all want to ''perfect'' out lip shapes. Here is a guide that could be useful.

Bring Out The Color Of Your Eyes Using Eyeshadow

Hey Ladies! So I would like to focus on highlighting the color of your eyes with certain eyeshadows. Many women want to highlight the color of their eyes and just don't know how to do it. The truth is that many times finding the right shade of makeup can make all of the difference. Brown eyes, blue eyes, green eyes, or hazel eyes, they all have makeup styles that can make those eyes really "pop" out.

Blue Eyes

If you have blue eyes there are several shadow shades that will work for you. Shades in the brown, rose and violet families work best generally. They will contrast with the cool tone of your blue eyes and make them stand out. It is also important to use shades that are darker in tone than that of your natural eye color. Try rich browns, golds, warm taupes, soft peaches, lavender, lilac and fuchsia. A common mistake is using blue shadow that is the same or very close to the natural eye color. This can make your eyes appear dull. To get a smoky effect mix your darker shadow with a little bit of black.

For eyeliner, go with a brown shade. Traditional black eyeliner will take away from your eyes. A dark or medium brown eyeliner will work better for blue eyes. Also, you might choose to use a darker shade of eye shadow as your liner instead of a liquid or pencil liner. This will give you a more "smudged" look. For mascara, use brown or brown/black mascara. The brown shade will open and brighten your eyes without drawing attention away from your beautiful color. If you can get away with black mascara, use it sparingly.

Green Eyes

Violet and plum eye shadow shades are best for green eyes. Warmer colors like deep purples, mauves, lilacs, and medium pinks are good choices. Browns will also look nice with green eyes. Try bronzes, golds, coppers, deep greens, peaches and apricots. Avoid cooler colors like silvers, blues, whites and pastels. These can give you a washed out look. Use lighter colors to highlight the brow bone (peach, taupe, and apricot). Darker shades should go on the crease of the eye (deep brown, deep purple, deep green) and medium shades are to be applied to the eyelid (copper, lilac, mauve). Softly blend the colors together to create a finished and smoky look.

For eyeliner, try a dark brown shade. Black eyeliner will be too harsh. For special occasions you could get a little fancy with gold or bronze liner. Your mascara should be brownish black also. Use black mascara sparingly.

Brown Eyes

Brown eyes are the easiest to compliment! This eye color can get away with all of those bright colors without look tacky. You can go with greens, golds, browns, pinks, blues, grays and purples. Earthy colors look great with brown eyes. Any shade of blue is going to look best with brown eyes. Cooler tones contrast well and make the eyes stand out. Choose a shade lighter than your eye color for a more natural and clean look. If you choose a shade dark you will appear more dramatic and sexy.

Black eyeliner will work nicely with brown eyes. It will give you a dramatic look and really make the eyes pop. Choose a darker liner in a shade that matches your eye shadow for a more subtle look. For example, a navy liner will compliment blue eye shadows. To make the eyes really stand out you can use a white liner on the inside of your bottom lid and a darker shade on the top lid. This can give you an "ethereal" look. This trick will also make small eyes appear bigger. Use some black mascara to open and brighten the eyes while highlighting their warm and rich tone

Hazel

Shades of pale pink, light purple and sheer blush look great with hazel eyes. Pair pink with purple shades and show off your girly side. Apply a deep, dark shade to your crease. Use a slightly upward and outward motion. Use some shimmer on your lids for an "everyday" appearance. This will make your whole look glow. Hazel eyes stand out with deep greens, lavenders and shades with soft yellow undertones. To bring out the gold in your eyes, choose golden based eye shadows. To bring out the green specks in your eyes choose a brighter green shade like emerald and apply in three different intensities. To bring out the blue specks in your eyes go with purple in three different shades. To highlight the brown base of your hazel eyes stick with natural shades of brown. This will give you that "doe-like" appearance.

For a stunning look pair all of these eye shadow choices with black eyeliner and mascara. To bring out the green and blue specks with a more natural look, go with soft natural shades paired with dark green or blue liner and black mascara
