Estee Lauder DayWear BB Cream Review

Hi there! Today I'll be sharing a quick review of the new Estee Lauder DayWear BB Cream in colour light. I've worn this several times during the past week in the crazy weather changes in Toronto, so I'll be able to give a quite comprehensive review base on their different climates/ humidity.

Estee Lauder DayWear BB Cream in colour Light

This foundation comes in 2 colours, Light and Medium. If you are not particularly light or dark skin tone, you'll be able to fit into one of the 2 colours. 

Bare skin!

This is me, out of the bed in the morning after about 5 hours worth of sleep. My skin has also been slightly rashy lately and gets red very easily.

After BB cream

The BB cream's coverage is light to medium. You are able to build on more products but it probably will not be high coverage by any means. If you put too much, it will become oily and your skin is likely to feel uncomfortable (happened to me).

Complete look

Sorry for the awkward picture but this is the best I could get before running out the door! I did not set the foundation, it was fairly cool and moderate humidity today.

This foundation does not do well with humidity unless you only have one very light layer on. Setting it with powder will do little for extending it's longevity.

5 hours later

Make up is sliding down my face as time goes by. Damn you gravity! haha!

After 6 hours

Here is the close up of my skin after 6 hours of application. There was very little makeup left. I would say that this BB cream can withstand about 3 hours of wear without looking crappy.

After 8 hours

This is me when I finally got home after a LONNNNNG day. I'm glad that it's the weekend tomorrow and I get to have more than 5 hours of sleep!

The makeup is basically gone from my skin and keep in mind that I do not have oily skin and stayed inside the climate controlled office all day long. 

Hi!

My hair was also getting very messy! 

Clearly what's remaining is my eyes makeup and little BB cream. The product itself though never claimed to be long lasting. It would say that this is best if you have fairly clear skin, that way you don't need to layer it on. The 2 existing colour they have in their line gives a nice natural finish and does not have the grey tint that some other BB creams do.

As usual,

Pros:

• Nice natural finish
• Sun protection of SPF 35
• Oil free
• Apparently its high in anti-oxidant

Cons:

• Very limited colour selection; Only comes in Light and Medium
• Light to medium coverage, to get medium coverage could be too much and eventually makes the skin looks oily and feels heavy

In general I quite like this product and will continue to use it. Though I wouldn't say that it is more unique than other products out there in the market as the anti-oxidant claim is hard to judge. You can get this product at Sephora or your local department stores and drugstores. 

Thank you and see you during the weekend for a YSL foundation review!

Simple Look with Red Lips

Hi all! I'm doing a simple look today featuring a bright red lip, suitable to day and night! :D It should take 5 to 10 minutes to complete this look.

Hiiiii!

Begin your face with a some sun screen, foundation and nicely filled in eyebrows. Some people prefer to do the eyebrows after the eye makeup, but I usually stay with the same brow shape that's why I like to do this step first.

Begin your eyes with an eyeshadow primer. In this case I would choose one that has shimmer in it.

Like so

Like usual, tight line your eyes with an eyeliner that does not smudge and oil/waterproof. I used to use the MAC Blacktrack Fluidline but lately I've been using the Physicians Formula eyeliner pencil to save time.

Close up

Tight lining makes your eyelashes appear fuller and gives the eye a more "awake" look.

UD NAKED Palette in colour Sin

Using a light shimmery colour with a fluffy brush, go across the eyelids in a windshield wiping motion.

UD NAKED Palette in colour Buck

With a matte brown colour eyeshadow and a pointed brush, lightly contour the outer corner of your eyes. You can choose a darker colour if you with to create a more dramatic look.

Progress so far..

Here comes the hard part! Winged eyeliner! Use a pencil liner to sketch a line first if you feel uncomfortable going in with a liquid liner straight away. Remember to always pick a liquid liner that is stiff to ensure more control.

With eyeliner

Draw the outer part of your eyes first and then the inner part. Make sure the eyeliner is thin in the inner corner. If you have bigger eyes than I do, feel free to go thick on the eyeliner.

Hello!!

YSL Rouge Pur Couture in colour N.1

This colour is surprisingly long lasting!

Benefit blush in Coralista

For a look like this, I recommend to go peach on the cheeks. Or bronzer as cheek colour would work perfectly as well!

Complete look!

Here are some other red colours that I would recommend to go with this look.

Back row: Rimmel Kate no.12; Revlon Colorstay no.375

Front row: Revlon Colorburst no.080; Rimmel Kate no.10

See you soon and have a great weekend!

Kim Hyuna Bubble Pop Inspired Tutorial

Today I'll be sharing an interesting look from Kim Hyuna, featured in her Bubble Pop album. She typically rocks the winged eyeliner and dark lash line, this is not a look that I usually go for but I figured that it will be fun for a night out!

Inspiration picture

Of course I look nothing like her and our features are quite different. With some makeup, I tried to create this makeup look on myself rather than trying to transform into Kim Hyuna.

Complete Look!

HAHA and I even tried to imitate her posture but clearly I need more practise!!! :P

BEFORE

Apply foundation and thicken your brows. Thicker brows are essential for a Korean inspired look! You can go as thick as you want, I'm just going to make mine fuller looking.

After Foundation + Brows

Next up, tight line! It may seem scary but the more you practise the better you become.

Essential makeup for this look..

Physicians Formula Eye Brightening Eyeliner; Maybelline Master Studio Eyeliner

Winged liner

Follow the natural curve of the eyes and wing out the line. This is what it will look like from the bottom

Accidental shot.. 

Line the water line and the outer part of the lash line with a pencil liner.

With the sparkly black shadow, use the tip of the flat eyeshadow brush and set the black liner on the lower lash line.

Again using the sparkly grey colour, apply some on the outer corner underneath the lower lash line. This will create a wide eye effect.

Progress so far...

Now onto the colours!

Apply a golden colour eyeshadow on the the 2/3 outer part of the eyelid.

With a blending brush (for lighter application), apply a pink colour to the inner corner.

Like so..

The look so far!

Because my face isn't as slim as Kim Hyuna's, contour is the key! 

NYC Sunny Bronzer

To complete this look, apply a pinky red lipstick on the centre of the lips and blend out with fingers. If you look closely at the picture, her lipstick does not end sharply at the edges.
