Givenchy Healthy Glow Powder Review

Hi there! Weather is getting cold isn't it? I hope everyone stays warm and try not to catch a cold!

Since I've been busy working and trying to stay indoors as much as possible, I've gotten back to my old skin colour. At least as close as it can be..

During the Givenchy & Fendi launch that I was invited to few weeks ago, I was given a goody bag and in it there was this wonderful Givenchy healthy glow powder. I put off using it for awhile but I finally gave it a try last week and I have not been able to complete my daily makeup without it since then.

Givenchy Healthy Glow Powder in 3 Ambre

There are 3 colours in this line, so if you have darker skin than I do, it might work as a gorgeous highlighter instead of a bronzer.

Comes in his beautiful case

Whenever I'm at work I have gotten compliment on how nice my skin looks. I'm sure it's a combination of the new foundation that I've been using and the glow that this product provides me with.

BEFORE

BEFORE CLOSE UP

As you can see that I am certainly lack in colour on my face, hence making it look rather flat and pale.

AFTER GIVENCHY HEALTHY GLOW POWDER

CLOSE UP

I use the ELF complexion brush to dust the powder across my cheeks, with the remaining I go across my forehead and sides of my nose.

Tarte Amazonian Clay Blush in Magic

To complete the look, I use a peachy pink blush and lightly go over the apples of my cheeks with the same brush. Sometimes I leave it as it is depending on the look I am going for.


Complete look with Blush

If you are thinking to get a glow during the colder months, you should definitely give the Givenchy Healthy Powder a go! I've been loving it and will definitely continue using it until I'm out!! :D:D

You can purchase this in store at Sephora or Sephora.com.

Bronze & Coral Makeup Tutorial

Hi everyone! Today I'm back with a summer themed makeup tutorial featuring bronzed eyes and coral lips!


Finish Look

Unfortunately my skin is not in its best condition and the pictures of myself are also not that great today.


I got frustrated!!


Before

Nontheless I'll still share this look with all of you :)


Sigma F80; Revlon Photo Ready Foundation in Nude

Like usual, prime your face with a primer/ moisturiser/ sunscreen and apply your favourite foundation. I am using the usual, although from time to time I do switch it up a little.


Physicians Formula Eye Brightening Eyeliner (Brown); Eye Strong Brow Pencil; Maybelline Falsies Mascara 

Tight line your eyes using the Physicians formula eyeliner pencil and groom brows like usual. 


NARS Soft Touch Shadow Pencil in Skorpios

Use a bronze colour base to prime your eyes. This will help to bring out the eyeshadow colours we are going to lay on later.


Tight lined + NARS Skorpios base


NAKED Palette (1)

Today I'll be using 3 colours from this palette, Smog (Dark Bronze), Sin (Shimmery Pinky Beige), and Virgin (Shimmery Beige). Feel free to use the eyeshadows you have in your collection. There is no need to buy this palette if you already have similar colours.


F21 Dual Ended Brush; Furless Blending Brush; ELF Eye Crease Brush; random Eyeshadow Brush

I really like the dual ended brush from Forever 21 but they no longer carry it in store. I bought this quite awhile ago now, although they constantly have new makeup tools, I'm not sure if the quality is similar to this one that I own. 


Base colour (Smog)

First, use the eyeshadow brush and pick up a dark bronze colour and apply it 3/4 across the upper lid and 1/3 of the lower lash line. Leave the rest clean for the next colour.


Apply Sin (Shimmery Pinky Beige) + Blended

Use the ELF brush to apply colour Sin and blend out with the Furless Blending brush using a bit of Virgin (Shimmery Beige) colour.



Completed Eyes 1

Line your upper lash line with the same Physicians Formula eye pencil and apply mascara.


Completed Eyes 2

We're almost there!


Canmake Powder Cheeks in PW19; Tarte Mineral Bronzer in Park Ave Princess

Use the dual ended brush and apply a coral blush and contour lightly with a bronzer for a sunkissed look.



Without lip colour

Apply your favourite coral lip colour, I'll be using Revlon Lip Butter in 015 Tutti Fruitti.

Tadahhhhh!

That's it for today :) I'll see you tomorrow again with another makeup tutorial!
