Look 1 bright orange lip

Hi all
I thought of doing makeup look which is easy to do and is great for beginners and help them to achieve a put together look in a hurry. The products you will need is less ,so you can try it out before buying heaps of makeup. Its a beginners look.
This look can be used for running errands, evening night out and girls night out.

Things needed:
  1. Moisturizer
  2. lip balm
  3. foundation
  4. powder
  5. bright lip stick
  6. shimmer eyeshadow
  7. dark brown eyeshadow
  8. matte white color for highlight
  9. lip gloss    
  10. Liquid liner or gel eyeliner
Step 1:
Moisturize your face and neck. Apply lip balm on the lips.
I used my Palmer moisturize and nivea lip balm.

Step 2:
Apply foundation, a small amount is needed. If you need a full coverage use another layer of foundation. You can also use the foundation to conceal your problem areas. 
I used my Maybelline Fit me foundation in 320. 

Step 3:
Use a powder to set the foundation. If you want a dewy look don't apply the powder.
I like to use powder so my foundation last long and prevent the face becoming oily. I use Maybelline fit me powder in 310.

Step 4:
Fill in your eyebrows with the brown shadow. Apply the brown shadow in our crease to deepen your eyes. Then use the shimmer color in the center of the eyelid and inner part as well.
I used my my Urban decay naked palette 2 tease, copper and foxy for my eyes. 

Step 5:
Apply eyeliner on the upper and lowed lash lines.
I used Loreal gel eyeliner on my upper lash line and essence long lasting eyeliner in black on my lower lash line.

Step 6:
Apply loads of mascara for fuller and voluminous  lashes.
I used Australis voluptulash  mascara and Essence all in one mascara.

Step 7:
Use the lipstick as the blush and apply it on your cheeks and blend it in.
I used my Ultra3 lipstick in color red carpet.

Step 8:
Apply lipstick which must be a bright color which gives this look a pop of color.

Step 9:
Apply lip gloss on the center of the lip to give a pouty look.

Tada you are finished. Now lets see the finished look.







Hope you try this look out and write your comments.

Cheers

Review of BYS - An Australian Brand

" Life comes with ups and downs"
PP

Greetings everyone

This is a short and sweet review of two products from the Australian brand BYS. This cosmetic line provides affordable makeup like the NYX and ELF brand in America. If you are starting with makeup then try this brand for trails. The BYS products are worth the price and have a pretty good quality.

The two products which I am going to review are
1) BYS 18 color palette mix 1

The eyeshadow palette contains only shimmer colors. The colors vary from blues, pink, purple, gold and bronze shimmers. The eye shadows are quite pigmented and  has a creamy texture when applying. The best thing is they have less fall outs compared with other eye shadows. The shadows does not crease for 3 hours and has a nice sheen when applied less. The only disadvantage is that some eye shadows have a white shimmer to it so the color does not pop out. For example the coral, pink and pale blue color just shows as white shimmer which is not pleasing. Below I have swatches of the color white, baby pink, blue, gold, antique gold color and grey color. Out this most color look like white shimmer. 


2) BYS lipstick in naked rose L31

The lipstick is so creamy and butter like texture. This a nude lip color with a hint of pink to it. This color so looks so good on me and my perfect nude color.

I have been using this color for everyday makeup and loving it. Sometimes I top it with the pink lip gloss for more pinky lips. The lip stick does not have any smell to it. I have tries other color from the brand but did not like it. This is only color I prefer. I have also tried BYS shimmer pearls but I hated it. it had a chemical smell to and I did not even put it on my face. The worst product ever BYS shimmer pearls. 


BYS products can be bought from 
Top Bargain shops
Kmart

Verdict:
BYS 18 color palette - 2.5/5
BYS lipstick naked rose - 4/5

Will I repurchase it : No I would like to try other products. These are not my holy grail products.

Cheers :)
