My Eid Makeup !

Hello Girls!

Eid Mubarak<3 Hope you had a great Eid with your family as I did. I checked the comments and there was lonely comment requesting my makeup look for Eid. I wish I knew who was the annonymus who left the comment to thank her ,because she made my day :**** So I decided to try my best and do my first face chart =D I totally love thed looked and applied it twice the same day coz I took a nap! But both the times the makeup looked neat and lovely "prettier than the face chart, I wish I could put pictures of the real makeup but I can't"

So  I wore a muddy green dress "Olive color" and I just had my eyebrows tinted so I didn't want to wear heavy makeup and decided to go with soft shades.

1) I used Too Faced Shadow Insurance  "glitter glue" to keep my e/s from creasing. It's AMAZING! My e/s was perfect didn't smudge or fade<3 The difference between this primer and the other one from the previous post "Candlelight" is that the one I used for Eid is for loose and shimmery e/s.

2) I applied the champagne color all over my lid and applied the color bellow it into the crease ,to intensify the look I added the darkest color in the quad into the crease and blended it out.

3) I needed to intensify the color more by adding carbon e/s (any black color will work) to the crease and BLENDed the colors together! Don't add to much of the black e/s, because you want to keep the look soft and you don't want to lose the brown color.

4) To soften the harshness of the edges  I add some crystal avalanche to the brow bone and blended it out. I applied  Bobbie Brown's eyeliner in black.

After I applied Amani's eyest to kill mascara and poped MAC's no 36 eyelashes. I applied 17 wild curl in Black Brown "avaiable at boots" to my bottom lashs.

For my face I used Too Faced primer (applied it only on the T-zone) and applied on top dior's foundation

 "Forever" ,which is for oily skin ( Extreme wear). To cover my dark circle under my beautiful eyes :p I used MAC's studio finish concealer.

I used Chanel bronze univesal to my cheeks( YOU MUST MAKE THE FISH FACE) to  know where is your cheek bones =D and than added some blush on the apple of my cheecks (sunset Beach by Cargo) it's pinky and peachy!

The final step was to put lip pencil and lipstick ON.

Here is my first face chart, it looked waaaaay better on my ,didn't know how to do it , but I promise I will practice  more (A)

Hope who ever requested my Eid look was satisfied and liked it and hope that all of you enjoyed it as well. Next post will be about second day of Eid !

If someone has a blog please comment and leave your link, I would like to check your blogs =D Thank you guyz so much you really make me happy.

Hello Dolls <3

Hope you are having a great week, bcoz I'm having a fab week =D

So this post is about spicing up your makeup for EID <3 For Eid I love wearing makeup that won't change through the day and easy to retouch =D

Here are few products that I like to use to make my makeup looks extra special for Eid or any other occasion

So lets start with my favorite trick to make my makeup looks done professionally by adding eyelashes you make your eyes looks sexier and bigger! My favorite eyelashes are by MAC I love no.7 bcoz it looks natural "don't forget the glue if you are getting eyelashes for the first time". It might take time to know how to apply them easily ,but it's totally worth the try!

 Here is a link of how to apply false lashes HERE!

I never like my makeup to get oily or to just disappear! I like to control people, makeup,hair and if I can the universe! So in order to control my e/s I like to use primer to make it stay for a very long time until I decide to remove it. The best product that will allow you to do this is Too Faced Shadow Insurance in Candlelight, which is anti-crease eye shadow primer. It used to be sold out all the time ,but lately Sephora decided to be generous enough and get more stock <3

Another product that doesn't make my  face makeup VANISH is Too Faced Primed & Poreless. It holds your face makeup in place all day ,which is PERFECT for Eid "kissing people on the cheeks makes me nervous".I like to keep my makeup on my face not on others =D. In addition, this product has vitamins that are good for your skin and acts like retinol!

If you like lip gloss Inglot's 544 is by far my favorite lip-gloss. I always recommend this lip-gloss it's natural pink. My go to lip-gloss.

Kinda Sexy is one of favorite lipsticks its looks amazing with any look. Suitable for any skin tone. Check my other post for other  lipstick colors.

My favorite bronzer is Bronze Universel it's creme bronzer and looks natural. I love it <3

You have to spice up your nails by either applying  nail application on all of your nails or only on your ring finger with matching color. Available at Sephora!

LAST product is a perfume by Armani "Rose Alexandrie" OPPS misspelled it in the picture =$ My Sister Beeba loves this perfume and she spent the last year looking for this perfume ,but now Salam sells it =D It's floral and I have to admit its smells cute <3 I got mine try it and you will fall in love with it! And it stays for long time =D

If you have oily skin try using blotting sheets to obsorb the oils and make your face look fresh , you can brush some lose poweder on your T. Zone for more freshness. Using these blotting sheets before powdering your face doesn't make your face look cakey and you don't want look like clown believe me. Any other brand will work mark spencer has a good blotting paper and if you can get clean and clear that would be greate ummm i think boots sells some.

Have a nice Eid everyone <3 Spend your time with your loved ones and try to enjoy each minute of Eid ,but most important try to donate dresses and shoes  or whatever you don't need for the poor = ) And finally try to smile even if you feel sad or missing someone =))))Smiling gives you a beauty that  even makeup can't give ;)

P.S: Feel free to tweet me a request or comment your request I would be more than happy to help you since I have nothing to do for Eid I'm ready BRING IT ON =D

Hello!

I’m back with a new post =) Here is what in my sister’s bag <3 Beeba is my older sister and who made me fall in LOVE with makeup. She is makeup ADDICT =) like me and not afraid of trying new products and colors. I’m sorry not all of the products available in Qatar, but the good news is most of them available in MAC, Sephora and Salam.

Recommendations:

I would recommend most of these products because I use them too:

1)      Crystal avalanche one of my favorite highlighters mine is almost out *scared*.

2)      Sensai eyeliner is my favorite eyeliner I got my second one yesterday I thought I should get new pen since I bought mine 4 years ago (A). However, you can refill it instead of buying one.

3)      Armani blush is great blush has loads of tiny tiny tiny shimmer, not very visible.

4)      Guerlian has great colors and kinda pricy but it’s worth it.

Starter Kit #1: Too Faced "Naked Eye"

Hello gorgeous!!

Finally, I came back with a new posting! Today I’m going to talk about one of my favorite makeup “eyeshadows “  palette, which is Too Faced’s  Naked Eye<3 I love this palette bcoz of this NINE different shades (matte, satin and frost ). It has nude colors and dark, so its soft and sexy as they acclaim ;D Also, the names are so fabulous and sexy (A). There 3 cards that suggests THREE different looks (talk about chic and cheap)! The three looks are DAY, CLASSIC and Fashionable look. However, you can mix and match the 9 colors not all of them at the same time (that’s going to be a total MESS) or wear them individually. Most important thing its cost less than 200 QR and you can carry it in your bag and easy to pack! You can transform your eye makeup from daytime look into smoky glamorous night look using only this palette.

Here are the swatches

You can purchase Too Faced products from Sephora Landmark or Villagio. Hope you liked this post and wait for the next one coming tomorrow it’s all about EID!!

Inglot Freedom System Blush

Here you can take a look at the blushes available as Inglot’s Freedom System. All of these shades are matte (in the picture below), but there are some with tiny shimmer which is really hardly visible so I think these blushes are great for someone who doesn’t like shimmery blushes or if you have oily skin (you don’t need the extra shine believe me). Inglot offers almost 40 shades, which gives you the chance to choose the color that screams YOU! You can make your own palette with this system or mix and match other products. Also, the pigmentation is GREAT! I have been using these blushes for the past three or four years <3 <3 Here are the numbers of the following blushes:

Coral >Freedom Blush 29 (Looks amazing with cat eyes and pale lips)

Brown> Blush 22 (Clash this natural color with bright lips<3 <3)

Fleshtone> Blush 28 (Wear it with pink lips bright or pale)

Baby pink> Blush 20 (Pair it with nude lips!)

You can buy this at :

Hyatt Plaza Gate 1
Doha State of Qatar
phone: +974 77243323

Try to clash your blush with your lipstick if you aren’t wearing eye makeup or clash it with your eye makeup if you are wearing dark smoky eye. Try not to mix and match your makeup not that HOT! Another tip: tap your brush before applying your blush to your cheeks. If you feel that you applied way too much blush sweep your cheeks with lose powder to make it look natural.

Don’t go crazy with the blush it’s about looking shy and virtuous not CRAZY!!

Summer trends : Nail Polishes

Hi!

First, let me thank my friends for supporting me and following my posts I really appreciate it <3 <3 <3 And thanx Nayoola for posting a comment, keep it up Nayoola (A) (A)

I’m obsessed with nail polishes, because it’s allows you to express yourself and be make statements, but without looking “CRAZY” let’s leave the craziness to Lady Gaga she is mastering it ;p jk.  So this summer trends are all about wearing bright, playful and colorful, but you still can rock some dark colors. Don’t be afraid of adding your own signature style to the trend. It’s nice to keep up with the new trends, but it’s more fun and unique to add your own sense of style to it. There are few colors that are noticeable this summer and lots of celebrities were spotted wearing one of the following colors:

1)      ROYAL BLUE: A rich, opaque bluish purple shade that looks equally chic on fingers and toes. Dating A Royal by OPI is great example of royal blue nail polish. It’s classy and trendy, but make sure that your nails isn’t too long.

2)     Sea Foam Green

This creamy pale mint shade is a subtle, more wearable iteration of last season's green polish trend, which was flashier. Example: OPI’s Gargantuan Green Grape, it’s daring and fresh.

3)     Electric Red

Red looks elegant year-round, but during this summer months brighten up with red  with orange undertones.

Example : OPI’s Keys To My Karma is a classic bright red.  

4)     Bright Orange

Nothing looks better with a tan than a vibrant pop of sleek orange nail polish. Example:  OPI’s In My Back Pocket is a great bright orange that looks amazing on glowing/healthy skin “don’t go jersey shore crazy with the tan”.

5)     Turquoise

 Azure for Sure by OPI is a great example of turquoise for this summer. Turquoise is the most worn color by celebrities. It’s shouts summer 2011 !!  Again its looks better with short nails, because it won’t look too much.

6)Deep Purple

From lilac to violet, there are a slew of purple polishes out right now, but for this summer we recommend this pretty, rich lavender hue best.  Example: OPI’s A Grape Fit!

6)     Canary Yellow

This sunny shade will instantly brighten up your summer look.

 Example: OPI’s Need Sunglasses? is one of my favorite yellow, it’s not glittery “perfect”. I believe  glittery orange/yellow nail polishes are tacky and cheap =S stick to the matte glossy ones for these two colors.

7)     Fruit Punch

A playful pinky-red tone that's perfect if you like to work a matching mani-pedi.

8)    Fuchsia:

If hot pink just isn't bold enough for you, try this shimmery or matte magenta lacquer. OPI’s Miami Beet is a great color to wear for this summer.

9)     Glitter :

You can either wear it on all of your fingers or only on the “ring finger”. It’s one of the trends for this summer to make one of your finger pop by wearing different color or design.  OPI has one or two in each collection so get the glittery nail colors once you find it.

Example : I lily love you is a pink glitter similar to Teenage dream , but with coral glitter. It’s from the recent collection and might find it at Nazih.

10) Neon

Eye-popping shades of green, blue and pink are everywhere this summer. These colors have a matte finish with just a hint of shimmer. Example :  OPI’s My Chihuahua Bites! Don’t get the glittery ones again its cheap.

11)  Juicy Pink

Pink polish is a summer staple and we're loving this universally flattering hue, which has hints of coral. Example: OPI Feelin' Hot Hot Hot!

I almost own all of these colors and I love wearing them !! OPI is my favorit brand for nail polishes <3 <3  They sell OPI in Nazih store located in Algharafa street , Al Nasser and Salwa road. In Villagio they have stand in front of H&M = ) hope you liked this post and I'm going to post other trends later today.

Mascara 101 *serious talk*

Hey guyz =D

I'm so excited =D, coz a lot of my friends "three" or maybe "five"  on twitter are reading my posts and they are asking me to write about makeup !!! WOOOHOOOOOOO three girls *dancing*  P.S I don't mean to brag =/

 suggested ( I do follow lot of makeup artist on youtube for the past 3 years). I chose two MAC ones , two drugstore (boots or lifestyle) and high end ones(more expensive). If you don't care about the price go for the more expensive or just go with the drugstore mascaras,which are AMAZING!Lets Start:

Anyway let’s talk about mascaras *nerd* I chose six mascaras that I love and makeup artist 

Finally, if you were looking for two steps drama go for the MAC HAUTE & NAUGHTY Mascara. If  prefer for the one step try either the zoom lash or Diorshow blackout (which is blacker, I prefer it). If you have thick eyelashes try the Armani ( SALAM sells it) bcoz its makes you eyelashes very long, even better than the dior.So, find the one you like and suits your style !

Eyeliner 101

Eyeliners are the most essential item in my daily makeup routine. Eyeliners can give you different look depending on the type of the eyeliner you use or the technique you adapt. The problem with eyeliners that it doesn’t suits all of us, because we have different types of skin. However, God bless MAC and other makeup brands they solved our problem by giving us variety of eyeliners. So let’s start by explaining the types of eyeliner and which skin type it suits.

1)      Gel/crème eyeliner: It goes on smoothly giving you the control of a pencil with the density of a liquid liner. This type of eyeliner is forgiving, because you can wear it soft and smudged and look penciled or strong and bold and look liquid-lined. It is easy to control gel/crème eyeliners.  Its suits all skin types and if you have oily skin you can smudge powder eye shadow on top of your gel eyeliner. MAC fluidline and Bobbie Brown are gel/crème liners

2)      Liquid liners: It takes more time to figure out how to use liquid eyeliner, because it’s simply messy!! Unless it comes in a pen form like the Kanebo one. If you like being dramatic go for liquid eyeliner, because it’s gives you harsh/perfect look. With more practice you will be able to use it like a PRO =D and the most amazing thing it matches all skin types and no need for any eye shadow. However, once you messed up your eyeliner you are DONE you have to redo it.

Moving on to this picture where we have 4 eyeliners (starting with the right side of the swatches):

1)      Mac Fluidline (Blacktrack): My favorite eyeliner of the four if I have time to be creative and the pigmentation is great for a gel liner. It doesn’t dry fast, which gives you time to fix it. Another thing some artists use it as a base for their shadows.

2)      Bobbie Brown (Black Ink): The texture is drier than MAC so it dries fast. Also it doesn’t give you the chance to fix as MAC’s. It takes longer to apply than MAC’s because you keep going back to the pot and adding on you line to make it darker (low pigmentation). It comes with a cute eyeliner brush that works well with the texture of the product.

3)      Lancome Traceur Matic: It’s great if you are wearing a heavy makeup such as wedding makeup, because it’s so heavy that it can cover they fake eyelashes. The color is to die for very dark black “go ask your mom about this eyeliner =) all moms in Qatar used it”. Recently, they changed the bottle few times so don’t worry it still has the same formula but matter.

4)      Kanebo Liquid liner “REFILL”: Ok if you are late and don’t have the time for eyeliner malfunction or drama this eyeliner is the one for you. It is like using pen to draw on your eyes. I refilled it 3 times  and I still love it <3 <3 <3 <3 In this picture I got the wrong refill from Thailand and another brand, but I’m going to ( Sephora, 4U, Faces, Salam,maybe boots) to get the black ink for it.

So guyz I hope I helped you by rambling about few of my favorite eyeliners. Personally, I believe purchase either the MAC or Kabebo or both they cost less than 200 QR and they work great.

Top 10 MAC Matte Lipstick

Today I'll be featuring my top 10 MAC matte lipsticks, because matte is my favorite finish. This is great for those of you who want to build your own personal collection or you want to try matte colors these colors are good starting point. All these colors are not limited edition ,which is GREAT if you want to purchase it and MAC is available in Qatar ,which another great thing.

I’m categorizing the lipsticks by the shade:

 -Taupe: It is deep and neutral brownish lipstick. One of my favorite colors if I’m going for a daily /natural look. If you were looking for darker nude/beige color this is the one to get. If you feel that honey love or velvet teddy are make you pale or washed out taupe is great color to rock nude lips for darker skin tone.



 -Velvet Teddy: It is pinked beige. Looks amazing with both natural and smoky eye look, because the pink undertone doesn’t make you like a walking zombie.



- Honey Love: Neutral light honey beige color. Looks amazing with smoky eye, natural day look and colored eyes. You might believe that velvet teddy is similar to honeylove ,but it’s not. Honeylove is lighter and more pinkish than velvet teddy.

-Diva: First, you have to be a DIVA to rock this lipstick! The right attitude will compliment the lipstick *serious voice*. It's a red burgundy matte lipstick, perfect for work days with neutral eye shadow “Brule or Kid by MAC is a good e/s to pair it with”. This lipstick can be called multiracial! Both white and black sistas can pull this color.



-Ruby Woo: Amazing red, matte lip - classic and sexy! Amazing for pin-up look <3 If you are related to Edward Cohen you can pull this color easily, coz this color works amazing with pale skin. You can wear it with retro look <3 to die for.



 -Chili: Let’s put it this way whenever I wear this lipstick people love it and ask for its name. I remember the lady from the MAC store asking about it. It has a warm orange undertone and it goes best with other warm tones. However, doesn’t look flattering on pale ladies get your tan on before wearing chili. So pasty ladies keep your hands off this color </3.



 -Marrakesh: A warm auburn (reddish) brown shade. It has orange undertones so it is NOT like Chili. It’s way darker. It’s going to be discontinued so find your tube ASAP!!


-Pink Plaid: A medium, blue toned pink that doesn't look mauve or bubble gum toned. It’s perfect for the Barbie look! And looks amazing of tanned skin tone. Pair it with neutral eye, or any cool toned shadows, purples, brown, black smoky, silver, etc.



 -Please Me: It’s a pale muted pink. Looks amazing for day look and its more natural than pink plaid, because it warmer and peachy. Looks absolutely divine on blondes or brownish hair with either red or gold undertones.



 -Kinda Sexy: A fleshy/coral/muted pink tone. Simply amazing! Wear it with a beige/brown blusher and black eyeliner and you are good to go. I’m almost out of this color and that means that I love it, coz I never finished a lipstick.

Hope you enjoyed it <3

Lipstick

Almost all girls go through lipstick DRAMA!! There are quite categories to choose from such as lipstick finish and lipstick shade. I believe in order to find your perfect lipstick you have to look for the finish that you like. It took me pretty long time to find mine, which is MATTE. It will take you more time to figure your favorite lipstick finish that looks good on YOU “ not all colors or finishes suits everyone’s complexion or type” and then it will become easier to figure out your favorite shades. So this is short summary of all the Mac lipstick finishes = )

MAC lipstick comes in nine different finishes:


 Amplified and Amplified Creme: These two are in the same “family” – both are soft and creamy, have a medium-to-high level of pigment and coverage, with a glossy finish. I think the difference is that Amplified Cremes are… creamier (to state the obvious).


 Cremesheen: They are, as the name suggests, creamy and glossy. They are also well pigmented.


 Dazzle: Very glittery – each lipstick has “micro-glitter” particles in it, so they have a very sparkly finish. I think the glitter in these is even more concentrated than in the Dazzleglass glosses, so if you like very high-impact, glittery lips these are for you( I like to call it “Batani Style”).


 Frost: These lipsticks are quite sheer, and always shimmery. It’s perfect finish if you are seeking Kim Kardashian’s look or for a dark smoky eye.


 Glaze: Very sheer and translucent. These are very subtle, extremely low coverage, and can almost just look transparent. Glazes are best layered over other lipsticks. If you can’t find a certain color in either amplified crème or cremesheen buy it matte and pop some glaze on it “they aren’t shimmery, but glossy”.


 Lustre: These have a glossy, wet-look finish, and quite a good color payoff. The good thing about luster that they aren’t shimmery they have ZERO glitter ,which I love.


 Matte: Quintessential matt lipstick. As with most matt products they tend to be drying on the lips, but have great color payoff, pigmentation and coverage. However, if you don’t have dry lips and God blessed you with conditioned, soft and lovely lips you don’t need to worry about it chipping .


 Satin: Think matt with a teeny tiny bit of gloss. Like matt lipsticks, they are highly pigmented, give great coverage and are long-lasting, but unlike matt they are not too drying.


Sometimes the distinctions between each category are very insignificant, and so take the classifications with a pinch of salt. They are however, a pretty useful guide to choosing lipsticks if you have no idea where to start!
