Start off with a light dusting of pink eyeshadow. line your eyes with black gel eyeliner using an eyeliner brush. make sure you have a steady hand, because a light flick of the wrist will mess up your line.

Secrets behind Concealer and Under eye darkness.

Saggy dark bags under your eyes bringing you down?

-Take some tips from the experts.

Waking up in the morning can be drab, and you often wake up to see the sight of DARK BAGS AND UNDER EYE CIRCLES. no pain, no gain. I'm here to help.

Concealing dark under-eye circles.

It is important to have separate concealers for your eyes and imperfections

Concealers need to be at a certain tone lighter or darker than your skin tone. Putting an under eye concealer on a pimple or acne will only highlight the pimple and make it stand out. you don't want that!

for under eye concealers, use a shade that is two shades lighter than your natural skin tone. This will brighten up the eye area and use a concealer with a yellowish-gold undertone, because this will cancel out the dark tones.

-Using your fingers, or a concealer brush shown above, pat dots under your eye, and blend. The heat from your fingers will warm up the concealer and make it easier to blend. Don't forget to pat concealer near the corners of your eye and to the side of the bridge of your nose. This will brighten your face and create a wide awake

For imperfections like acne or scars, use a concealer that is exactly the shade of your skin.
REMEMBER, you're trying to camoflauge the pimple, not highlight it.

Using your fingers, or a brush, make an X on your imperfections and then blend.

If you have redness around your nose, don't worry! It's common. Just use your imperfection concealer in the corners of your nostrils and watch the redness disapear.

Trick: usings a translucent powder sets the makeup so it will stay put for the entire da

Tip:You can also find a highlighter for your under eye area that comes with a concealer like maybelliene's.

Sometimes the product will contain light refelecting pigments that bend light to make the skin look brighter. The human eye cannot see wrinkles. We see the shadows. A new H.O.T trend is to use these light-reflecting pigments which bend the light and eliminate the shadows we see, reducing the appearance of wrinkles. This also works with Dark undereye circles.

Would I buy again/buy full size products of what?

I'd but this product again- Definitely!

The products I love the most are:

Tarte smooth operator- Almost like a tinted moisturizer, smooth, and blends easily. It didn't make me break out ( nothing does, so mehh), didn't clog pores, looks natural, not cakey. Super creamy and luxurious. I love how its made of all natural and skin benefiting ingredients. That makes me feel better about what I'm putting on my face. The look was finished with Lorac perfectly lit and bare mineral's mineral veil. On those playful days I added a little shimmer form tarina tarantino's pink powder. I'm looking for a tinted moisturizer because foundation is too much for a thirteen-year old, and I think I've found it.

Lorac Perfectly Lit in Spotlight- looks natural and matte on my porcelain skin. It didn't look like i had alot of make-up on and virtually I didn't,( I like to go for the natural look). Good thing it was sheer and virtually invisible. Not cakey!

Bare minerals Mineral Veil- Sets your makeup, Reduces shine, Add slight shimmer to your face. It really has this 'perfecting' quality that illuminates your features and is the perfect * finish *. With a total face brush, I tapped the excess powder off and lightly swiped the products across my cheeks nose ( T- Zone, too) and chin.

Tarina Tarantino Sparklicity Pure- Its a light pink powder that highlights your cheek bones. Contains tons of sparkle- just like my personality. It looks beautiful on porcelain skin and its almost like bare mineral's mineral veil but it has a butt load of sparkles but not glitter, like the craft glitter you glue on on sheets of paper and make a mess with.

____________________opinions on the others_________________

Nars Orgasm Illuminator was a fav of mine because It gave my skin a flush of color and slight shimmer. SLIGHT SHIMMER ONLY! At first I was skeptic because, personally I'm afraid of blush. * don't you hate those teens who pat chunks of bright orange powder on the entire side of the cheek and walk around like it's flattering.*
- well, it's not, and since I've yet to master the concept of blush, I Stick to those super light shades of bronze-pink so my Porcelain skin doesn't look sun-burnt.
When i tried this out, I only need a small amount, and it look natural and quite pretty. I would buy again.

Tarte Natural cheek Stain in Glam -smelled magnificent, but was a little hard to blend. Since I haven't mastered powder blush, cream blush is 10x harder. I will not give up because I love tarte and I am convinced it will become my next Beauty Fav.


Lorac Lip gloss- It add a boost of pretty gold=bronze color to your lips with tons of flirty sparkles. I love how its looks 3D. Literally.

Sephora Electric Eyeliner - It was okay, pretty color, pretty shimmer, and pretty smooth when applied.

Tarte Lock and Roll- was confusing on how to use it correctly and make it look good. I will soon master it :), over-all pretty color and quality.

Josie maran Bronzing Argan Oil.-
Argan oil is a miraculous, and marvelous oil that accentuates the beauty and health of your skin. It is from derived the nut of the Argan tree, and is very beneficial for the health of skin, hair, and NAILS!. When mixed with a tinted moisturizer it adds a boost of hydrating powers and evens out skin tone. Now It's bronzing! This version of the amazing Original really does what it says. It bronzes. It doesn't look orange- and Trust me, I was skeptic. It adds a slight color to your skin and looks completely natural, and its really good for the winter. My only prob. is the smell. It's a little stinky but the pros outweigh the cons.
