Products for this post were provided by Revlon. All opinions are my own.
Balancing a red lip, or any bold lip color, can be a challenge. Ideally you want to keep the eyes, and the rest of the makeup, simple so all the focus goes to the lip. Conversely, if you are wearing a dark, smoky eye the same idea applies: you want to keep the lips neutral.
My beauty tip when wearing a bold lip? Keep everything else simple. This applies to jewelry, makeup, wardrobe, etc. Your lips with “do the talking” so don’t let anything else that you are wearing take away from the impact!
I recently tried out a few products from Revlon and used some in the look I’m showing in the photo. My goal was to have the lips be the emphasis and keep the eyes relatively simple. My eyes get lost without at least a little bit of makeup, so I aimed for neutral browns and softer liner.
The Revlon ColorStay Whipped™ Crème Makeup foundation provides excellent coverage. If you are a full coverage kind of gal, this makeup is for you. It comes in a glass container and you can either use your fingers, a brush, or a sponge to get the product out. I’m wearing the shade 150 Buff. I set it with some translucent powder just to keep shine away.
I really liked the beige and brown colors in the Revlon ColorStay™ 16 Hour Eye Shadow Harmonious palette. Keeping the eyes simple, I used the beige color on my brow bone and the brown color in my crease. And the staying power was impressive, as per usual with the Revlon ColorStay line. No creases or smudges. I did use my eye shadow primer, like usual, so that helps make sure the eye shadow will go nowhere!
When I’m looking for definition without too much darkness with my liner, I grab a grey one. I used the Revlon ColorStay™ Eye liner in charcoal liner along my lower lash line, and the black liner along my upper lash line. I love that these are waterproof so I don’t have to worry about them fading away during the day.
Finally, I finished the look with the Revlon ColorStay Ultimate Suede™ Lipstick in Finale. It looks a little pinker in the tube than it actually wears. I’ve found it to be quite red. This long wear lipstick doesn’t flake or dry out, and I like the moisturizing and soft formula. I chose a simple outfit of jeans and a white sweater to keep the rest of the “whole look” simple.

I’d love you to share the best way to make a hairstyle last all day. My curls fall flat within an hour or two. [email protected]

Love the eyeshadow here! I’m a very neutral kind of gal, so this is right up my alley! My favorite beauty trick, that I only use for special occasions, is to slightly heat my eyelash curler with the blow dryer before curling my lashes, gives my eyes a wide awake look!
Loose face powder can be a good hair root degreaser in a pinch when you don’t have the proper hair products 😉

My beauty tip:
Always apply your eyeshadow before you apply eye liner.
[email protected]
After applying eyeliner on the lower lash line, use a concealer brush to add a thin line of powder below the eyeliner. This will keep it from traveling downward, it will stay put all day!
[email protected]
Anytime I really need my eyelashes to stay curled, I heat my curler with a blowdryer and then hold it a little longer before applying mascara!

Gorgeous! I need to try a red lip sometime!

I have been obsessed with wearing a red lip lately! Love the classiness it gives…
Xo,
Sincerely Miss Ash
I just bought some of that lipstick (different color) this past weekend..and REALLY liked it…off to buy that color!
My favorite beauty secret is for highlighted hair. My stylist told me if I wanted to brighten my blonde before it was time to get them redone then all I needed to do was wash my hair with baking soda. IT WORKS!!! It made my hair look like it had just been done. It took out all of the gunk without stripping my hair. [email protected]
I love setting my makeup with a quick brush of Tarte Amazonian Clay finishing powder. It makes my foundation looks flawless the whole day!
[email protected]
Instead of simply clamping my eyelashes in a curler, I hold them near the roots and tilt the curler back; it curls them away from your eye for a more wide-awake look. Thanks for the great giveaway!
My favorite beauty secret is for us fair skinned, fair haired girls. I love wearing black liner for definition, but lining my whole eye just looked overdone and slightly trashy to me. I discovered that wearing a black liner on top, but a soft brown underneath gave just the right amount of definition without looking overdone. LOVE it! [email protected]
I love lipgloss, but hate how sticky it can get. I always apply chapstick first, then the gloss. I get the same amount of shine/moisture/tint, but not the tacky, sticky feeling! [email protected]
I don’t wear make-up very often but what I’ve found is not to wear ANY, bright shadow. (Actually I wear vertually no shadow at all.)
[email protected]
Favorite tip.. to highlight the inner corner of the eyes.. makes such a difference!
henrysmt (at) Hotmail (dot) come
One beauty tip I have to constantly remind myself of is that HOW you apply makeup makes a huge difference. I tend to get a heavy hand when applying eyeshadow. I always remind myself to hold the brushes a little loose!
I love this lipstick look! I may have to try this out!

That lipcolor is gorgeous! I’ve been looking for a softer red for work and I think this just might be it.

I’m excited to try that lip color! I’ve been looking for a red that would work well for fair skin. My favorite tip is to put a little bit of white eye shadow in the inner corners of my eyes- it makes me look a little more awake 🙂

I just learned how to repair broken powder compacts! I used to just throw the leftover edges out but – thank you pinterest – I know you can crush them and mix them with rubbing alcohol. Once you put them back into the compact and let it dry it’s like brand new! It’s also a fun way to mix old eyeshadow colors into a new unique hue that only you own!
I have no idea why my name doesn’t show up – but I’m Ashley ashley.vw.clark at gmail dot com
Beauty tip: Use a highlighter product on your cheek bones–it makes such a difference!
Email: megpalmer808(at)gmail(dot)com
my beauty tip is to not use cleansers on your face. I simply use a very warm/hottish rag, maybe some vaseline to remove the eye makeup and then a moisturizer.
My beauty secret: Use a clean mascara wand with hairspray to brush, style (and tame) your eyebrows. Beauty secret I would love to learn: How do you use dry shampoo? I tried the powder once, but it turned into a messy powder mess. My email: [email protected]

Which beauty tip do I love? Your natural hair looks best air dried, on the second day unwashed. I comb my hair in the shower to and just no messing with it! Keeps all the frizzies away

My beauty secret is homemade sugar scrubs. I mix sugar and extra virgin olive oil and some essential oil. Peppermint oil for mornings to perk me up, and orange or lavender for evening to sooth my senses. I use this scrub on my whole body. My skin feels amazing and my face definitely has a glow after I do a scrub! hdelacruz15 @ gmail
My beauty secret: mascara before and after eyeshadow!
My Beauty Secret is to mix a little bit of baking soda to my shampoo 🙂 Makes my hair shiny, non-frizzy and I can go longer than a day without washing it. GREAT for my blonde hair !!

Sleep and a smile make a face beautiful!! Thanks! Photosfromjme at gmail for com.
my favorite beauty tip is to apply sunscreen daily, even in the cloudy rainy days. it’ll protect skin from a lot of damage..
[email protected]
Always apply eye make before your foundation. It helps with fall out.
My secret to flawless skin is Dove Bar Soap to wash my face. No scrubs, no lotions and potions, just daily dove soap and once a week moisturizer. Works like a charm!
[email protected]
when the weather changes from hot to cold, extra moisturezer on your skin/face is the key!
My favorite beauty secret is to drink LOTS of water and use a humidifier every night.
rogers 1212 at gmail dot com
My beauty secret is when painting my nails I always let my last color coat of nail polish dry for at least 5 minutes before applying the top coat. This helps set the nail polish and helps each coat dry faster!
[email protected]
My beauty tip – I curl my eyelashes when I am drying my hair. I hold the hair dryer on my eyelash curler for a few seconds to heat up and then curl away. I will do an extra eyelash curl before I apply my makeup. My lashes have never looked better. It really opens up my eyes.
[email protected]
I don’t wear a ton of makeup, so the best way I can look beautiful is to get enough rest. I do think undereye concealer goes a long way, even if I don’t have on much makeup!

Staying away from dairy keeps my skin clear. I splurged on it when I was in Europe and had no effects but alas, dairy in the US is pumped full of hormones and makes me break out.

Girl, always moisturize & hydrate that skin! {[email protected]}
Occasionally, I like to brush my teeth with baking soda, then follow with a swish of peroxide. Keeps my teeth pearly and bright!

I’m a big fan of putting highlighter at the inner corner of my eyes to keep them looking fresh and awake.
[email protected]
One beauty secret that I’ve picked up that I can’t live without now: I line the inner corners of my eyes with shimmery ivory shadow. Really makes my eyes pop!
My beauty secret is a little weird and may not work for everyone, but it works for me! I am quite messy when it comes to eyeshadow and mascara so I typically do that first and then apply my foundation after. That way, I can clean up any eye makeup messes and not have to redo my foundation.
[email protected]
I have 2 big game changers in the beauty area. The first is using eyeliner only on my lower lash line. My eyes look twice as big and way more alert since I stopped adding liner to the top. It also makes my lashes look longer because you can see the entire length better now. The other is Seche Vite fast drying top coat. It’s magic. My manicures last at least a week with regular nail polish and my polish is totally dry within 5 minutes.
I used to have a lot of good tips but in the past few years have just gotten lazy with my routine. A good cleanser, toner and moisturizer keep my face looking fresh though.
[email protected]
Baby shampoo is THE BEST for removing eye make-up (even waterproof)! It foams nicely, you don’t have to “scrub” at your eyes, and it doesn’t sting or burn if you happen to get some in your eyes!
My beauty tip is that you can never have enough mascara! Cover Lashblast is my favorite out of all the brands (both drug store and high-end) I have found!
[email protected]
My beauty tip is to try the oil cleansing method, instead of harsh chemical cleansers to wash your face with. It takes off all of your makeup and I find that my skin is in much more toned and clear than it was when I used all the different chemical cleansers on the market.
[email protected]
I have tried this & not sure I’m getting the oil blend right. What blend of you use, & how often?
I also tweeted!

My beauty tip is LUSH cosmetics! My skin has never been in such good shape then when I started cleansing and moisturizing with natural, hand made, vegan products! [email protected]
Great lip color! My favorite beauty secret tip is to curl your lashes! Revlon makes a great eye lash curler too.

My beauty secret is to use clear mascara to tame wild brows!
[email protected]
Another great tip I learned is to use eye drops to get the red out of unsightly blemishes on your face! Put a couple of drops on a q-tip and dab the area of concern a few times and voila!
oops forgot my e-mail! [email protected]
I’ve always been a Revlon fan! My ‘secret’ is to always play up my lips … I love the bold red! Thank you –
[email protected] (Missy)
If you keep your brows groomed at all times, you always look more polished, even if you have to run out without makeup!
Use primer anytime you wear product on your eyes. It’s an extra step, but well worth it.
My best kept beauty secret is to smile! And wear mascara. 🙂
[email protected]
Dip the little wooden stick that comes in manicure kits into nail polish remover. This will help you in touching up messy edges on your nails. It doesn’t matter if the polish is dried, the remover still takes care of it cleanly!
[email protected]
and i tweeted: https://twitter.com/meg1t/status/387951181655339008. thanks!
When curling your hair, let it cool before brushing or messing with your curls. It will ensure the curls stay curled longer! 🙂 [email protected]
Play up fair skin! I’ve found that subtle, true pink blush brings color to porcelain skin in the perfect amount. Best I’ve found – NARS Illuminator, color “Orgasm”. Crazy name, I know. But a tiny bit on cheekbones will catch light and keep you looking fresh!
[email protected]
You can make mascara last longer by putting 3 drops of contact solution in the tube when it gets to the clunky stuff at the end. Baking soda with shampoo works great for stripping product off my hair. A super thin layer of Vaseline around the outside of your lips keeps lipstick from bleeding. [email protected]
I mix together some sugar and olive oil to exfoliate my face. Works great. [email protected]
Using baby wipes to take your eye makeup off at the end of the day is much gentler on your eyes than “real” remover. No scrubbing involved, it comes right off.
[email protected]
Baby oil will take off even the most stubborn waterproof mascara. It’s very inexpensive and works great. I never buy eye makeup remover anymore. [email protected]
Favorite beauty secret: using hemp oil as a cleanser and moisturizer! Sounds weird, but actually leaves skin very smooth, moisturized, and helps a lot with clogged pores! 🙂
The best tip is to use good brushes to put on your makeup!

I would love to know the best way to keep lipstick on without wearing off during the day(or getting on my teeth! It seems I can NEVER avoid it, no matter how many tricks I try).

My beauty tip is highlighting and contouring! I’m very fair with dark hair and dark eyes and it can be very easy for me to just look very flat and pale after I do my makeup, especially in the winter. But when I take an extra couple of minutes to highlight and contour (with the Mary Kay highlighting pen and a dark, matte bronzer), it makes a HUGE difference. It photographs extremely well too, which is great when you’re in a wedding as I’m going to be in January, the height of pale skin season!
I would love to hear about eye-liners. I have dark eyes and always feel “goth” even with just the smallest amount of eyeliner on. I would love tips for applying and the best products.
[email protected]
My beauty secret is. . . mascara? 🙂 Usually that and eyeliner are all I wear.
My beauty tip is sunscreen! Even if you don’t think it is sunny out or you won’t be out long, the damage is irreversible.

Your skin looks amazing! I’m normally a department store/Sephora sort of foundation gal, but I may have to give that Revlon product a try! So, my favorite beauty tip is: Monistat Anti-Chaffing gel has the SAME EXACT ingredients as Smashbox primer. The tube of anti chaffing gel is about 7$, so it’s quite a steal compared to Smashbox!!
I have never been disappointed with anything from the Colorstay line!! arbarker11 at gmail dot com
my fav beauty tip is to use coconut oil to remove your eye makeup naturally!
[email protected]
Sweet! I just started using the Revlon ColorStay liner because it came as a bonus with my fav Revlon Growluscious mascara (the best mascara ever, btw). Love it!
My only question is – since the liner has SUCH GREAT staying power – what makeup remover do you find works best?
[email protected]
not sure how to get the exact URL for my tweet, but here is my twitter info where I posted the tweet: https://twitter.com/candmforever
Love the ColorStay line. My only question would be with a 5 minute routine in the morning, how do you get the perfect smokey eye in that amount of time? Thanks!
[email protected]
My tip is to invest in good brushes and primer. Thanks
I have an easy tip- I’ve always had problem, dry skin on my feet and elbows. One of the best things has been simple Vaseline slathered on my feet before I wear socks, and it softens my feet very nicely!

My favorite tip is to use a subtle highlighter under your brows and in the inner corners of your eyes. So pretty!

I have combination skin that has a tendency to flake during the winter months. Not attractive, especially because foundation only makes it more obvious! My solution: I slather Aquaphor healing ointment on the dry patches before I go to bed. When I wake up, my skin is infinitely softer and smoother.
[email protected]
My simple tip is how to make my makeup look dewy/illuminating with highlighters and light shadows. I use this trick any time I want to look extra special for a date or event 🙂
[email protected]
My favorite beauty tip is how to “scrunch” curl hair with the perfect gel. I love this super easy, boho chic look 🙂 [email protected]
My beauty tip is to prolong your manicure, apply a top coat everyday, or everyother day!
[email protected]
I am a lip product freak 🙂 in the best of ways. Simple morning with a 2year old – mascara and lip stick.
[email protected]
Thanks for the information on Revlon’s products. I think i’ll try that foundation out.
Not sure if it’s really a “secret” but one thing I love to do for a very natural simple eye is to use bronzer in the crease and corner, and then a simple highlighter under the brow. I love the colors together and it creates a very simple daytime look.
[email protected]
I like putting a light neutral shadow in the inner corners of my eyes and under my brows to highlight my eyes and keep me looking awake!
I’d love tips about covering up acne and acne scars. I feel like my cover up attempts looks lumpy and obvious. Sigh.
I didn’t have any beauty tips that came to mind, but I saw your question and thought that I might be able to help! I had acne when I was younger, so covering it up is second nature to me. The thing that helped me was switching to a small brush for concealer application instead of my fingers. I use Maybelline’s dream mousse concealer. For some reason I find that the texture sticks better to my problem areas, and I like that it’s not a liquid. Also, I use my eyeshadow primer as an “acne primer” so that the concealer doesn’t fade throughout the day. Plus, it saves me from having to buy extra products, or try to stuff more into my makeup bag.
[email protected]
hmmmm…. My beauty secret is to not wash my hair everyday! It’s so much softer and easier to deal with when I go a few days in between! callywog at hotmail.com
I like to put light eye shadow in the inner corners of my eyes to brighten them.
[email protected]
I use gloss over lipstick or lip balm, always! Makes me look younger!
[email protected]
Using oil to clean and moisturize my face. I love it and mix up my concoction about once every 2 months. You can use a variety of oils to give you the best results for your skin. So easy and chemical free.
On days when I’m in a rush or don’t feel like putting on full makeup, I focus on my eyes. Quick swipe of eyeshadow and mascara draws attention to my eyes and looks very laid back.

I have found that using coconut oil as moisturizer is a cheap and effective way to moisturizer at night.

Inexpensive conditioner for shaving cream- it works so much better and is a lot cheaper! Suave almond and shea butter is amazing!!!!!
[email protected]
I like to use bronzer to add warmth to my face since I have a very light complexion.
I want to know the best way to conceal a pimple. I wish I had a tip myself to reveal!
My biggest reveal, is an easy day time look for blue eyed girls: Apply a nude shimmer shade to your whole eye, lashline to brow bone and then use navy eyeliner and smudge it on top lash line, lower lash line and into the waterline. Apply back mascara and bam! Your eyes look bright and in focus.
[email protected]
I love the red lip and I’m definitely going to have to try it out! I don’t know that this tip is a secret either but lot of times I like to use my blush as an eyeshadow. It’s a simple, fresh look that is really quick when I don’t have a lot of time that day. My email is [email protected]. Thanks so much!
I mix a bit of luminizer cream with my foundation when applying, it gives me a subtle glow.
I would say that washing my face each morning and evening with a good cleanser and my clarisonic in the evening is my best tip. It has kept my skin looking pretty good the last few months.

I like to mix primer into my foundation before applying so that the foundation goes on more smoothly. Works like a tinted moisturizer, but better!
[email protected]
My favorite tip is for concealing under eye bags: apply concealer to the shadow under the bag ONLY to camouflage the bag. If you put concealer on the bag itself, it can make it more noticeable. ([email protected])

I love washing my face with the Oil Cleansing Method. I use Olive Oil and Castor Oil 3xs a week. My face has never looked better or felt better. I struggled with acne my whole life and it has totally been kicked to the curb!
[email protected]
Love the red! [email protected]
When brushing my teeth, I regularly “brush” my lips gently with my toothbrush. It helps exfoliate and leaves them so soft. Great for when my lips start to feel chapped!
[email protected]
For a natural look, I very lightly dot on lipstick, then put on lip balm. I’ve found it’s a good way to get some use out of a less-than-flattering lipstick color if I’ve made a mistake at the store!
[email protected]
If you want the perfect matte red lip, make sure you exfoliate your lips by applying chapstick and than lightly scrubbing. [email protected]

My beauty tip is to line your waterline with a nude kohl pencil. It really brightens your eyes and makes them look bigger. Another tip I love is for streaky white nail polish. Put a coat of any white nail polish, then a coat of a matte topcoat, and another coat of the white nail polish. It really makes them pop, isn’t streaky at all, and no it doesn’t make your nails matte, they will be very glossy! It really works with any light/cream nail color. Haven’t tried it with a darker color but it may work with those as well if they tend to leave your nails streaky! I love this trick!!

I tend to have sensitive problematic skin, number one beauty secret is Cetaphil Face Wash, my dermatologist recommended it to me forever ago, washes away dirt and grime but still leave the essential oils! You can even use it without water by applying it and then rubbing it in and wiping it off or leaving on as a moisturizer, it’s amazing !

Use your concealer to cover under eye circles AFTER having applied foundation. And if between shades put for the slightly darker rather than lighter. It makes a world of difference between looking like you’re wearing too much makeup and having it look natural

Hi, Kate!! My name’s Lilian .
Just discovered your blog through you tube and I’m loving it!!!!
Have a question for you: what do you use on your hair to protect/style before curling it with curling iron?
Thank you!!
My tip is to make sure you add a little color to your brows. It really makes a huge difference.
My tip is wash an old mascara or nail polish container and fill with: 1/4 of the container with Castor Oil, 1/2 Vitamin E Oil, 1/4 Aloe Vera Gel. Mix the concoction together with your mascara wand, and apply a light layer to lashes (or brows) every night before bed. Castor oil thickens your lashes while aloe vera gel lengthens. Vitamin E accelerates length. Give it a month for results.

If you’re running out of product (chapstick, lipstick, moisturizer) use something to get the last bits out! I use a beauty scooper and you would be surprised how much product is left where it wouldn’t be otherwise accessible! [email protected]
Most people think that vegan or cruelty-free makeup isn’t as high quality or doesn’t perform as well. I’d encourage everyone to go cruelty-free; there are really some fantastic products out there! Urban Decay is my favorite brand of cruelty-free products, and their new line of Naked skincare products is to die for!
Using a Beauty Blender really helps to give you that flawless finish with your foundation! My favorites are the off-brand beauty blenders from TJ-Maxx (only $3.99!) with the Revlon ColorStay Whipped Foundation in Buff. [email protected]

Check your foundation shade when the seasons change. I wear a darker color foundation (lightweight) in the summer. In the winter, my foundation is heavier (with more moisturizer) and a shade lighter (from not being in the sun).
Setting spray REALLY does help keep your make up on
i always wash my face at night

I use conditioner as shaving cream – works even better for me and it’s one less product in the shower! [email protected]
My favorite tip is that you have to moisturize! Even with combination skin, it helps to balance out the oily parts and the dry parts and keeps your skin from being so dry/oily throughout the day. Email: [email protected] Tweet: https://twitter.com/StephiMarie/status/388280210744807424
I think my beauty tip would be that an eye shadow primer does wonders to keep your eyes looking great all day!
My best kept beauty secret: Don’t stress. Stress is so hard on skin and can prematurely age you.

Secret: if you’re prone to breaking out from heavy foundation, use a more natural, less-coverage foundation (like Tarte Amazonian Clay) as a base, then add a layer of the heavy foundation for the coverage you want.

My favorite beauty tip is an oldie but a goodie. It’s stuck around for so long because it actually works. Drink lots of water!
Drink gallons of water every day!!
Washing my face at nigth really dries out my skin. I use coconut oil as my moisturizer before bed and its helped! [email protected]
I use organic coconut oil to remove my makeup at night. It works great and also leaves moisture on my eyes and helps combat under eye circles. [email protected]
I “wash” my hair with apple cider vinegar 1-2x/month to really clarify the gunk that has built up. A hairdresser pal told me she did this years ago and I was too nervous to try it on my highlighted hair until recently. It really does the trick without feeling like it strips it!
My tip would be to use up the last your mascara- add a little saline solution to it and mix it around. It gets the last of the mascara out of the tube! [email protected]
coconut oil!! i use it on my hair, as a lotion for my body and as a moisturizer for my face. leaves you so soft and smooth! email: [email protected]
My beauty tip would be a primer! I love the way my foundation looks when I use a face primer first! It doesn’t sink into any lines on my face, it keeps it smooth looking all day!! [email protected]
Put your almost used up mascara in a cup of hot water for a few minutes, then shake it like crazy….you will get another week out of the tube!!!! [email protected]
Moisturize like crazy. Don’t forget your neck!
My beauty tip is: if you have a blemish that is especially red put some Visine on a qtip and press it on the pimple for a minute. It will help tone down the redness so you don’t have to use as much product to conceal it. Email: cmo.guzman [at]gmail[dot]com
Lining your top inner eyelid (below the upper lashes) really makes your eyelashes look thicker! ([email protected])
Protein spray in the hair once a week – helps keep hair healthier especially when you are using hot products on it daily!

After waxing, shaving or plucking its very important to keep the hair follicle clean. Instead of using pricy products make an at home tendskin. Crush approx 25 up coated aspirin and mix with 5oz rubbing alcohol and 2.5oz witch hazel. It’s super cheap and I never have ingrown hairs or redness!

My hair is so dry so once a month or so I put a hair conditioner in my hair at night and sleep with it over night. My hair feels soft in the morning after I wash it off.

My favorite beauty tip is to apply just a dab of shimmery, light eyeshadow to the corners of my eyes to brighten them!

To help prevent your red lip from straying away, place a tissue over your lips and dust a translucent setting powder over the tissue. Just enough will fall through to set your lipstick! It will also give it a beautiful matte finish. Sometimes a shiny red lip can be too much! This will help to keep it subtle. [email protected]
My tip is to apply a spray makeup fixative after applying makeup to keep it in place.

Bottom lashes first with mascara – that way you don’t get smudges on your eyelids when you look down to apply – chances are your top lashes are no where near being dry yet 🙂

My favourite beauty tip is the oil cleansing method for washing your face – it felt like my (very acne prone) skin was saying “thank you, thank you, thank you” when I started doing it.
Also, bee tee dubs, Kate, I bought the lipstick you’re wearing in this post immediately after reading it, and I’ve gotten compliments every time I’ve worn it. It’s the perfect soft red! Thanks!
I use classic eye liner, and then liquid eye liner on top. The liquid eye liner goes on PERFECTLY once it has a base, and the color lasts forever!
My beauty secret is to use regular eye liner, and then liquid eye liner on top of that. It’s SO easy to apply when you already have a base, and the color lasts forever with both!

When applying mascara, instead of wiggling the mascara wand, I wiggle my head. It’s more of a gentle shake than a wiggle, really, but it gives you more control versus the wand wiggle. Email: [email protected]

Anything to excessive will cause cancer clearly. Everything is moderately. Honestly regardless of wherever you research something concerning any cosmetics there’s reaching to be a extremely exhausting cosmetic to search out that’s ALL NATURAL. if you’re unless creating it by yourself and you recognize that everything is safe then yea.. Parabens believe it or ought to be at very cheap of the list of any cosmetic unless if you created it solid product then it doesn’t want it. however seriously if you probably did obtain a product while not it in it then goes to spoil terribly quickly. Its funny too as a result of bread and blueberries have natural parabens inside them but…. not complains that do they.. additionally once a shampoo or shower gel says “sulfate free” and your product still bubbles after you use it sadly its not “sulfate free” the maximum amount because it is tough to believe that, thats is that the truth you’ll be able to look it up, its a scam that firms can do so that they won’t loose any customers. during this day in age everybody has to build cash so that they ar reaching to tell you this. I wont to work for lush and that i would ne’er Bachelor of Science my customers and that i would educate them as a result of they failed to apprehend. affirmative Lush will used salt, parabens, dyes, however they’re honest not like most firms. If you’re reaching to desire a colourful soap its reaching to have a color dye unless you purchase dial or irish spring however nobody needs to possess dry skin do they now? nobody needs to buy soap that doesnt have any color or charm thereto. within the finish it’s utterly up to you wherever you would like to travel and obtain your cosmetics. Lush has contemporary face masks that ar fantastic however they solely last three weeks therefore if you’re searching for nice aid product they’re there.
Also I had detected that I scan during a comment that had this piece of knowledge therefore I quoted it and that i can tell you why. “ALL volatile oil IS TERRIBLE FOR SENSITIVE SKIN for redness prone skin.” that’s not true. everybody had completely different desires for his or her skin, NOT EVERYTHING goes to figure for everybody. affirmative suggesting is extremely nice however there ar alternative calming ingredients that ar nice for sensitive skin however betting on what you’re sensitive TOO. currently this might be Tea tree, rose water, rose absolute, aloe vera, lavender etc.. however believe it or not rose, aloe vera, mineral ar acknowledged to calm the skin to scale back any redness. however like I aforementioned NOT each INGREDIENT goes to react an equivalent to everybody. If you’re unsure what your skin is sensitive to then attend an expert. If you dont have the financial gain try and puzzle out what’s creating your skin react. this might be a daily moisturizer, even makeup etc.. however seriously everything is trial and error. you’ll be able to look on-line and see that somebody failed to sort of a product however you needed to undertake it out, however dont blow over what they aforementioned attempt it out and see however you prefer finish of story. Samples ar nice however they dont provide you with the complete impact. If something if you have got the cash for the merchandise decease and if you dont am fond of it once a few of weeks come it. simply make certain you have got your receipt and you recognize the businesses come policy.
