Purple Cut Crease Eye makeup Tutorial!

Heyaa all!!!
How you all are doing!! :D i hope all are doing good!! So as the title of the post clearly says today i am gonna be doing a tutorial for you all and i have also decided something that from now onwards i will be doing more and more tutorial and less reviews because this was the main concern and objective of my blog! i am an aspiring makeup artist who is learning from others and i just want to share this with you all my readers :) i am neither a pro nor certified so i ll be showing you what i have learnt from people around me and it will be my immense pleasure if i could inspire any of you :D
So without wasting much time i am going straight to the tutorial!!
So as i said i am doing a cut crease so here is a sneak peak of the products we need for this look!


1.So i am going to start with my maybelline gel eyeliner and i am taking lil at a time and going to draw a line just above my crease line! Make sure you are using small strokes and draw the line as shown in the picture below.


oh yeah i just forgot to tell you that i am sorry for those eyebrows! these are not looking good because that parlour lady just ruined them :/ and i cant shape them before it grows up fully
2.so next step will be to smudge the line we have just created! to do this i am using a q tip (as an makeup artist this thing is like my best friend :D) omg in the pic i dont know how that q tip went above that line but what you're gonna do is smudge the line make sure you are not ruining it!
See the lst pic of the above collage! your line should look like that!
Now move on to the next step!
3. Next i am gonna take a black matte shade on the clean side of the same q tip and going to apply on the smudged line! Do not dab or pac the shadow instead use a wiping motion!
Next i am gonna take a brown shade and apply on the same crease line just to warm it up and it does create a huge difference!


See the last pic of the above collage! this will be the result you will be getting!!

3. Now for the next step i am having a tip! We all know if we use bright colours in our shadows it is important to use a base to make the colour pop! we can use any white base (like Nyx jumbo pencil in milk or even lakme eyeconic kajal in white etc) but here i am not having any white base with me so i am simply going to use a concealer for that
I am using olivia foundation stick which i do use as a concealer it is super cheap and herbal and having a good coverage!
So i am applying my concealer with the help of an eyeshadow brush.here you can even use your fingers but that brush will do better because we want that crease to be intact and brush can do this very precisely without ruining that line!
Now i am taking my purple eyeshadow! this one is from vov and is also very affordable and is of average quality! and i am applying this to the whole of my lid and extending it outside a lil.


Now we are almost done and left with a few easy steps!
Its time to apply some eyeliner and i am going to apply an cat eye liner. If you want i can post a separate blogpost on how to apply cat eye its super simple and is my fav for daily wear!
A tip here is always apply eyeliner in small strokes and first draw thin line and then thicken it up as you go..
And i am now going to curl my lashes and apply mascara (i am using maybelline Hyper curl mascara)
For the lower lash line i applied my maybelline collosal kajal on the waterline and lashline and then again with the purple shade on a q tip i just blended that in!


As you can see black dots on my eyelids due to that mascara..i am going to clean it later once it dries up. take a clean q tip again and just clean it up! Apply some more eyeshadow and you are done!
Here is the final look!


Trust me guys this look will look a lot better when you will try this! here it is looking a lil ugly :/ because of these messy brows -_-

NUDE LIPSTICK -FACES GO CHICK LIPSTICK IN GOOD EARTH!

Feeling so frustrated because i am writing the whole post again -_- Bloggeroid is not working properly now a days -_- i ll either fix it soon or will download something else. :/
Well today's post is about a thing for which i am going crazy now a days! :-D its about a nude lipstick ;)
Pink, reds, corals are something you can find in a girl closet or vanity boxes or i guess everwhere! but having a good nude lipstick is also very important because it is more subtle and wearable!
So a few days back i was searching for a good nude lipstick for Indian skin on Internet but all i was finding was for warmer or dysky skintones or those were out of my budget -_-
But then i visited lifestyle store near me and found this at Faces counter



Faces Go Chic Lipstick in Good Earth
I have already reviewed one of the lipstick from Faces go chic range Here and i love it!
Price: 250 INR for 4.5g




This is a pure matte lipstick with no shine and the colout is more. Like a soft brownish nude. It is very pigmented that it covers up all the pigmentation around my lips in just one swipe! Seriously i checked the lakme store too and that SA show me some good lip colours from their range but they didn't cover that pigmentation and when i tried this i just picked up without much thinking! (i am not saying at all that lakme lipsticks are not good it was just my experience and she showed me some glossy and very light coloured lipsticks may be thats why those didn't cover that pigmentation.
The texture of this lippie is a lil thick and less creamy than the Tango one but it applies on lips easily and due to its thick texture it stays on my lips for a longer time than that.
It is not transfer proof means it transfer to your cups and glasses :p but on touching your lips with fingers it wont come out!
It creases a little but i don't expect diamonds for Just 250 rupees!
Overall i am very much happy with this and it is like a daily wear lipstick for me now! All i can see on my lips is only one colozur (which used to be 2 or 3 due to that pigmentation :@ )
Will i repurchase this? oh yes!! For sure! Untill i found any other good lippie in this price range :p or my budget got increased :p
I recommend this lipstick to everyone who wants a good nude lipstick!

Lip Balm's War! Which one are you using??

Who says we do not need a lip balm in summers?? its just a myth that balms are meant for using in winters only.. In this dry heat our lips tends to dry and even this heat causes tan to our lips so it is so important to use something to protect your lips from dryness and tanning.
Today we are going to talk about some budgeted lip balms available in market.its kind of a war between them because they all are available in equal price range.so we will try to analyse and pick up the better one
The lip balms i am gonna review are..

What


1.Nivea pearl and shine
2.Elle18 juicy lip balm in juicy berry
3.Maybelline baby lips un anti oxident berry
Price: nivea pearl and shine is available in market for approx 135INR.I dont remember the exact price actually because i bought that 3 months back. Whereas elle18 juicy lip balm is for 110INR and maybelline lip balms are available in two variants the tinted one is for 150INR and non tinted one is for 125INR.i am having the non tinted one in anti oxident berry.
Colour and Texture: nivea pearl and shine is having a light soft pink tint and lods of silver pearls and is in a stick form on the other hand elle18 juicy lip balm is having a light visible tint of berry and is in a liquid form filled in a tube.the last maybelline lip balm is has no colour or tint.it is also available in stick form.
Elle18 juicy lip balm tastes like vanilla and i love its taste.even my younger brother sometimes apply it just to eat it up lol.On the other hand maybelline is having a fruity smell and is also very nice! Nivea is also having fine smell and taste but i cant tell exactly how it smells like
Here are some swatches :


Elle18 juicy lip balm in juicy berry




What i like in nivea pearl and shine
1.smells good
2.moisturise for a good 2 3 hours.
3gives a pink tint when applied.
What i dont like
1.contains soo much pearls that doesn't suits my face and make my lips look like white and pale as if i have grown older -_-
What i like in Elle18 juicy lip balm
1.vanilla flavour!! this is soo yummy
2.moisturises well
3.give a hint of colour which looks good
What i dont like
1.its packaging because sometimes products leaks out from the tube on its own -_-
What i like in Maybelline baby lips
1.Moisturises well
2.has spf 21 which protects lips from tanning.
3.Smells good.
4.I have noticed that it makes my lips a little pink naturally
What i dont like

REVIEW :Maybelline Gel Liner and Hyper Gloss Liner in Turquoise

Hii lovelies!!
I know its been ages since i post any tutorial or review :/ but i was so busy with my exams.Now i am in delhi and my exams are over and m enjoying with my relatives here Sooooooooo much!!! :D because i has no one to talk to in banglore :/
Okiee i guess its enough of blaah blaah and i should get back to My main post :p
So today i m gonna be talking about two little cute products from Maybelline Newyork India which i am loving these days now!
These are
1. Maybelline Eyestudio Lasting Drama Gel Liner
2. Maybelline Hyper Glossy Liquid Liner in Turquoise Blue


Well first i will talk about Maybelline Eyestudio Lasting Drama Gel Liner this one is my first gel liner and i am very much satisfied with that!!


Price: 450 INR
But i got mine for 337 from flipkart at 25% off!! Yayy!!
It comes in a plastic transparent square pot and black lid.it has an eyeliner brush too and i must say it is of very fine quality!
The texture of this is very creamy and a little goes a long way..it is the blackest black! i like the matte finish so much. The company claims that it stays for like 48 hours or so! Well it stays on my eyelids for a really very long time. Though i ll never wear an eyeliner for 48 hours so cant say if it stays that long or not but it stays for a pretty long time!
It dries a little fast though! fir some it is a plus point and for some not because smudging this become a difficult task.and i needed something with which i can play for a long time but as it dries so fast i have to be a lil quick whenever i want to create smudging effect with liner!
RATING : As i am very much satisfied and didn't find any drawback i will rate it 4.5 out of 5. The . 5 i deducted because of its so quickly drying factor lol. But for most of you it wont be a drawback rather a positive point!
Now come to Maybelline Hyper Glossy Liquid Liner in Turquoise Blue.



Price : INR 250
The packaging of this liner is very handy. Can fit in your clutch very easily! The liner brush is quite good and liner application is very easy with this.
The colour is Turquoise Blue. The very recent maybelline turquoise kohl is having silver shimmer in it but this linet is having golden shimmer. Colour in white light sometimes look like a little green.. but it doesn't look odd.
It also has the same drying problem.. when i do my eye with this the product dries on the brush itself till i reach the mid pf my eyelid.. -__- so next time i will switch off the fan and then will apply :-P i hope this trick will work haha.but it doesn't dries up completely.. Dip it again in the product and apply!
Okie now comes to staying power, it also stays for a quite long time like for 7-8 hours very easily even in this humid whether of delhi.
Although the product is fine except that drying fast factor! I think the quantity doesn't satisfies the price. They haven't mention the product quantity on the package but i can see the pot is very small and liner wand is so big and they haven't even full the pot with product.
RATING : 4 out of 5
Here are some swatches and EOTD I created using these two liners.
