Sunny's tips : Skin care 101

It's very important to choose products for your age and skin type Daily care The daily care routine is from 3 steps, that you have to do every morning and before you go to bed / i can't really get my self to, but i hope you girls do them ^ ^ And my "m" isn't showing much ... hvae it in mind / --------------- Cleaning --------------- It's best to use cream - if you have normal to dry skin gel - if you have from normal to oily skin --------------- Toning --------------- The toner is one of the most neglected products, but it's very important for having good skin . -------------- Moisturising ------------- For this you can use creams - day creams - night creams - remember you hvae to put the 30 minutes before going to bed, so it can go deep in your skin ^ ^ [b]Special care[b] -------------- Exfolienting ------------ There are two kinds - Scrubs - you rub it on yor face - you put it on after cleaning your face. This is similar to heaving a new skin, beacuse the rubbing that really gets rid of all death skin. After using it you HAVE to put on cream. - Peeling - ypu put it on your face after cleaning it for about 15 minutes, then you peel it off, clean your face whit water and put on a cream. The scrubs take awaya more dead skin and that's why they are recomended for people whit bigger face problems - big spots, pimples and ect. The peeling ones are strong too, but tney leave the skin more smoot, that thne other one. It's recomened you use them 2-3 times a week and if you have sensative skin - only once. --------------- Masks ------------ This has been used for centures to make skin evan smoother and more perfect. You choose your mask depending on your skin type. You have to use it maximum 1 or 2 times a week. ------------- Eye cream ------------ This area is very sensative, that's why it need speacial care. It's reacomndd that youu start using it after the age of 25, but if you need to use it sooner - do it. What's the best way to put it on ? Put little dots of the cream right under your lower lashes - on top of the cheek bone and the whit "tapping" whit your ring finger, so you don't put too much preshure on in. After that you repeat the same thing, but the dots of cream are on the bottom of your eyebrown bone ^ ^ If you have very oily scean - it's better to use a eye gel ^ ^

Essence eyeliner swatches /all black/

Ok, so here i made a short animation presenting 4 items, whit the help of witch you can make .... well what ever you want ^ ^ Here I've used a very basic look, so you can see how it looks whit each of these products - the powder eyeliner and eyeshadow, black mania kajal pencil, pencil eyeliner and the gel eye liner ^ ^ On 3 of the looks, i even made my lashes disapear,with the help of a loose powder, so you will see the colour and lines better.
So it's practacly from softer to harder / from top left,teh right,then bottom left and of cours right /. I tryed to make the thinest line i can under my waterline and clearly the winner was the gel, after that pencil, powder and the kajal at the end. I love all of them, so it really depents on what look you're after ^ ^

I ♥ STAGE eyeshadow base review

"the i love stage – eyeshadow base has to get on stage! it can be applied diversely either as primer for concealers or eye shadows. the creamy texture does not crease, makes the eye shadow last longer and appear much more color intensive. for an even eye make-up waiting for its gig on stage!" Ok, I ♥ this base ^ ^ The colour really pops up more, about how long it holds - you will have to find out tomorrow ^ ^ I just apply some on my lid and smudge it whit my finger ^ ^ And by the way it works great for a high lighter and a conceler around the eyes ^ ^ It's perfect for non-creamy eyeshadows, because it will help them stay in place and fall over your face or during the day ^ ^ And from the looks of it it will last a long time, so you don't have to worry about getting a new one soon ^ ^

I ♥ GLAM powder eyeliner and eyeshadow review

"the ultimate all-round talent in terms of dramatic eye make-up: as a matter of fact the powder eyeliner & eye shadow is eyeliner and eye shadow in one. due to its loose khol texture it can be applied as both eyeliner and eye shadow. the special flock applicator provides an especially even result and the super fine shimmery pigments provide the i-love-styling with the absolute wow-effect! " I am IN LOVE whit this product... Seriously.... The applicator is hard from the inside, but soft on the outsite and it's flexible at the end, so it really is perfect.The amount that goes on your skinis just perfect and it has this very nice shimmery effect, witch you will love. I know it says "I love glam", but when i saw how it looks on the skin the world - stage - came up in my mind. It's totally what I would wear on the stage - no matter if I'm dancing or acting. It will just look perfect - it doesn't matter if the sun or the lights "light up" the sparkle on your eyes, that this will give you, will always look PERFECT ^ ^
