IN THIS BLOG WE WILL BE DISCUSSING BRUSHES- THEIR STYLES, SHAPES, BRISTLE TYPES & FUNCTION. WHEN BUYING BRUSHES YOU WANT TO MAKE SURE YOU TEST THE BRISTLES OUT BEFORE PURCHASING. YOU WANT TO FEEL THE TEXTURE & ALSO MAKE SURE THET IT DOESNT SHED. IT SHOULD FEEL COMFORTABLE IN YOUR HANDS SO THAT IT CAN BE EASY TO MANEUVER. BUY BRUSHES THAT ARE DESIGNED SPECIFICALLY FOR THE PUPOSE OF WHATEVER MAKEUP PRODUCT YOU ARE USING. FOUNDATION/FOUNDATION BRUSH, SHADOW/EYE SHADOW BRUSH..SO ON SO FORTH.

THERE IS TWO TYPES OF BRISTLES. NATURAL & SYNTHETIC.

NATURAL BRISTLES(squirrrel, goat, pony, or sable) OFFER A MORE BLENDED, NATURAL APPLICATION & ARE VERY SOFT. BEST WHEN WORKING WITH POWDER BASED PRODUCTS- EYE SHADOWS, FACE POWDER AND BLUSH.

SYNTHETIC BRISTLES ARE STIFFER THAN NATURAL HAIR, SO IT WILL GIVE YOU GREATER CONTROL & A MORE PRECISE APPLICATION. BEST USED WITH CREAMY PRODUCTS, LIKE CONCEALERS, GEL LINERS & LIP COLOR.

QUICK TALK ON BRUSHES

WHEN PUTTING ON FOUNDATION YOU SHOULD ALWAYS USE A CLEAN FOUNDATION BRUSH. YOU CAN WASH THIS WITH BABY SOAP TO CLEAN. WHEN YOU DO SO MAKE SURE YOU HAVE YOUR BRUSH FACING DOWN SO THAT WATER MAY NOT ENTER INSIDE THE BRUSH. WHEN APPLYING YOUR FOUNDATION USE THIS LIKE YOU ARE PAINTING AND STROKE ON THE AREAS NECESSARY. MEANING IF YOU DOT NEED COVERAGE ALL OVER THEN YOU SHOULDN'T BE PUTTING IT ALL OVER. REMEMBER YOU WANT TO COVER UP BLEMISHES & EVEN OUT YOUR SKIN TONE. THE LESS YOU PUT ON THE MORE OF A NATURAL LOOK YOU WILL GET.

NOW WHEN YOU WANT TO BLEND IN YOUR FOUNDATION OR CONCEALER MY PERSONAL GO-TO BRUSH IS A STIPPLING BRUSH AS SHOWN BELOW. THIS BRUSH HAS OTHER USES THAT I WILL GET INTO MORE DETAIL ONCE I PUT TOGETHER A BRUSH CHART. GREAT FOR LIGHTLY BLENDING IN YOUR FOUNDATION OR CONCEALER. LOVE IT.

NOW THIS STUFF IS AMMAAZZIINNG!! I LOVE LOVE LOVE DERMABLEND'S SETTING POWDER. YOU WILL GET OPTIMUM RESULTS BECAUSE THIS PRODUCT ABSORBS EXCESS FACIAL OILS & CREME TO BETTER HIDE ACNE , SCARS AND BLEMISHES. I HAD ANOTHER ONE FROM A DIFFERENT BRAND AND IT WAS VERY POWDERY AND ASHY LOOKING. BUT WHEN I APPLY THIS STUFF TO MY FACE AFTER FOUNDATION IT JUST TAKES IT TO ANOTHER LEVEL. MY FOUNDATION STAYS PUT & FRESH. WHEN I PUT ON CONCEALER UNDER MY EYES I ALSO USE THIS TO SET IT WITH THE STIPPLING BRUSH & IT PREVENTS THE CONCEALER FROM GETTING INTO ANY FINE LINES. ITS A MUST, MUST, MUST FOR ME TO HAVE THIS IN MY BAG OF GOODIES. I WOULD DEFINITELY RECOMMEND THIS! THEY HAVE IT IN DIFFERENT TRANSLUCENT SHADES TO FIT YOUR SKIN TONE IN http://www.dermablend.com/settingpowders/loose-setting-powder.htm#

THIS STUFF BELIEVE IT OR NOT HAS AMAZING BENEFITS FOR OUR SKIN. I DON'T KNOW ABOUT YOU BUT I LOVE ANYTHING THAT CAN HELP MY SIN BE THE BEST IT CAN BE. SO LET ME SCHOOL YOU ON SOME OF GOODIES THIS PROVIDES TO OUR LARGEST ORGAN-OUR SKIN!!

APPLE CIDER VINEGAR

• Amazing at restoring your PH balance on your skin 

       PH balance info> Our skin is protected by a combination of lactic acid, amino acids and free fatty acids. This gives our skin the slightly acidic ph, which stops our skin and body from absorbing bacteria. ANY disruption to this layer ALLOWS damage to the skin resulting in blemishes, dryness and other irritations. Maintaining the natural balance within our skin is important to reduce your risk of this damage!!

• Vinegar has a tonic action that promotes blood circulation in the small capillaries that irrigate the skin. It is also antiseptic, preventing the proliferation of bacteria, viruses, or yeast that trigger infection. It can dissolve excessive fatty deposits at the surface of the skin and reduce scaly or peeling conditions.

HONEY

 

• Anti bacterial properties. Honey will protect your skin from bacterial infections and also prohibit any black heads, white heads and minor acnes from forming.

•  Helps promote stronger collegen. The collagen protein is what makes skin firm. Unfortunately this protein is damaged when we get older, which explains why we get wrinkles when we age.

• Antioxidant properties. Honey is a strong antioxidant, which means that I will help you get younger looking skin by protecting your skin from the damaging effects of free radicals.

• Shrinks your pores without harming your skin. 
• honey removes dry and dead skin cells due to its keratolytic properties, it simply wipes them away. It is suitable for all skin types because there is nothing in it to irritate the skin; it is just a great healer.

EGGS 

• All pores have shrunk, making face  poreless

•   Good deep cleansing effect

•   Immediate improvement

•   The face is supple

•   Texture is SMOOTH

•   Good oil balancing for those who have oily skin

• Whitehead Remover

                  Whiteheads are pores that are blocked with oil and other debris. Experts at Acnetalks.com suggest that regular egg white masks with a dash of lemon will help remove whiteheads, while the protein in the egg whites helps to heal and nourish skin.

   

• Skin Tightening

Soon after you've applied an egg white mask you'll feel your skin start to tighten. This effect usually lasts for about an hour after you've rinsed the mask off, giving your face a healthy glow and diminishing the look of fine lines. Some people believe its effects are similar to a short-term facelift. At the very least egg whites tighten pores and, once rinsed, remove dead skin cells.

OKAY NOW THAT WE HAVE THE FACTS LETS GET STARTED ON OUR FACE COCKTAIL!
