TIP IN APPLYING LIQUID HIGHLIGHTER

Hi everyone!!

In this blogpost, you will see how and where to apply your liquid highlighter on your cheeks. With liquid highlighter, or for any highlighter, you have to be careful as to where you apply it because you might end up looking super oily. I will admit that this was a common mistake to me before but my good friend Dani, taught me this trick. Hope you find this helpful!

1. Locate the highest point of your cheek by placing your middle finger and index finger diagonally from the part of your eyes that is nearest to your nose.

2. Dot a small amount of highlighter in the area nearest your finger. That is the area where you start applying your highlighter.

3. Blend the highlighter by using you fingers. Remember to pat upward using your fingers and do not go beyond the area where you first dotted your highlighter.

4. You should aim for a subtle highlight in daylight and add a bit more for night time. :)


Thank you for reading !Take care!

Pretty in Peach

Hi everyone!


 I wanted to make an entire makeup look using my current favorite peach blush as a base color. I used it as an eyeshadow, blush and color for the lips as well.  I learned a trick from Ana Victorino where you can make your lipstick/lipgloss become matte by applying eyeshadow on top. I have discovered that this also makes your lipcolor last longer.

 I have been using a certain peach colored blush that I bought for only P35.00 for more than a month now. Aside from the fact that it is very pigmented, the product itself is not powdery at all. It has this soft, buttery texture that feels smooth when applied and adheres to the skin well. So far, I dont have any allerghic reaction to product so I will continue using this until I hit pan.

Here is the video of the look:
