A power tool to look noticeably attractive, more confident and sociable. It wasn’t a cup of my tea until a few years back but then I started watching YouTube and following makeup artists. And Oh lord, yes, it is insanely addictive if you don’t know where to stop. Honestly, I blame all the talented makeup artists and youtubers whom I follow for taking my money. Some of my favorite people to follow on IG – Katie Jane Hughes (another favorite libra and we share a same birth date too, yayyy), Nikki makeup and Alessandra Steinherr.
As I have said in my skincare blog, I don’t switch between products too often considering my sensitive skin but I do enjoy watching all the techniques from contouring the cheekbones to what not 😉 I am still learning some of these techniques, which I may never even master. It’s not easy, mind you. I am someone who loves neutral make up with lot of eye drama and do not like eye shadows, if that makes sense. Eye pencil (kajal) and lots of mascara and I am done. Also, a huge fan of blushes, in fact that is the only category that I keep buying frequently from all different brands.
For every day, I use products like tinted moisturizers. which don’t take too much time to blend and for someone like me who always runs late for work (aka sleepy head) need something that should work quickly and look good too. I do not use beauty blenders, I used to but then who’s going to wash them every damn day 🙂 washing brushes is much easier than washing a blender. Plus, blenders soak too much product than a brush. I love how Katie Jane Hughes applies make up with her brushes, check out her IG page if you want to learn some makeup techniques. I typically blend base products with my hands and then use brushes for setting powder, concealer etc. Some of the products that I use fall under ‘clean brand’ category and I absolutely swear by those for daily use, as I don’t do all the steps (bronzing, contouring) every day but when I want all that glam, I add all of those 1760 steps 🙂
