Currently Obsessed: MAKE UP FOR EVER Aqua Liner Liquid Eyeliner

I was going through a beauty dilemma back in the end of 2015. I just could't find a good eyeliner that would stay put on me. That's when my Make Up For Ever fairy introduced me to the Aqua Liner Liquid Eyeliner ($27.00 CAN). I'm in LOVE!

Ugh.. Where do I start. This stuff is literally smudge-proof!

What makes this product so amazing: 

It can withstand life! Tears, water- It's budge proof!

To remove:
I use a few methods: Make up wipes, q-tip with liquid make up remover or a cleansing balm.

The tip:
Foam-tip applicator for precise application. Great for beginners or pros!

Random amazing facts:

MAKE UP FOR EVER Step 1 Skin Equalizer - Swatches + Pictures

A primer is the key to making your foundation last. It's such a small step. Finding a primer that works for you is very hard. I've tried some that have broken me out like pimples everywhere. To others that turned me into an oil slick. It's truly trial & error.

Sometimes you really have to invest, if you want your make up to be pristine. 

Right now the MAKE UP FOR EVER step 1 Skin Equalizer ($43.00 CAN) is literally everything. 

Make Up For Ever did an amazing job making these primers for all skin concerns.

10 formulas target your texture & tone concern.

Here is what I received:
Mattifying Primer reduces shine- oily skin.

Radiant Primer Caramel adds radiance- deep/dark skin. 

As stated before prep is key. These primers are all light, creamy and effective! 

Your foundation will apply smoothly and last a REALLY long time.

I use the Mattifying Primer in my t-zone and my nose.
Then I follow up with Radiant Primer Caramel on my dark areas.
It's amazing under the eyes.

If you see these in stores- Get them ASAP!

Make Up For Ever Spring 2015

Last month, I had the opportunity to attend a Make Up For Ever Spring 2015 event.

There were quite a few products I know you all would be excited to try out!

The star of the show were the Step 1 Skin Equalizers!

These are primers that not only transform skin’s texture but also creates the ultimate canvas.

What you should know:

• 10 Formulas to address dullness, shine, dryness, shine & dehydration.
• The formulas can be layered.

As a mascara fiend, I'm ready for the SMOKY STRETCH Lengthening & Defining Mascara.

This is a mascara that doesn't need to be layered. It has a Flex Control complex which will glide on your lashes to built definition and length. 

Last but not least, there is a new Pro Sculpting Duo.

MAKE UP FOR EVER Artist Shadows + Swatches!

How do you perfect a perfect product! 

One of the first brands I discovered at Sephora was Make Up For EVER. 

They have the most pigment, pure and innovative products on the market.

A few weeks ago, I was invited to a MUFE party which introduced us to the new line of shadows. 

I'm so impressed. Each swatch was silky and vivid.

We also had the opportunity to customize our own MAKE UP FOR EVER Custom Artist Palette! 

A highly-blendable, gel-powder eye shadow and powder blush with vivid color payoff.

I wanted to make a palette that could used be for every occasion. 

One requirement for me was that it HAD to have a deep/rich dark brown.

For a deeper-skinned woman of colour, this would be the ultimate face contour colour.

These shadows ($24.00 CAN) blend effortlessly, come in 210 colours and five different finishes.

-Matte

-Satin

-Iridescent

-Metal

-Diamond
