The Power of Makeup

The Power of makeup for women is far more than just looking different and getting addicted to pallete shopping. It's how it makes her feel and the power that it enforces when she wears a good look out. In a way it lets people know of your standards, for some men you will be surprised it's intimidating but for some men it's like that's beautiful, sexy, and inspiring to their own loves maybe that there own wife or girlfriend could try. but lol really shouldn't be said though. 

Simply wearing lipstick boosts a women's confidence, it just makes her feel polished and she had a chance to express herself in other ways. like an artist with an aisle. 

And for those whom don't need it and embrace their own natural beauty all the power to you. i've seen such great faces that honestly makeup would just take away the gorgeous in this face.

but for others they may need practice and haven' taken that plunge just yet into makeup and just automatically shun it away. 

Strobing makeup

capturing light on the face, I think for those whom really like highlighter the best formulation is loose highlight. The shine and gleam that they carry is so pigmented and the tiny flakes of highlighter lay on the skin light and spread over far better to me. 

It's also fine to layer highlighters like layering eye shadows, bronze highlighters can top off white base highlighters or powder baked highlighter can be enhanced with loose yellow glitter shadows. 

Beauty Bakerie Makeup

I ve been enjoying the foundations from Beauty Bakerie, I use foundation in number 17 and 15 in the winter.
it's creamy consistency and comes with a pump nozzle I enjoy. So I decided to venture out and try other things from the line. I got Flour setting powder in Oat and the illuminators and this time I was able to try eyeshadow palette called Game of Cones. I am so Happy with my Purchases!!!
The packaging is super cute.

Beauty Bakerie Demi Matte Foundation in 15

Really enjoyed working with this foundation, after watching the reviews made by the creator herself and jackie on youtube I decided to take the plunge on this company.

I had been hearing about their lip whips on instagram and just the company was really good at marketing. Everything was compared to baked goods and had waterproof bold colors. 

I was just in time for them to venture out of the lippies into foundations and waited for the launch.

It came and I had gotten number 17 demi matte first and it was way too dark and did kind of get more oily looking later in the day, I didn't use a powder to set it or used primer just used it at bare bones.

Afterwards I spray a toner and apply a powder base and mixed beauty bakerie demi matte foundation 17 with a matte foundation in a lighter shade and that shade was a neutral. 

I set all of it with a press powder foundation to maintain color and sprayed immediately after with a rose water toner. ( i mean to say immediately because of the fact I waited for it to bake and it left the skin dry and overly matte look)

Keep in mind when working with these demi mattes is that you need a moist face when using it.

And you will need with a dry sponge, I like a beauty blender on this and also patting a colored powder over it. 

Best Mist was Flower Hydrating makeup setting mist

& 7 vegetables hydrating face mist 

Last would be Garnier Rose Water face mist for setting

Tried Elf Matte setting spray and just didn't like the finish the spray is very heavy.

Nyx matte setting spray had them same finish as the Elf setting spray.

After working with the Demi matte in 17 I was ready to get a lighter color, 15 was it or so I thought.

I've worn it with a matte neutral foundation so it would set matte all day but it did lighten the finish, 

So I have been making it work with a shade lighter but if they have a 16 I would be happy with that.

I do like how it doesn't have a heavy transfer, co worker hugged me and it have very little transfer and I am sure it was my powder foundation I use to set my makeup.
