My Makeup Look Breakdown

Hey all! yesterday was a fun family day-out day. We had lots of fun with our relatives who are staying in Dxb for a couple of days. We pretty much spent the entire day out, and since I knew we were going to do that I decided to go with a makeup look that would last me the entire day. This is a break down of the makeup I wore yesterday:

Foundation

Revlon Colorstay Oily/Combination 

I mixed Natural Tan 330 and Sand Beige 180 to get my exact coloring.

I don't usually wear this foundation but since I needed a foundation that would last the whole day i decided to go with it. It stays put for 12 hours which is awesome!

Under-eye Concealer

Maybelline Dream Mousse Concealer in 01 Nude Beige

I love this concealer because it goes on very soothly + covers under eye circles very well

I usually set it with a loose powder to make sure it stays put

Blemishes Concealer

MAC Studio Finish Concealer in NC35

The best for covering blemishes and spots

Powder

MAC Studio Finish Powder Foundation in NC30

I like to set my foundation with this powder because it gives extra coverage

Eye Shadow

Coastal Scents Eyeshadow Palette

A great neutral colors palette. I used the black, brown and light brown to create a soft smoky look

Liquid Eye liner

Deborah

I love to line my eyes and this liquid eye liner is my favorite because it has a bendable applicator which makes lining my eyes super easy and fast

Eye liner

MAC Smolder

The darkest eyeliner I've used, but I always make sure I smudge it or set it with a black eye shadow when I put it on the lash-line so it doesn't move throughout the day

Mascara

Maybelline Falseis

Amazing mascara, all you need is one coat to get full long lashes

Saves time

Bronzer

Benefit bronzer in Hoola

Amazing bronzer which suits almost all skin tones

Blush

Benefit blush in Coralista

A fun bright color

Lip liner

MAC lip liner in Spice

Lipstick

MAC Viva Glam v

One of my favorite nude lipsticks

The makeup stayed put all day and I didn't even have to retouch it with powder or eye liner which was great!

Hope you enjoyed this post

Stay beautiful,

xoxo

My Favorite Mascaras At the Moment + Mini Reviews of Each

Max Factor False Lash Effect Mascara

My favorite of all time, gives full separated lashes

this particular one is a limited edition purple color packaging, but the original packaging is black

Overall Performance: 10/10

YSL False Lash Effect Mascara

This mascara is a bit on the dry side, the wand is quit clumpy but on the lashes it gives an incredible result; long thick lashes

it comes in black and blackest black

it drys up pretty quickly though, I'd say in a bout a month if you'd use it everyday

Overall Performance: 9/10

Revlon Double Twist Mascara

I got this one about a week ago and its already probably my favorite at the mean time. It has such an interesting unusual wand and gives volume like there is no tomorrow! It also separates lashes without any clumping.

Overall I'd say it makes it look as if I have SOOO much more lashes than what I really do!

Overall Performance (till now): 8/10

Maybelline The Colossal Volum' Express Mascara

A dryer formulation; volumizies and separates, very build-able too

Overall Performance: 8/10

Too Faced Lash Injection Mascara

One of the hugest wands I've used. I love the effect it gives to the lashes; very full and kinda lengthes them too

However the want is so big that it makes the application kind of hard + it has a huge flaking problem! I always find flaking underneath my eyes whenever I wear it

Overall Performace: 7/10 (cause I still love how huge it makes the lashes look)

Maybelline The Falsies Volum' Express Mascara

Very, very, very watery consistency. It always masses up my eyeshadow unless I apply it extra carefully

It volumizes the lashes from the first swipe, it also kinda lengthens them

However it takes time to set and dry up on the lashes

Overall Performance: 7/10

Lo'real Telescopic Mascara (in Carbon Black)

This Mascara is so black and it makes lashes SO LONG

Overall Performance: 9/10

Mascaras Am Not Too fond of:

YSL Everlong Mascara

This mascara is just bad. It needs about 10 coats to start giving any effect on the lashes

am not kidding

Overall Performance: 0/10

Lo'real Million Lashes Mascara

I heard lots of positive reviews about this one, but I found it too watery and kind of clumpy

I tried to wear it and try it out more than once and I did, but I just don't like it

Overall Performance: 5/10

Benefit BAD gal Lash Mascara

The wand is huge and its very similar to Lash Ingection Mascara by Too faced

however it needs more than three coats to start giving the lashes a volumizing effect + in some weird way it makes the lashes look less than what they really are

Overall Performance: 4/10
