Daily skincare Routine

Hi guys today's post is on my daily skin care
it is really important to cleanse and moisturise your skin daily as there are so many things that can damage the skin in every day life
so here is a basic week in my skin care routine :D

Daily
on a daily basis i will:
  • wash my face with an oil free cleanser to help prevent spots and blemishes.
  • pat dry my face with a clean dry towel
  • using a cotton pad buff in a cleanser to my skin
  • using a clean cotton pad i will blot off any excess product on my face
  • using another cotton pad i apply a small amount to toner and then buff this into the face
  • using a clean piece of tissue paper then blot off any excess toner from the skin
  • then I will use a roller ball under eye treatment or an eye cream to reduce dark circles and puffiness
  • then taking a pea size amount of moisturiser rub into the skin evenly
I do this to my skin when i get up and then before bed it insures soft skin although I still get spots at times.

Twice a week
  • twice a week I will ex-foliate my skin to remove any dead skin cells from my face I use a normal mild soap or my daily cleanser with a pair of ex-foliating gloves
  • use a pore strip in problem areas such as my nose and chin
Once a week
  • once a week I will make a home made face mask and use this to refresh my skin I prefer to do this on a Sunday before a busy week

i hope this post has been helpful want to know the exact products i use how i make mky face mask ask me :) i am more than happy to help
bye for now

how to shape, shade and enhance eyebrows how i do mine and tips for light eyebrows

Hi guys this post is a request from a few friends on how to shape shade and fill in eyebrows, also a few tips if you have really light brows so it don't look like you drew them on with a felt tip pen

lets get started :D

Shaping

This is completely up to you weather you go to get them done in a salon have them done by a friend or yourself, if someone else is doing them for example in a salon they will know the shape you need if a friend is doing them make sure they know what they are doing, if you do them yourself here are some tips;
  • using you eye as a guide and a white eye-liner pencil mark from the inner corner of your eye up to your eyebrow the same with middle of the eye and the outer corner so this will show you where the natural start finish and arch of your brow is. See image down below.
  • start to pluck from the underneath of the brow to make the more desired shape if you prefer them thin or thick, always follow the natural curve of your brow - there are other ways to shape , waxing or threading , I advise having these done professionally if you have never done them before - there are also eyebrow shaping kits you can purchase from superdrug and boots these are a reasonable price for what you have in the packs.
  • after plucking brows apply a cooling gel and antiseptic cream to the brow too avoid infections.

Shade and Enhance

Shading brows is more difficult than it appears there are many specialist brow cakes available but you don't have to buy these you can use a brow pencil MUA (superdrug only brand) do a great brow pencil for only £1 i recommend this if your a starter, also using a light brown eye liner or eye shadow and an angled brow brush is also a good option.
personally I use the MUA pencil or another brow pencil but using a powder is just as simple :D
  • using a brow pencil or eye liner you want to make small strokes following the natural flow of the hair using a cotton bud blend out any harsh lines into the brow you can make the arch look higher and more prominent.
  • using eye shadow is the same as a pencil using an angled brush use small strokes fill in the brow doing this brush make sure to always blend blend blend so colours do not look so harsh against the skin unless this is a look you want.
Some tips for light brows

  1. use a light pencil or shadow
  2. try not to make the colour harsh
  3. blend out all colour to make it flow against skin
  4. if you want darker brows use 1 shade darker than your normal shade this will make them appear darker without making them look too dark
  5. make sure your foundation and eye shadow compliment the brows tidy

anything else you guys want to know message me ask me ill add it too a different post want a video on how to do eyebrows ask me ill show you both ways :) i am here to help you guys :) so don't be shy and ask me :D
love you all sweetie pies
