Make up Tips

How to choose a perfect foundation for your skin tone..

Make sure your skin is free from make up and walk out to the sunlight..

If your face turns red, that's mean you have a cool skin tone. You may choose porcelain or ivory foundation. If your face turns yellowish, tan or dark, that's mean you have a warm skin tone. You may choose yellow base foundation such as golden or honey..

Mustika Ratu Stick Foundation & Loose Powder

Stick Foundation

Pros:

- Can be used for light make up

- Price is much affordable

Cons:

- It wasnt really has a good coverage though, but I think it is suitable for daily use coz we dont need heavy make up on daily basis rite??

- Stick Foundation is not recomendded for those with oily skin, yeah..mine is oily on T Zone..It makes my skin shiny on the The Zone, the foundation is really gone on that area..

Loose Powder

Pros:

- The texture is very light and smooth on skin

- nice smell

- Price is much afforadble

Cons:

- Not suitable for me, because the powder is totally gone on my T Zone area

Both Loose Powder & Stick Foundation comes in two shades, the light and the dark one..if you wear the light foundation make sure your wear the dark loose powder and vice versa..this is to balance the skin color, if not either your skin will look too fair or too dark..

My 2 cent - I think this foundation & powder are perfect for those with normal skin..;)

How to apply lip gloss

Got this tip from one of Make Up Gurus & also from the beauty corner in The Malay Mail..

"For applying lip gloss, just dab a little in the middle of your lips. This gives an illusion of fuller, plumper lips"
