Hi everyone, trust you are all well :)
I'm sure a lot of us are aware of the Conventional Foundation Brush. Well, for the sake of some of us who would rather employ our fingers (trust me, its the best blending tool), the foundation brush looks something like this:
Recognize it now? Yes....., No..... Oh well!
Don't get me wrong, this brush is still great for applying your foundation, but for some of us who love the airbrushed finish, here's introducing to you my No. 1 tool for achieving that.
The Real Techniques Stippling Brush.
I have a darling friend who will definitely purchase this product just because of its colour, LOL!
I honestly can't stress it enough, but this brush is amazing for achieving high definition, airbrushed results. As you can see in the image above, the brush is quite wide - easy to grip and can even stand on its own. It doesn't shed hair and its perfect for applying cream blusher as well as other Liquid / Cream based products. It retails at £ 10 and is available at Boots and of course on Amazon and Ebay.
So, I say thumbs up to Samantha Chapman for creating this impressive tool.
Your Beauty Bestie,
Eniola
N. B: I bought this product with my money and I'm not being paid to review it :)

PRETTY PRETTY
Let me introduce my sister 'Lolade who hardly wears any makeup. As a matter of fact, her typical day makeup is just Lipgloss. Lipgloss, lipgloss and just lipgloss. So you can imagine my excitement when she obliged me the opportunity to do her full face makeup. Check out a few pictures below and I hope you love them as much as we do.

Tadaa! |
Here's a list of the products I used to achieve the look.
EYES
- NYC Brow Pencil and Rimmel in (Darrk Brown)
- Cranberry (Inner lid), Contrast (Outer lid) and Carbon by MAC
- Fashionista Supermodel Kohl Eyeliner in shade (Erin)
- Zoom Fast Black Lash by MAC
FACE
- Prime Perfect by Look Beauty ( Check out my previous post about it here)
- Matchmaster by MAC in shades (8.0) and (9.0)
- Studio Fix by MAC in shade (NW50)
- SLEEK Highlighter
LIPS
- MAC lip pencil in (Vino)
- KIKO Super Colour lipgloss in shade (04)
CHEEK
- SLEEK Blush by 3 palette in shade (Pink Parfait) and (Pinktini)
- SLEEK (2012 Collection) in shade (Honour)
The best part was the statement she made after the mini photoshoot.....'I think I should start wearing makeup now'. One of the amazing remarks any makeup artist loves to hear!

PRIMER : LOOK BEAUTY
Hey sweeties,
Trust you are all keeping well. Apologies for my prolonged silence. I promise to post helpful stuff more often.
Oooookay! Back to makeup :)
In the past few weeks, I got loads of questions from people asking me to suggest good primers, and even though I was aware of a few good ones, I just had to do a little more research.
So far, I have personally declared the best primer to be the one by BELLA PIERRE. I do not own one myself, I only test this product each time I go to a departmental store, but I swear by this product guys, it is absolutely amazing. It helps your makeup last longer, fills in your pores, creates a smoother canvas for your makeup, and combats oily skin. Of course its not cheap, it retails for £44 and that's exactly why I have not bought it....yet!
However, I was at Superdrug last week, and even though I had promised not to move close to the makeup section, I still found myself hovering around the area ( I know that's one promise I may never fulfil). After moving from one brand to the other, I finally found this amazing primer by LOOK BEAUTY.
Here's a picture of it.
Honestly, I am wowed by this product. The smooth finish it leaves is quite similar to the Bella Pierre Primer and for just £10, I say its a MUST HAVE especially for people like myself that have oily skin.
So, give it a go sweeties, and please let me know what you think of it.
