Prevent Your Eye Concealer From Creasing-3 Easy Steps


So the other im busy putting my makeup on...i check up on it a few hours later and i notice that my eye concealer has creased under my eye. THE HORROR! I thought OH MY GOD! Am i getting wrinkles?? But after i googled this,i found that alot of woman have this problem.
The concealer settles into the fine lines under the eye and it really is not a pretty sight!

After searching for solutions  and testing it out,i discovered the best solution for me.

I love this way because im always rushing to get to work in the morning so this is simple and quick.

What you need: A wedge sponge,eye primer and a good setting powder.

Step 1

Make sure that your eye area is not oily.
Prime your under eye area just as you would prime your eyelid.(I use the Urban Decay Primer).


Step 2

Apply concealer to your under eye area.

Step 3

Use a brush or sponge wedge to apply the setting powder under your eye.
Dust off any excess (to avoid excess product causing it to cake or crease)


Thats it! Try not to go overboard with the powder because then it will defeat the purpose.

I used my Urban Decay eye primer(check my review on this primer here ,my Mac concealer and my Smashbox setting powder(Opan invisible oil blocking powder is good too)




What i used to prevent concealer creasing

Well,this is what works for me,what works for you?

Please feel free to share your beauty secrets under comments!I would love to read about it :)

Smashbox Lash Dna Review


This mascara provides length and a curl effect.Has a unique brush that catches all the hard to reach lashes.
Brand
Smashbox

Where to Buy
Woolworths

Before and After
This is what Smashbox says:
Smashbox Lash DNA Mascara contains a proprietary complex of proteins and amino acids that bind to lashes-creating mega-length and curl while conditioning and rebuilding former lash damage. The double-helix brush lengthens and separates every lash, no matter how small, for the ultimate fanned-out effect.
This is what I say:)
According to Smashbox, this mascara seems to be all about the brush and the brush is its most redeeming feature.It gives me lashes I want without any clumps.
The brush works great to add a false lash effect. The brush has an hourglass shape but Still gets bigger on the end.

                                             

I love that this mascara does not leave my lashes hard and stiff but rather soft and defined. I find that its also easy to remove this mascara from my lashes.
I love using it in the evening. It also does not irritate my eye like other mascaras do.its very gentle and eye friendly:)

Smashbox Splendid Lipstick Review


Splendid is Spendid INDEED!
Sheer,coral,glossy finish to the lip.perfect for Srring!
Brand
Where to Buy
Woolworths
Rubybox


Pretty Coral


The color is a glossy coral pink that is semi opaque.
When i saw this lipstick online at Rubybox,i thought it would be a bright coral but when i received it,it was a very light,natural glossy coral color. It does have a shimmering effect to it.

For me personally,i cannot wear this lipstick on its own.I usually apply lipgloss over it just for a pop :)

It is moisturizing and i have dry lips so it works great.I love the way it just glides on your lips.I love the creamy formula.

Swatched

Its a very sheer color,you can rub it 10 times and it will still appear on your lips AND even better!

The color does not show as much if you have pigmented lips but if you really love the color then dab some concealer on your lip and glide on Splendid :) 
Natural on the lip
Nice sheer colour for Spring or Summer.Appears to be a bright coral but in fact,it is a very light coral that gives your lips a glow.


I bought mine from Rubybox at a bargain for only R64.
