As we all know prom is coming up for the high school sweet hearts and sweeties! I did this classy subtle smokey eye makeup for one of my clients. She wanted a clean, simple, elegant look, not so over done. I also did some light contouring of the cheeks to slim out and define those gorgeous cheekbones! It came out beautifully the eye shadow colors really made her eyes glow, she loved it!

She wore a beautiful black gown which really accentuated her curves nicely and some pretty silver cinderella slippers,hehe(well they were heels actually).







I love putting makeup on others and make them feel glamorous on their special days. It's an amazing feeling when you see their faces light up after the makeup application!

Also If your in my area and would like your makeup done for prom or any other special occasion EVEN a night out with the girls please email me at msjanetmua@yahoo.com

Thank you

Lip Print Paints


Here are a few lipsticks and liners I been loving. Great quality and very affordable.




Left to Right:Burgundy,Sexy Pink,Wild Clover

The Rimmel 1000 kisses lip liner has the strongest long lasting power I have ever experienced with any other lip liner.


I like to pair up my lip liners with my l/s because they help the color last longer on my lips.


Left To Right:Beloved,Peach Me, Pink Pout

The Beloved color above is a lipstain from the Just Bitten Collection by Revlon. It is an awesome lipstain for the price sold. But I feel that your lips need to be exfoliated before applying or it can look kind of dull and chapped of course.




I am loving Peach me by revlon, the color is so original looks great on any skin tone. Stay tuned for my fave hair products soon to come!
KISSES...

Rimmel Match Perfection Foundation & Then Some..


Hi girls,

Today I wanted to do a little review on a few face products that I am enjoying. Some having a few cons but mostly more pros! With that said my first product is the new...

Rimmel Match Perfection Foundation Smart-Tone Technology
First and foremost, what I look forward to FIRST in my foundation is the COVERAGE. In my opinion the only reason one should wear foundation is to cover up ALOT of blemishes. If u only have a few here and there stick to a tinted moisturizer, trust me your face will thank u for it.

Next thing I look for in the foundation is the texture of it like how easy it is to blend and how it feels on my skin and how it makes it look whether it's too dry or oily looking. For starters let's begin with the pros of this foundation:

PROS:
Light Weight Formula-Allows skin to breathe.
Easy to blend
Smells good
Dewy-If u like that look go for it!
Affordable price
CONS:
Light Coverage-You really have to pack it on for that medium to full coverage.
Smart tone technology-Just a gimmick in my opinion
Pink undertone-I like the yellow undertone for my olive skin.
Transfers-Very smudgy with or without powder
Lasting power is minimal- maybe up to 7-8hrs wear with powder.
Greasy Look-Only if it's really hot and sunny out.
Available in 6 shades
No pump

My final thoughts about this foundation is that if you do not have ALOT of blemishes just your minor uneven skin tone problems check this foundation out. If you like the dewy look this is the best foundation for that as well.



These next two products are from ELF Cosmetics. Their Total Face brush and concealer brushes are great. Although the foundation brush I find that it's better to use as a concealer brush as it tends to make the foundation apply on your face very streaky. The face brush I use for everything, powders,bronzer,blush and blending out foundation and concealer. One con would be it sheds just like one or two bristles while cleaning or applying product.



Both cost only $1 at TARGET or http://www.eyeslipsface.com.ph/home
Anyways thanks for stopping by and stay tuned more to come!
xO!

Luminess Air Airbrush Cosmetics System

Hey ladies are you tired of rubbing your makeup onto your skin? I know I am and that's why I decided to try out something different. The most recent makeup fad is the airbrush makeup! You might know about this trend or not but it's been around for quite a while especially in the celebrity world. Even though it can be costly it is definitely a good product to invest. Especially great to have for them special occasions such as weddings or proms. Many people have a misconception that it's only for professionals in the makeup industries. As this is true, it may also be used by ordinary people like yourself and I. Contrary to what you may be thinking this airbrush system is very easy to use and believe it or not less time consuming.

My number one reason why I love this airbrush system besides the facts mentioned earlier is that the foundation that is used does not smudge, smear, stain or transfer onto your clothes or hands. Once it is applied to the face it instantly dries giving no time for any transferable errors. Another reason why I love this is that the
foundation last a long time on your skin with no necessary touch-ups.

A second reason I love this stuff is that as easy as it is to apply its as easy as taking it off. I don't have to rinse it off more than once without worrying about any extra makeup residue left behind. It comes off just as easy even with plain old water.

Third reason, It hides your pores and fine lines! Creating beautiful youthful, radiant skin which is what I aim for this day in age from my foundation products since I'm in my late 20's already, YIKES! I want something that will help me remain looking younger and younger besides the option of the EXPENSIVE plastic surgery route.

The airbrush cosmetic system gives you a gorgeous natural finish unlike regular foundations which tend to look more cakey and feel heavy on the skin.

I actually thought it would take long to apply my foundation with the airbrush system but it was surprisingly a lot quicker than using brushes. Reason being, you don't waste time using any sponges or brushes to apply product and you don't spend more time blending it into the skin. Takes just a few minutes to get use to.

With that said, I would like to introduce you to Luminess Air, an amazing well-known cosmetic airbrush and tanning system company. They gave me the wonderful opportunity to try out their system and overall I am satisfied with their product. It works great and I had no problem learning how to use the system. It comes with an instructional dvd and booklet guide as well as four different shades so you can custom blend the foundation and get the right color-match for your skin. Also, you can use the foundations as concealers. I love the fact that they have five systems to choose from(each one with their own name) starting with a more basic to a professional and more advance kit. The system I have is the illuminess(1 speed). It comes with two eye shadows and a blush! What I love most is that the system is compact. It includes its own travel and storage kit making it convenient for traveling.

The cost is way more affordable than any other brands I have seen and even then you can make monthly payments if you can't or don't want to pay the full amount right away.



One thing I would like to point out is that if you have mild to severe acne I would not recommend using airbrushed foundation. With my experience using this product the formula of the foundation is just too thin to smooth out the appearance of my mild acne. Although, it did cover up my redness and acne very well I felt that the the consistency is to thin and did not do such a good job at giving the illusion of soft, smooth skin. I have Plenty other foundations high end and drugstore, that provide a better job at softening and smoothing out my face bumps.


(Brings 4 different shades to customize and be able to fit your exact skintone; included to the far right is the airbrush blush)

On the downside, I don't like so much the cost of the eye shadows and foundation. I think it's a little too overpriced but then again the product will last you for quite a while.

Also, the eye shadows are a bit harder to apply to the eye if your going for a more smokey look, takes some practice before you can master that technique! Another thing about the eye shadows is that they take longer to dry than the foundation which can cause slight creasing or a mud like appearance if you blink before the e/s dries and its hard to fix it because the makeup is smudge proof. But a little powdered eye shadow can do the trick!

So far their cosmetics are only available on their website but they will soon be sold at Ulta! So please feel free to check them out especially if your a makeup artist or just interested in trying a new, easy and quick way to apply makeup.

Might do a video on youtube to give a brief self opinionated review on this product so stay tuned and if you haven't done so yet subscribe at youtube.com/beautymarxed for more beauty related info. Thank you!!
