Shelf life of makeup.

Eye pencil & Eyeshadow
Eye pencil and Eyeshadow is 2 year preservable, just make sure that you continue sharping your eye pencil. Also apply your eyeshadow with a brush.

Mascara 
Mascara is 6 to 12 months preservable. Make sure you get the brush not pumping up and down too often. Otherwise the mascara dries out quicker.

Lipstick & Lipgloss
lipstick and Lipgloss is 2 year preservable. After a while it dries out and this is not very good for your lips.

Foundation
Foundation is 1 year preservable. But this depends on whether it's oil-based or not. Because oil-based is 1,5 year preservable.

Concealer
Concealer is a year preservable just like foundation. Apply it with a brush so you prevent bacteria.

Powder and Blush
Powder and Blush is 2 year preservable. Apply it with a brush!

Liquid Eyeliner
Liquid Eyeliner is 6 months preservable. It will dry out very fast.

Nail polish
Nail polish is 1 to 2 year preservable. It depends on the quility of the nail polish.

Clean your brushes often for the hygiene.

Review: Mac brave and soar


I really love mac lipsticks, i love the colors.. The texture.. Everything. 

So since my velvet teddy one is almost empty i decided to buy a new one.

I basically bought velvet teddy because i love Kylie Jenner's look and i didn't do much research about it and thought this was the one.. 

Obviously it wasn't the same. 

So i started searching for that color and i knew it was a lipliner but i thought she worn lipstick aswell. 

So i ordered brave (satin) which is a beautiful color 

So i was just waiting for that to arrive and then i went shopping in Amsterdam.. Where i (finally) found "Soar" the lipliner that Kylie wears. It's been out of stock for a really long time and finally it was there. 

I use the lipliner all over my lips and i really like the way it looks!
It's a bit creamy when you apply it. 
It's matte (duh) 
I just love it.  

I haven't tried brave yet. But i think i might use this over the lipliner for an ombre look. Brave is a beautiful color and i will also wear it alot without the lipliner! 
It's just a perfect color! 

Swatch of brave coming soon but this is what Soar looks like on me.. 


(Not my best pic but oh well)

Daily makeup: Fabienne

Hi! I'm going to show you what i use on a regular school day.. Since i got a lot of questions about my foundation, eyebrows and all haha 

First i use a primer.. 
I bought this one in London and so far i haven't seen it in The Netherlands :( 

 

Then i'm taking my favourite foundation, it's called perfection lumière by chanel. 
I use chanel foundation because i really love the way it looks and feels on my skin, the color matches perfectly. I just haven't came across a good drugstore foundation yet but i will try a cheaper one soon haha. 

Anyway, this foundation is a bit mattifying but it also adds a little shine into your face which makes you look fresh and awake. 
I use this in the color 20, beige. 

Oh, i'm using the real techniques "expert face brush" to apply this! 

I have really dark circles underneath my eyes so i always use a concealer. This one is by benefit and it's called "boi-ing". 
I also use this for any blemishes. I use this in the color 01. 


For a highlighter i like to use the Touche Eclat by YSL in the color 1,5. 


Then to set everything i'm using a translucent powder, the one i'm using is from a dutch drugstore but you can get a powder like this ar any drugstore really. 


Then my eyebrows, i'm using Anastacia browpowder duo in the color dark brown. I think i have this for like a year now but it's still far from empty. 


I'm very pale so i need a good blush, i'm using hervana by benefit. 


A good lipstick to finish it with and i'm ready to go! I usually wear nude or pink. 

The reason why i didn't show you a mascara is because i don't use any, i have lash extensions since my one lashes or asian (really straight), i just can't deal with it haha. 

This was my everyday makeup! 

Much love. 


Daily make-up: Angela


First I begin with the NYC primer, it makes your skin soft and gives your skin a good base for your foundation. You can use it if you have a sensitive skin. 

After that I use the Catrice concealer. I use this for my red spots and for under my eyes. Color 020

The foundation I use is from Rimmel London. It's a good tint for my skin and it's well covering. It's a very light weight foundation. Color 100 ivory.

For shaping my face and highlighting it I use Mac bronzing powder and skinfinish powder. I love this bronzer and highlighter, it also last very long. The bronzing powder is matte. It's just what I need to finish my make-up look.

My mascara is from Loreal Paris. This is the best mascara I have ever found. It's a good black mascara and your lashes will look very long. Also it will give your lashes a great volume. I have long lashes from myself so I don't use much mascara. 

And I use the Catrice pencil for my eyebrows. Just for shaping them and give it a nice color. Very easy to use! Color 020.

My lipstick is different everyday but most of the times I use a pink of natural color.
And then I'm ready to go!
