Can Makeup Application Really be Perfect?

Hey Glamour Dolls,

While I was doing my makeup yesterday, I thought about all of the gripes that I have with perfecting my makeup routine. Doesn't it always seem like it's something to work on? Something to perfect?

When I look at the work of other makeup artists, celebrity makeup artists, You Tube gurus and fellow bloggers- I think, "wow, their makeup looks perfect!" I never feel that way about my makeup. The funny thing is, when I have clients I hear others say that the client looks really well but I can't seem to duplicate the same thing on myself... at least I don't think so.

I'll share my list of makeup woes that I'm perfecting and feel free to share yours, if you have any!

I'm perfecting my:

False eyelash application

Applying eyeliner with a steady hand so that it doesn't look crooked

Creating a more polished brow


What are you pefecting?

Hey Ms. Viva Glam, yes I feel the same way all the time I feel like im always trying to perfect my foundation routine, putting on strip and individual eyelashes I am getting better at it but it can be very frustrating, and a lastly believe or not my blush and contour application. So im practicing hoping to perfect my applications with these products.

Cocoa: I would never know you felt that way. You're one of the ones that I'm always "wowed" at when it comes to makeup. I know-strip lashes are frustrating at times, that's why I haven't even tried individuals. I'm still working on contouring-I usually end up looking to dark when I contour...we'll get the hang of it though :)

@ Girl Rates World: We both feel the same. I do admire your eyeliner application... it's always straight and perfect.

As you know, my hang-up is contouring. I also want to learn how to apply lashes.

Mac Face and Body Foundation Review

One of my most used foundations is the Mac Face and Body liquid foundation. I've been promising a  review on it, so here it is. Product Claims "A water-based, water-resistant foundation that provides long-lasting, natural coverage for face and/or body. Ideal for all skin types. Face and Body Foundation provides sheer, natural looking coverage in an easy to blend, water-resistant formula. The long-lasting formula is available in a wide range of colours and contains several emollients to help moisturize and condition the skin. It delivers professional looking results that meet the exacting standards of beauty photography and is ideal for perfecting the face and body." Pros -Price is $32.50 retail and about $19 if you're a Mac pro card member (That could be a con based on your finances). -For the price you pay it gives you a lot of foundation. It's in a 4 fl oz bottle. -Because it's water based it doesn't feel heavy, it feels very light on the face. ...

Well-Being: A Better Night's Sleep

  Hello, Dolls A good night's sleep is something I've been chasing after for years. Like many people, my nights can be chaotic. Not to mention, I've been suffering with insomnia for years, yes years.     It takes me a while to unwind and fall asleep, and when I finally do, I wake up several times throughout the night. I’ve taken several sleep aids and remedies through the years. I've tried teas, linen sleep sprays, over the counter and prescription aids, and almost every lavender night time product out there. Some were helpful at first, but after a while, I think my body got immune to it. So, I was very curious when Highline Wellness gifted me a bottle of their CBD Night gummies. I was skeptical at first, but they’re really working for me.  The melatonin helps you to fall asleep, and CBD helps you to stay asleep. I’m able to fall asleep faster, and stay asleep longer. An added benefit is I don’t wake up the next morning experiencing grogginess like I’ve felt with ot...

Creme of Nature Lemongrass and Rosemary Leave-In Conditioner Review

After promising myself to take better care of my hair, I read in a hair care magazine that if you have breakage or dry hair (like my hair) to consider purchasing a leave-in conditioner, since you don't have to rinse it out-the conditioner keeps on working and conditioning your hair. This was perfect for me because I'm really lazy when it comes to styling and taking care of my own hair... usually I look for products that are easy and quick to use. I do use Creme of Nature's Detangling shampoo, so I figured I would buy their leave-in conditioner. FYI- Creme of Nature is a brand that specializes in hair care products for women of color, who have natural or relaxed hair. They mostly use natural ingredients in their products, which they call "Certified Organic." Product Claims "Pamper your hair with this creme-based formula to soften, detangle, and provide the ultimate conditioning.  Perfect for color treated hair, organic  Lemongrass works to tone and hig...
