Today's post is all about dark skin tones and their best lipstick colors.

Day: Just a transparent lip gloss will leave your face with a luxurious fresh for daytime. If you prefer to play with colors, pick a shade between pink (Lavis) or orange brown (Livid) . All shades from Younique's Lucrative Lip Gloss.

Night: Choose a plum, wine (Lethal) or purple shade. Also from Younique's Lucrative Lip Gloss. If you choose a lipstick instead of gloss, go with a velvety finish as it will make it look more chic!

The right foundation

There are 3 types of foundation: a compact , cream and fluid
Why choose one over another ?  

  • Compact foundation - It is suitable for all skin types ; - For those who like a textured powder, semi - matte , velvety and prefers an application sponge ; - Perfect to bring in the portfolio , as turns out to be very compact and allow retouches throughout the day ;   

  • Cream foundation - Ideal for drier skins ; - For anyone who is a fan of rich textures and moisturizers ; - The application is done with the aid of a brush or with the fingertip ;   



  • Fluid foundation - Is the preferred normal to oily skin , precisely because of their lighter , fresh and oil-free texture; - As the base cream , the application is also made with a brush or your fingertips ;   Need help choosing your base ? In the next post some suggestions for bases !

A mascara quick trick that will make a difference


This is a very simple trick that all the celebrity make up artists have been using for ages:
Dip the brush into the mascara as usual, then clean it on a tissue. That's right, just swap it into a paper tissue to remove the excess of the mascara and they apply as usual. Allow a few seconds to dry and then repeat the procedure: this way you won't get the lumps on your lashes and the two layers of mascara will make your eyelashes fuller and bigger.
Don't worry about wasting the product on the tissue, you would have the clogged excess on the top of the mascara tube anyway and plus, mascaras have a very short expiration date (about 6 months).

How to look more awake in the morning


Mornings are a toll, we all know that. If you're not a morning person you just want to stay those 5 extra minutes in bed feeling comfortable. But the clock doesn't stop, and you can't get late to classes, you can't arrive late to work and you still need to get the kids ready to school. And you don't want to arrive to any of those places with that puffy face that begs for more sleep by itself.
Now get up and try this:
Get one of those cold gel eye masks and store it in the fridge the night before. In the next morning, put it in your face while you prepare the kids to school (they will laugh at you, but isn't it nice to start the day with their giggles?) or, while you prepare your breakfast. A couple of minutes will do the trick.
You don't need a lot of make up to look good, just stick to the basics: apply BB cream to even your skin tone: Younique has a range of tones that are suitable for every skin color.
Draw a black line on your upper lash line to bring the eyes up. Don't worry if your hand isn't very precise, you can smudge the line with a brush or even with a simple Q-tip. Apply the mascara in both your upper and lower lashes to open up your look, and some blush on your cheeks to give your face that healthy look.
Finish it with a pink or coral gloss and you're ready to go!
