Beauty Tips | Natural Look | Make Up

Hi Loves!

So sorry its been ages since I posted, I've been so busy with life lately. Well here I am back with a pretty interesting post. I myself am not a big fan of wearing a lot of make-up. It's just me - as much as I love it, I prefer the more natural look.

Here are a few tips I put together on how to perfect that flawless natural look with minimal make-up.

So many of you ask, should I wear lipstick? Should I apply mascara? Which eye-shadow would give me a natural look without over doing it?

The Perfect Skin Tone

To get the even skin tone, your go to products are concealer, foundation and powder. Remember never to apply foundation which is a shade darker than your own skin tone as this just spoils the whole look and won't look right. When choosing a good concealer also make sure that it is a shade lighter than your foundation.

Eyebrows

When it comes to those brows, what you need to do is give them more definition by doing what we ladies love most, filling them in with eye shadow or your go to brow pencil. We always gotta have our brows on point right?! I think that our eyebrows do really give that finishing touch to our look, especially when going for that natural finish. A little tip is to always use a brow pencil/shadow which is a shade that reflects your hair color. Brunettes should go for more rich and dark hues while blondes would go for light  browns as opposed to darker tones.

Eyes

I don't usually do to much to my eyes except a little mascara but sometimes I like to use a little brown eyeliner or a bit of brown eye shadow just at the base of the bottom lashes and blend. I use brown instead of black again for that more natural feel without giving my eyes too much of a dramatic look. You can then opt to use a brown mascara for your lashes, or if you prefer a black.

Lips

We must never forget our darling lips girls! Even if we are going for a natural look, our lips should always have something on. I tend to go for a glossy or matte nourishing lip balm. Right now i'm loving Yves Rocher's lip balm in Vanilla Epicee. It was part of a Christmas edition I got given and It does wonders. If you're not a fan of lip balms, you can always go for a sheer lip gloss with maybe a little shimmer to it.

Did you all find these tips interesting? Do any of you have any other tips for a natural look? I'd love to hear them in the comments bellow!

Gerard Cosmetics | Colour Your Smile Lighted Lip Gloss | Pink Frosting | Review

Hi Loves!

I Hope you all had a fantastic weekend. I'm really dreading the heat here in Malta right now. Its just TOO hot.. Please whisk me off to somewhere cold. Maybe Australia? 

Today I'll be reviewing the Gerard Cosmetics Colour Your Smile Lighted Lip gloss in Pink Frosting. When it comes to Lip gloss, I am really really picky. It's always hard for me to find the right shade and right consistency. I've tried so many and just been disappointed. Oh and cute packaging! I'm a sucker for that.

I was recommended to try Gerard Cosmetics out so I was like hey ho let's give it a go! I watched so many reviews by Beauty Vloggers on YouTube which convinced me more to try out the brand. 

What makes them unique and standout is the fact that they have a little mirror on the side and the base of the applicator lights up!

When it came to picking a shade, I could have got the whole range but slow down tiger.. I was looking for something natural, not to full on color with a little bit of shimmer. 

As I was going through the shades 'Pink Frosting' caught my eye. THERE YOU ARE! MINE ALL MINE! It was the exact shade I was looking for. Not too pink, a little bit of shimmer and very natural looking. It glides on so well and you don't need that much on. The formula is great! I would say creamy. The colour is opaque and they aren't to sticky at all. With regards to wear, I was fairly happy with how long it lasted - I would say 3 hours.  I then just touched up in between eating and drinking. 

Would I buy this again and would I purchase more shades? BIG YES! 

This is not a sponsored post -  I purchased this Lip Gloss with my own money and I wanted to share my honest thoughts with you.

Thank you for reading! Do you have any favorite Color Your Smile Lighted Lip Gloss Shades or any other Gerard Cosmetic products you'd like me to review?

With Love Sarah Belle
