Beauty Heroes that Actually Live Up to the Hype

-
We are bombarded with beauty products that boast about their amazing benefits, but they don’t always live up to the hype. In this post, I am going to share some beauty products that are not only good, but actually do what they claim and a little more!

Micellar Water

Micellar Water is a product that has become popular over the past year or so. It claims to be an all-in-one cleanser that removes makeup and soothes your skin all at the same time. It’s also applicable on all skin types, even sensitive skin. I have personally used it and absolutely LOVE it, as it gently and effectively removes makeup without feeling harsh or abrasive. It has no alcohol, oil or fragrance, so it really is safe to use. I would give this product a huge thumbs up!

Aquafor

Aquafor is a brilliant product. If you are a parent then you probably already put this product to good use! It lives up to it’s promise to soothe minor cuts and burns, relieve dry and chapped skin, moisturize and protect your skin. I have used this product since my son was a baby for help with diaper rashes, cuts, healing dry skin and so much more. And I have also used it professionally as a makeup artist to create special effects. It’s a MUST HAVE for anyone. It’s gentle enough to use around sensitive areas and very effective.

Concealer

NARS Radiant Creamy Concealer is HOT right now. It’s creamy and feels delicious on your skin. The color payoff is beautiful and the coverage is medium to full. It can be used as a concealer or highlight depending on your color story. It’s an award winner and a great addition to your makeup kit. Professionally, I love the texture and use it on many of my brides.

Powder

I love Laura Mercier Translucent Powder and have it in my kit at all times. It claims to be a silky powder with a sheer coverage that helps makeup last, and it lives up to those claims. I can use this product on most skin tones and it is good for all skin types as well. As a setting powder with a velvety silky finish, it helps makeup last for hours on end. If you happen to be stepping on a red carpet in the near future, it creates a smooth surface on your skin that doesn’t allow for flashback from cameras. This product passes my test with flying colors!

Brow Brush

GladGirl’s Be Brow Beautiful – Retractable Micro Pencil is a dual ended pencil with a brow brush on one end and a micro eyebrow pencil on the other. I have really started using this brow pencil as of late and love how small the pencil is, which allows me to easily fill in eyebrow spaces that just need a little bit of love. I tend to use powder and a pencil and am loving how easy it is to make brush strokes with this pencil and how lightly it transfers. I also like how it gives brows a natural look instead of looking overdone. Another virtual high five to this BOMB beauty product!
These products are the real deal! They do what they say and say what they do! These products are tried and true beauty heroes that will come to your rescue each time!

Airbrushing

NOTE: Airbrush makeup is NOT to be confused with Airbrushing in Photoshop. It often is. To know where we are going, first we need to know where we are at, right? While I now endorse and use airbrush makeup, it's not the end-all, be-all magic potion that some suggest that it is. Like all things, there is a time and a place for it, but in order to know if airbrush makeup or traditional makeup is the right choice, let's go over the myths.  Myth: Airbrush Makeup will make me flawless. Any makeup can make you the prettiest version of yourself you can be, it doesn’t have to be airbrush and there are many times it isn’t. The correct application for your own personal needs is more important. (Read: It’s much more important that you hire a great artist than an artist solely based on if they airbrush or not). You know all those nifty YouTube video’s that show you how entirely unrealistic magazine images are? We cannot change the texture of your skin. Only PhotoShop can.

Lash Lift

Q: Can you explain the process during the Lash Lift? A: Silicone pads that mould to the shape of your lash line are adhered to the eyelid. A bonding gel then grips the natural lashes onto the pads in an upwards and outwards direction, so that the lashes are pointing straight up to the brows. (This is where the technology is more advanced than a lash “perm” as there are no cylindrical rods, which can accidentally over curl the lashes back onto themselves). A perm solution, followed by a neutraliser are applied, followed by a lash conditioner to nourish the natural lashes, and finally a lash tint to complete the transformation. Q: Why is it so successful in making you look younger? A: Most women will notice their first fine lines around the sides and beneath the eyes. The lash lift commands so much attention to the lashes – which are practically crawling up the eyelids upwards and outwards – so it draws focus away from those lines. The treatment has become known for making the eye area l
