rumour:

she was 16 years old and this was the kind of stuff she got asked in interviews and people wonder why shes mentally unstable 

seriously dude????

omg

She was constantly being asked whether her breasts were real and whether she was a virgin or not, all during the primary years of her career. Fucking disgusting.

On the night of the new year, when everyone was just watching the sky, he whispered to my ears, proposing me to be his girlfriend and i said yes. I said yes to something that i’ve always been afraid of — being someone’s girlfriend.

I’ve never thought of it as just a status, i think it’s beyond just what other people see us as. I’ve been afraid of answering such questions because there are so many other questions behind it, like

Are you ready for extra commitments?
Are you sure that things will still be the same?
Are you sure he’s the one you would want for the rest of your life?
Would you swim across the ocean for him?
Would you bleed for him?
Would you want to wake up in the morning to see his eyes looking into yours?

And after all these questions come running through my mind, i said yes, and i shut the world just to hear your laughter and hear you telling me you love me. I said yes, because i love him, and i see my future revolving around him. I couldn’t ask for a better new year.

But right now my worries are all for the day that’s to come in less than a week. I’m not gonna lose you, no one’s leaving anyone, but they’re gonna take you away for awhile. These 2 years are gonna be the toughest, but things will get better when it’s done. I’ll stick through if you stay true. I’ve learnt to accept the fact that sometimes things just don’t go our way, because the only way to go through it is to accept it.

But all’s good, because at least I got a new year present!

So today’s topic is about the popular: FOUNDATION

If you just started wearing foundation it can be difficult to apply and you can have some trouble finding the right shade for your skin. 

If you use foundation everyday it can crease and look cakey but the frustrating thing is that you don’t know what step is the one you are doing wrong. 

No worries, you are not the only one. Achieving a flawless finish to our foundation is something almost every beauty lover wants. We are looking for a smooth, fresh and perfect finish.

To be honest, there is no magic ritual celebrities or makeup artists do to achieve a beautiful look. The only secret when it comes to apply foundation is preparation and application.

This time I will tell you some amazing tips to get the perfect foundation look you have been looking for. 

1. PREPARE YOUR SKIN

image

Make sure your skin is clean and moisturized. You should wait five minutes before you apply foundation to let moisturizer sink in. Primer is a skippable step unless your makeup has to last through a late night. Or use it alone on lazy days as a quick complexion smoother. Primer can minimize pores and mattify your face. 

2. SELECT YOUR FOUNDATION COVERAGE 

image

Do you want sheer, medium or  full coverage? How much of your natural skin do you want to show through your foundation? You’ll find foundation colors in all different types of coverage, so decide what finish you like best.

• IF YOU ARE LOOKING FOR A LIGHT COVERAGE: 

— WEAR A POWDERY FOUNDATION  

One of the best things abou this foundation is that you are going to save money because you don’t need a powder to set it anymore. 

Powdery foundation is recommend for normal to oily skin. 

image

— WEAR A BB CREAM! 

This is not considered as a foundation itself  but if you just want to cover little blemishes and redness this is the best option for you. 

BB cream is recommend for dry, normal and oily skin.

• IF YOU ARE LOOKING FOR A MEDIUM COVERAGE: 

— WEAR A LIQUID FOUNDATION

To get a medium coverage you just need to build up your foundation in layers.

Liquid foundations are recommend for dry and normal skin.  

If you have oily skin you can wear a liquid foundation just make sure you get an oily-free one. 

image

• IF YOU ARE LOOKING FOR A HIGH COVERAGE:

— WEAR A CREAMY FOUNDATION

Creamy foundations look amazing in HD videos and in professional photos, this is the product that models, artists and actresses wear to film shows, commercials and movies. 

Creamy foundations are recommend for dry to normal skin.

3. FIND THE PERFECT SHADE

image

Test foundation on your jawline or cheeks and check it in the daylight. If you are not sure if you picked the right color make sure it disappears without blending. But, before you go selecting your shade we should be looking at our undertones. We are either cool, neutral or warm. 

Down below you will discover what is your undertone.

COOL UNDERTONES

image
image

If you’re cool, the veins on your inner wrist appear blue, you tend to turn a flushed pink color in the sun, and you burn easily, so you want to look for a foundation that has rosier, redder, or blue base. 

WARM UNDERTONES:

If you’re warm, the veins on your wrist appear green, and you quickly bronze or darken in the sun, so look for a foundation that has a golden or yellow base.

NEUTRAL UNDERTONES:

Neutral skin tones can pretty much pulls off any color but do tend to sway favorably one way. Neutral toned people can wear just about any color and look great. Some neutral skin tones pull towards warm or cool.If you’re aneutral pulling warm tones then you will look best in warm but still look good in cool tones. If you are neutral pulling cool tones then you will look best in cools but still look good in warm tones. 

 4. TOOLS AND TOOLS

If you want just a little coverage, use your fingers, pros advise. If you don’t like wearing that much foundation for an everyday look, dab foundation only where you need it to hide pimples, camouflage redness or even out your T-zone.

WHAT BRUSH SHOULD I BUY IF I WANT ONE? 

FLAT FOUNDATION BRUSH:

Dip your brush into foundation (using the back of your hand as a palette) and paint in downward strokes starting at the center, where you need the most coverage, and working outward. Going for a downward stroke also allows the product to skim over pores and fine lines, giving you more natural-looking coverage.

BUFFING OR KABUKI BRUSH:

With foundation on the back of your hand, dip the tip of the brush into the makeup, and then work it into the skin from the center out in small circular motions.This dense brush is the key to achieve an airbrushed effect.

SPONGE:

For more coverage, use a sponge. Dip the tip of the sponge into foundation and apply to the larger areas of your face, starting from the center and working out in a stippling/patting motion. Once you’ve achieved the coverage you want, flip the sponge on its side and, with a little more makeup, hit the corners of your nose, under your eyes, and other tricky curves and contours.

5.PERFECT YOUR TECHNIQUE

image

The way you apply foundation makes a big difference. The best technique is to blend thin layers into the skin. The problem areas to focus on when applying foundation will obviously be different for each individual, but the majority of women need a little bit of foundation around the centre of the face, so round the nose, mouth areas, the chin and the centre of the forehead. These are all areas where you often have blemishes or uneven skin tone. If you really focus on these areas and blend out, the foundation will become thinner as it goes towards the hairline, which will help achieve a much more natural finish.

6. DO CONCEALER AFTER FOUNDATION 

image

If you apply concealer before foundation, you’ll use more than you need. If you applied foundation first, that layer of foundation will keep concealer crease-free. Look for a lightweight liquid in a color one shade lighter than your skin. Use a small, pointy brush to cover the darkest part of under-eye circles usually right below the inner and outer corners. If other little skin flaws aren’t quite covered by your foundation, dab on a tiny bit of concealer there too.

7. SET YOUR FOUNDATION 

image


A setting powder is basically a loose or compact sheer-to-medium coverage powder that helps to keep your foundation or other base makeup last longer throughout the day. It adheres to any damp and/or sticky part of the foundation and creates somewhat of a seal. It can also help remove excess shine.  You only need the slightest amount use a light hand and just dab it along the areas where you want your makeup to be set or absorb any excess oil.  

• FOR A LIGHT COVERAGE: 

— WEAR A TRANSLUCENT POWDER

Translucent powder matches all skin tones when blended well. It’s great for killing shine and doesn’t add a ton of extra product to your skin as you touch up throughout the day. However, if it isn’t blended properly, you can end up with the dreaded FLASHBACK. 

image


• FOR LIGHT TO MEDIUM COVERAGE: 

— WEAR A LOOSE POWDER

Loose powder comes in a jar and you will be able to find it in your skin tone color. It has smaller particles and therefore a finer consistency and usually give lightweight coverage. They’re also messy and hard to transport, so these guys are meant to stay at home.

image


• FOR MEDIUM TO HIGH COVERAGE: 

— WEAR A COMPACT POWDER

Pressed powder comes in a compact and contains ingredients used to turn the product into a semi-solid. The particles are slightly bigger and contain these stick-together ingredients, applying too much pressed powder can result in a cake-y appearance. Using a little as a touch-up throughout the day, though, is quick and easy.
