5 Makeup Tricks to Steal

The more you know how to utilize your beauty tools, the more fun you can have (not to mention, the more money you’ll save). 
Here are some of my favorites simple tips n tricks that anyone can do, that’ll make you feel—and look—like a pro. 

1. The Matte Factor: You can turn any lipstick matte by adding a small amount of powder blush on top. Apply lipstick, blot with a tissue, and pat blush on top with your finger until it's fully matte. This is a perfect way to test matte texture to see if you like it while utilizing products you already have. 

2. Ms. Mix-A-Lot: You can easily make an at home tinted moisturizer by mixing your foundation with your daily moisturizing cream. This will thin out the texture of your makeup when you want sheer coverage, and hydrate your skin at the same time.

3. Double Duty Eyes: Did you know mascara can double as an eyeliner? Smudge some mascara from your wand on your hand, and apply as a liner with a brush to the lash line. Finish with 3 coats of the same mascara on the lashes. This is a great tip for traveling. 

4. Instant Brow Lift: Highlight brows with concealer and blend with a foundation brush. By placing concealer around the brows and blending, you add shape and lift, without an eye-raising bill from the plastic surgeon. 

5. Cheeky Fix: Lipstick can double as a cream blush when you're in a bind. There was this one time and I left my blushes in a different makeup bag that wasn't with me. I used a soft peach lipstick blended on the cheek instead, and voila: instant cream blush!

'SO ECO' MakeUp Brushes Review

"This Face Brush Kit by 'So Eco' contains four different brushes used for the perfect application of instant make-up."

  

I know what you're all thinking, "So Eco, I've never heard of that brand before" well here's why...

The 'So Eco' range of make up brushes and tools is brand new! They're fresh from the factory and until now I have only seen them in Spinneys(Dubai) or at  www.amazon.co.uk at the moment. 

I cannot even begin to tell you how excited I am to be one of the first in Dubai to review and share this brand with you all! 

The biggest selling points of the So Eco brushes will definitely be the fact that they are made from sustainable materials, they're recyclable (literally everything, from the products packaging to the bristles on the brushes). They are cruelty free and the brushes are cut and trimmed by hand to give them that extra special finish. 

I chose the Face Brush Kit to try out, mainly because of the fact that it contained a makeup brush for each area of the Face ;-) but also down to the fact that the set comes in a beautiful natural cotton wrap which is an ideal way to store your brushes! The brushes may be Eco-friendly but they are also practical and usable for every day make-up application.

The brushes themselves have handles made entirely of bamboo, and have super soft, fine bristles which make them really comfortable and easy to use. There are four brushes in the set, which includes an Eyeshading Brush, Foundation Brush, Blush Brush and a Finishing Brush. They are all going to become part of my daily make up routine. 

Overall I think these brushes are good quality, works well with products and super soft, have a nice appearance/packaging, and are very competitively priced with other brush brands. There are a range of other types of brushes which you can check out on the Amazon Website for Online shopping or also check out in Spinneys Dubai!!

 The world is a beautiful place, so let's keep it that way.

Love the Quote written on the 'So Eco' packaging ;-) and found it amazing the way they have explained how everything is so Eco-friendly :)

What do you think of this set? Will you be trying some of the brushes?

Stay Beautiful..
