Makeup Tips and Tricks #7

Highlighter is a useful tool for creating illusions. dab a creamy highlighter underneath the arch of the brow to lift the brow and make the eyes look wider. Add a touch above the cupid's bow to make the lips appear fuller. You can also mix a little highlighter with your foundation to give the skin an all-over luminosity.

Makeup Tips and Tricks #6

Well groomed brows frames the face. Keep them neat and tidy and define them with a brow pencil, working from the arcch outwards and on the inner part if needed. Go over the shape with a brow powder, whick will soften the shape and will make it last longer.

Makeup Tips and Tricks #5

If you have thin or spare eyelashes, use an eyeliner to fill in any gaps between the lashes and lightly dust them with powder in between coats of mascara to add volume. If you are prone to smudging mascara on your eyelids, use a drop of foundation on a cotton bud to remove it.

Makeup Tips and Tricks #4

Gently brush your lips with your toothbrush after you brush your teeth to exfoliate them and prepare them for a smooth lipstick application.

Makeup Tips and Tricks #3

Opt for a yellow based concealer, as it will help to camouflage red and purple tones in blemishes, and complement any skin tone.

Makeup Tips and Tricks #2

Use lipliner all over the lips, not just as an utline. This will give a better finish and will hold your lipstick for longer. If lipstick wears off, you will stil have an all-over colour rather than just an outline.

Makeup Tips and Tricks #1

Use a flesh-toned eyeliner on the inner rim of the eyes to make eyes look wider and fresher and to neutralize any redness. Pale eyeliner inside the eye creates a more open effect, while dark eyeliner inside the eye creates a more elongated focus to the width of the eye.

My opinion

This Palette is amazing, with extremely pigmented shadows, and very soft, so it's ver easy to apply.

I would recomment you not to load the brush too much when using this palette because its very pigmented, just do it bit by bit, and just build the colours up to avoid a very dark eye look.

This palette has a selection of colours that will definitely bring out the bad girl in you, from blacks to silvers, khakys, blues, purples, this palette has what it takes to achieve endless looks.

Two of the colours are matte, the Noir and Rebel, the other ones are a abit more shimmer and satin.

I definitely recommend this palette, specially now for the festive season that you will need eye popping colours.

I Divine is a highly pigmented, soft touch eye shadow palette that possesses 12 pearlescent or matte shades. The pearlescent shades possess a large amount of mica and reflect the light giving a shimmering effect to the eye. The colour viewed in the palette is the colour that will be applied to the eye, as the payoff is excellent and the formulation is long lasting.
