V.S model Makeup Trick

Everyone wants to know what is the Secret behind Victoria's Secret Makeup!

There are at least 2 thousand Youtube tutorials trying to imitate the look, but they just never quite get it right. Well ladies I'm here to give you the one ingredient, that will blow your mind.

It's the simplest thing, yet no body has ever thought about it.












Victoria's Secret makeup artist base the gorgeous girls look on ; *Drum Roll* THE MODELS

Yes It's just that simple.
They don't have a set look, they simply have a style such as Natural with lots of contour/highlights.



 

Look at each of the models, they all have different makeup. The middle model has pinker eye shadow, while the one on the right has brown eye shadow.

It's all about individual beauty, its about making the girls look 100x better version of themselves.
The makeup artist work a more natural but with a glamor touch, they add sexy individual lashes, some black mascara and lots of highlight to give them the angelic glow.

 Here are some of my tips:

• Highlight is EVERYTHING to the angels, because you can't be an angel without a heavenly glow.Use a highlighter that works for your undertone.. Warm go for Gold / Cool go for Pink
• Lips are never overpowering and dark...Always go for a color close to your natural lip color, just slightly pinker..dab a little pink/clear gloss or balm over it. 
• Lashes are EVERYTHING..but go for individual, they look more natural, and you can wear TONS without looking like a porcupine

• BRONZER...An angel wouldn't be caught dead without a sun kissed tan or a gorgeous glow. Even if you're on the darker side, you have to use a nice tan, it will bring that glow to you.
• Fill in your brows, but be subtle..no one goes for Oscar the Grouch look in the show.
• Go easy on the Foundation, go for a Sheer-medium coverage one like Nars Sheer Glow or Maybelline Fit me
• Make use of a concealer, as that will help you use less foundation and cover your imperfections.
  
  
  
  
  
• Perfect your liner, you want to make sure you're not winging it too much if your eyes are not suitable for it. My eyes are HORRIBLE with winged liner, so I stop right at the end.
• Pick a shade of eye shadow that is neutral and complimenting your eye color and skin. 

Here are some of the models, rocking out their own individual makeup looks;

Brazillian Wax and You *Everything you need to know*

Before getting my first brazillian wax, I desperately wanted to get it done, but loathed the idea of painful hair pulling. I researched everything, i wanted to know the good, the bad and the hairy. One day, I was sick of shaving my down there regions and decided I wanted to try it. I gave myself  "Half" a brazillian wax, and stopped short, because i was making myself nervous. I noticed the pain was bareble for me, and that I really could go through with it.

I researched salons and areas around me, my friend suggested I check Kijiji as well. So I finally found a lady, she gave me a great price, and she was very much certified. The company she had worked with is familiar to me, as I use to be one of their makeup models. ;)

I went in, removed everything below and was asked to lie down on the table. I let her know I was a brazillian half virgin, and she happily reminded me its a procedure thousands of women go through, and its really not that bad.
 
After years of shaving, i anticipated pain, and let me tell you there was pain. BUT It wasn't really as painful.
 I loved the results in the end soooo much, I'm hooked. I don't mind the pain. It goes within 30 seconds of the initial pull.

What to know?


Designs: you can ask for a specific look. Brazillians are usually ALL off
Prices - The cost can vary, some independent waxers  will charge much less

Double Dip- This area is really different from legs, arms and face. Avoid places that Double Dip (dip the same spatula they applied with in the wax container)
Take a Pain Killer- I didn't take one but it does help
Exfoliate- No matter WHAT part of your body you wax, you must ALWAYS exfoliate a day before. Make sure to do this Before and 2 days after waxing to prevent ingrowns.
Moisturize-  I know seems really weird, but moisturize your down there with coconut or olive oil, as it is all natural and contains no chemicals or scents. Do this before and After
Wash- before you go in for a wax, ALWAYS shower and rigorously clean the area, it makes it easier for you and them.
No Perfume: Do NOT ever spray your private bits!


Chlorine and Tanning: AVOID for atleast 48 Hours.
Clothes: go ahead and rock those baggy pants, wear breathable fabrics that arent snug, you wanna avoid friction as much as you can. 
Periods: Don't get waxed 2-3 days before your period and 2-3 days after your period. Your pain tolerance will be high. And obvious reasons don't get it done while youre on your period .
Wine: Ask for a glass of wine at a high end place, its going to calm your nerves
Time: give yourself 2-3 weeks to regrow (longer depending on your hair cycle. 
Maintenance: you can even maintain your brazillian yourself..simply by using stripless wax, you can remove regrowth every week. Be skilled though

10 Min to Glowing Skin

 Disclaimer:
These steps work really well for me, So I'm sharing MY EXPERIENCE
Try these steps at your own risk/Discreation
I only do this Once a month, maybe twice if my skins not feeling great.
Research EVERYTHING before you try
Know your skin; Allergies, sensitivity, reaction anything.
Jolen works great by it self, but others have had a reaction, so BE CAREFUL! AVOID EYES, FOLLOW DIRECTIONS. 

My steps work well for me, because I exfoliate my skin and Apply the enzyme mask and finish with a natural oil to moisturize. I do this all at night, so my skin can rest up throughout the night and wakeup looking fresh..

 


So a few months ago, I've been looking for a way to brighten up my complexion and get rid of the peach fuzz on my face, I decided to try Bleaching. After careful and long research, I read many women use this to lighten facial hair and skin.

I picked up Jolen Creame Bleach from my local walmart. ..Come night time I looked at the box and decided to try it out right then and there, I Followed every single step to the core, and applied it to my face. I have pretty good strong skin, thank you god and parents!








It tingled a bit and after 10 minute, i used a wash cloth to wipe my face clean. I washed my face with water (luke warm) , then used Freeman Kiwi and Yogurt Face Wash , to ensure the bleach has been completely removed. I washed the face wash off with hot water then splashed cold water.  I used my Olay exfoliating system for the face wash.

----------------
Add 10 Minutes more to Sparkle
----------------

Because I have pretty good strong skin, i decided to use Freeman enzyme mask, to provide my skin with nutrients. Kind of like getting a lollipop after an injection.

Wash the mask off with some lukewarm water and finish by splashing cold water after 10 minutes (I keep it for as long as I can).
----------------
Finishing touches
----------------
Moisturize with your favorite moisturizer, I prefer to use almond oil as my skin is pretty dry and because its pure, your skin doesnt have to deal with more chemicals..


If your skin isn't looking as glowey, just wait till tomorrow morning. Let your skin rest and watch it glow tomorrow ;)

Healthy Lashes

Get your Healthiest Lashes

Rule of Thumb: ALWAYS REMOVE MAKEUP

Natural Lash Treatments

 

1. Apply Vaseline moisturize dry and brittle lashes
2. Honey is a great clear mascara, you can always mix it with some black loose eye shadow
3. Use Surma (Google Surma to learn what it is..I own one and It really does help with lash growth)
4. Use Olive Oil or Castor Oil every night before bed to strip the lashes of chemicals and impurities. Mix it with lemon peel for some extra boost to your daily oil mixture!
5. Trim your lashes! I know crazy right, but it does help!  BUT only consider trimming the very tips of the eyelashes. By trimming the lashes, their follicles will be stimulated to grow the lashes back
6. Massage your eye area gently with a warm wash cloth to open pores and stimulate blood flow

Mascara
Have a Mascara Free day - this helps give your lashes a much needed break from chemicals
Wear Mascara only on 1/2 of your lashes, skip the root and use your favorite blackest black pencil liner on the upper waterline to fill in the spaces between your lashes and make them look fuller. Use a card to ensure you only get half.
Always wear Mascara with a LASH Primer (good quality)

Get a good quality Mascara or try the Physicians Formula Organic Wear.
DIY MASCARA: take a few drops of honey, and mix some loose black eye shadow and use a mascara wand and apply to your eyes. *you can also use JUST honey for everyday and wash it off with warm water*

Master false lashes, you will never have to rely on mascara.
Be careful with the glue, cause it can get stuck on your lashes, and it becomes such a hassle to remove.
Consider Lash Extensions, but only trust a reputable company and always go in for a consultation, and ask what products they use. *it has been reported lash extensions do hurt when they fall out*
