THE LIPSTICK FILES A TO Z OF EVERYTHING BEAUTY. Part 1 A - K

Hello peeps.

Here is my LIST of everything beauty that may catch your attention! PART 1 ~ A to K.

A - ALGAE
Used in marine-based beauty products. The benefits of Algae include soothing for dermatitis and good for acne prone skin, to name a few.

B - BOTOX
Arrrrrrgghhhhh I'm petrified of needles,  but here is the buzzword of the decade.  Botox smooths out fine lines and wrinkles and can also benefit those with sweaty underarms or hands. Cosmetic surgery has come a long way, so much so that a fuller lip can be done during your lunch hour.

C - CONCEALER
Comes in two types - Corrective Concealers and basic concealer. Corrective concealers come in shades of green  (to neutralise redness ), orange (to neutralise blue under the eyes eyes), purple (to neutralise pigmentation). Foundation should not be used around the eye area (stick foundation is an exception) rather use a concealer that is lighter than your foundation.  Can be used on the eyelids too - to hide redness.

D - DIET
Nasty word I agree. However, our skin does give us a snippet of the kind of food we eat. Eat well and drink water and your face will glow. Internal factors can influence how the skin appears. Be kind to yourself!

E - EYE CREAM
A must participant in your skincare regime. Pop a little under the eyes to smooth out fine lines and puffiness.

F - FOUNDATION
Foundation is used to even out skin tone and NOT to be plastered onto the face. Less is more!

G - GREEN CONCEALER
Green is opposite red on the Colour Wheel. Use it to camouflage redness which can be caused by rosacea (skin condition), red blemishes, pimples, red spider veins or birthmarks.

H - HAIRSTYLES
Wear it straight, curl it, ponytail it, upstyle it, cut it short into a pixie look or leave it lusciously long with various ombre colours through it. Any which way you choose to wear your hair, make a statement.

I - INGLOT COSMETICS
The eye shadow pigments are amazing in this range. There are so many colours to choose from. Can be found at Parramatta & Bondi Westfields in NSW.

J - JEFFREE STAR COSMETICS
Love a matte lippie that pops? This line of lip coverage is applied like a lipgloss and dries matte. Pout on girls!

K - KERATIN
Keratin is a protein that protects the structure of the cells and can be found in our hair and nails. It provides strength to these appendages. Keratin is an ingredient also used in hair straightening formulas - to calm frizzy hair.

Stay tuned for the next instalment!
