Oops 10 Makeup Mistakes Tag

Monday, August 15, 2011


Hey Glammies!!! I was doing my weekly blog reading and came across Makeup By Ren Ren blog post about   her 10 makeup mistakes. She saw it on youtube and decided to share and I thought this was a great idea since we all start somewhere. After I read Ren Ren's, I started thinking about my learning mistake then I really wanted to share mine.

Here they go.........

1. Apply lashes
I was always scared to try lashes on myself  for some odd reason and then lashes started really coming back into style and I had to learn. Applying lashes on clients is easy for me but sometimes a fight on myself to this day.

2.  Mascara? 
Yes, you read right no mascara. When I was young (late teens-earlier 20's) I just never thought that I needed mascara and walked about looking blah. Once I really got into makeup and applied my first mascara, I never turned back again. Having short thin lashes I look sick without my mascara. *A few I like Maybelline Volum Express Colossal, L'oreal Voluminous Carbon Black, MAC Opulash

3. No Primer?
Yup when I first started I NEVER used primer for face or eyes and then would wonder why my makeup would transfer, crease, or just wear off. Oh and could never wear white. DUH! Now I wouldn't dare to apply anything without primer.*Cover FX, Hourglass, Urban Decay, Lorac

4. What? I have to change my foundation from spring/summer to fall/winter?
I must have never got the memo about changing your foundation from season to season. Enough said.
*Revlon Photo Ready, OCC, Almay Smart Shade

5. What's tight lining?
Since I have baby lashes and again they are thin, I never thought about tightlining. What's tightlining you ask. Well, it when you apply liner on the top inner eyelid to make your eyes look bigger and lashes look thicker. If I don't do this I can see the differences on the look of my lashes. *Stila Kajal Eye Liner, Urban Decay Zero

6. Over concealing that pimple
I've been suffering from adult acne since I was 23 and I thought that adding more concealer and foundation was the best method to hide it.  Now I know that it's the opposite. Less is best! *Lancome Effacernes, Amazing Cosmetics, Eve Pearl

7. Brow fill in
I never saw the reason to fill in my brows until my earlier 20's when I started getting my brows done. I got curious one day and fill them in and have always filled in ever since that day. *Anastasia, NYX    

8. Washing 
I'm embarrassed to say that I didn't always wash my face at night and take my face off. Now, I must have facial wipes, Purity cleanser, and my Clarisonic. *ELF, Purity, Clarisonic

9. I'm scared of that eyelash curler
Scared I was but happy I took that leap to curl those baby lashes. Doing this opens up my eyes and adds volume. *Shu Uemura

10. Contouring 
I always would contour my clients and just never myself until over 5 years ago when I started getting a bit older and face got a bit fuller. Now I'm prego and must contour this face since I'm swelling up. *ELF, MUFE,





Review on Shu Uemura Eyelash Curler

24K Gold Eyelash Curler - <span style="color: #cc0000;">Sweet New Price!</span>


I kept hearing the hype for years on this Shu Uemura eye lash curler, but just never really wanted to try it. So the curiosity killed me after so many years and I broke down and purchased the curler (only $19.00 @Nordstrom). Opening the box I noticed it came with an extra silicone pad. I was really excited about that since I don't have to search for another one for some time. The next day while applying my daily makeup, I decided today was the day to try it out. Now, I have my fair share of eyelash curlers ( don't know why I have so many)  and would say I think of myself as an eyelash curler Pro. lol

I tried it before my mascara and WOW! Now I know what all the talk was about. It's perfect for all eye shapes and doesn't pinch. It curled my lashes perfectly and I even curled after I applied my mascara and perfect again (I don't recommend curling after mascara to everyone, since it can break your lashes). Shu Uemura also carries a smaller one that can be used for baby lashes and the corner of the eyes (Haven't tried that one yet). They also have a limited edition 24 karat curler ( pictured above and on sale @ sephora.com).

After years of not wanting to try it and fighting for no reason, I have tried it and kicking myself in the butt for not trying it sooner. But now that I have, I have fallen in love with it like everyone else. I highly recommend this eyelash curler for everyone to try and I'm sure you'll love it too.
