Hola everyone!

I hope you've had a nice week!

Spring is still trying to find it's way to here in Finland, apparently it got lost  somewhere and all we have now is more snow :/

But enough about the weather, you're not here to read about that, right?

You're here to read about the MAKEUP.

This time it's about lights and shadows.

So we all know that face isn't flat. And if you apply a layer of opaque paint (ie. foundation, powder, what ever) it loses part of it's natural shine, and that makes your skin look flat.

So after we have painted our faces to cover, we need to make them look natural again. (Men, if you are reading this and shaking your head 'cos it makes no sense, stop it. We don't think it makes sense either, but we do it anyway. Just like what you guys do with your cars :3 )

But HOW do we make our skin look natural then?

We need Shading Powder, Highlighter and Blush.

Personally the most important thing in makeup is to take notice on higher and lower points.
darkest color goes to deepest point, lightest to the highest. It works on lids, cheeks, even lips.

But how do I do my contouring?

I do it like this:

And here's pics showing the process.

First here is flat skin with just primer, easystick and minaral foundation:

Then I added shading powder just under the cheekbone. Easiest way is to make a "fishface", so you see where your cheekbone is. I also added shading powder to define my chin line, and a hint to temples:

Then I used the highlighter. Well, actually I sometimes use blush first, but I don't think that matters so much :3
Anyway. What are the highest points of face? Cheekbones, nose, chin, forehead, and (IMO) cupid's bow (also brow bone, but I usually add eyeshadow to highlight it) . So I add highlighter to those points:

Well, the last pic doesn't really show the blush, but there it is, trust me. Easiest way to determine where to put blush is to smile, it should show you the right spot. Then add blush to your cheek.

Finally, if you think the lines are too harsh, you can soften them with kabuki brush.

But that's all this time. Hopefully I'll get to tell you about the MSCHIC's new spring collection next week!

Have a great time!


Love,

Skintastic!

Hello again sweeties!

I hope you all have had a wonderful week!

Today I'm not gonna post a full look for you, but I'm gonna tell you something about my absolutely favourite MSCHIC products. 

I've always been an eye makeup fan. I love especially eyeshadows, I always use eyeliner, glitters are fun, mascara is very important etc. You get the point.

Before I wasn't interested in skin makeup at all. I somehow thought that if the eyes are done, anything else doesn't matter. First I used only powder, then a combination of liquid foundation and powder. No primer, no shader, no highlighter, no blush, no nothing.

How wrong was I.

Then at some point I fell in love with skin products. Now that I've tried certain MSCHIC products, I'll never want to use anything else.

Here are my favourites, I won't do a look without these babies:

Baked Mineral Foundation, Face Canvas primer, Easy Stick, Shading Powder and Hilighter Powder. 

So why are they so good? 

Because they do miracles to my skin. 

And because a picture will tell you more than a thousand words, I'll show you some before-and-after images.

How do you turn a skin like this:

To a skin like this?

With MSCHIC products.

See how:

First there's my skin with just moisturizer:

  

Believe me, you DON'T want to enlarge the pic. I know I have bad skin.

Then we add MSCHIC's Face Canvas primer:

  

 You can see how it actually makes the skin look smoother and matte.

Then I apply a small amount of MSCHIC Easy Stick:

  

And here's the result with Easy Stick:

Nice, but not enough for me!

 So I take my MSCHIC Baked Mineral Foundation, my kabuki brush, and voilá:

 

I know I still have a dry spot, and that I still have bumps, but hey - nobody's perfect :D

(and yes, I usually darken the "beauty spot", and I don't leave it looking like that, but I thought it shows the coverage of the foundation well.)

So what to do with shader, blush and highlighter then?

Skin isn't flat surface. You need to get DEPTH to it.

You shade the lower points and highlight the higher points. Blush brings more life to your whole look. 

Here's how much shader, blush and highlighter change the look:

Without them skin is just FLAT:

 

But when you add shader to the deepest part, highlighter in the highest part, and blush:

 

So that's it this time, I hope this was useful!

See you again next week!

Love,
