The Actual Lip Liner Kylie Jenner Uses


Kylie has stolen the beauty craze with all the trends she's setting. From what lip liner she's using to what bronzer she contours in. She is the largest makeup trend setter this year! 
I love her style of makeup it's definition on your faces focal points: lips, eyes, and cheekbones. So I've been searching for months for the perfect shade to match her "popular" lip liner look and I believe I have found THE ONE! 
I researched more on what it's the exact liner she uses, and Kim Kardashian has spoken out and has said she's seen Kylie go between MAC Soar and MAC Spice. She lines and fills in her lips and leaves it at that. 
I didn't think soar was the color because it seemed so pink but then I tried it out and boy! Did it look like her lips were on my face! Lol it's literally the exact shade!!! I'm soooo happy now 😃😃
Here are a few swatches

My Top 5 Makeup Brushes

                               
Hello Beauties,
If you're like me I loveeeee makeup brushes, if I had all the money in the world boy would I splurge on some nice brushes. But I'm a student on a budget so I get what I can. For makeup brushes you need to have the mindset that they are an investment into your beauty regime. You want quality, results and ease therefore, it means taking some time to properly research and save up for the right tool. My motto for any purchase is Quality over Quantity and that goes for many things, but when it comes to beauty tools it should be well thought out. 
In the beginning of getting into makeup in my mind I was like, " Why the hell would I spend 40-50$ on a single brush when I can buy a purse with that". But you got to think of it as an investment into your look, you want flawless results you need to invest in quality tools; plus they last forever with the proper care.

So here are my top 5 brushes:

1. Sephora Pro Flawless Airbrush 56- 40$
                            

Buffs your foundation beautifully and doesn't leave any lines- I love this brush

2. Sephora Pro Flawless Concealer 57-30$
                              

Amazing at blending in concealer under the eye- can't live without this brush

3.Sigma Large Angles Contour F40- 22$
                          

I think this is my favourite brush of them all, its the best at applying blush/bronzer so effortlessly 

4.MAC Flat Shader 239- 25$
                             

Great to apply an even amount of colour all over the lid

5. MAC Blending Brush 217- 24$
                       

Best blending brush I have ever tried, so easy and perfect size for any eye.

Most Used Beauty Products of Summer 2014





Summer is nearly over and its so sad because Canadian summers are seriously so short:( My summer this year was spent with friends and family and lots and lots of shisha ;) I'm lebanese I can't help it LOL. As for my makeup this summer, it was kept neutral surprisingly, I'm usually on the bright track when the sun is out. So my most used beauty products this summer were...

MAC Malt
Its a neutral mauve-y eyeshadow and I would just dust it all over my lid using a MAC 217 brush

L'oreal Liquid Liner
Its the original liner, its a brush tip lasts long and doesn't smudge out as much as the newer versions.

Benefit Dallas Blush
Obsessed over this blush, I use it more of a bronzer and lightly contour. But I hit pan on it so quick, literally...i can't even... #whitegirltalk



L'Oreal Butterfly Effect Mascara
This is a new product of L'Oreal and I liked it, it does give the "butterfly" effect but you have to focus on the application of it and apply it properly or else you won't get that well of a butterfly effect. Overall, satisfied with the product.

These were my most used beauty products this summer, what were yours?

Hello Fall

                             
Hello September,
I actually consider this month more of a new year because it is a new school year, its a fresh start to readjust your habits and goals. I have been MIA from blogging because I was not focused on what I want and what I want to accomplish. I had no clear idea of what I want to achieve with this blog. So I spent the summer trying to figure myself out and what I love to do and honestly I miss this, I love writing about beauty topics - its my obsession. So I'm back with a plan and brand new outlook on how I want to carry my blogging experience and without further adieu I think for my first post back I will talk about the famous Kylie Jenner lips.

Kylie has grown so much over the years and if you're not a Kardashian indulger like myself then you probably don't care for this post. But the Kardashians are my guilty pleasure, I love watching their show because of the fashion, makeup and hair. The Jenners and Kardashians are walking trend setters especially miss Kylie Jenner. She is most famous for her transformation from she got no mouth to did she get a lip job? People really don't understand how makeup can change everything if applied properly. 

To achieve fuller lips its all about the liner, and Kylie over draws her lips to create the illusion of fuller lips; as if she got a lip injection. Her makeup artist Joyce has spoken out about the products Kylie uses to get the famous mauve/nude lips and they are, MAC Whirl Lipliner and MAC Velvet Teddy Lipstick.
                 

You line your whole lip with Whirl if you have thin lips like Kylie just over draw your lips by going slightly on top of your lip. What I like to do for my lip is going a little bit over my cubic bone, just to make them look a little more pouted, and what I like doing is making the corners darker. After you finished lining your lips, apply Velvet Teddy just in the centre of your lips and mix it just in the middle and now you created this ombre/ illusion of fuller lips. This is the famous Kylie lips that she rocks everyday and whats even crazier is that every MAC has been sold out of Whirl for weeks all thanks to miss Kylie LOL :) 
                                                    

Hope you guys enjoyed this post,
Yara

Easy Subtle Smokey Eye


Hey Guys,

Today's look i tried out a very subtle smokey eye look thats super easy and wearable during the day and can be transformable to a night time look! I'm going to be focusing on the day time look for this post"

1. Apply an all over wash of the desired colour you want, i did a simple light shimmery colour from MAC called Naked Lunch

2. Defined my crease lightly with a soft brown colour any brown will due

3. Line your upper lash line with a black eyeliner i used Milani Liquid Eye Pencil, its creamy and blend able. Look for a liner like this for this look, something like Urban Decay's 24/7 eyeliner.


4. Using a smudging brush start smudging the liner up, concentrate on the outer corner of the eye. Bring the smudging up and start creating a V shape in the corner of the eye.
                                           


Its a very subtle light smokey eye but makes it look like you worked hard on it, when actually its super easy and fast!








5. Finish it off with mascara and i also connected it with a light liner on the bottom lashes but only in the outer corner.


And done! its super easy and subtle and super wearable during the day time!

Hope you enjoyed it :)

Hearts,
Yara
