Concealers!

Hello, my beautiful, concealed fans! Today I want to talk under eye CONCEALER! There are so many different concealers on the market and I have invested in a lot of them, but today I am going to talk about a few of the ones I like and maybe one or two I hate. The one I probably use the most is Yves Saint Laurent touché éclat concealer. In the states it is $48, but in Europe, where I currently reside, it is much less expensive (half the price) so I have stocked up here. It comes in a gold dispenser. You click the top and it comes out on the small brush. I applies easily and then I use a blending brush to blend it in. This is why I like this product so much because it blends so easily into your skin, covers your bags, and gives your under eye a glow without glitter (glitter in concealer should be outlawed.)

Another concealer I like is Mac Studio Sculpt concealer. It is very pigmented and stays really well. My only complaint is that it starts out harder than most concealers, so you have to really warm it up on your skin or blend it a lot, but once it is on, it's staying there, especially if you apply powder over it, etc. The Mac Studio Fix concealer is very similar, but applies more like a regular concealer, and is probably a superior product for everyday, I just like the coverage of the Studio Sculpt. Another concealer I like is Benefit Erase Paste. To be honest, this concealer doesn't stay as well as the other two I've mentioned, but with primer and powder, it will stay and it is very pigmented and literally erases flaws. I really liked the Bobbi Brown concealer when I used it a few years back, I just didn't love it enough to spend $32 on it again. Are there any concealers that you guys SWEAR by? Let me know!

Kim Kardashian Concealer trick!


Hello, my gorgeous fans! Today I was casually browsing online news, and came across an always relevant article, with pictures, on celebrities without makeup. The one who always catches my eye is Kim Kardashian. Despite her obvious lack of any real talent, besides being gorgeous and a genius for creating her empire (with mother Kris of course), I absolutely love Kim. I love her for her stupid, whiny voice, I love her for her eyelash extensions, I love her for her drag queen makeup, I love her for her terrible decision making, and I think most of all, I love her for wearing $75,000 earrings on her island vacation, losing them in the water (after being thrown by her neanderthal fiancee) and then running to her mother to cry about it.


I also love her because she figured out that she could change her look from gorgeous, exotic looking girl, to OVER THE TOP, GLAMOUROUS beauty who everyone wants to look like. Many people think that Kim has gotten drastic plastic surgery, I just think that isn't so (and trust me, I know plastic surgery when I see it). I think she definitely gets botox, and has admitted to that many times, but I honestly believe that the rest is done with amazing makeup. Bellow, you'll see a great video of Kim getting her makeup done by Mario Dedivanovic, her makeup artist of choice. The thing he is really the master of is concealer. He literally does drag queen concealer and sets it with tons of powder on Kim, and that's how she gets her amazing, alien-like look. I've also attached a great tutorial on how to get that look for yourself.
