How to: Tinted Moisturizer Application/Everyday Makeup

Hey everyone! Here is my How To: Tinted Moisturizer Application slash everyday makeup when I go outside. My face routine is very simple and I don'y layer too much product on. This moisturizer is like my HG because of the good coverage it can give. I'm not really a fan of concealer because it really can't cover the small bumps on my face although I have redness around my cheeks, nose and hyper-pigmentation but I don't mind them at all. My tinted moisturizer is by Myra and I got the shade of Beige but it has other shade which is too light for me and its called ivory. Sometimes I layer this tinted moisturizer with BB Cream but I've noticed that moisturizer is enough to get the coverage I want. 

I always need to set this moisturizer with setting powder and I know that I should use on translucent one but I prefer powder foundation because it can give me extra coverage I need on some area of my face. And yes if you've noticed I only use one brush all throughout the video and it is the ELF stippling brush because this gives you that airbrushed finish.

Here are the products I used:

Myra Tinted Moisturizer-Beige

Revlon PhotoReady in Medium/Deep

ELF Stippling Brush

Nichido Blush-on in Cool Rum

Daiso Saizen Eyebrow Pencil
NYX Felt Tip Eyeliner in Extreme Black

HBC Eyebrow Pencil

NYX BLL in Dusty Rose

IT Naturals Matte Lipstick in Very Rose

BeautyUK Choices

Another brand that I have been eyeing is from BeautyUK Cosmetics. The products from this makeup line are so gorgeous that I just can't resist myself from keep coming back to view their palette. I am not a blush person but if I am going to choose, I'll opt to choose the shade that will stand out on me since I am fair to medium skin tone. I can say that I am an eye shadow person because everytime I browse from online shops in facebook, I always go through the eyeshadows and I will plan that I should have this and that.

TAAZ: Lavender Eyes and Golden Copper Lips

Hello, lovely readers! You know how I really love makeup and because of this I have started to collect few of them for my personal use or for other uses where I can practice my skills in make over. I wanted to do it to myself but I guess my skin especially my face is very sensitive that's why I have to be very careful when it comes to putting makeup on. Lucky for other girls who can apply makeup on without having problem ☺

So, I have created this look for you my readers and see if I can mix and match properly but ofcourse hands-on is really different because when hands on, you can really practice your skills. I created this look using the virtual makeover website called, TAAZ. 

You can see the before and after of the look I have created. Makeup can really change the look of a certain person and transformed into beautiful and gorgeous one.

Here are the items I used:

Neutrogena Healthy Skin Glow Sheers Natural Shade Ivory to Fair 10

Smashbox "Camera Ready" Full Coverage Concealer Color 3.0

LORAC Blush Color Crimson

Physicians Formula Mineral Wear Pressed Powder Color Bronzer
