Review : Collection Fast Stroke Eyeliner.

Having got lots of appreciation from Instagram and blog, I’ve decided myself to do a complete review about this product. To be honest, this is not the first time I’m using Collection Cosmetics and even before, I’ve experienced the mighty galore of Collection Lasting Perfection Concealer which is one of the best among its rival peers. So, are you a makeup lover? If you are just like me and particularly love to do dramatic eye makeup look, then this is an absolute must-have. Also, we all know that you can’t skip a good quality eyeliner if you are seriously looking for some eye drooling moments and that’s why, this time, I’ve opted for  Collection Fast Stroke Eyeliner which has directly entered as my holy grail product instantly. Now, I’m 100% sure that there won’t be any other liquid eyeliner that could able to replace this iconic staple in the near future.

If you are looking for feline flick or winged cat eye, then you need this product in your life. Besides, this product weighs 3.8g which is quintessential to give a long mileage and the soft nib applicator is ideal to give precise defined lines. Well, moving along to its formula, it gives you a pitch black pigmentation and the smudge proof consistency of the formula is perfect to define preferred lines. All-in-all, this long lasting eyeliner is one of the best kept gem among the drugstore finds.

When talking about its packaging, it is quite simple and the black hued container contains the soft nib applicator wand to the top and the actual content to the bottom. The best highlight that I want to specify here is that the long necked applicator wand where it provides a quintessential grip to hold while drawing streaks of lines flawlessly. Lastly, the airtight closure ensues you for a complete leak free protection.

1. Start the procedure by sketching the defined line from inner corner of the eye towards the middle in just one single stroke.
2. Extend the line towards outer corner of the eye.
3. Make a precise feline flick by curving the line slightly upwards.
4. Now, your dramatic eyeliner look is ready to show off.

Check here for the completed Summer day eye makeup look using this eyeliner.

Besides, there are some serious debates when it comes to using liquid eyeliners as like how to use it and, one needs to be more skilled to use it. But, this product has broken all the ice and brings in the real confidence of how to use liquid eyeliner with simplicity.

• Eye shadow brush
• Blending brush
• Small brush
• Eyelash curler

1. Create a base: Since there is no visibility of eye shadow primer here, I’m just sticking on to the lighter shade of grey as an eye shadow base because it will give some depth to the whole makeup look. And, using my finger, I’ve applied the light grey shade (top middle of the palette) onto the eyelids and crease area.
2. Crease area: Using the blending brush, I’ve applied the dark grey shade (bottom middle of the palette) along the crease area and I did blend and buff movement to create a perfect blend to the crease area.
3. Depth to lower crease area: Using the blending brush, I’ve applied the shimmery dark blue (top right of the palette) onto the lower crease area to give some intense depth and shimmer and yet again, I did the same blend and buff movement to make the shade to cover up evenly.
4. Eyelids: Using  the eye shadow brush, I’ve dabbed the shimmery grey shade (bottom left of the palette) all along the eyelids.
5. Outer corner of the eye: Using the blending brush, I’ve applied a dab of black shade (bottom right of the palette) onto the outer corner of the eye and I’ve blended it so well to give a defined sharp look.
6. Inner corner of the eye: Using a small brush, I’ve applied a bit of sparkly silver shade (top left of the palette) onto the inner corner of the eye.
7. Lower lash line: Using a small brush, I’ve applied a hint of grey shade below the lower lash line area.
8. Eyeliner: I’ve applied a quintessential winged eyeliner using the above eyeliner selection.
9. Mascara: First of all, using eye lash curler, I’ve curled my lashes really well before heading onto the next step. Using the above mascara, I’ve applied plenty of coats of mascara onto the upper and lower lashes vigourously.
10. Final touch: Using a cotton bud, I’ve tidied up all the bits and bobs in and around the eye. Now, the completed smokey eye makeup look is ready to show off.

Tutorial: How To Get An Instant BB Cream?

This is the time of the year where BB cream comes as a life saviour as it is quintessential to use as a light foundation base without sacrificing the heaviness from the foundation. Besides, as we are moving forward towards warmer, sunny days, I think it is an absolute must have beauty essential for this Spring/Summer. I hope you do agree with me as I do. Moreover, with so many BB creams are available in the market, there occurs a great opportunity to tune ourselves to bring in the inner beauty goddess out as it is so simple to make our own BB cream. Doesn’t it sound amazing? And so, come along with me to see how to get an instant BB cream.

First of all, you will be surprised to see that it only takes just two items to bring in the new formula of BB cream, how genius is that? So, let’s see the actual products now:

• Regular Day Cream with SPF factor
• Normal Concealer

Yes, that’s it and right here, I will be using Nivea sensitive day cream and Collection lasting perfection concealer as my product choices.

There are so many advantages in using BB cream during warmer months and herewith, I will be highlighting some of the key aspects of using BB cream.

• Formula is lighter than the heavier foundation
• Perfect evened out base and covers blemishes, dark spots and eye bags
• Ideal to wear for day outs and beach
• Your skin looks flawless just as a second skin
• Brightens your skin exemplarily well
• Smoothes and tones your skin as well
• Brings out dewy finish on your skin
• It is very easy to blend
• Great for versatile application such as with a sponge or makeup brush or fingers
• It comes along with moisturising feature
• It has SPF factor which helps to aid your skin against harmful UV rays
• SPF factor also helps to fight against your skin from environmental affecting factors
• It hydrates your skin concerned areas of dry skin

Firstly, take a tiny blob of your regular day cream and mix it along with your everyday concealer to get a new BB cream formula. In further, to bring in the right consistency, you could always add more or less of the concealer as per required.

1. Start the procedure with a well cleaned, washed and towel dried face.
2. Then, use your daily moisturiser to keep your skin as fresh as a daisy.
3. Now, take the above BB cream and using beauty blender, apply it onto your face evenly.
4. Set the evened out base with loose setting powder.
5. Now, your face is ready to add on more products like eyeshadow, eyeliner, mascara, blush, bronzer, highlighter and lipstick.
6. Finally, your face is ready to show off.

Have you ever tried this technique before? And, if so, you could share your experiences along with me and as always, I would love to read them. Or else, let me know your tips and tricks that you use in your everyday makeup looks.
