Triangle of light

This is one of the coolest tricks I've learned in months and I really want to share this, because it makes such a big difference!

What is the "triangle of light"? It is the first thing we see when we look at somebody and it is also the vocal point of our face. This is the place where our eyes are focused at when we are looking or talking to somebody. 

This imaginary triangle goes from tale of you eyebrows down to the cupid's bow (the highest place of your lips). 

Now that we know what part of our face gets most of the attention we have to think about enhancing this parts and making them stand out.

The whole point of this triangle is to explain how important highlighting is. When we highlight our face we make highlighted parts stand out. We all know that white colour makes things brighter, bigger and more noticeable, right? :)

This part of your face should be a little lighter that the rest. This will add light to your face. That way your eyeshadow and lashes will stand out even more.

To do that try using concealer that is 2 or 3 shades lighter than your skin colour or your foundation and apply it under your eyes in triangle shape to hide any dark circles. This part is my favourite and it makes the biggest difference!

Continue with appling concealer on the bridge of your nose, centre of forehead and under brow bone. Finish it with loumanizer, which you should apply on the top of your cheek bone, cupid's bow, on your brow bone and in the corner of your eyes.

I know this sound complicated, so check it out on the picture below. 

 Second most important thing in this imaginary "triangle" are brows, which are framing our entire face. Try finding shape and colour that suits you.

Remember: makeup is illuison and it is about making your face balanced. Brows, lips, eyes, cheeks...everything should be cohesive, so don't make your brows focus point and be sure to match them to your face shape.

My picks for concealers:

• Mac Pro Longwear Concealer 

• Maybelline Instant Age Rewind Concealer (get it here)

• Bourjois Healthy Mix Concealer (this one is the best drugstore concealer I have ever tried! get it here or in every drugstore)

Thank you for reading and let me know about your favourite concealers and highlighters, I am always on a hunt for new ones :)

Matte lips

I get questions about what I am wearing on my lips all the time! And most of the time my answer is the same. So I wanted to share that and at the same time make a quick review about my favourite lip product of all time. 

I am talking about Bourjois Rouge Edition Velvet Lipsticks. I have never find anything that even compares to this.

Left to right: 07 Nude-ist / 05 Ole flamingo / 03 Hot pepper / 08 Grand cru

I only own this colours, but there are a total of 10 colors (not all of them are available in Slovenia, so I suggest ordering them online. Buy them here).

Since this are liquid lipstick they apply like a gloss, but in reality they have consistency of a lipstick. This are matt finish and the only downfall is that they can be drying on your lips. To prevent that use them with lip balm or lip gloss.

I am all about matte finish for fall so this are perfect! 

The best thing about them is that you don't need to keep them in your purse and reapplying them. They last all day and they are perfect for nights out! :)

1. Nude-ist: I am wearing it on picture above and as you can see it is not true nude colour, because it has a little pink tone to it, which I love. This is perfect everyday colour and it suits every shin tone. If you can only chose one, I suggest picking this one. 

2. Ole flamingo: Very vibrant pink color with red undertone. This is the first one I picked up and it is still one of my favourites.

3. Hot pepper: This one is bright red colour with a hint of orange.  It makes my teeth extremely white looking. Pair it with winged eyeliner for night out.

4. Grand cru: Very dark, almost vampy looking red, which is perfect for fall makeup. It looks good with simple or dark smokey eyes.  Pair this one with lip liner in similar colour.

Hope this helps :)
