FOTD: No Fuss Nude Make-Up

Hello Everyone!

The nude look has been in this monsoon with a vengeance. So here's a no-fuss way to recreate this look. This look can be carried at work, a day outing, or even and intimate dinner party.

I have used a B Cream base and only one matte brown shade of eye-shadow. I have avoided the use of mascara to keep the eyes looking close to natural.

Products Used for this Look:

1. ColorBar BB Cream in Honey Glaze 
2. Faces Vanishing Act Concealer in Medium
3. Chambor Compact Powder RR5 Noisette
4. Maybelline New York Blush Studio Cheeky Glow in Creamy Cinnamon
5. Deborah Milano 24 ORE Velvet Long Lasting Eye Shadow
6. Himalaya Kajal
7. Elle 18 Liquid Eyeliner in Blackout
8. Oriflame Lip Crayonin Coral
9. Maybelline New York Lip Polish in Glam 14

Step By Step

1. Prep your skin by applying your favourite moisturiser/sun block.
2. Dot the BB Cream all over your face and blend in with a brush/sponge/just your fingers.
3. Apply the concealer on areas where you may have spots or uneven patches. You may use a brush, I like to pat the product into my skin with my fingers.
4. Set the base by dusting your face lightly with a compact powder. This step I like to do with a powder brush.
5. Apply the blush with a very light hand starting at the apples of your cheeks and take the colour up to your temples. Apply some blush to the bridge of your nose, forehead and tip of the chin. Remember, very light hand..
6. Apply the matte brown shade of the eyeshadow on the entire upper lid and swipe lightly along the lower lash line.
7. Apply Kohl/Kajal along the lower lash waterline.
8. Apply a line of eyeliner very close to the upper lash line.
9. Line your lips with the nude lip liner and fill in your lips with the same lip liner.
10. Apply one or two coats of the lip polish to finish.

Product Review: Maybelline Color Sensational Lip Polish Glam 14

Today I will review a beautiful lip product from the Maybelline stables. It is called Colour Sensational Lip Polish. It is a 3-in-1 product which includes a lip balm, lip gloss and a lipstick rolled into one.
Company claims:

Liquid color balm by Color Sensational A TRIO of CONCENTRATES:

1.Potent Color Extracts: Pure saturated color pigments that provide deep intense color like a lipstick. 2.Concentrated Liquid Balm: Moisturizing Liquid Conditioning Balm gets the lips ready for Intensely Rich color. Gives a soft Cushiony feel & care to the lips.

3.Glossy Shine Serum: Built-in glossy top-coat, that makes lips look fuller & more luscious. Specially designed Leaf-shaped applicator which makes application quick & precise.

It comes in a transparent plastic cuboid container with a silver colour cap. The actual inner tube which contains the product is shaped like a lipstick, which looks very cute. It comes with a leaf shaped applicator.

Price: INR 450/-
Quantity: 5 ml
My Experience with the Product:
I had heard about this product from a friend and thought I would try it out. So I went to the Maybelline counter and asked the sales assistant for the product. The product has 16 shades, names starting with Glam 1 through Glam 16. It ranged from the nude to very high colour saturation with corals, plums, reds, pinks and browns. I picked up two shades Glam 6 and Glam 14. Glam 6 is a deep plum (I will put up pics in a couple of days). Here I will be reviewing Glam 14.
It is a lovely peachy nude with a light hint of pink. The formula is slightly sticky but not irritatingly so. It sits quite lightly on the lips. The sheer colour pay-off is good, but I think it will look different on different people due to the natural lip-colour of different people. The overall effect is beautiful. The colour and shine lasted for about 5 hrs through my evening coffee and dinner. But after 6 hrs first the gloss and then the colour began to fade. However, my lips did not feel dry or chapped. This product needs to be used along with a lip liner or else it may bleed along the tiny folds along the lips.

Pros:

1. Great colour pay-off.
2. Good lip coverage.
3. Good formula, not too sticky or heavy on the lips
4. Long-lasting.
5. Good price

Cons:

1. Compared to L'oreal Shine Caresse Lip Gloss, it has a slightly heavier and stickier formula. But nothing I can't handle.
2. transfers on to cups when drinking.

Product Rating: 4.75/5
Will I buy this product again? Yes! Though in a different shade. Highly recommended for those who like high gloss lip colours!
