Beauty Tips for Dry skin

                                                 www.adornbeautyretreat.com

Dehydrated / Dry skin tends to look worn and lined, whereas skin that is well hydrated looks vibrant and healthy, so investing in the right serums,masks,moisturizers and eye creams is very important.

A light moisturizing liquid foundation will work better for you than cream formula.

oil based products glide on easily, powder products sit in crease drawing attention to fine lines.

cream blush is preferable.

My love for Naked palette 3

I have to confess my beauty love for this gorgeous set of rose, pink shades palette.
I never Wanted to purchase this palette because I have both naked 1& 2 and I don't really use them that much except on my brides. When the 3rd edition came out despite the rave about it, I wasn't convinced to purchase it asides that some uploaded pictures that I had seen didnt do this palette justice, some looked washed off and others reflected different colors so it was not appealing until I walked into sephora store and I saw the display I fell in love with the colors then I made up my mind that I was going to buy it. The colors were different from the previous palettes which were basically gold,brown shimmery shades e.t.c but this naked 3 palette has beautiful rose colors, shades of pinks with gold undertone and some gold colors which makes it a great combination for any soft look, smokey or night time looks
I created the look below using the palette. Let me know what you all think, I hope you all love it.

A traditional and white wedding for a beautiful bride


My beautiful bride/client, it was a great pleasure working with her. Ms Jibiks as fondly called by her friends was calm and had confident in me from the first day I met her till her wedding day.  She wanted a simple yet beautiful makeup in the morning of her white wedding which was achieved using Airbrush makeup and she was satisfied with the overall result. 
During the evening of her wedding and I  had to touch up her eyes and lipcolor with different colors because she changed into a different attire for her evening party.
Her wedding / reception venue was a beautiful grand banquet hall in Richmond Texas ( Cindy's palace banquet hall).

It was a great wedding, wishing the bride and the groom blessed marriage.

Sephora anti shine primer

Sometimes last 2month I went to sephora just to look around for any new product and I stumbled on this aisle that they had some of their products on sale and there I saw the Anti shine primer and I thought the price was a giveaway and there was no harm trying it ($5) . Believe me when I say I do not regret buying it, it is so good and gives my foundation and powder a matte finish.
I have a very oily facial skin and I have tried so many products even some matte powder and they just don't work for me until I found sephora anti shine although Its written on the pack that it last up to 8hrs but after 8 hrs it's still good on me.
I give this product a 5 star ***** and I recommend to anyone with oily skin as a foundation primer
I also applied it on my lid before my eyeshadow base once ( because i have oily eyelid, I was so careful about it because I didn't want it to get it into my eyes) and it really worked and my eyeshadow didn't crease. I will start using it for that purpose too.
If you have been contemplating buying the sephora anti shine you can go ahead and purchase it. It's worth the price

Coastal Scents 42 Color Double Stack Shadow and Blush, Matte

I love bold colors!! i love Coastal scents 42 double stack eyeshadow pallete, this is my first pallete from coastal scents,gorgeous eyeshadow colors, it also came with a set of 10 blushes. I have watched so many videos, heard so much about their palettes but never bought or thought of buying one, I was searching a website for a bold, beautiful pallete that was not to expensive when i came across coastal scents and purchased it online. when my pallete arrived i fell in love with coastal scents and purchased 4 more palettes from them including the "42 double stack eyeshadow and blush,shimmer". This is a set of bold, beautiful colors in matte, highly pigmented and very good quality for the price, i could not believe it when i started trying different looks with these pallete. I love their color payoff and the fact that their products are so affordable that you don't have to break the bank, although there are some colors in this pallete that are chalky but not so bad, you will need to either apply a concealer on your eyelid or a very good primer like urban decay primer portion or other quality primer to provide a good lasting look. If you are just starting off as a makeup artist or you are a lover of makeups, I recommend this, if you are a pro makeup artist i also recommend this.

What is Facial Masking?

This is a condition that can affect bronze/ ebony skin tones. This means the skin may be darker in the outer edges of the face and lighter in the interior of the face.
To correct this it will take two shades of foundation.

First step: you will have to do a stripe test to find out the two shades of foundation that when applied to your face it will provide a more even skin tone.
To conduct a stripe test,it must be in a natural light test from your jaw down onto your neck because you want to match your neck. The shade that matches your neck is the right shade for you.

Second step: Apply the lighter shade of foundation to the darker areas on your face.

Third step: Apply the darker shade of foundation to the darker areas on your face.

Fourth step: Apply your correct shade of foundation and it will make your skin look even and flawless.
Thereafter set the foundation with the right shade of powder.
