Glow like Kareena

Known for her captivating kohl-esquel eyes and a flawless, youthful glow, Kareena is the new queen bee of Bollywood. Be it the effervescently nude makeup in Tashan or the mesmerizing smokey kohled eyes in Kurbaan, the lady never lets us down with her picture perfect makeup.

To achieve the look:
Kareena’s flawless skin and high cheek bones are her best features. Start with a clean and moisturized face, Lancôme Hydra Zen Cream works wonders and adds a subtle sheen to your face.

Work towards creating a smooth airbrushed complexion. Use a concealer under your eyes to cover any dark circles or puffiness and blend a foundation to create an even skin tone. We recommend Dior’s Airflash Spray foundation that’s just the right texture.

The eyes are a focal point of this look. Go heavy on the eyeliner drawing a bold line close to your upper lashes. Apply two coats of mascara and line your lower lash line with a creamy kohl pencil. For the beauty connoisseurs, Guerlain Khol Loose Powder is heaven sent to achieve stunning results.

Highlight your cheek bones with a pale pink blush and keep the lips nude with just a hint of mauve. Let your eyes do the talking.

Garnier BB Cream Review..!

Hey there. Today I am going to write a review on this very popular Garnier BB Cream. Although there are a lot other BB creams available in the market but the consumer rating says that Garnier BB Cream is on top of the list..

So, i have bought this Garnier BB Cream ( Miracle Skin Perfector) in Medium shade…

~INTRODUCTION TO BB CREAM~

BB cream stands for blemish balmblemish basebeauty balm or beblesh balm (apparently because of a trademark in Korea on the word “blemish”), and in Western markets, beauty balm. It is a cosmetic item sold mainly in East and Southeast Asia, although larger beauty brands are increasingly introducing BB creams to Western markets.

BB cream is promoted as an all-in-one facial cosmetic product to replace serum, moisturizer, primer, foundation, and sunblock. It can be worn alone as a tinted moisturizer, over serum and moisturizer as a regular foundation, and under powder, depending on the desired amount of coverage ( Source:Wikipedia)

The Cream is available in 3 shades that are:
Medium, Light and Fair

Here is what the manufacturers say:

THE PROBLEM

Skin concerns, such as discoloration, dullness, blotchiness and dryness can come from a number of different sources. It’s hard to find just one product that adresses all these concerns at once.

Garnier introduces its first BB Cream, Miracle Skin Perfector. Multi-benefit skincare that combines intense hydration with tinted minerals and vitamin C.

HOW IT WORKS

Vitamin C provides antioxidant properties, boosts radiance and luminosity of skin.

Mineral Pigments delicately and immediately beautiful skin. The rich pigments instantly melt and spread flawlessly over skin.

Now, here you can see that the medium shade is quite darker. My skin complexion is fair so i used my mother’s hand which has got tanned due to sun exposure and age as well.
You can also see that her skin skin is kinda dry and without any glow.
So I put a little amount of garnier BB Cream from her wrist to forearm..And gently rubbed it on all over her arm.

And here is what I think:
The result was so amazing that the light weight cream got all absorbed in the skin, giving it a fantastic glow and finish..
The skin felt so smooth and supple that my mother was also shocked to see the change she got.
This is not my first BB Cream but second.Before this I have tried L’Oreal Paris BB Cream & had liked it a lot.But I am loving Garnier even better.

Image

This tube contains 50 ml of product & is available for 7.16 US Dollars which is pretty reasonable.
I Love Garnier BB Cream a lot and really looking forward to use one on my skin too.
Hope the review will help you guys selecting the best BB Cream for your skin.

L’OREAL PARIS MAGIC SKIN BEAUTIFIER BB CREAM REVIEW

Selecting the best makeup for your skin is not an easy job nowadays especially when you’ve got so many products in the market that are highly likely to each other. The only thing that matters is what suits your skin, makes it fresh giving it a natural glow. Cosmetic brands are introducing bb creams – and currently cc creams – for makeup junkies; but it is really hard to find the perfect cream that suits your skin type and is easy to apply everyday.

I took a pick from the drugstore brands and purchased the L’Oreal Paris’ BB Cream and have been using it for couple of months now.

Image

It comes in a tube, perfect size to place in your bag or beauty box. It comes in 4 different shades:
Deep, Medium, Light, and Fair.
I’m using the Fair one; you can buy it according to your skin tone.

Here is what the product does:

A mullti-tasking skin beautifier delivering 4 beautifying actions in 1: hydrates, corrects, evens and perfects. Instantly transforms to your perfect shade for a flawless, bare skin finish. Over time, more beautiful skin.

Here’s what I think:

The L’Oreal Paris’ BB Cream is one of the best bb creams. It’s a great moisturizer, makes my skin soft and looks amazingly fresh and completely nude. It goes on so smoothly and evenly, and is very light weight. I don’t have to cover my face with heavy makeup anymore. Just a dab here and there of Loreal Magic Skin Beautifier BB Cream and I’m ready.

Let me show you guys the result of L’Oreal Paris’ BB Cream with pictures.

Image

When it comes out, the cream is white in colour. The amount I’ve taken out is enough for my entire face; and anyway’s less is more! I am applying this from my wrist to my forearm just to show you.

Image

The texture is silky with visible beautifying beads that will get absorb in your skin. It’s as if you have nothing on.

Tadaa! The cream is all absorbed leaving the skin looking flawless and fresh. It’s blemishes and slight marks on my skin.

In the image above you can now see the smoothness and glow on my skin.

It is not like the heavy foundations or concealers that makes skin look extremely artificial; it is very light formula cream that instantly hides your blemishes, marks, dark circles under the eyes or puffiness. It will keep your skin moisturized for 12 hours.

This is how my skin looks after and hour. Fresh as before, glowing and hasn’t faded or darkened.

Image
So, in my opinion, this bb cream is the one you will fall in love with. I recommend it. It works perfect on dry skin, oily skin and combination skin. You won’t be needing any other expensive foundation, primer, perfecter or concealer if you want a natural look. You can buy it from any drugstore near by you for an affordable price of $10.99.

I hope this review helps you guys. Will come again with another review on another product.
Till then, Keep Smiling and Keep Looking Gorgeous 🙂
