The Instant Sunkissed Look!

Filed under: Quick Make Up Tips — admin @ 10:54 am

Well it’s nearly February and here at Cosmetics4less we are fed up with the pale and interesting look.

Sunkissed Multi-Toned Glimmer Bronzer Compact.

The easiest way to get an instant suk-kissed glow is to use a powder bronzer.

Just lightly sweep the powder across your cheekbones, nose and forehead using a large powder brush. You can also use it on your shoulders and bust if you like!

A multi-toned bronzer gives a more natural look, no hard block of single colour, and we like a bit of shimmer.

So the Sunkissed Huge, Glimmer, Multi-Tone Bronzing Compact fits the bill perfectly. This is the biggest bronzer compact we have ever seen, a full 4 inches across. Cosmetics4less price is only £2.99

You don’t need to spend a lot of money buying body lotion in your favourite perfume, we will let you into a small trick we all use here at Cosmetics4less.

Kylie Minogue, Pink Sparkle, 15ml Eau de Toilette Spray

Kylie Minogue, Pink Sparkle, 15ml Eau de Toilette Spray

Just buy some inexpensive, unperfumed body lotion, put some in a small jar and mix in a few drops of your perfume.

It will keep well for at least a week  so just make up small batches at a time.

Perfume and Fragrance, leave Your large Bottle at Home.

Filed under: Quick Make Up Tips — Tags: , — admin @ 9:15 am

Fragrance can be very expensive ( but so worth it!) and buying a larger size can save a lot of money in the long run.

But buying  a smaller size as well or investing in a small fragrance bottle and decanting some from your larger bottle is a good idea for carrying around in your handbag or for travelling. Light and heat can make your fragrance deteriorate and lose its fragrance prematurely.

So keep your large bottle of Perfume at home, in its box, in a cool dark place and make sure you really are saving money.

Keep your Foundation Clean!

Lots of foundations come in little glass or plastic pots.

Try not to dip your finger into the pot when you sue it as this will allow bacteria to enter the product. Use a disposable spatula or a clean spoon instead.

Red Complexion Problems.

Filed under: Quick Make Up Tips — Tags: , — admin @ 9:14 am

If you have a too red complexion or small red broken veins, it is tempting to choose a very pale foundation in an attempt to correct this.

But very pale foundation shades often have pinky undertones which will exacerbate the redness.

Instead try a Beige Foundation to give a natural and even skin tone.

Collection 2000 Sheer Moist Foundation, available in five shades,  is on Special Offer at Cosmetics4less at the moment, only £0.99 each, so now is a great time to experiment with some different shades.

A golden eye make up is just right for summer.

So give your eyes a gorgeous sunkissed glow with a dusting of shimmering golden bronzer or loose gold dust over eyelids and cheekbones

 

To add intensity, highlight the corners of your eyes with a darker copper or shimmering brown eyeshadow.

For evening you can add a touch of gold glitter mascara over the top of your usual black  and a golden glitter eyeliner to for a totally over the top golden sparkle.
