Simple Yet Daring by katurahali

To get the best look and flawless approach to a daring look, stay neutral and highlight your best features!

Whether it is your cheek bones or your amazing eyebrow arch or even your voluptuous lips, playing off your best features will have everyone staring! Start with a tinted moisturizer that is the perfect colour match for your skin, then apply a loose powder to set your make up and give you that matte finish.

Next, apply a bronzer to your brow bone, cheek bones, and chin. That will give you a glow in all the right places that the light hits. Make sure you keep in mind that blending is the best thing you can do when it comes to application.

Then focus on your eyes. If you want to make your eyes sultry and the focal point, make them stand out to the point that people won't be able to look away when they see you. Just blend colors together and find a technique that works for you!

Lastly, your blush should give you that fresh glow. You always look fresh with rosy cheeks, so play with color and find out a few shades and experiment!

Keeping your makeup light but daring, will make you look flawless and fabulous! Finding the best products that work for your skin, will help in making you feel best by the end result.

Enjoy my tips to being fabulous and keep following!

Your Eyes Are The Doors To Your Inner Beauty by katurahali featuring evening eye makeup

When it comes to our eyes, they are the first things people look into to learn about who we are. Your eyes tell everything from you being emotional to being happy. I want to inform each and every one of you on how to get fantastic looking eyes from having high curled lashes to that wide eyed open look.

One thing you need to learn is the natural curl of your lashes. By doing this all you need to do is study your eyes and apply the mascara with the arch of your lashes, from root to tip.

If you are going to use an eyelash curler, always curl your lashes before you apply the mascara because you will not damage your lashes. If you were to curl your lashes with mascara on, you run the risk of pulling your lash follicle away from the lid and damaging the area. You will also leave a mess because your mascara will clump together.

One of my favourite tricks to get me the extra curl I need, is to turn the brush while I am applying. But I also curl it backwards with the natural lash and curl I have. Try this trick next time you are applying your mascara!

When you are looking for that wide eyed, wide awake look, take your mascara wand and go as close to the base of your lashes as possible and as you are going through your lashes, give the brush the back and forth motion. That will help lengthen and also separate and lift those hairs so you can show off those beautiful peepers!

When picking out your mascara it is as tricky as trying on a few hundred pairs of pants. I mean for myself, I am picky! You want to get a great mascara that is going to do everything it is advertised to do so you need to have one that is going to do it all. You never want to layer mascara because for one thing the different formulations will not work together and you are left with spider like and clumpy eyelashes. Also you are contaminating two mascaras either way which In the end you are spending more money because you need to replace two mascaras instead of one.

So next time you are looking for a great mascara, get a disposable wand from the company you want to try and try one formulation on one eye and then another formulation on the other. Compare the pros and cons for each and from different angles so you can see which one is better.

Happy reading fellow followers!
