10 BEST Makeup Removing Tips

Removing makeup is the most important part of your night time routine, i mean leaving makeup on can make your skin dry, dull, irritated and most of all it causes Acne and other problems like unevenness..

I've decided to create my top 10 tips at removing makeup...follow these and your skin will thank you!

1. Vaseline:
   You may think that I'll be recommending Vaseline, but from personal experience and research I will tell you that Vaseline is one of the worst things you can do for your skin. Vaseline clogs pores, causes styes and trap Bacteria..so keep Vaseline for Lips only!
   
   
   
    
2. Olive/Coconut/Almond/jojoba Oil:
   This is the best and cheapest way to remove makeup..All you have to do is slather on oil on your face and leave it on for a 30-seconds to a few minutes while you rub your face in circular motion (gently)..Think about it..The problem Oily people have is that their skins oil breaks down the makeup, so youre doing exactly that. Wash it off with a cleanser! (oily skin is okay to use this too)
   
   
3. Makeup/baby Wipes:
   I don't trust makeup/baby wipes alone to remove all my makeup, I feel like I don't have the peace of mind, but combined with my oil, I know my skin is good.
   
   
   
4. BlowDry:
   I know it sounds absolutely insane..but blowdrying your face after oiling (don't burn yourself) helps oil seep into your skin, and break down all the makeup and speeds up the process as well. Yup Blowdry is the BEST invention for me EVER! (Look out for a post on How I Use blowdryer for various things)
   
    
   
5. Cold Creams
   Cold Creams work like Oil does, but it takes a lot of cream to slather and remove the makeup..I think its an okay thing, but I wouldn't be comfortable with adding too many chemicals or buying tons of cream when i have oil.
   
   
   
   
6. Avoid store bought removers:
   this stuff is so irritating on my skin, and my skin is extremely strong (knock on wood)...i mean it just doesn't work for me. Besides they don't even work as well, so instead of adding extra chemicals save that money.
   
   
7. cleanser is not enough:
   if you think youre face is getting a thorough clean with just cleanser, think again..So please add a cold cream, oil or cleansing gel.
   
   
    
   
8. Detoxifying/Pore Cleansing Mask:
   I cannot tell you how much doing this once a week on a cleansed face helps my skin, it literally cleans out my pores. Just doing it once a week helps my skin clean out and look its best.
   
   
   
   
9. Witch Hazel and Retinol
   Use Witch Hazel once every few days on a cleansed face...I feel like using watch hazel has helped my skin since It started going downhill once i started wearing my MAC studio Sculpt everyday (Long shifts at work) So try to use it instead of your toner..(I use it every few days). I also use a non-prescription retinol cream to help my skin, I only use it at night (DO NOT WEAR IT DURING THE DAY WITHOUT SUNSCREEN)..
   
   
   
10. Wear less makeup:
    nothings unsexier than a Cake Face..so avoid all that and go for a tinted moisturizer and use a concealer for trouble spots. If you HAVE to wear a foundation with more coverage, try Maybelline Fit me or Nars Sheer glow, these foundations give you that polished look without the heaviness.

V.S model Makeup Trick

Everyone wants to know what is the Secret behind Victoria's Secret Makeup!

There are at least 2 thousand Youtube tutorials trying to imitate the look, but they just never quite get it right. Well ladies I'm here to give you the one ingredient, that will blow your mind.

It's the simplest thing, yet no body has ever thought about it.












Victoria's Secret makeup artist base the gorgeous girls look on ; *Drum Roll* THE MODELS

Yes It's just that simple.
They don't have a set look, they simply have a style such as Natural with lots of contour/highlights.



 

Look at each of the models, they all have different makeup. The middle model has pinker eye shadow, while the one on the right has brown eye shadow.

It's all about individual beauty, its about making the girls look 100x better version of themselves.
The makeup artist work a more natural but with a glamor touch, they add sexy individual lashes, some black mascara and lots of highlight to give them the angelic glow.

 Here are some of my tips:

• Highlight is EVERYTHING to the angels, because you can't be an angel without a heavenly glow.Use a highlighter that works for your undertone.. Warm go for Gold / Cool go for Pink
• Lips are never overpowering and dark...Always go for a color close to your natural lip color, just slightly pinker..dab a little pink/clear gloss or balm over it. 
• Lashes are EVERYTHING..but go for individual, they look more natural, and you can wear TONS without looking like a porcupine

• BRONZER...An angel wouldn't be caught dead without a sun kissed tan or a gorgeous glow. Even if you're on the darker side, you have to use a nice tan, it will bring that glow to you.
• Fill in your brows, but be subtle..no one goes for Oscar the Grouch look in the show.
• Go easy on the Foundation, go for a Sheer-medium coverage one like Nars Sheer Glow or Maybelline Fit me
• Make use of a concealer, as that will help you use less foundation and cover your imperfections.
  
  
  
  
  
• Perfect your liner, you want to make sure you're not winging it too much if your eyes are not suitable for it. My eyes are HORRIBLE with winged liner, so I stop right at the end.
• Pick a shade of eye shadow that is neutral and complimenting your eye color and skin. 

Here are some of the models, rocking out their own individual makeup looks;

Shanina Shaik - The next V.S Angel

A lot has happened in 2013, the fall of Angel Miranda Kerr to fat shaming of Adriana Lima and Barbara Palvin.


A new angel has emerged from the shadows; Karlie Kloss, whom many believe is NOT V.S material.

In a heaven full of Brazilian Bombshells like Adriana Lima, Alessandra Ambrosio and more, I think it's safe to say that V.S should replace Miranda Kerr with another fellow Aussie Princess.

Shanina Shaik!

She's been a part of the V.S fashion shows for the past 2 years. She was a stand out in the 2012 fashion show, with her irresistible personality and alluring runway skills Shanina seems like the Natural choice.


Victoria's Secret is crowded with bevy of European beauties and Blonde Bombshells, I think the sexy mix of Shanina is definitely to set her apart from the rest of the hotties. Pakistani/Saudi Arabian/Lithuanian, so different and so sexy!

EVEN RIHANNA COULDN'T KEEP HER EYES OFF HER!

Shanina Shaik needs to be the NEXT Angel, what are they looking for? Her stunning peepers and rock hard bod is not the only step up she has on the other ladies. Have you SEEN her stage presence, it definitely kept me hypnotized

Checkout some more pictures of Shanina Shaik and tell me what You guys think!
