Make Up Academy Pro-Base Fixing Mist: Fix Your Makeup!

We all love applying our makeup and how fresh and pretty it looks right after we're done, but what if at the end of the day it looks like your whole face moved downwards a few inches! A fixing spray is a great solution to this problem if you have oily skin and your makeup just doesn't stay in place all day, or if you want to refresh your face during  the day without needing to fix or reapply your makeup.

There are great fixing sprays on the market, the most popular one probably being MAC Fix +, but it is a bit pricey and not everyone can afford to spend those amounts of money for a spray. I've tried out a nice alternative for finishing up your make-up: MUA Pro-Base Fixing Mist.

I wouldn't dare to say it makes your makeup last flawless ALL DAY LONG, but for a reasonable amount of time. I can definitely say it keeps your makeup in place from morning to afternoon. It is going to move eventually, but it's 1/3 the price of the MAC Fix +.

If you are on a budget (like me) and you need something to help your makeup stay on your face where you put it, then I would recommend trying the MUA Pro-Base Fixing Mist. If you need something that will make hart even to remove your makeup, then maybe you're better off with a more expensive product.

BH Cosmetics 120 Colour Palette: Review of the 3rd Edition!

BH Cosmetics is a make-up brand famous for their great eyeshadow palettes of many colours. I have finally purchased the 120 colour eyeshadow palette and have chosen the 3rd edition. 

It contains shimmer and matte eyshadows, pastel, bright, neutral and smokey eyeshadows of various shades to create any look you can think of. I found this palette to be limitless so far! 

Of course you cannot put all the different colours in one palette, so it has more shades of some colours than the others, but the 3rd edition is nicely balanced, and other editions have different things to offer! I love the deep reddish shades, they are so pigmented, and it is not easy to find such eyeshadow colours for a reasonable price.

The eyeshadows are very pigmented, both matte and shimmer shades. There's quite a bit of product in each pot, and 120 colours for its price is a bargain! Check out BH Cosmetics website for more information.

There is a little bit of fallout, so I would recommend applying your under-eye concealer after you've finished your eye make-up, but most eyeshadows have some fallout anyway. Overall, I am very happy with the purchase and I'm in love with this palette. The only problem is deciding which colours to use when doing my make-up, so many to choose from! Check out this [VIDEO] by SashaJ for all 120 swatches of this 3rd edition!

It's a lovely affordable eyeshadow palette, recommended to everyone! Especially if you want to expand the range of colours in your eyeshadow collection, definitely check it out!

Real Techniques Make Up Brushes: Review + Photos

 The popular brushes by Real Techniques from Samantha Chapman of the best make-up artist duo of YouTube Pixiwoo has finally reached my doorstep. I have never been so excited as to finally try them out myself. I have purchased The Core Collection, the Starter Kit, and the separately sold Stippling brush, Expert face brush, Setting brush, Blush brush, Shading brush and Fine liner brush.

If I could describe them in short: I wish I could keep on doing my make-up all day long just so I could feel the soft brushes on my face all the time! They are so soft and lovely, I would not want to use any other brushes ever again. I will go through my thoughts about them one by one.

• The Core Collection Kit
  
  Contour brush: great for contouring or bronzing, or putting a bit of blush on your cheeks. Doesn't leave streaks of colour but rather blends it out nicely.
  Pointed foundation brush: if you like applying your foundation with a flat brush like that, then it's really great. It's not too big so it gives precision. Also lovely for blending out your undereye concealer.
  Detailer brush: great for covering up spots and blemishes with your concealer. Also makes an excellent lip brush.
  Buffing brush: my favourite to apply foundation, of any consistency. It blends everything out so nicely, it makes a difference even with cheaper foundations. Also great to blend out your contour and blush after their application for smoother finish.

 The Core Collection Kit is great for getting the main brushes for your face make-up application. I purchased it first to try out the quality of the Real Techniques brushes before deciding if to purchase other brushes.

• The Starter Kit

Deluxe crease brush: a round dense brush great for using in your crease if you have larger eyelids. Also very nice for applying your concealer both under the eyes and on your blemishes, it blends the concealer out perfectly.

Base shadow brush: very soft and fluffy, so blends the eyeshadows like a dream, also nice to apply a wash of colour over your eyelid since it's not completely round.

Accent brush: small, short and flat - great for smudging!

Pixel-point eyeliner brush: I would agree with the opinion of the most that it is too thick for gel or liquid eyeliner. However I found use of it when applying highlighter around your tear duct or under your brows. Also, if you want to conceal some pixel point blemishes, it's great too.

Brow brush: thicker than most angled brushes, but still great for eyebrows, it takes less time to fill them in, but you get less precision, especially if your eyebrows are really thin.

Overall, the Starter Kit is a great selection of eye brushes. However, a brush thin enough for eyeliner and one for packing on an eyeshadow colour on the lid are sold separately and are not included in this set.

• Separate brushes

Fine liner brush: thin enough for precise application of gel or liquid eyeliner.
Shading brush: flat and dense, great for applying colour all over the eyelids or in the outer corner.

Blush brush: big and fluffy, a great face brush. Nice for applying powder blush, bronzer or just powdering your whole face.

Setting brush: similar to contour brush but less dense and more narrow, it's great to just set your foundation with powder when you want precision, like only powdering your nose, forehead or setting that concealer under your eyes.

Expert face brush: similar to buffing brush but smaller and flatter, also great for foundation.

Stippling brush: my favourite Real Techniques brush. Great for any foundation, cream or powder blush, highlighter, blending in your face make-up together, and just feels so nice when touching your face!

My collection is not complete, but from the brushes I've tried, I would definitely recommend them to anyone looking for brushes of professional quality and reasonable price. Good brushes do make a difference!
