Motives Beauty – Using a Quality Brush

February 26th // 3 Comments

MotivesĀ® Essential Brush Set – $73.00

Not investing in quality makeup brushes is like cheating yourself out of a flawless, fabulous, finished look.

Motives Cosmetics offers a high quality line of luxurious brushes, perfect for all trendsetters. Quality brushes are extremely important for a number of reasons. To begin, they allow for a more even application, and help prevent the average user from applying to much product, namely foundation, to their face.

After using a high quality bush, makeup applications will last longer, which is important for us girls on the go. Using the appropriate eye shadow brush will allow you to keep up with the latest looks and trends.

Keeping cosmetic brushes clean is just as important as using them appropriately. Clean brushes help to prevent buildup, breakouts, and allows for easier application because product does not stick to an oily brush. You can wash your Motives brushes with soapy water. If blemishes are a concern, you can use an antibacterial soap, or sanitizer. After washing your brushes, reshape them and lay flat, so that they dry appropriately and maintain their correct shape.

Love,
Loren

Fashion Tips – Playing With Proportion

February 26th // 2 Comments

One of the most important tips for figure flattery is how you use proportion and how you apply it to your body type. Skinny pants should most likely be worn with a looser top, and a bigger top should be worn with a skinny bottom. Check out this picture of Victoria Beckham wearing ultra skinny black leather pants and a faux fur jacket. She is petite, and this look works because it makes her appear taller and flatters her figure; the skinny pants elongate her legs and the jacket is cropped and hits her at the waist, the jacket adds volume around her shoulders but the proportions of the rest of her outfit still make her look lean and appear taller.

Check out some similar options after the jump, and play with proportions and flatter your figure at great prices!
