Make-up Essential for beginners...:)

All About JC Jants

Yea, so its been an issue for me whether what is really really my make up essentials. What I must have in my make up kit, if I'm on really tight budget? What make up I really need?

 There's a lot of make up products out there. So it is really really hard to choose if what make up you really need for everyday look. Of course, there are liquid foundations, concealers, mascara, bronzers, blush, lipsticks, eye shadows, pencil liner, highlighter, liquid liner and etc. So I've been thinking about what make up product that I can't live without. Its super hard to choose because I love make up.


If you are on really tight budget and want to look fabulous. Then you must evaluate what you like, what you love, and just go with it.

There are like a lot of make up product that I will die just to have it but After how many hours of evaluating, my MUST HAVE make up essentials:

1). FOUNDATION/ BB CREAM:

                     I can't live without foundation or BB cream. You see I don't have the most amazing skin. And I'm very insecure with my face, so I always want my face to look flawless. Foundation/ BB cream helps cover my flaws.

2). LIQUID LINER:

             I love liquid eye liner to death. It saves my life. Liquid liner makes my eyes pop, smaller, look like an anime. I'm not impress with gel liner for some reason. I guess it is because it dries out easily and I have oily skin so it tends to smudge which I hate. At the end of the day I look like I've been punch or I have black eye which is not good at all. And it also makes my eye bags look very visible. So, I'm not a fan of gel liner.
 

3). CONCEALER
   
          If I can't live without my foundation then I also can't live without my concealer. Concealer have always been my best friend for the past years. I always always have to have a concealer in my make up kit. Concealer for me is a miracle make up product ever. It makes my imperfections vanish. I super love concealer.

4). LIP TINT

        Yes, I can't live without my lip tint. It is very important to me. In my last make up review (nichido lipstick) I said that I'm not a fan of lip stick. Yes I'm not a fan of lipstick, maybe because I haven't tried high ends lipstick or maybe I'm just not comfortable wearing lipstick. Here in our place, make up is a very big deal for them I just don't know why. If your wearing make up then they stare at you and start talking about you which is so weird, it is very uncomfortable.

     I love lip tint because it looks very natural and unlike lipstick it is not sticky. One more thing why I love lip tint, is because you can also use it as your blush which is amazing. That's the reason why I didn't include blush in my list of make up essentials.



               There are lot of products (cosmetics) in the world and not all are affordable. So if youre beginner or just starting to collect make up for your make up kit then always make sure that you have all the products listed. There are high ends brands and also drugstore brands for all this make up products, they are all your choice. So don't forget that looking your best doesn't have to be expensive. Till next time. :)

All About JC Jants


Holla Dreamers,

It's been a while (as usual) since I last blog. As usual I've been super busy lately in school. Don't worry I've been collecting lots of beauty product to review for you guys. So stay tune for that. Because school is fast approaching, I cannot promise to do a blog every other day so I decided to do a Blog every Friday. So let's get started with my review. :)

In these blog I'm going to review the Ben Nye 5 stack concealer or also known as the Ben Nye Neutralizer Stack in NT-2. Concealer is a must have beauty product in your make up kit. Finding the concealer that suits you is really really hard. There are lots of brands that have concealer but not all products can cover your imperfections and that's the truth. I'm on the search of the best concealer that can cover my dark circles and other imperfections that is also affordable. But here in our place, we don't have lots of products to choose from. So all I do this search online.



Product Description: ( http://www.anniescostumes.com/neutralizer-makeup-stack.html)

The Ben Nye Neutralizer 5 Stack concealer consist of the 5 most popular Ben Nye Neutralizer and concealer. This concealer is super convenient to bring for it is in a stackable make up cups. . The concealer includes Mellow Yellow shades that can cover redness, and other concealer that can erase and disguise the appearance of blemishes and skin imperfections for flawless, long lasting coverage. Highly pigmented means great cover and long lasting product.

Shades:
CC-1 --- Coverette ultra Fair
MY-1---Mellow Yellow Fair
MY-2---Mellow Yellow Normal
NB-3---Blue Neutralizer NO.3
NT-2--- Tattoo Cover NO. 2



                         




    This is the Ben Nye Neutralizer Concealer.  The packaging is a plastic pot container. Net weight of this product is 8.5 grams. AMAZING!














       It contains 5 pot in one stack concealer..:) Great deal.



     









 Contains 5  best selling concealer of Ben Nye which is the Mellow yellow, Mellow Orange and etc..

 Here's a swatch of the concealer. :)
So I'm using the darkest shade to cover my dark circles and after I blend the other concealer that is 2-3 shades lighter than my skin tone.

----------------------------------FOR THE SCARY PART-------------------------------


 FOR DARK CIRCLES:

BEFORE: This is my eyes without the concealer on. Pretty scary. I KNOW RIGHT! :) I have pretty bad dark circles.







AFTER: As you can see, my dark circles are covered. YEY! I'm so loving this concealer. This will be my favorite concealer as of this moment. LOL!





FOR REDNESS:

BEFORE:
My nose area is the most prone area to get really really red. :(











AFTER: The redness around my nose are GONE! YEY! lets party! JOKE haha.. I'm so happy. :) I don't know if you can see, but it cake up a little bit because I actually place lot of product. I just damp my brush and I didn't notice that I place to much. MY BAD! :( So yea, learn from my mistake..:(  Don't put lot of product when using this concealer. It is super pigmented, and when a product is highly pigmented it tend to cake up when applying to much. Looking cake-y is a big NO NO. So avoid that. :)





LIKES:
It is not bulky compared to other concealer brands. The coverage is highly pigmented so a little bit goes a long way (AMAZING). :) The odor is okay not too strong. The packaging is at its best. I love the packaging of this product very elegant looking but I think the packaging is a plastic type of container ( not a glass) which is not a big deal for me. The container is full of concealer which is perfect. I will not run out of concealer anytime soon. LOL. It really covers my dark circles, red spots and other imperfections.


DISLIKES:
When you apply lots product or when you happen to apply lots of product it will look super cakey. Its very dry so when you apply this concealer you must always always apply moisturizer. It doesn't glide smoothly (as I said earlier it is super dry).




Conclusion:
This concealer is a little bit expensive (P1650) but then the product is amazing. It have everything you need for a concealer. Very pigmented, Covers my imperfections. I love it. Will I buy this product again? DEFINITELY! I do recommend this concealer to anyone who are looking for great concealer. You must really try this out. This concealer is a must have in your make up kit/ beauty box.

NOTE: THIS MAKE UP REVIEW IS MY OPINION ONLY.  We have different skin types so it may vary maybe a little bit.
