Luminous Makeup Look!

(my luminous makeup look only using products I already have!)

I know right now the bright luminous look is really popular and I am also a huge fan of a luminous look. Unfortunately because I have oily skin, most illuminating makeup products will only make my skin look more oily. I've heard amazing things about Maybelline's Lumi collection! Wish I could give it a try, but here I came up with this look using regular products I already have.

The picture above is the new luminous look while the picture below shows my usual makeup routine.

(regular makeup look)

As you can tell, I have gotten a bit darker due to the sunny rays down here in Southern California, but none the less, you can easily tell the luminous effect with my makeup. The trick is to use a yellow undertone concealer to brighten up the highlighting features on your face. After I had complete my foundation routine before using a translucent powder, I went and applied the concealer on the middle of my forehead above my eyebrows, down the bridge of my nose, brow bone (where you would usually put a highlight eyeshadow), on my under eyes (in an upside down triangle), a bit on my cupid's bow and chin. Using a foundation brush, I blended the yellow undertone concealer to those areas and applied my translucent powder all over my face. After I lightly applied a hint of highlight, but not too much since my has glitter flex in it. Then finishing my face with my bronzer (to warm up and contour) and a small amount of blush. I'd be more than happy to make a video of how I achieved this look, please let me know! (my youtube channel is heytiffy92) The products used for my luminous makeup look will be listed below.

Revlon Lip Butter vs. Loreal Paris Color Riche Balm

This is an epic battle between two products released around the same time. Though it's a tricky to decide which is best for you, I thought I'd give you some insight on my experience with both products. I do love both products and they both serve good purposes. The Revlon Lip Butter is great for the girl who is experiencing with new lip colors and lipstick. The lip butter is moisturizing with beautiful pigmentation. While the Color Riche Balm is more a tinted lip balm. I find purposes for both! I do also mix the two for certain lip looks, (as I've shared in previous post). Lots of bloggers and vloggers have talked about this battle between the two products. In my perspective, there's no winner or even a war to be fought. Both are very different! The best part is that both are moisturizing. On the days you're looking for a light tint/sheen, go for the Color Riche Balm. The days you're feeling bold, but don't want to carry so much makeup, grab the lip butter!

I'M BAAACK!
