Most of ya'll know I don't play around about taking my makeup off before I go to bed. Hunti, you don't want that makeup clogging up your pretty skin. With that being said, here is a EASY way to make your own makeup remover right at home. Just 3 ingredients!!!

Hey Fresh Faced Beauties...

If the expiration date is not displayed then call the products customer service number.

Make-Up can harbor harmful bacteria that can lead to infections if you don't pay attention to expiration dates. It can also be harmful if you share your cosmetics with friends. So you might want to think twice before you allow your friend to use your make-up.

If your cosmetic product has a slight odor then leave it alone!!! You also want to be careful of where you buy your cosmetic products. Some stores don't have a lot of customers and as a result the owners don't replace products not knowing cosmetics expire. I went to a unpopular little dollar store and purchased some clear Lip gloss. After applying it to my lips, my lips got a rash all over them. (TMI, I know lol) I say all that to say stick with stores who have keep fresh stock of cosmetics or specialize in them. Places such as, CVS, or any drug store, Ulta, Sephora...and well you get the idea.

As always I hope this helps :-) Follow me on Instagram  @facesbymoni

Ok ladies, I know that its kinda hard to put on a full face of make-up when its time for work, grocery store, or wherever. As a result we start doing what I call occasional make-up (birthdays, Dates, Clubbing, special events). DON'T GIVE UP LADIES....because I have a solution that is quick and easy.

Its just THREE simple things that will give you enhance your beauty and it really hardly takes no time at all! Ok are ya ready for the 3 things.......Well....

All you need is:

I promise you just those three is all you need for a simple enhanced look. Get a little make-up bag and keep those three handy. Sometimes you can be creative and use a pretty purple, or blue eyeliner. You don't always have to use black or brown.

The picture below is of one of my BFF's (Lena), I just simply used blush, tinted lipgloss and eyeliner and just that gave her a gorgeous look...how long did it take...umm less than 2 min.


Well as always, I hope this was helpful and I hope you start your day with 3 beauty enhancing things that takes less then 2 min....

Do you want to maximize the intensity of your eyeshadow?
Do you want you eyeshadow to last for hours?
Are you tired of fallout? (eye shadow falling beneath your eye and on your cheeks)

Well then honey you MUST use a Eyeshadow BASE before you apply your eyeshadow. Base is also slightly sticky and that helps with eyeshadow falling all over the place.

Eyeshadow BASE is easy to apply, you can just use the tip of your finger and apply it smoothly all over your lid. If you are new to make-up just get a white and neutral color base to start out with. I suggest you use NYX base. http://www.nyxcosmetics.com/products/eyes/eye-shadow-base/eye-shadow-base

M.A.C. has a product called PAINT POT, You can use paint pot as a base because its a highly pigmented eye colour that goes on creamy but dries to an intense, vibrant finish. Long-wearing, colourfast. Creates seamless coverage without weight or caking. http://www.maccosmetics.com/product/shaded/154/1573/Paint-Pot/index.tmpl

NYX Jumbo Pencil are great as a base as well. I use these when I'm going for a dramatic look such as a smokey eye. For example if I am doing a deep rich purple I use a purple Jumbo pencil first and then apply the eye shadow. Its great as a base because its made with mineral oil and powder and has the same consistency of a base. MUA's (Check on the right side of my blog for a list of make-up Artist lingo) call them grease paint sticks. Most good make-up brands make them such as M.A.C. and MakeUp Forever. NYX Jumbo pencil is LESS expensive tho!!

If you want to take it a step further for Flawless eyeshadow...then use a Primer first before the base.

Q: Monica what the HECK is PRIMER?
A: Don't worry, I'll explain in my next topic hehehee
