Step By Step Caramel - Plum Eye Tutorial

Hey lovelies! Today I will be showing you how to achieve a wearable dramatic caramel-plum eye for special occasions. The great thing about this colour palette is that it goes well with most outfits like a neutral eye. At the same time, the plum adds mystery to dark eyes, making them pop. You can make it your own by applying false lashes or your favourite eyeliner style while pairing it with a variety of blush and lip shades. Many people have trouble defining their lower lash line, especially for dramatic looks so I have focused on this. This is a great option particularly for ladies with upturned eyes like mine as it balances out the shape beautifully.

Steps

1. Prime your eyes.

2. Apply a shimmery caramel (Frosted Choc) all over the lid with a flat shader brush (Sigma E55).

3. Blend a mid-tone matte mauve-brown (Milky) into the entire crease with a fluffy blending brush (DMGM Eye Smudge brush).

4. Deepen the outer half of your crease with a deep matte plum (Choc Fest) using a tapered blending brush (Sigma E45).

5. Highlight the inner corner and brow bone with a matte cream (Smoothly).

6. Define your upper lash line with black eyeliner (Midnight in Paris).

7. Pat and gently blend into the inner two-thirds of your lower lash line the mid-tone matte mauve-brown (Milky) from Step 3 with a pencil brush (Sigma E30).

8. Blend the deep matte plum (Choc Fest) from Step 4 into the outer one-third of your lower lash line, extending it till you reach your crease (Sigma E30). Soften any harsh edges with a fluffy blending brush (DMGM Eye Smudge brush).

9. Apply kohl (Colorstudio Pro Kohl Addict kajal) to your waterline.

10. Using a pencil brush (Sigma E30), diffuse the kohl pigment into the shadows of the lower lash line. Be careful not to make your lower lash line heavier than the upper one.

11. Curl your lashes (optional) and apply mascara. Conceal your under eye area and set it with a powder.

Oriflame Pure Nature Organic Tea Tree & Rosemary Purifying Wash & Tone Gel - Review

Hey girls! Today I will be addressing a distressing skin care problem that we have all faced at some point especially sensitive and oily skinned ladies. I have sensitive skin that tends to break out easily due to a number of different factors which I am sure are not the same for everyone. I always stress on the use of products which contain natural remedies for acne so I decided to try out the Oriflame Pure Nature Organic Tea Tree & Rosemary Purifying Wash & Tone Gel. Read on to find out how it worked out for my skin along with some tips I recommend for acne prevention and treatment.

Product Claims

2-in-1 gel with pure organic tea tree and rosemary oil. It lathers to gently remove impurities and excess sebum, while naturally helping to clear blemishes.

What Do I Think?

The bottle comes with a screw top and an inner lid pierced with a small hole for dispensing the product. I find this design useful because I always regret wasting a cleanser when I turn the bottle upside down and it all comes oozing out. The actual product is a clear pale blue-green gel that lathers up pretty nicely so you only need a small amount for your entire face. The consistency is thin but that is not a problem because the packaging only lets out a little product at a time. I was surprised that it gave such a soothing sensation on coming into contact with my skin. I have even used it for my inflamed skin after threading my upper lip for its soothing properties. I could feel it cleaning away the oil and impurities properly but it did not feel harsh at all. On patting my face dry after rinsing my face I was very pleased to discover that it did not over dry my skin at all. My skin felt fresh and clean with the moisture nicely balanced. This product contains tea tree oil which is known to be a very powerful anti-acne agent because of its antibacterial, antifungal and anti-inflammatory properties. Rosemary oil is another ingredient present which reduces the inflammation of the skin caused by breakouts to help heal your skin.

I have definitely noticed how these active ingredients help dry up pimples, impede their development and finish them off before they have even matured. I never rely on just one product to treat breakouts but I have tried this gel as a spot treatment too and it works really well that way. It has no side effects and works really well for my combination skin so I am now on my second bottle. I have tested this product on my family members who have normal and oily skin so I can safely say that it is suitable for all skin types. You might think that it is overpriced with regards to the volume you get for the price but I assure you it will last you a long time even if you use it twice daily. I have found this to be a great face wash for every season. I would strongly recommend this to everyone who wants a product that constantly fights acne and helps keep the skin blemish free with its healing powers.
