Makeup and Beauty Blog Horoscope

Found this in Karen's blog (http://www.makeupandbeautyblog.com) and I thought it was interesting to share. Happy reading!



Aries (March 21- April 19)
Make room in your luggage for an extra large makeup bag, amazing Aries, because travel’s on the table this month. Make sure you pack your beauty necessities (how’s your lash curler?), and triple check everything, including the fine print on your itinerary, because Mercury, being in retrograde, might try to cause problems.

Taurus (April 20-May 20)
Peruse the perfume department for a sexy new scent, tempting Taurus. With Venus in Scorpio cranking up your levels of passion and affection this month, you’ll find yourself in the mood to get a little closer to others (now don’t be shy).

Gemini (May 21-June 20)
If you’re single, jazzy Gemini, get ready for a grand adventure. If you’re attached, book a couples massage at a fancy schmancy spa. Your independent streak will shine brightly this month, and you might feel the need to exercise your freedom (which could make things difficult for your partner). Try to plan some activities with your sweetheart so you don’t grow apart.

Cancer (June 21-July 22)
Treat yourself to some new work-friendly eye makeup, charming Cancer. With a New Moon in Sagittarius, your career could shift into overdrive, making you feel extra motivated and optimistic at work.

Leo (July 23-August 22)
Fill your makeup bag with long-wearing makeup essentials for last-minute party invites, lovely Leo, because adventure’s in the air! Your month will be filled with opportunities to mix and mingle with a new love interest; expect a fun romantic adventure around December 21.

Virgo (August 23-September 22)
Break out your little black dress, vivacious Virgo, and get ready for action, because Cupid has an arrow with your name on it. Don’t be surprised if a former flame reconnects with you; Mercury’s making you remember an earlier love, and what approaches will be an intensely romantic phase… There’s no telling what could happen!

Libra (September 23-October 22)
Don’t forget to breath, alluring Libra, and try some calming essential oils on your pulse points. Expect a last-minute travel invite or some unexpected news from afar on or around December 21. Practice your relaxation exercises (and do your best to unwind), so you’re able to keep your cool.

Scorpio (October 23-November 21)
My goodness, what’s that glow?! Why, it’s you in the spotlight, stunning Scorpio. With Venus moving though Scorpio, all eyes will be on you this month. Make appointments to get your hair and nails did, because you’ll want to look your best.

Sagittarius (November 22-December 21)
Break out your makeup brushes, and let your imagination run wild, sassy Sagittarius! This month will fill you with lots of energy, confidence, motivation and creativity; it will be a great time to express yourself through a few bold new makeup looks.

Capricorn (December 22-January 19)
Find the time to buy a new pair of comfortable (and cute!) dancing shoes, captivating Capricorn, because Jupiter and Uranus will give you happy feet. Stay limber, because this month will have you feeling extra festive and energetic!

Aquarius (January 20-February 18)
Plan a movie night at home with a friend, adorable Aquarius, or an at-home spa day with your closest buds. With Mars in Capricorn, you may crave the comforts of home over being out and about.

Pisces (February 19-March 20)
It’s party time, playful Pisces! If anyone out there could handle the coming flood of holiday parties this month, it’s you. Don your favorite party makeup looks (perhaps something with glitter?), and enjoy this festive time.

Makeover-Emo Look for boys




Did a makeover for this sweetheart and I decided to go for emo look!


How to create this look? I've emphasised more on his eyebrow and eyes. I've drawn thick black eyeliner around his eyes and did a little bit of contouring around his cheeks. Line and draw the eyebrows and end with a touch of nude lips.

Biore UV Perfect Face Milk SPF 50+ PA+++

Biore UV Perfect Face Milk, 30ml

I've heard so much raved about this product, so I've decided to purchase it since it's very affordable (SGD12) furthermore it has SPF 50+ (that's at least what we need for this humid weather). Bought it at Watsons a few days back and here's my review.

Hooked to it since the first time I tried! It is liquid based and milky in texture. You need to shake the bottle well to get the best mixture. It feels powdery (as it contains Sebum-absorbing powder) after application and leaves a matt effect. It is shine free and non-sticky at all! Works well as a makeup base and love the smell too!

It did a good job throughout my day and I'll definately repurchase it!

It also comes in 3 other different packaging & uses. Well, choose the best one for your needs!



Biore UV Bright Face Milk, 30ml

Superior lightweight UV block for face, Radiant Effect. Provides SPF50+/ PA+++ UV protection. It has an ultra light and non-sticky texture. Also an ideal makeup base, it contains ultra fine light correction powder to cover pores, correct skin dullness and brighten skin tone to give you that radiant look!

Biore UV Moist Face Milk, 30ml

Superior lightweight UV block for face, Moisturising Formula. Offers SPF50+/ PA+++ UV protection and has an ultra light and non-sticky texture. Also an ideal moisturising makeup base, it prevents skin from drying due to UV rays and air-conditioning to keep skin smooth and supple.



Biore UV Perfect Milk, 40ml

Long-lasting UV block for face and body. A UV block offering SPF50+/ PA+++ protection. Its water-proof and perspiration-resistant formulation makes it effective for outdoor protection. Ultra light and non-sticky texture spreads evenly on the skin, leaving a sheer, natural finish with no white residue.

Favourite Lipstick & Lip Gloss from DMU


Creme Lipstick (Wish) - S$14.00

This is just perfect to complete my Monday-Friday look! Lipstick colour is natural and suits my medium skin tone. Loves!

To be honest, I fell in love with the packaging. Classic beauty!

See my swatches below

Liquid Lips - S$14.50 (left-Bronze Ice, right-Silky)

Next up! Impressive colours that suits your needs! For the bronzy lover, Bronze Ice suits best and for the nude lover, choose silky!

Besides the strong fragrance from the lip glosses, smells nice though but I prefer fragrance free =), its liquid solution is thick and its long wearing. It looks gorgeous on the lips when you put on!

My all time favourite, Silky!

Look Like Beyonce Knowles


Known for her outstanding voice and excellent performances, Beyonce Knowles is certainly a music-industry icon. You’ll never catch her strolling the red carpet in anything other than fabulous clothes and beautiful makeup. Beyonce’s look revolves around the latest fashion trends, with a touch of hip-hop flair. When it comes to her makeup, Beyonce tends to always play up at least one feature. She manages to look glamorous yet not too over-the-top. With a little effort and the right tools, you can easily re-create Beyonce’s makeup.

Things you need:
Moisturizer
Foundation
Concealer
Face Powder
Blusher
Eyeshadow
Eyeliner
False Eyelashes
Lipliner
Lipgloss

Step 1
Prior to applying makeup, cleanse your skin. Towel-dry it gently once it is cleansed. Follow up with your favorite moisturizer. Allow it to be absorbed into your skin for at least 10 minutes. It is essential to do this step properly, because it will prevent breakouts and clogged pores.


Step 2
Apply face makeup. Beyonce’s skin always looks smooth and glowing. To achieve this, dot foundation onto your face. Blend the foundation using a foundation brush or a damp sponge.


Step 3
Conceal any imperfections. Concealer is great for covering up areas that need a little extra help. Apply the concealer to these areas and allow it to dry. Set your makeup with face powder.


Step 4
Add a pop of color. One of the reasons Beyonce’s skin is always glowing is that she always wears blush. Apply blush to the apples of your cheeks. Remember to apply it cautiously, because it’s much easier to layer it on than remove it.


Step 5
Complete eye makeup. Beyonce sticks with eye shadows that are natural or smoky. Apply a medium-toned color to your eyelids. Use a darker color in the crease to contour your eye. Once your eye shadow has been properly blended, line both your top and bottom eyelids. Once that is complete, apply glue to your false eyelashes. Carefully put on your eyelashes, making sure they are in place before the adhesive dries.

Step 6
Apply lip gloss. Once the majority of your makeup is complete, it’s time to add the finishing touch. Line your lips with a flesh-colored lip liner. Then apply a coat of your favorite shimmery nude lip gloss.
