MYSTICAL MAKE UP AND BEAUTY

Makeup
“Freida has such gorgeous eyes!” said Leslie. “I really wanted to channel a young Sophia Loren and make Freida’s eyes the focal point of her look.”
Step by Step How-To
Leslie gave Freida a flawless face by starting with L’oréal Paris True Match Super-Blendable Foundation in W6 (Sun Beige). She created a sun-kissed look on the cheeks with L’oréal Paris Magic Smooth Soufflé Blush in Cherubic.
For Freida’s eyelids, she used L’oréal Paris Infallible Eye Shadow in Bronzed Taupe, and Iced Latte on the brow bone for an extra pop of shimmer. Leslie gave the look an extra layer of smokiness with L’oréal Paris Voluminous Smoldering Eyeliner in black before curling her lashes and applying a few coats of L’oréal Paris Voluminous Million Lashes Mascara in Black.
To keep Freida’s eyes the focus, she kept her lips on the natural side with L’oréal Paris Infallible Le Rouge in Lingering Mocha, a soft mauve.
Hair
Inspired by Freida’s princess-like Prada dress, Giannandrea wanted to keep the hair easy and simple so that the overall look was elegant, timeless and, of course, chic. Giannandrea created a soft twist with the top and sides of Freida’s hair while giving the crown that extra oomph for volume. Cascading waves fell softly down her back to maintain the feel of effortless beauty.
Step by Step How-To
Giannandrea began with wet hair and applied a generous amount of L’oréal Paris EverStyle Volume Boosting Mousse before using a hairdryer to blow it dry using only his fingers to give hair texture. He then applied L’oréal Paris EverStyle Alcohol-Free Volume Root Lifting Spray & Volume Boosting Mousse to just the crown area to create voluminous lift. Using a round brush, he blasted hair – separated in sections – with high heat and then temporarily set each section with Velcro rollers. After spraying each section with L’oréal Paris Elnett Satin Hairspray – Extra Strong Hold Unscented for a soft hold, he let the hair sit while Freida got her makeup done.
After her makeup was applied, he took out the rollers and brushed through the curls to create soft, flowing waves down her back. He then back combed the crown for added lift and took the top portion of the hair with a few pieces from each side and created a very subtle, soft twist that flowed into the length of the hair. To finish the look, he used a touch of the L’oréal Paris EverStyle Alcohol-Free Smooth & Shine Crème to smooth out the length and sides to give the style an overall clean feel. Giannandrea set Freida’s look with L’oréal Paris Elnett Satin Hairspray – Extra Strong Hold Unscented to keep hair in place throughout the night.

Nobody is Perfect, We all know that, but all the makeup, skin care adverts on magazines, on TV’s, Billboards etc. are so manipulated that sometimes I even as a beauty blogger can be fooled by those advertisements

Oh So why does Enchantress is talking about this subject at this time of the night. I am writing this according to the article I have just read.

As many of you may heard or not,  One of L'Oreal & Maybelline advertisements have been banned in UK.

I can not say I am sorry, I am quite happy for those bans.

Basically they are putting us into an idiot position.. 

It is easy to fool a women when it comes to makeup, beauty, aesthetics, it is our weakest link and many of us believes those and make purchases.

We all want to look nice, beautiful and perfect.

Makeup can cover blemishes, spots, acne, birth marks, but WE NEVER GET THE LOOK WE SEE IN ADS.

All those photos taken are played with Photoshop or some other programme, and than we see perfect flawless skin not even a single goose feet,no mimic lines,

That’s impossible!It is possible with Botox but not with foundations and concealers..

This is the advertisement of Lancôme's new Foundation and you can see Julia Roberts’s photo without Photoshop.

All her wrinkles have been touched up, her eye brows have been thickened, her nose have been touched up.

Her skin tone looks lighter than her normal skin tone..

Mostly, we believe to mascara advertisements, sometimes companies does not mention that they have been using fake lashes, eye lash inserts, or haven touched up in production.

After all those touch ups, model even does not look like herself, she is a different person, who appears on advertisements, her lashes does not belong to her, her lips looks fullers, she has nice long voluminous lashes, perfect brows.

Long, shiny, curly, hair,

Seems like the Princesses in fairy tales.

Or Barbie Dolls in shops? Robots?

Julia Roberts & Supermodel Christy Turlington were forced to be pulled by L'Oreal

Forget about everything, these girls look absolutely perfect and flawless in these advertisements

Nobody is perfect, we all have problems with our skin, as a result we are not factory made.

How about Shampoo Advertisements? wash & go out of the bathroom, Bingo, you have nice long, curled, shiny hair,

Yeah, I wish I had a magic wand to create all those things at once, with one touch,

We can sort of stop ourselves from buying it, but how about young girls, teenagers?

I think they definitely need to work on Mascara Advertisements too

you can read more @http://www.asa.org.uk/ASA-action/Adjudications/2011/7/LOreal-%28UK%29-Ltd/SHP_ADJ_149640.aspx

The mascara claims to provide a false lash effect, leaving lashes volumised, lengthened, texturized and curved. It also contains "sculpting fibres".

But does it really gives us what it promise?

When you open the mascara and you will notice that there are clumps on the mascara, so i cleaned it up before i use this

here on the second picture you can see the clumps clearly.

The bristle is a bit curved

looks like it has been bended

not the wand has only clumps, it causes clumps on your lashes and your lashes stick together

you need to comb them with a fan mascara brush after your mascara dries on your lashes

here is how Milla’s lashes look and now let’s look for her natural lashes

she still wears a mascara but there are million times difference when we compare this picture and the one used in Loreal add.

Well obviously Loreal heard our voice, we are not that stupid anymore to believe the adds used fake lashes on models, that looks gorgeous.

As I heard Milla did not wear fake lashes during these adds.

If she did not wear fake lashes why not our lashes looks like the lashes in the add or the makeup artist used a different mascara on the adds?

I loved their original telescopic mascara the one in brownish pack.. 

it cost me about £11.00, i bought this from Boots

I do not see anything like volume, length, texture, curl on my lashes.

an ordinary mascara would give me this look, it does not have to be L'Oreal…

you can see on left I am wearing a mascara and right no mascara

I had to wear 4-5 coats to give this look to my lashes, it is not fair, you need to be gentle to your lashes..

if you are dreaming of nice long, volumised, curved, long lashes

and If you think you can get this dream look with L'Oreal 4 D Mascara

I will say not me actually Marilyn Manson says for me “ Sweet Dreams are made of this “

This mascara is long lasting,  It will stay on your lashes all day and you will feel it, of course it will shout look she is wearing a mascara…   It will be hard to remove this mascara I recommend you to wear a oily based eye make up remover, by that you will removed it easily

I definitely not going to buy this mascara again,  L'Oreal Million Lashes Extra Black is much better than this mascara..
