TRESTIQUE CONTOURING

Look familiar? For those that follow our Blog - these are the previously reviewed Trestique products in action!

First I started with the bronzer in Brazilian Bronze to define or contour the hallows of my cheeks, forehead, nose, beneath my bottom lip & jawline. On the apples of my cheeks,  I used the blush stick in Bora Bora Coral and the highlight stick in Maldives Luminescent on the highest points of my cheeks, down the bridge of my nose, center of my forehead & my chin. Once I was done with placement, I blended them out to banish any harsh lines. Also, because I was doing a full face application, I set my face with powders instead of leaving it as is.

I just love these products - easy to use for anyone at any level of makeup skills!

BUXOM BEAUTY

This is the Buxom Serial Kisser Set that came with these 5 adorable colors shown above.

The colors all have a sheen/lustre to them so they are obviously not matte! However, heres a little trick to make any non-matte lipstick matte: All you need is a tissue & some translucent loose powder! You can do two things:

1: You put a little bit of the powder on the tissue, distribute it evenly, and dab it on your lips.

2: Place the tissue on your lips and with a brush dip into your loose powder and stipple the powder directly onto the tissue...the powder will go through the tissue onto your lips and make them matte!

Voila you have matte lips! I tried this technique with these glosses and the colors were even prettier when matted.

My favorite is "Centerfold" & "Mistress" I like to mix the two!

The one color I dislike and will probably not use is "Moonlighter" because it is shiny as you can kind of tell from my swatch & the color is not appealing in my opinion.

Otherwise, I am loving these mini lipsticks. They look full size in my picture above but don't be fooled they are pretty tiny and travel friendly! The lipstick itself is also very skinny and miniature.
