7 steps to the perfect eyebrows!

Eyebrows for me are super important, the correct shape and color can make or break your whole look... having your eybrows on point even for a minimal look is super important!

My friend came over last night and I reshaped as well as filled in her eyebrows... 

I used an angled brush, and used Fashionistas brow palette to fill in (you can use brown eyeshadow also, or any other brow palette)

STEP 1 - Shape eyebrow with any method you prefer, I used tweezers. 

STEP 2 - using the wax from the palette I went over the brows, this helps to hold the hairs down and keep the shape. 

STEP 3 - mix some of the darkest brown with 1 drop of Illamasqua sealing gel to make a paste (the paste should be a little thick) the sealing gel helps make your eyebrows waterproof & smudge proof.

STEP 4 - line and shape with the angled brush under the eyebrows

STEP 5 - using gentle brush strokes fill in the brows

STEP 6 - neaten up the edges (on top and underneath the brows) with a concealer brush and some concealer, on in this case, I actually used NYX Primer in shade SKIN TONE

STEP 7 - set the primer with a nude eyeshadow and then highlight using any highlighting powder you like. in this case I used Urban Decay Naked Basics Eyeshadow in W.O.S and to highlight VENUS.

For the rest of the face, I used Daniel Sandler Perfect Canvas in shade 09, this shade was amazing on her, and made her face look flawless, almost airbrushed! 

She loved the outcome of the whole look, that she is now buying most of the products I used on her, in particular the Illamasqua Sealing Gel and the Daniel Sandler Perfect Canvas Foundation

What do you think of her new eyebrows? What method do you use when filling in and shaping yours??

Daniel Sandler Perfect Canvas in shade 08 & 09

Hey lovelies

I received today 2 more perfect canvas foundations in shade 08 and 09, these are the two lightest shades available on the Daniel Sandler website.

In the pics below, I am wearing Perfect Canvas in shade 08!

I love how this feels on the skin! It seriously feels like there is nothing on it, it blends super easy with my Real Techniques Stipling brush, you only need a small amount and just layer it if you want extra coverage. As you can see it also photographs quite well, the pic on the lower left was taken in front of my window with natural light shining through :)

Im super anal about my scars and this doesnt sink into them (i did use a primer though) however even with a primer i find that some foundations still sink into the scars and make them stand out more. All in all, Im super happy with this Daniel Sandler Perfect Canvas foundation :)

just as a little side note, shade 08 isnt 'yellow' based, it has more of a pinkish undertone, and although I have an olive complexion I have a mix of yellow and pink undertones and this still suited quite well.

i hope this has been helpful, would love to know your opinions if you have tried these shades yourself :)

DANIEL SANDLER PERFECT CANVAS FOUNDATION AND CAMO COVER

A quick post on Daniel Sandler Perfect Canvas Foundation and Camo Cover

I needed to get a few foundations for darker skin tones, and I had initially been looking at Maq Pro foundations but then I came across a blog post from epiphanniea and thought I would give Daniel Sandler a go, especially as the foundations where (and still are) only £2.50, this is an 'offer' price, and the shades tend to vary mainly for darker skin tones... I would say from Olive (tan) skin tones to the more darker ebony tones with red undertones... for me the shades available where perfect! I also ordered 3 different shades of Daniel Sandler Camo Cover.

Daniel Sandler Perfect Canvas Shades: 19, 18, 17, 16, 15 (x3) 

Daniel Sandler Camo Cover Shades: 9, 8, 5

The swatch above, is shade 15 at the top down to shade 19 (Perfect Canvas Foundation) and shades 9, 8 and 5 concealer (Camo Cover) on the right.

I edited my order sooooo many times that I hadnt realised I had ordered shade 15 Perfect Canvas THREE TIMES! lol uuppsss... so I am sending 2 back in exchange for sades 8 & 9 which are the two lightest shades currently available (I want to use them on myself for a follow up review!)

The bottles are quite small, they are 15ml (0.5fl oz) but the general opinion is that a little goes a long way and so this will last you quite a while, depending on how often you use them! but kit wise these are perfect as they dont take up much space...

The Camo Covers, are quite creamy but they seem to dry very quickly, I ordered shade 5 thinking it would be alright for me, but I think its going to be quite dark, so once I try it on mysef I can do a better review on it, these where also on sale! These concealers claim to be 'Heavy Duty with added Tea Tree' so not only will they cover dark circles but they will also treat :)

With my purchase, I also received a FREE Concealer Brush so definately looking forward to using that :)

Have you tried any Daniel Sandler products? if so, what have you tried and what is your opinion??
