[Requested[ Sultry Look with the Too Faced Chocolate Bar Palette and Sweetheart Blushes

I got a request to do a sultrier look using the Too Faced Chocolate Bar palette as most of the looks around were softer day looks.

It’s actually not hard to do stronger looks with this palette, even though the shades aren’t particularly dark. That’s because many of these shades are high-shine, dramatically metallic ones, which can really give a look plenty of drama without necessarily needing to be all dark and smoky. 

I used 4 shades marked out in the image above, and if you are not able to get hold of this palette, you just need to look out for similar shades. 

Products used: 

Base: Dior Nude liquid foundation 021

Concealer: MAC Studio Moisture Cover

Setting Powder: Guerlain Meteorites 03 Medium

Blush (base): Too Faced Sweetheart Blush in Peach Beach all over the cheeks and brow bones

Blush (pop): Too Faced Sweetheart blush in Something About Berry

Brows: Shu Uemura Hard Formula 9 in Grey

Eyeshadows: Too Faced chocolate Bar palette

Eyeliner: NYX Skinny Brown Liner

Mascara: Maybelline Great Lash mascara in Blackest Black

Lipstick: MAC Angel lipstick

💙ALPHABET CREAMS💙

We’ve all heard of the typical AA (anti-aging) creams, but now, going shopping for a daily moisturizer is like shopping for shoes. There’s so many!!! How do I know which product is right for my skin? What’s the difference? Here, I will break down what the differences are in these creams.

AA- Anti-aging BB- Blemish balm/beauty balm CC-Color correction DD-Daily Defense/Daily do-all

AA and BB creams are essentially the same product with a different name. They’re both packed with moisturizers to keep your skin glowing, and also full of SPF to protect your skin from the sun. Note: the BB creams aren’t full-on anti-aging so it’s suggested to “use them as a supplement -not in place of- other anti-aging creams or serums”

CC creams correct your skin tone. They have tinted moisturizers in them to give your skin a more flawless appearance. They’re lightweight and durable, and they usually absorb into skin fairly quickly. These creams, too, protect the skin from the sun and provides coverage of imperfections.

DD creams are moisturizing, color correcting, anti-aging creams with SPF agents to protect your skin from the sun.

All-in-all, these creams are the same. There’s no huge difference between them and they’re all used for moisturization, tone correction, SPF, and anti-aging.

LONG, HEALTHY HAIR 💇💇💇💇💇

The key to long, healthy hair is getting it trimmed, regularly, every 6-12 weeks. And when I say “trim”, I literally mean take an 1/8” - 1/2” every time. It might sound silly to only take that much off, but in doing so you’re allowing your hair to grow from root to tip. Yes, letting your hair grow and not cutting it at all does grow hair as well, but what you’ll be experiencing is hair growing from the root and breaking before it grows fully to the tip. If you don’t like trimming your hair often and you experience breakage, I recommend using Garnier Fructis Fall Fight shampoo and conditioner (from the drug store), or Nexxus Dualiste Shampoo Color Protection and Anti-Breakage products (from beauty supply store). 👑 Never wash your hair in hot water. Lukewarm water to wash and cool water to rinse. The cooler temperature of the water seals the cuticle of the hair to keep it healthy. Hot water opens up those cuticles allowing healthy enzymes to escape. 👄 Cut down on brushing!!! I know you’ve heard of the girls in fairy tales brushing their hair 100 strokes for beauty, but this is false. Brushing pulls hair out before it’s ready to fall out, thinning your hair. I brush my hair once a day and always use detangler when I get out of the shower. 💃 Use hair-friendly accessories. Hair bands with the metal connector piece are a no-no! They’ll snag onto hair and break hair off mercilessly. Also, using a plain rubber band as a substitute for a hair band is a bad choice for hair as well, for the same reason as the metal edges. Non-metal bands and hair sticks are your best (and safest) bet. 👠 Pitfalls for hair include heat and harsh chemicals. So everyday after you get out of the shower you’re blowing dry and straightening your hair, you’re taking away the lustre of your hair. Heating it too hot can cause it to dry out and break. Same goes for hot ironing tools. Chemicals such as perms, peroxide and bleach, and chemical straighteners also damage hair, so it’s best to stay away. But if you can’t, try my at-home Malibu treatment!!! You’ll need: your favorite conditioner and at least 5 Kool-Aid Lemonade packets. Mix ingredients until you get a thick paste and apply to wet hair for 20-30 minutes. You’ll get a salon quality Malibu treatment for a fraction of the cost! 👗 Eat foods high in zinc, iron, and vitamin C. Basically, a “healthy hair diet is a healthy body diet; what’s good for your body is good for your hair”. You can also try prenatal vitamins or Hair, Skin & Nail vitamins with biotin and/or collagen.

Lips, Eyes and Face

Here are just a few tips I have acquired along the way.

LIPS: *To make lips look bigger/fuller, apply lighter, luminizing colors to the Cupid’s bow area. *To ensure your lipstick goes on as flawlessly as possible, I recommend exfoliating the lips with a sugar/honey scrub to eliminate any dead skin. *If you’re looking for the full color affect of the lipstick you have chosen, prime your lips with a foundation first. This makes it easier for you to get that “true color” you’re seeing on the tube. 👄💄💋

EYES: *Prime your eyes from the lid to the brow bone and apply a very small amount underneath the eye as well. This helps shadows stay on longer without creasing. It’s pretty much essential to prime everything!!!! My favorite eyeshadow primer is baremineralsmakeup prime time. *To make eyes look larger, curl your lashes, apply mascara to lower lash line, and keep your eyebrows manicured. *Alternately, you can make your eyes look smaller by applying eyeliner to the lower water line. * Q: When do I throw out my mascara? A: Mascara “expires” after about 6 weeks, no matter which brand you have. Since mascara is prone to bacteria, it’s important to switch mascaras regularly. 👀👓

FACE: * Keep your face hydrated!!!! No one is attractive with a dry forehead! *Primer. It settles into the pores and lines in your face making the application of foundation smoother. Again, it’s crucial to prime everything!

To highlight, use a concealer that is two to three shades lighter than your skin tone. To contour, use a shade two to three shades darker, along side a Bronzer and blush.
