I noticed that I've been doing a lot of makeup tutorials lately. Even though I enjoy doing those, what I really like is to express my creativity. Therefore, I created this short stop motion film.

This product has been a favorite of mine for months. Although the packaging says "powder blush", I guarantee you this is far from it... Unless you like a brown blush.

I've seen a lot of people using this for contouring and for a long time I did the same. However, I prefer this as a bronzer because of its brown base. It gives a stunning tanned look. It's totally acceptable to use this for contour, but I personally believe that grey based products do a better job at creating the illusion of a more structured face.

Harmony has a matte finish, which means it has no shimmer in it. This is not pigmented at all, it takes a lot of product to achieve a semi-intense look. Yes, this is amazing! When you're bronzing or contouring you want a not so pigmented product, or you could easily get carried away and have your makeup look muddy.

Being pale can be quite tricky when it comes to finding the perfect bronzer. However, this is my favorite matte bronzer so far. You just can't go wrong with this product. It's great to add some dimension to the face, it blends beautifully and I have no complaints about it.

Urban Decay eyeshadows are one of my favorites and the quality speaks for itself. This palette comes with six shimmery shadows, a lip-plumping gloss and a decent sized mirror. An interesting fact, you can remove the inside and use it as a makeup bag.

All eyeshadows are intense, the color payoff is incredible and they blend beautifully. This is the perfect case of "a little bit goes a long way". However, I have to admit, the top three shadows are not as buttery as the other three on the bottom part. A few of them have some fall out, while others don't.

These shadows are really versatile, you can create several different looks. My favorite shade in this palette is Mushroom, followed by Deeper. When compared to the others, these two are the most creamy/pigmented.

I'm always up for enhancing my lips and this lip plumper seems to help a little bit. I wouldn't say that it's like getting lip fillers, but it does give a slight illusion of an enhanced pout. It tingles a little bit and it has some fine glitter in it.

I use this palette very often, the color range is amazing and the pigmentation is extraordinary. Also, the lip gloss is great, that reminds me that I'm almost running out of mine.

Yesterday I was doing my makeup and I realized that I haven't reviewed this product yet. I believe that finding a good eyeshadow primer is the most effective way of getting your makeup to look more professional. It's awful when you put so much effort into the eye makeup and a few hours later your eyeshadow is creasing.

Paint Pots are a cream eyeshadow that can be used in a variety of ways, such as primer, eyeliner and on their own. In this case, Soft Ochre is incredibly versatile and could be used as a concealer, it really just depends on your skin tone. For reference, I'm a NC15 and it matches my complexion almost perfectly.

This has a matte finish and a light yellow undertone. On the container it looks really dark, however when it's blended it becomes much lighter. It has a thick consistency and you have to be really quick to blend it, or it will create some dry patches all over your eyelid.

As a primer this is incredible. It prevents creasing and it keeps your makeup in place for a long period of time. Also, it's great in case you just want to cancel out discoloration. Overall, I really love this product. I would without a doubt repurchase it.

For this tutorial I wanted to create a warm wearable halo look. This is ideal for both summer and winter.

Gel liners are the easiest way to do your eyeliner. If you're a beginner when it comes to makeup, or even if you're just not acquainted with eyeliners in general, I would highly recommend to start with cream liners.

Blacktrack is jet black and it dries opaque. It's pigmented, but not extremely pigmented, and the color is buildable. In order to do that, it's necessary to let it dry first and then proceed to apply a second layer. It's long lasting and it does not crack. However, I would advise to use a decent amount of product or you will not get a lot of color out of it.

I have been using this eyeliner nonstop for almost a year and so far it seems to be in the same condition as when I bought it. It hasn't dried out, it's very creamy and easy to work with.

From all the eyeliners I've tried, liquid liners included, this is my favorite. Even though, you kind of have to build up the color or be generous with the quantity you use, I really like the way it looks and how long it lasts. I will continue to use and repurchase it until the day I find something better.

I don't tend to gravitate towards cream products, because they get stale before powders and overall, they are messy to work with. However, since I tried both of these, I feel like giving a chance to others with a similar consistency.

These are amazing, they allow you to be creative and use them for whatever you desire. They are great eyeshadow bases, on their own and as eyeliner. Also, depending on the shade you get, I've seen people using them to highlight and contour.

Bad to the Bronze is a beautiful bronze with gold shimmer. Pomegranate Punk is a burgundy with an iridescent reflection. They're extremely pigmented and the color is buildable. Even though my eyelids are oily, they neither crease, nor start to look bad after a while.

I wouldn't worry about smudging, once it dries it does not budge. After swatching, I tried removing them from my hand using soap and water, but it would not even move a little bit. No need to panic, makeup remover will do the job.

I'm seriously in love with these eyeshadows. They're inexpensive and their quality is impeccable. I've had mine for a few months and they're still very creamy.

Which one is your favorite?
