MASCARA VOLUME EEFET FAUX CILS SHOCKING

Another mascara that I like from Yves Saint Laurent is the Shocking Mascara. The mascara exaggerates the lashes with shocking volume from every angle!

The brush is amplified helix brush with a twisted cut that provides instant volume curl and length to the lashes with effortless application. The brush is shaped and styled to give the maximum volume with looking heavy and thick. The slim brush allows for a perfect controlled and precise application with the creamy formula, which covers every lash. 

To apply this mascara start from the root of your lashes and wiggle the brush to the tip, this will stroke every lash and give more volume and length. In addition if you use a curler before mascara the results will be doubled. 

Below is a video, which shows Lloyd Simmonds demonstrating three Yves Saint Laurent signature looks, using Couture No7 eye shadow palette, Forever Youth Liberator Eye Serum and Touché Éclat, False Lashes Mascara, Baby Doll Mascara and the Shocking Mascara. Each mascara has been used to create different looks for different styles and occasions.

I personally use this mascara for special occasion where I am going for a more intense look; this is not a everyday mascara. I normally do two layers of this mascara as the mascara does not look heavy and thick and as the texture is creamy. None of Yves Saint Laurent mascara's clog up the lashes as most good mascara's tends to clog up the lashes

My everyday mascara is the false lashes and the baby doll but if I am looking for more intense look I use the false lashes or the shocking mascara with two layers. One layer of the mascara can be used for everyday purpose if you like as everybody lashes are different.

FUSION INK FOUNDATION

FEELS LIKE A FEATHER, 

WEARS LIKE AN INK!

Another foundation that I like from Yves Saint Laurent is Fusion Ink.  It is truly a revolutionary foundation and is only one of its kind.

The foundation is a 24 hours lasting foundation with a semi matte finish. It consist of space particles which makes it’s amazing special and makes the foundation so lightweight. It’s an exclusive formula, which never feels heavy or cakey. Normally good coverage foundation have thick particles of powder in them but fusion ink is different as it does contain powder but the powder is grinded to the tiniest formula and therefore this makes it long lasting as it has powder but not cakey as the powder is diffused immensely.

Although the foundation is a good coverage foundation it can be worn as light as possible or as heavy as possible. You have got try the foundation swatch on your hand and see how amazingly soft and velvety it feels and in addition it has Spf 18.

Normally I am not a fan of medium to full coverage foundations but when I tried this I was truly amazed. It did not feel like I had anything on, and after a few minutes it just diffused into my skin and made it look velvety smooth and flawless. It does last 24 hours as I tested it out, and it has been tested out by other people too especially celebrities. Double wear foundation by Estee Lauder has always been on top for full coverage foundation but the Fusion ink replaced it and many double wear customers switched to fusion ink as its much more weightless and natural looking.

Video demonstration by Yves Saint Laurent on how to you Fusion ink Foundation:

The foundation comes in a very sleek looking packaging and the applicator is shaped like a feather in a wand style. So whatever amount of foundation comes on the wand that is how much you need to apply on your face by just doing few strokes on cheeks, forehead and chin and then blend with a brush and if need more coverage follow the same routine again. The wand application is helpful as its stops people from pouring or pumping too much foundation on to your hand or on to your face and by this unique applicator you can control how much you use.
