PRO MUA KIT. The Shape Tape Concealer is their bestselling concealer. Details 👇🏻

💜 Full coverage, vegan formula 
💜 Undereye area appears smoother and brighter  
💜 Large wand makes for a quick and easy application  
💜 Excellent shade range, covering different skin tones and undertones  
💜 Free from parabens, mineral oil, phthalates, triclosan, sodium lauryl sulfate and gluten  
💜 Can be used on all skin types  

I have a normal undereye area but my skin type on the rest of my face is oily. I have worn this concealer for up to 14 hours and it did not crease or look cakey on my undereye area. It stayed put all day on the high points of my face where I had used the concealer to highlight. I set all the areas where it was applied with a loose powder which did not interfere with the formula. The coverage is excellent and the product can be used for correcting, concealing, highlighting and contouring.  

The concealer comes in 30 shades and I have 8 in my kit: 

1. Fair (12S) – for fair skin with yellow undertones 
2. Light Sand (20S) – for light skin with yellow undertones 
3. Light Neutral (22N) – for light skin with neutral undertones 
4. Light Medium (29N) – for light to medium skin with neutral undertones 
5. Medium (35N) – for medium skin with neutral undertones 
6. Tan Sand (42S) – for tan skin with yellow undertones 
7. Deep (53N) – for deep skin with neutral undertones 
8. Rich (57N) – for deeper skin with neutral undertones  

These shades cover a range of skin tones and undertones and I am able to get a match for my clients by mixing these together.  

I use the shades ‘Medium’ to correct my undereye dark circles and ‘Light Neutral’ to conceal and highlight my undereye and the high points of my face.

My must-have haircare products. Details 👇🏻

What is your must-have hair product?

💕 Cleansing Purifying Scrub

A good hair scrub is one way of exfoliating the scalp and this is my favourite one! It lathers easily, deep cleans and hydrates. It is safe to use on coloured hair and is beneficial for those with dry skin, oily hair or dandruff. I use this once a week and it leaves my scalp and hair feeling clean and fresh.

💕 Deep Conditioning Mask

Hair masks are a great way of keeping the hair moisturised and nourished. They have a higher concentration of nutrients to help repair hair from deep within. This mask contains rosehip, sweet almond, argan oils and vitamin B5, and is excellent for those with dry, damaged or frizzy hair. It helps restore hydration and enhances shine and moisture. I use this instead of conditioner once a week.

💕 Thickefy Foam

I have fine hair and work this foam into my roots before blow drying after every wash. It creates thickness and volume without feeling heavy. It is a non-sticky, liquid to foam lightweight formula. It can be applied on damp or dry hair and leaves hair shiny and healthy. I wash my hair twice a week and this bottle lasts several months!

💕 Heat Protect Spray

This spray adds a protective layer to the hair to reduce the harmful effects of heat styling tools up to 230°C. It contains Keratin to seal in moisture and smoothen the outer layer of the hair. It also contains Marula oil to add softness and shine. I use this on damp hair before blow drying and on dry hair before heat styling.

💕 Texturising Volume Spray

This is my favourite texturising spray! It is a dry mist formula and helps build volume and height. I apply it at the roots and throughout the lengths for added texture. It lasts throughout the day and is easy to brush out.

💕 Keratin Smooth Shine Oil

This hair oil is similar to a serum and helps control frizz and tames fly-aways. It smooths hair to increase shine and softens each hair strand. It can be used on damp hair before blow drying or on dry hair after the use of heat styling tools.

I love wearing purple at this time of year!

The 9-pan palette contains earthy tones including warm browns, olives and unique golds which are great for the Autumn season. The shades in this travel-friendly palette are suitable for all skin tones and can be used to create looks for day or night. The matte shades are pigmented and blend out smoothly. The metallic shades provide intense shine. The shimmer topper contains finely-milled pearl particles which can be layered over the metallic shades to add an extra glow.

PRO MUA KIT. The Natural Radiant Longwear Foundation is one of Nars’ bestselling products. Details 👇🏻

💜 Medium, buildable coverage – does not look or feel heavy or cakey and blends nicely into the skin
💜 Breathable – lightweight consistency and non-drying formula 
💜 Natural, luminous finish  
💜 Stays true to colour  
💜 Free from parabens, alcohol, oil and fragrance            
💜 Great for normal and dry skin types 

I have oily skin and after a 6-hour wear time, the foundation started to break down on my T-zone even after properly prepping my skin and setting the foundation with powder. I would therefore not apply this foundation alone on oily skin types for a full-day wear time. However, I have mixed it with other mattifying foundations and found this worked well to give a more natural finish which lasted the whole day.  

The foundation comes in 34 shades and I have 5 in my kit: 

💜 Mont Blanc – for fair skin with neutral undertones 
💜 Punjab – for medium skin with yellow undertones  
💜 Barcelona – for medium to medium-deep skin with peach undertones 
💜 Caracas – for medium-deep to deep skin with peach undertones 
💜 Namibia – for deep skin with red undertones

These shades cover a range of skin tones and undertones and I am able to get a match for my clients by mixing these together.  

My shade is Fiji which is for light to medium skin with neutral undertones. For reference I am a NC17 in Mac Studio Fix Fluid Foundation.
