Whether you're a makeup newbie or a pro, remember  practice makes everyone perfect.
This post is going to ease your journey to a better blending life ( if you get the joke)
one of the important element for makeup is the application, no matter how much expensive your foundation or eye shadow is, if you don't use correct application then its not gonna show up. On the other hand correct techniques and equipment can even make a drugstore foundation look like high end brands.


Summing up to the vast field of application techniques,the revolutionary makeup world has witnessed the following as most common ways of application:
1. Using a sponge or beauty blender or puff

2. Using fingertips to hands

3. Makeup brushes from kabuki to tapering to flat brush, oval and a whole list

4. Lastly, all the weird things that can be used to get your job done from fidget spinner to condoms( seriously YT gurus has used them all)

VEGA MAKEUP BRUSH

In my own opinion this is the brand which I used when was new to makeup and since then they have remained the same. I sorted out my very own favorite basic 6 brushes which is enough to complete your basic makeup. This include:

1. Vega Foundation brush:



 It is great for blending your foundation, works best for gel and liquid foundation.

2. Vega Powder brush/blush brush:


This is mainly for using blush or bronzer but I find it more reasonable to use it as powder brush or both blush and powder.
3. Vega eye shadow (M) brush:

This is good for eye shadow application for blending. but apart from bending I personally love this because it can also be used as a tapered brush in case of using loose to glitter shadow.
4. Vega Angular blending brush:


This is one brush which can be used in so many different ways like I can exaggerate it all the way trust me, use it as a brow precise brush to draw your brows, or use it to conceal the areas around your eyebrows as the sharp angular shape will do your job so neatly.
Or you can use it to apply your contour shade precisely on small areas like nose or chin but not for blending it down keep that in mind. It can be used to apply eyeliner as the angular shape is perfect for creating the winged look.
Or you can use it to make the cut crease look by using concealer followed by eyeshadow to cut the crease portion once done with blending your shadow on lip according to you. Once you buy this and am sure you will find more ways to use this one in many use brush,and let me know what are the unique ways u have discover to use this all time favorite brush.
5. Vega eye liner brush:


This is useful in case of gel or liquid liner to draw very precisely. honestly for a beginner it will take some time but hold on you will get there. the reason why I have added this is because it is helpful to outline the eyes in a easiest way rather than other huge shaped brushes. to highlighting the inner corners or to line the lower lash for that natural look it is worth it.
6. Vega lip filler brush:

Now it is something not so part in makeup for beginners but I think it makes a difference. Okay. Whether stick lipstick or liquid we all go extra while trying to get that fuller lip appearance inspired from Angelina Jolie to Kylie Jenner and Kim Kardasian, but have you ever really thought about how it looks to others? Basically like you just ate a cup of melted chocolate with all of that smeared on your mouth and you have forgot to wipe your mouth.It happens with me too. So what I do is take some lipstick out on the brush and first line up lips till my real lip line and it gets easier for me to fill upto that marked area with that very own shade of lipstick. (makes sense?)
Now you can obviously use lip liner pencils and sticks for it, but hey this is a beginners post and beginners can't include everything in their bag at once. you gotta learn with that very little amount and be bomb.

These are widely available at;
Nykaa store and Nykaa online
Amazon.in
Purpelle
and any cosmetic store/counter near by you

PROs:

• cheap in price
• easily available at everywhere ( both online and offline)
• good quality
• non allergic
• a huge range of variation is available
• so basic in blending
• packaging is good
• brushes are clean as well as sleek looking

CONs:

• once you cross this beginners stage you will need more variation in your brushes which Vega doesn't have in the same range
• these brushes will need a good space so not travel friendly
• needs good cleaning after usage 

This is the 1st brand I would suggest for beginners but if you ask me for other alternatives then I would suggest you to try either Pac brushes or Pro Arte brushes only if you are willing to spend a bit more for something good enough.

Good luck for the beginning of your makeup journey everyone!

Everyday go-to 3 lipcreme under INR 200 ( Honest Review)

Its not even a typical review, rather something I always wanted to share about. Everyone needs a shade on their lips just to add the cheery to the pie.

Miss Claire is a brand which has one of the hyped soft matte lip creme range. If you are someone looking for matte lipstick but without the drying then go for this brand.or if you're someone trying the liquid lipstick as influenced by Huda Khatan, Kylie Jenner, and who on earth is not into liquid lipsticks, I would suggest Miss Claire in that case if you're unsure how it will turn out on you or you're on a budget(hey you need right products to look beautiful rather than just overpriced hyped items).

These are the 3 best shades that I personally selected from the brand Miss Claire.

37(blood red), 58( soft nude),10 (cherry red)

Lets start with the shade No.37, which is  matte blood red in color. Its apt for every skintone from light to medium to dark. A pop of this red can jazz up your everyday ottd to a kick start level.Red lips never go out of style (Taylor Swift)

Next is the shade No.58 which is matte pinkish nude in color. It is one of the common shade for my go to routine because its a perfect balance of pink and brown. It gives a subtle look. You can use it for your no makeup to light makeup days to timed when you don't wanna look over the top yet pretty by the lips. Its a great shade to pair up with a loud or vibrant or smokey eyes to balance up the whole look. You can wear it to college or casual outing or 1st date even. 

Last shade is in the the No.10 which is a dark cherry red in color. I have kept this for my experimental and rebel mood when i wanna go loud yet bit feminine. Its one gothic red color best with nude to peachy light eye or face makeup. Pair it up with your LBD to spice up your event without doing much.how about that?

Down below are the swatches of these 3 beautiful shades which is perfect for everyday on any skintone or undertone.

58(Bottom), 37(Middle),10(Top)

Honestly, I have been loyal to these soft matte lip creme on a daily basis. Why?
●Its smooth on application.
● It can be a dupe for body shop lip creme.
● It doesn't dry out my chappy lips but so matte.
●It stays upto 5 hours without any touch up (including meals, obviously try to feed your mouth not the lips).
●Its so affordable(its INR 195 can you believe).
●travel friendly packaging.
●long shelf life a.k.a not drying.


But one and only problem it carries all the way is its availability. Since its a polish cosmetic brand, you might not find it everywhere in counters or online. I would not recommend buying it online because the prices are double. If you're someone okay with that can get your shade from Amazon, purplle,shopclues and habbana.

I collect my miss claire products from counters for which it requires me to place a prepaid order. I will be blogging next about places where you can get miss claire exclusively in kolkata, Mumbai, delhi, chennai, Hyderabad, bangalore and Assam. Stay glued to know more about it.
