"I'm totally in love with 2nd love cosmetics!!! I came up with this look using the eyeshadow duo in Earth (cream color) as my highlighter.

 

Crease: I used the Starry Night duo and the black color from the solar duo.

Lid: I used the silver (wet) from the Solar duo. I found using the silver wet gave it more of a pop!

Black eyeliner gel as top and bottom liner, I also used it in my lower water line. The liner goes on so smoothly and very pigmented! I love that!!

 

Bronzer: Sun kissed - love how pigmented the bronzer is as well! It does exactly what it says, gives you a nice sun kissed look.

Blush: Amber - I'm in aww on how sheer it is! It's build able which I love! Most pink blushes can be too harsh and this is perfect!

Lips: Dusty Rose - It doesn't leave my lips feeling cakey - that's always a plus!

Pink 2nd love Lip Gloss - I used only a pea sized amount in the middle bottom lip to give the look more of a kick!

 

And there you have it! That sums up my look :)

Thank you so much 2nd love for all these amazing goodies!"

 

Nedda created such a flawless look! She's certainly a talented makeup artist and hair stylist. Thank you so much for sharing with us, Nedda!

Pretty Pointer of the Week #3:

When applying a bold lip color, make sure you apply a little blush because a bold lipstick worn with fair cheeks can wash you out.

Pretty Pointer of the Week #2:

Exfoliate your lips with sugar and honey: lips will appear softer, smoother and more nourished. Pucker up!

This week's beauty tip begins with your skin and we're sticking to basics.

Pretty Pointers of the Week #1

Proper skincare will take you a long way; hydrate with the right moisturizer for your skin. Most importantly, remove makeup and wash with a cleanser.

Each baked product from the collection emphasizes the capability to apply the makeup with a damp brush for a bolder concentrated shade. 2^nd Love’s baked eyeshadow duos feature a lighter shade for highlighting and a darker shade for contouring the eyes. The baked blushes help define and contour the cheek bone and to also add a rosy glow onto the cheeks. Lastly, 2nd Love’s baked bronzer line consists of 4 shimmery individual shades and when applied, separate or blended together, will provide your face and body with a radiant glow.

“This collection is my absolute favorite! We manufactured these baked products because we believe that it provides the makeup artist the best value and versatility. You can these baked products wet or dry so it’s up to the makeup artist,” said Terry Hsiao, 2^nd Love Cosmetics’ CEO.” Raymond Ching of 2^nd Love adds, “We continue to hear positive reviews of our Baked Makeup Collection. It really does put a smile on our faces when popular makeup artists prefer our products than more well known brands. Some customers have even made review videos stating that ‘this is the best blush I have ever owned.’” To see the latest Baked Makeup Collection, including the baked eyeshadows, baked blushes, and baked bronzers and other products by 2^nd Love, please visit 2^nd Love’s website.
