MALE SKINCARE & MAKEUP . I worked with the Legend himself Oscar Kightley during the week and did some quick skincare before we did makeup 💁🏽‍♂️ . We worked some real nice products through the skin to hydrate lightly and wakeup the skin before makeup 😎 . We used a Mattifying Moisturiser and Primer as a base after basic skincare . I hadn't done TV for a few years but I remembered how fun it was 📺 . ✳ SKINCARE USED BELOW ✳ . Head Mattifying @sephoranz Mattifying Lotion and @benefitnz Porefessional Primer .

After years and years of using @esteelaudernz Doublewear and @maccosmetics pro long wear I decided to stock some new bases in my kit 😍 . After seeing flawless bases from a fellow artist using @narsissist sheer glow, I had to see what all the fuss is about 🤔 . I'm impressed so far from the pay off and will still need to see the different ways it layers with different skincare 🧖🏽‍♀️ .

For the month of March coming up we will be testing this beautiful @goodmolecules skin care range that was sent to us by @beautylish 😘 . Ive heard good things about this brand so far, I love that they are free from silicone, mineral oils, fragrances, alcohols and PEGS, plus they also dont test on animals ❤ . When I get packages like these I split them into 2 parts, half for me and half for my testing kit 😎 . Whats my testing kit you ask ? 🤔 . It is a collection of goodies Ive either purchased or given as gifts 🎁 . Who do I test them on you ask ? 🤨 . I test them on both myself to know what it feels like to wear and also on a selection on people who volunteer their time 😘 . Once they prove to layer well or give a good result to the skin without makeup or layered under makeup, then I'll pop it into the kit 😍 . Will review at the end of March . . . . . . #makeupartist #makeup #makeupartistlife #nzmakeupartist #nzmua #nzmakeup #aucklandmakeup #aucklandmua #aucklandmakeupartist #lovewhatyoudo #mua #lifeofamakeupartist #freelancers #tbcmakeup #beautyblogger #nzbeautyblogger #nzbeauty #nzblogger #hotgirlsummer #skincare #nzskincare #naturalskincare #goodmolecules #beautylish (at The Black Cat - Make Up Artist Justin Konakova) https://www.instagram.com/p/B8uhhInnD5X/?igshid=icx5r3m4qsjb

SLEEPING MASKS REVIEW 😴 . I'd never tried a sleeping mask before, when I was approached by @lissombeauty to try this product, initially I was a little apprehensive when trying it however its left me with an appreciation for sleeping masks . Specially as Im really weary of what I put on my face as sleeping is the time when the skin rejuvenates itself from the inside out ( Plus I sleep like an animal ) and I was scared I would rub it off 😂 . I tried it for 3 weeks as I wanted the product to fully get a good chance to take effect . After a good cleanse at night I used this prior to hoping in bed on clean skin, a little goes a long way ( pea size ) , just apply it like a moisturiser and let it dry off then hit the sack . When I woke up I was very suprised, my skin felt very tight and and my pores beside my nose were noticeably smaller, I didnt feel dry either . I followed with my normal shower and skincare routine and I am very impressed on how easy the process was . Also sometimes when I have less sleep I get puffy in the morning but this really helped during those insomnia times . Im definetly going to keep using it . TIP: If you only have a few hours of sleep as youve gone to bed and woken early, drink a glass of water, put this on and you wont wake up puffy or exhausted . My Rating 8.5/10 . . . #makeupartist #makeup #makeupartistlife #nzmakeupartist #nzmua #nzmakeup #aucklandmakeup #aucklandmua #aucklandmakeupartist #lovewhatyoudo #mua #lifeofamakeupartist #freelancers #tbcmakeup #beautyblogger #nzbeautyblogger #nzbeauty #nzblogger #hotgirlsummer #nzbusiness #lissombeauty #lissom #skincare #nzskincare #naturalskincare (at The Black Cat - Make Up Artist Justin Konakova) https://www.instagram.com/p/B4tl1mXnrrZ/?igshid=vzajfzuzkw0s

🔥SUMMER EYE CREAMS🔥 . So Ive been trialling this baby for the month of October and finally had the time to be able to review . For me I believe to get results from an eye cream you at least need a good 2 week to see the product is working ( For me anyway ) 🕰 . Rule of thumb I always use is that Coffee Effect 🤔 . Explanation: Coffee always works at first, the effect is instant but once it wears off, thats when the real results emerge ⛾ . Anyways I split this baby into 2 and put half for myself and half in the kit for 🌹 . For me I liked the way it hydrated instantly, my undereyes literally drank the stuff and after it dries off it leave a tightening effect, it also delivers on the brightening as my dark circles have lightened . For the kit it layered well under makeup especially under double wear, it also didnt separate the foundation and also acted as a light priming of the eye when it dries off for cream to matte shadows . It also is ideal for mature skin or really dry under eyes . I even gave a small sample for a client as she loved the tightening effect, the only thing I didnt use was the applicator as Im always in a rush when getting ready . My rating 8.5/10 . . . . . . . . #makeupartist #makeup #makeupartistlife #nzmakeupartist #nzmua #nzmakeup #aucklandmakeup #aucklandmua #aucklandmakeupartist #lovewhatyoudo #mua #lifeofamakeupartist #freelancers #tbcmakeup #beautyblogger #nzbeautyblogger #nzbeauty #nzblogger #hotgirlsummer #makeupbrushes #muabrushes #nzbusiness #lissombeauty #lissom (at The Black Cat - Make Up Artist Justin Konakova) https://www.instagram.com/p/B4ggHmunXFW/?igshid=51pa4k0j4ohb
