Secret Tips To Make The Foundation Stay On Longer

With Thanksgiving arriving on 25th November, you must be thinking about the makeup looks that you are going to create on your face canvas, but hey, who is going to think about the slip-and-slide? 

Honestly, every woman struggles with shifting foundation. It doesn’t matter if you are using the long-stay foundation, using the wrong application techniques will create chaos on your face. So, if you are ready to flaunt the best makeup look with a perfectly settled foundation, let’s check out the secrets to attain such results!

Use The Setting Spray 

Sure, we all spritz setting spray on the face when the makeup is done but does that do the trick? Nope!

The trick is to mix the foundation with your setting spray before you apply it to the face. This is a tried-and-technique, and the makeup artists literally swear by the results. So, pump out the foundation, spray some setting spray on it, mix, and apply!

Shave The Face 

If you are someone with facial hair, opting for dermaplaning is a long-term solution to achieve a smooth and hairless face. However, nobody got time for that when Thanksgivings is just around the corner. Well, as it turns out, you can spritz some rose water on your face and use a hair-wicking device to clear off the facial hair. Honestly, it will ensure that the foundation glides on perfectly!

Prime The Face

Every woman has bought the high-end primer to prime the face and create a porcelain canvas for applying makeup, but primers don’t always do the job, especially when you have to ensure the foundation doesn’t shift. Having that said, priming the face with setting sprays does wonders as it ensures a better foundation holder. In addition, it reduces the appearance of pores just like a primer while creating a healthier skin appearance. 

Use That Beauty Blender

Don’t we all just dab the foundation with fingers and glide away the brush? Well, it’s time to bid farewell to those techniques and opt for a beauty blender. That’s because a beauty blender ensures proper settling of the foundation. In fact, if you just soak the beauty blender in setting spray (just dampen it, babe), the results will be oh-so-amazing!

The Powder

If you are someone with oily skin who just can’t get the foundation to stay in place, the setting powder will do the trick to perfection. However, be mindful about how much powder you apply because too much will break the foundation and create cracks throughout the foundation. Even more, you can dab some powder on your face before applying the foundation, promising smooth foundation application! 

Always Moisturize 

We might be late in telling you this, but moisturized skin has a better capacity of holding the foundation as compared to dry and chapped skin. That being said, before you apply the setting spray and loose powder, add some moisturizer on the skin and create the baseline for the foundation. 

To summarize, if you are ready to flaunt an amazing foundation, follow these tips and you can even find the foundation and setting powder at discounted prices (Ola Julie Cosmetics is having the Black Friday sale on Friday, so get your shopping cart in order!).

Find The Perfect Lipsticks For Your Skin Tone – The Ultimate Guide

So, you took out our red lipstick but didn’t look as ravishing as Rihanna? As it turns out, you need to select the lipstick with extreme precision and considering your skin tone is one of the biggest concerns, ladies!

With hundreds of lipstick shades floating on the cosmetic shop’s shelves, it can be challenging to find the right one that complements your tone. So, if you are ready to narrow down the lipstick colors according to your skin tone, we have the ultimate guide for you!

Determining The Undertone Of The Skin 

It doesn’t matter if you have dusky skin or pale color, the undertones are categorized into three categories, including neutral, cool, and warm. Ladies with cool undertones have pink, red, and bluish tones, while warm undertones show yellow, peachy, and golden undertones. On the other hand, the neutral undertone has a combination of cool and warm undertones. 

Choosing Lipstick According To Your Undertone 

Honestly, there is no hard-and-fast rule of finding the perfect lipstick shade because you will need to experiment with a few to get the right one. However, being aware of the undertone really helps, so get some lipsticks and swatch them on the inside part of the art and see how they look against your skin. So, check out the following lipstick shades that you should try;

  • Warm Tones 

If you sport the yellow, golden, and peachy undertone, get your hands on the corresponding colors, such as terra cotta, brick red, and orangey-red because they complement these tones. In fact, Scarlet and Cherry Red Matte lipsticks from Ola Julie Cosmetics will be an apt fit!

  • Cool Tones 

When you have bluish and pink undertones on your skin, you need to opt for lipstick that has similar tones. For instance, you can opt for the Cherry Red matte lipstick from Ola Julie Cosmetics. In addition to this, you can opt for Lavender Field and Magenta.

  • Neutral Tones

If you have got a neutral undertone, you are extremely lucky because it complements a wide range of lipstick shades. In the case of fair skin, opt for pinky lipsticks, while women with medium skin should get a mauve color or nude colors (just get yourself a Kinky from Ola Julie Cosmetics). 

Guide To Choose The Darker Lipsticks 

The dark lipsticks look amazing on women of color. However, to choose the right dark and deep lipstick color, it’s essential to pay attention to your skin color. But ladies, wearing the deep lipstick color with gloss will add ultimate oomph and create an evening look. Not to forget, a bit of shimmer doesn’t hurt anyone. 

Guide To Choose The Nude Lipsticks 

If you haven’t been living under the rock, you would know that nude lipsticks are the ultimate beauty statement. Truth be told, there can be nothing more challenging than choosing the right nude shade because you don’t have to consider your skin tone – just focus on finding the nude shade that matches the natural lip color. 

So, are you ready to flaunt your pout, babe?

The ultimate Makeup Trends For Fall 2021


The weather is turning around, and in no time, we will be taking out those long coats, army boots, and fur jackets. However, what are you gonna do about the makeup, babe? Sure, you are going to wear the mask, but this fall has some amazing makeup trends in store that will push you to make those amazing strokes on your face. Ranging from bold and bright to soft and pastels, fall 2021 has something for everyone, and we are here to explain it all. So, are you ready to dive into your makeup vanity, ladies?

Semi-Matte & Natural Skin 

Winters and fall season have always been about matte makeup – sure, some people played with dewy makeup, but this season, both arenas will be combined. Ever since COVID-19, everyone has started minimal makeup, which means semi-matte and natural skin is everything you need to flaunt your makeup game. Remember, ladies, you will need to let go of the high-coverage foundation, concealer, highlighters, and powder. Not to forget, it looks luxurious and chic, so do we agree that less is more this season?

Colored Eyeliner 

The colored eyeliners have been around for quite some time but weren’t we all too scared to let go of the black eyeliner? Well, this fall season, you need to let that go and spruce up the makeup game with colored eyeliner. Personally, we love colored eyeliners because when the entire face is covered with a face mask, why can’t we play with some colors for the eyes? 

Flushed Look 

Creating a flushed look with enhancing tones and complementary strokes is all you need to show off healthy skin. That being said, the flushed and healthy skin with some matte and cream makeup is everything for fall season. In fact, you can use cream concealers and ultra-defining mascara to add some pop to your face while keeping it flushed. 

Smoldering Eyes 

We had to pack away the black and smoky eyeshades due to summer, but the 90s beauty is making a comeback. This winter, you can create smoky smoldering eyes with brown and black tones – it will create the perfect sexy and mysterious eye look. If you have a fair-toned person, opt for gray and brown tones while ladies with dusky skin can opt for black and deep browns (yup, burgundy is also pretty good, awesome choice!). In fact, the marigold orange eye palette will be a perfect option for your smoky eyes needs!

The Brown Look 

We are sure your winter wardrobe is all about brown and skin long coats and boots of the same color, so why don’t you add some brown to the makeup? In simpler words, create your makeup look with brown lips and brown eyeshades (it’s flattering for everyone and looks oh-so-chic!). But hey, don’t forget to add some pink blush to look fresh!

Kitten, Baby!

It doesn’t matter if you are a cat lady or not; you gotta make room for kitten eyeliner this fall season. It adds a sexy lift to your makeup look while keeping it natural – what more could you need?  So, if you don’t like a dramatic wing, this is the real eyeliner game that you need to follow!

Glossy Lips

If you aren’t reading under the cards, let us tell you that 2000s makeup trends are coming back, which means you can finally play with the glossy lips (we almost forgot, lip liners will also come back). So, use a combination of lip liner and lip gloss to add a full appearance. To apply the lip gloss, add some to the center of lips and at the cupid’s bow to create a fuller pout. 

Add Some Vibrancy 

If you are into colors, add some pop of color to your makeup look by adding pink blush on the cheeks or playing with blue eyeshade. But ladies, don’t stick to rules and never hesitate to experiment with colors. That being said, colors hold power to make you feel optimistic, and it’s time to add a vibrant element to the makeup look!

Lip Stains 

As the fall season is coming up, you can get back to your favorite lipsticks rather than a lip balm (didn’t we all use balms the entire summer?). Ranging from deep maroon to fresh pinks, everything will go fine on your lips. Also, if you opt for lip stains, you can drink that hot chocolate without worrying about ruining the lipstick!
