Our bellabox Asia Beauty Editor Becks is here to show you how to use some of the amazing theBalm products to their full advantage! Becks has used them to create the ultimate manizer look. It's time to fall in love with theBalm.
I tried 3 theBalm makeup items from our bb shop stash -
After prepping the face, I started with theBalm Cosmetics Nude 'Tude Eyeshadow Palette. Containing 12 nude, earthy and metallic shadow shades, this understated palette definitely rivals the much sought-after Urban Decay Naked Eyeshadow Palette. With its 12 different shades and tones, you can definitely go from soft and sweet to wild and sexy just by blending and layering. It also comes with angle brushes of 2 different sizes on both ends!
For my eyeshadow look, I use Serious to line very closely to my upper lash line, using my fingers to lift the lids up so that I can create just a thin layer of this dark shade. Then I use Seductive and generously brush it over my lid. Finally, I use Sexy to gently line the second half of my crease, stretching it outwards for a soft winged look. I also use Seductive to line my lower lash line and tear duct to make my eyes look bigger and brighter.
Long-lasting, streak- and fade-free, theBalm How 'Bout Them Apples? Lip & Cheek Cream is my ultimate favourite pick! With 6 different shades that are fresh and suitable for a wide range of skin tones, it is exclusively designed with a cream base and a smooth finish. Some of you will have received a sample of this in our July bellabox.
In all honesty, I've never used cheek creams before as I find them difficult to control. Boy, how wrong I was. Its creamy texture tricked me into thinking that application is going to be really sticky and uncomfortable. I cautiously dab my cheek with the colour and nearly suffered a heart attack with its intense pigments! Eek, am I really going to look like an... apple? But lo' and behold! Upon application, it magically transforms into a powder-like texture that is very easy to manipulate!
And the queen of all Manizer look? A kickass red lipstick, duh! I use theBalm Cosmetics Girls Mia Moore Lip Stick to seal the deal. Sexily coloured and moisturising with a cooling effect upon application, this is a Bond girl-worthy lipstick. Sleek, silver and very portable, this is the sidekick for every manizer.
It's Balm, James Balm. (Pun intended. Sorry not sorry.)
Finally, give your best Manizer look and you're set for seduction! (I'm sure you can do better than me!) Just 3 easy steps to score the Manizer look, plus endless other looks in between! Excited about theBalm? Check out more of their amazing products in the bellabox store!
