• Translucent loose setting Powder – This is a clear powder that sets your foundation and concealer without altering any of the colour, if it does contain silica it might cause flashback so I use the YARDLEY ABSOLUTE TRANDSLUCENT POWDER, and it works for any skin type and like a dream.
• Pigmented loose setting powder – This is a loose setting powder with a tint, with this powder you may chose the colour that suits your skin tone, this is an everyday powder and you can even use it as a powder foundation if applied correctly.
• Translucent pressed powder – This is the same as translucent loose powder just compressed and it doesn’t mess as much. Also, the molecules are a bit finer so it can be used to set best under the eyes and highlight points
• Pigmented pressed powder – This is the same as pigmented loose powder, although it used more as eyeshadows and bronzers as well.
• Bronzing powder – So your foundation is your first layer, which you even out your skin, bronzer is then used to warm up the face and give it a bit more dimension.

• I can definitely tell you why I use it, I use it especially with liquid foundations to set it, especially in summer, your foundation is not like glue so it wont stay on after it dries, it might slide around your face, there fore making your makeup look blotchy and uneven I don’t think any body wants that.
• Also, it sets cream products very well, and it makes your makeup last longer through out the day.
• It makes your makeup look seamless
• It allows the rest of your powder products you put over be more vibrant, pigmented and extends your makeup wear over all.

• I use powder to set my foundation and concealer
• I use powder to bake my highlight if I am going for a sculpted look
• I use powder to bronze my face after I’ve set my makeup

• Do not use any liquid products over your powder, it might make take it off or even cause your powder to clump up.
• Do not use too much powder or else your face might have too much access you won’t be able to get off, or you might end up looking like a ghost.
• Do not bake with pressed powders they will cause creasing; it is made to set only.
• Do not use a loose powder as eyeshadow you will have a lot of fallout. 

• You can use powder with a damp makeup sponge
• You can use translucent powder to set your concealer under your brow bone and on your eyelid
• You can use Bronzer as an eyeshadow
• You can even use yellow powders under your eyes to brighten it up.

Good Day my Loves and happy WEDNESDAY

Today we review the WET N WILD FACE Collection and I cannot be more excited.



I hope you are all doing well and that no matter what, please remember how brave, kind and honourable you are. NEVER let anyone or anything get in your way of being the best version of yourself you can be, also don't let anyone tell you who you are or who you should be!!!




So as you know I am very fussy and meticulous when it comes to a good foundation, there's so many different reasons we as woman wear it. I wear for my skin to seem a bit more even as it is, while still allowing my natural features to peak through like my beauty spots and freckles, then I also want days where my face is completely matte with full coverage and a hint of OLD school glam.

SO if you have seen my posts on social media you would see this look all over it, I created the look for my Close Friend Kariens wedding and it went off like a freaking bomb, I used all 3 Matte shades then blended the bottom two burgundy shades and then took the lighted shade and added it to my lid and then I took the GLITTER or ALLLLL GLITTERS and I put it in my tear duct. YUP!!!!

For all my other face details please head to my Instagram @takkiesandtulips.


OVER ALL I love Christmas and I loved that this was an early Christmas gift to myself so far I am not disappointed with my purchase, and I hope it will inspire you to maybe make your own new looks using colours you have never tried before.

HAPPY WEDNESDAY LADIES and hers to every wednesday of February being our new meeting Spot.

Til next week

ALL MY LOVE

1. Pore minimizing - It will not magically shrink your pores but it will minimize the look or your pores by filling them in and smoothing out the surface of your skin
2. Brightening – it will give your skin a brightening effect, the formula is designed to remove the dullness from your skin and will keep your skin from looking dull and flushed to rosy and bright.
3. Sweat proof, blurring and SPF approved – this kind of primer is designed to extend makeup wear for a longer period of time, its created so that when you apply your face makeup to stay on and not stray. Also provides extra protection for when you sweat on those hot summer days and yes you can sunburn with makeup on and an SPF is perfect especially for day events. (Be careful wearing SPF at night if your taking pictures with a flash, it will create flashback).
4. Primer Spray – Rose water is one great primer alternative and its so affordable, you just put it in a tight spray bottle and apply to your naked skin as you would your setting spray. It creates a tacky finish which also allows your makeup to dry a bit faster when applied. There is also a bunch of other prime sprays that do as well offer the same benefits and so far, I hear nothing but good things because they are so hydrating as well.

1. LA Girl Pro PREP HD Smoothing face Primer – It retails for R69.00 and it’s my one top favourite
2. ESSENCE – Beauty angels colour correcting & You better work Gym Proof Primer – Both retail from R60 – R80.00 I use them together and apart
3. ROSE WATER – Natures nourishment plain rose water can be used as a toner as well

1. LA GIRL PRO CONCEALER – R69.00 EACH
2. ESSENSE BLUR STICK – R45.00
3. ESSENCE COMPACT CONCEALER – R65.00 FOR (3-5 SHADES)
4. WET N WILD CONCEALER – R45.00 I BOUGHT IT ON SPECIAL AT CLICKS
