I was asked so many times on #AskAMW DM what's the difference between and damp sponge and dry sponge! 

Finally, shared it on video the difference with demo how a foundation would look if you applied it WET or DRY.

Make Up For Ever's First Masterclass with Leo Posadas

For someone who is already a Professional Make Up Artist and have been doing makeup and skincare trainings in various companies, I believe learnings should NEVER STOP!  There's always room for more tips and tricks and when I got an invite from one of my favorite professional makeup brand Make Up For Ever to attend their first Masterclass with THE LEO POSADAS, I had to do my best to move my schedule around! 

Traffic was crazy but it was all worth it!  And because I love my AMW Friends, here I took notes and will share to you the tips I learned from the Master!

Are you excited?

Leo Posadas is a Bridal and Celebrity Make Up Artist, known for his clean and natural-looking makeup, Leo is unsurprisingly booked on most weekends for his lovely brides!  Aside from that, he is also a trusted name TVCs.

Leo is such a charmer, though the media/bloggers were mostly quiet (as we are all into serious learning!)  he was able to inject funny anecdotes making sure the crowd won't get bored!

For the #MakeUpForeverPH #Masterclass , the brand also launched their newest #Reboot Foundation and it was highlighted during the workshop as well!

Clean Face
A clean canvass for flawless makeup is a must!  Make Up For Ever's Mist & Fix was used on top of a cleansed face and blend with a sponge.

Leo preppped the model's skin with Make Up For Ever's Ultra HD Skin Booster.  He applied at the heart shape of the face which I find quite unique.

La Doctress Cloud Blusher Thoughts #AMWIGtv

I was sent 4 shades of La Doctress and I immediately tested them out on my IG TV! 

These are manufactured in Thailand and I was reminded immediately by the famous Glossier Cloud Paint. 

After first try, I immediately spot the difference!  These are different from Glossier and they have their own character.  They are called Clay Blush for a reason!  Watch my raw thoughts and reactions by clicking link below!

Mineral Fusion Liquid Mineral Eyeliner in Valley Review

I haven't used liquid eyeliner in gazillion years!

Well, that's how I felt as I have been super comfortable going out without eyeliner lately - start of 2019 to be exact...or shall I say, when I start going to the gym and realized I love going around without makeup?  Or tamad na lang ako? hahaha

But truth be told, the liquid eyeliners I have been using on rotation are --- K-Palette and Kate.

If you checked out both reviews, they are the pen-type liquid liner!  For me, it is the easiest liquid liner packaging and most convenient to use since the brush is flexible and has a sharp tip which are the 2 ingredients to a nice winged liner recipe!

Then I saw Mineral Fusion makeup at Healthy Options and I was intrigued with their Liquid Eyeliner.

But before that, I did a little research about the brand and learned that this cosmetics brand was established in 2006 and prides in creating products that are Leaping Bunny-certified (not tested on animals meaning cruelty-free!).  Eco-friendly and free of gluten, parabens, SLS, phthalates, artificial colors and synthetic fragrances and are 100% vegetarian and most are 100% Vegan.

So if you are the type who have allergic reactions on all sorts of makeup brands you've encountered, you may want to check Mineral Fusion out!
