Make Up Levels (English Version)

Methodic as I am, I elaborated a kind of classification, long time ago, to organize make up types. However, those “rules” can be broken – all may vary according personal taste.

But remember: never be afraid of daring!

* More simple, for daily (specially something which fortifies, has vitamins etc).

** More exuberant, which makes your eyes pop – and this is not a matter of price. Believe it or not, my Lancôme, Max Factor, YSL and Shiseido mascaras can’t be better than Up Lifting, by Avon, simply the best mascara in the world, in my opinion!

  1. olá! adorei as dicas! sugiro um rímel no nível 0 ( pode substituir o lápis), mas é só uma sugestão...

  2. Oi, querida! Muito obrigada por sua visita e comentário! De fato, é uma ótima substituição - como falei, tudo pode variar, conforme o gosto pessoal. Como tenhos olhos grandes e cílios igualmente grandes, prefiro só o lápis preto pra deixar eles mais "misteriosos"... hehehehe... Beijos!!!
