Beauty File: Nini’s Style
I’ve gotten many emails from Nini’s Style readers asking me about the details of my beauty routine and I thought it would be a great idea to share all my favorite beauty products with you. I used to be really into make-up and skin care. I’ve tried every product out there and these are the products that I use every single day. Just like clothing, some high-end products are the best while other are from the drug store but work magically.
Facewash: I have normal to oily skin, so I do have a few break-outs here and there. My dermatologist recommend that I use Cetaphil face wash as the hands down best product as far as face wash is concerned. It really keeps my skin calm and I can’t survive without it.
Foundation: MAC Studio Fix Powder Foundation is the best powder foundation I have ever tried. I have tried Serge Lutens, La Prairie, Chanel, and many more and I had not found a perfect one that I was satisfied with until this product. The Mac Studio Fix gives me enough coverage for going out at night without looking like I have tons of make up on. It’s flawless and I’m always ready for the camera. For daily basics, I don’t wear much make up but I do use Mac Mineral Foundation and it’s perfect to put on and go. I use my foundation brush to put it on.
Blush: I mix Nars & Mac together.
Eyeliner: I use both liner and liquid. My liquid liner is made by Revlon and I use it for my upper lid. It’s the BEST! For my lower lid I use Mac Kohl pencil. It’s perfect for smokey eyes.
Perfume: I don’t wear it very much but Clair de Musc by Serge Lutens is what I wear when I go out for dinner or to a party.
Eye Cream: For night time I use Revive and day time I use Neutrogena Ageless Intensives eye cream and I’m really happy with it. It’s $13.99 and it works just like a $150 eye cream. I strongly recommend it to you all!
I love collecting lipsticks. The one that I have been using lately is Mac’s Morange lipstick and Christian Dior’s ultra gloss glow #236
My basic eyeshadow that I wear almost everyday by Mac. The light color is Wedge and the brown shade is Brun. They’re perfect eyebrow and smokey eyes.

I love these tips (That eye cream is definitely on my list now…)
Happy Vday!

Definitely agree with you on the MAC studio fix! I use it as well religiously and it works like a dream. Cetaphil however, I found to be too weak for my skin’s needs.

for your eye-makeup, do you mostly use that nars brush or chanel#12?
(i’m trying to figure out my brush needs, #2 or #12)
Hey I use Cetaphil too! But I use it as a makeup remover…
