I love wearing makeup and when I came across this product I was super excited for more than one reason. When I wear powder, my nose seems to get shiny throughout the day. This product changes that! Skindinavia’s Makeup Finishing Spray is an amazing product for more than one reason.
  • Fewer touchups throughout the day.
  • Stops makeup meltdown.
  • Holds eye shadow, foundation, blush, and concealer perfectly.
You simply apply your makeup, shake and spray! It works better when you apply before you put on your mascara.
 The Original Makeup Finishing Spray holds your makeup in place! I know when I get sweaty, my makeup runs. WELL with this product, it wont!! I love it!! Each spray uses Temperature Control Technology® which prevents makeup from melting, drying out, becoming shiny, or creasing.
BUY IT: You can buy  The Original Makeup Finishing Sprayin 2oz $19.00, 4oz $29.00 and 8oz $39.00.

I was not paid in any form to review the above said product. All thoughts are my own.

Matiffy! Cosmetics has to be one of the many best that I have came across. I will tell you why. I had the chance to review it myself.
I received :

-Mattify! Tinted Powder - Makeup for Oily Skin for FAIR / MEDIUM Skin

-Eye Shadow Brush / Smudge Brush

-Twilight Eyeshadow

-Mysterious Aurora Eyeshadow

-Irish Eyes Eyeshadow

-Baby Kabuki Brush

 I cannot help but to share a close up from the website of the Eyeshadow colors. These eye shadows are awesome!
The Mysterious Aurora Long Lasting Eyeshadow-
Irish Eyes Long Lasting Eyeshadow-
Twilight Long Lasting Eye Shadow-
There are 3 other different uses for them as well!
-To create Eye Liner: Dip a skinny applicator into water and blot away excess with a tissue. Dip applicator into Mattify! Eye Shadow, and again, tap away excess.  The powder shadow will instantly liquefy, allowing you to use it as a liquid eye liner.

-To create Lip Gloss:Dispense a small amount of Mattify! Eye Shadow onto a thick piece of paper. Remove lip gloss wand from container, and dab into the eye shadow. Brush onto lips until desired color opacity is achieved. Alternately, you can add eye shadow directly to your lip gloss dispenser & mix with the wand.

-To create Nail Polish: Dispense a small amount of Mattify! Eye Shadow onto a thick piece of paper. Take the brush out of the jar of nail polish, and dab into the eye shadow. Brush onto nail until color completely covers the nail.  Allow to dry and apply a clear or glittery top coat.


Now a little about the Tinted Powder! Mattify! Powder for oily skin can also be used as an eye shadow primer to prevent creasing and smudging.  Just dust it on with a powder brush or powder puff before shadow application for longer lasting eye makeup.  Scroll down to see Mattify! Eye Shadow Application tips.

What are the dimensions for my Page's cover photo?
Cover photos are 851 pixels wide and 315 pixels tall. If you upload an image that's smaller than these dimensions, it will get stretched to this larger size. The image you upload must be at least 399 pixels wide.
I am using Corel PaintShop Pro X4 Ultimate for this tutorial.  I highly recommend making one that is 851 wide. BUT remember your picture is on the left corner and will cover a part of the photo so you might want to make your wording or whatever you choose, centered!
I am going to make a basic cover photo to begin with. This will be a fast fix and easy for everyone. 
  • Step 1. :Open your program.
  • Step 2 : Click the document in the left corner and make your width 851 pixels and your height 315 pixels. Check transparent at the bottom ,then click ok.
  • Step 3: What color do you want your background? Go over to the right,  choose a color that you want in the Materials.
  • Step 4: fill in your background with the flood tool over on the right. Then click the text tool. ( THE T)
  • Step 5:We are going to choose the color that you want your font to be. Click the bottom color on the right. Now choose your color and make the color on the top transparent by clicking on the far right. ( it is highlighted on the picture below)

Step 5 CONT. Now We are going to choose what font that you want your wording to be! Click the photo and go up to font and click font name. Choose what you want as well as the size of the font that you want. If it is too big or too small you can change that.
  • Step 6: Start typing your wording! When you are finished click the check mark above.
  • Step 7: Now we are going to make your font POP. Kinda like a sticker! GO up to selections then select all.
  • REPEAT again by clicking selections BUT THIS TIME click FLOAT at the bottom! Your font should look like this:

  • Step 8: Now we are going to make the font "sticker" like. Go up to the top and click layer then new raster layer. Now click ok.
Now drag your layers on the right. Make the raster layer above the background, then the floating selection and Vector 1 should be on the top.
  • Step 9 : Go up to selections, modify then expand.
    Make number or pixels 2 ( or 3) and click ok.
  • Step 10: Now your font should look like pictured above. Now we are going to fill the background. Click white color over on the materials. Make another raster later. Click the raster layer you made over on the right. REFER TO STEP 8 for this. Now fill in the layer. This layer should be below everything. The only thing below it should be your background color.

Fill the background with the flood fill tool. Your font should look like this below.
  • Step 11:We are now going to add a drop shadow to your font. Go up to Effects, 3D effects and Drop Shadow. 
Your offset vertical needs to be at 2, horizontal 1. Opacity needs to be 32, Blur a 5. I pick black for my background but you can change these settings to your liking as well.
 NOW YOU ARE DONE!!! Save it to your computer :)
