    I was invited to discover the new @diormakeup #Dio I was invited to discover the new @diormakeup #DiorForever Foundation in a virtual Masterclass hosted by the International Proteam Makeup artist for Dior, @emmanuelle_diorpro - I had already swatched the foundation at the Dior counter in Sandton 2 weeks before the event, and purchased a bottle (I'm a 3W in the Natural Nude) so I had an opportunity to wear the foundation and experience the adjustment to my skin both indoors and while out. I already felt familiar with the product by the time I attended the Masterclass and felt confident to share the visible difference that I felt it's had on my skin. - During the Masterclass, we learnt how to apply products using just 2 brushes (11 and 14). Here is a breakdown of what we did: 1. First apply Forever Skin Veil SPF20 Primer (which acts as a protector, illuminator and correction cream). It's very light and immediately seeps into the skin. 2. Applying foundation: Foundation should be applied lightly by holding the brush in the middle to achieve a light hand when applying. I have used both my large fluffy Dior brush (14) and my beauty blender and I personally feel the latter gives me a more flawless finish. 3. Applying Concealer: We tested the Forever Skin Correct creamy concealer under our eye. Pro Tip: don't smooth it all the way, just where the dark spots are. 4. Continue to further improve the overall appearance of your makeup by dabbing on the ultra-luxurious Cushion powder which is a loose powder that sets the foundation. 5. Finally, apply the Perfect Fix to set, refresh and hydrate your skin. This setting spray is a long wear Mist which may be applied over makeup or bare skin through the day. - It's been 3 days since I've attended the Masterclass and I've had an opportunity to do my own makeup with the tips and products learnt at the class. I consider myself a novice at applying makeup, yet I've managed to achieve a very youthful, even-toned application using my 4 new products. - I'll discuss them in more detail on my stories and look out for a GRWM. - #DiorForever #DiorSisterhood #NaqiyahEducation Series on MU Application

Even if it's just to look cute to go to the grocers - lol - - And if Instagram is anything to go by, best believe that my readers probably own about 473 makeup products as well. - Makeup is an escape for many of us. Even though we need to mask when we're out, the new basic face has filled in brows and lashes with eye makeup being simple but expressive. - I'd like to introduce you to a concept I've been planning in my head for some time.

    We've come to the last recipe in the #NaqiyahBakes We've come to the last recipe in the #NaqiyahBakes Series. When I created the first series on Baking Biscuits, it was after I had learnt (properly) how to bake biscuits myself. I was always intimidated by the size of my biscuits, it's shape and oven-temperature; it all seemed daunting at the time because having biscuits in my home meant calling Razeena or Aunty Asfeyah for our weekly jar! - Learning how to bake biscuits became a skill that I learnt during Lockdown and along with the level of knowledge that came with baking my own biscuits, I also found myself having more gratitude towards baking in general and the connection between food production and the consumer. - One of my better home-bakes are these Cornflake biscuits which are just satisfying dipped into tea in the light of the early morning sun. They don't require any special shaping making them easy for the beginner baker. - Cornflake biscuits 250g butter Half a cup of castor sugar 30ml oil 2 cups flour 1 tsp baking powder Half a cup coarse desiccated coconut 1 cup coarsely crushed cornflakes Half a cup of museli or seed mix 1 tsp each vanilla essence and caramel essence - Set oven to 160 degrees. - Beat the butter well and add sugar. Beat well and add oil. - Then add the essences. Mix well and add the flour and mix well. Fold in coconut and cornflakes, museli or seeds. Do not beat it in. Needs texture. - Make into small balls or use a tiny ice cream scoop to shape. Bake for 10 to 15 minutes until biscuits are light golden brown. - #NaqiyahBakes
    You're likely making your way through the last bit You're likely making your way through the last bit of the left-overs from Eid baking. The weather's cooling up which signal dippers for coffee or tea. - Here are 2 recipes that I encourage you to save. If you've never attempted Rusks before, these are pretty straight-forward. There's always something for everyone here; a Cumin Rusk or Aniseed (the latter being my favourite). Recipe for Aniseed Rusks in comments. - Jeera rusks (Recipe 1) In a jug, mix 2 tbsp white sugar with a quarter cup of powdered milk. - And half a cup of warm water and leave aside. - Sift together 2 cup cake flour 1 tsp salt Half a tbsp yeast. - Make the dough with the sugar/water liquid mix. You might need more warm water to create a soft dough, however not exceeding three quarters of a cup in total liquid. - Mix your dough until it all comes together. Leave aside in a warm place for 30 min. Now add a quarter cup of melted butter with 2 tbsp sugar + 1 tbsp coarse crushed jeera/cumin. - Dough this well. It may be done in your stand mixer. - Measure out 2 balls of dough and it should measure 500g. - Take 1 ball and roll slightly bigger than a size plate. - Roll like a Swiss roll. - Tuck the edges in. - Place on baking paper to rise in a warm place for an hour. - Set your oven to 160 degrees. - Bake for +/- 30 min until your rolls sound hollow. - Remove and cool completely. Slice the rolls and set on to your baking paper. Dry them out in your oven at 100 degrees. Turn them at intervals. Remove only when they are crisp and dry. They should be a lovely biscuit colour. #NaqiyahBakes
