So this was supposed to be a clean, minimalist look.. but i OD'd on mascara.. so i changed the concept.. haha

lets start from the beginning.. no makeup face..

hehehe.. if you'd notice.. my skin is improving... hurrah! hurrah!

and then some bb...

i'm using the skin79 gold vip bb.. i love it ^^

ta-da~

then the cheeks.. i didn't put the powder yet... i am using etude house peach cheek duo shimmery thing..

its so shimmery..

hehehe

and then... i put the powder...

ass you can see.. the shimmer still comes thru.. so that's why i put the blush first..

and then.. as if that isn't shimmery enough... i take this light shimmery colour from my coffret d'or eye pallete.. and put it on the bridge of my nose.. apples of my cheeks.. etc..

lala lalala...

eye makeup time.. i just use the silver one again.. the second from the left..

hehehe...

weird arse face...

put on the ower lids too with a thin brush..

la dee dah

line the upper lids lightly.. if you can tightline.. DO IT!

and then smudge the line..

another weird arse pic...

i then put the mascara base on.... which i think i put too much of... haha

and then the mascara... which i think i put too much of too..coz i ended up with fake looking lashes..

i'm just gonna pretend that i did it deliberately...

do the same with the lower lashes.. so it's like super open... O_O

ON TO THE LIPS...

these are the product highlight of the show:

Etude house dear darling lipstick and etude house VIP girl lipstick base..

so u put on ur lipstick base so the lipstick will have a more solid color and smoother application..

i always experience that before my lips dictate how my lipstick would look.. but with this base on.. it would only look how it should look.. the exact colour on the tube.. ^^ if that makes sense..

it erased the colour on my lips..

so its this really bright candy pink.. i think it PK-002

swatched..

super shiny face.. haha

ain't this lippie cute?

some more shininess... lip plumper.. etude house woo baby

Finito~

super shiny face... haha

Rooooooar~~~

Ang~~

See you next time ^^

Random Makeover Night

Labels: before and after | at 2:38 AM

So last night Reby and I had a random hang out at my bird's nest of a room by the bridge...

She just wanted to get her nails done but I also saw it as the perfect opportunity to give her the smoky eye she's been wanting since forever... (and she's not going anywhere at this point)

So here's her BEFORE photo

and then her AFTER

For Reby I used the same Kate Palette i used in my previous post.. but only used the darkest shade.. and I used a bunch of shades from the Coastal Scents 88 Shimmer Palette...

I did makeup on Pam too!

Sadly I don't really have a before picture of her...

Oh wait.. everyday is her before face... ^^

So that's pam over a bowl of the yummiest lomi in town (Pot and Noodle House)

Wahahahaha... Fun! Fun! Fun!

For Pam's eye makeup I used my Lunasol Sheer Contrast Palette...

I was so relieved that I found a way to match their skin tone with my makeup since they're a few shades darker than me.

I love how they both turned out.. Pam's took about less than 10 minutes Reby's was longer coz I kept on piling on the shadow.. haha

[HowTo] 3rd attempt at posting this how to so i'm really mad..

>__________<

I don't think blogger wants me here..

it's getting more and more difficult for me to post..

first of all i can't really take my laptop home everyday coz i can't close it... because it's broken... >,<

second of all... there's some weird thing happening whenever i post pictures..

so help me God on this one..

this was just a random 10 minute look for me.. i'm getting less and less time to prepare everyday because my sister is here from the US so more time should me spent on the breakfast table.. ^^

its just a look that consists of 2 shades of eye color.. ^^ simple enough..

i start with BB cream.. as always and forever..

I'm using the Etude House Mineral BB Cream this time instead of my usual Skin79 Gold VIP one..I find the etude one gives more coverage but is a tad whiter... (as with everything in etude... >,<)

Here's my face with no flash looking really smooth.. with ellana foundation and concealer..

looks quite ghastly with flash >,<

here is the highlight of the show.. Kate line spicy palette.. i only used the 2 middle colours.

the 2 outer ones are quite chalky.. >,<

i just apply the pearly white all over my lid with my finger...

doesn't have to be perfect.. it's just gonna look like this or better

i get the darkest shade which is a super shimmery greyish black...

i just apply it from the outside in.. super close to the lashline..

and then it'll look like this ^^

so i line the upper lash line with a pencil liner...

same wit hthe lower lash line but i only do it on the outer half...

i then smudge the eyeliner i put on top and then i apply liquid eyeliner.. but i forgot o take a pic.. >,<

here with my liquid lined eye.. i smudge some more of the darker color on top of the line i drew so that it won't smudge and so that the eye shape will be more defined..
