Mim, Myself & I...

I attempted to arrange my nail polishes according to their color groups... I think I failed. Haha

Nail polish used are: 

Orly Honeymoon in Style (base) 

Orly Luxe (gold)

Etude House Look at My Cotton Candy Nails COR201

I hope you enjoyed this super mini how to. 

Stay dry and safe! Let's keep praying.  

I just made the makeup simple with grey tones on my eyes and some shimmer.  Used HN Mineral Blush in Rosy Cheeks and a neutral lip.  

I feel that adding a bit of darker foundation warmed up my face which I like.  I think I'm going to do this more often especially in this gloomy stormy weather. 

I immediately put a cream type of concealer.. The ones that are in tubes... I get about this much and cover the redness around my nose, the scars on my cheeks and under my lips and concentrate a lot of it under my eyes since I have really tired looking eyes.

So this is how my face looks after the cream concealer... It's a huge improvement! 

After the concealer, I put on powder foundation.  Of course my go-to foundation is Human Nature's Perfect Coverage Foundation.  I'm not biased or anything but this is really the only thing that works for me right now.  It's only been 2.5 months and I've finished this one.  Look at how big the hole is!!! 

I would put bronzer on a super regular basis now.. I think I go through a couple of pans of bronzers a year.. rough estimate... It's super rare for me not to contour or tone down my complexion.. 

I just use a regular colored bronzer... No shimmers or anything.  Just like a neutral shade that's several shades deeper than my skin tone.  I still think this bronzer is a bit too orange but I haven't found the perfect shade of bronzer.. And I think it looks fine on picture...So... It's okay for now. 

Aside from contouring my cheeks... I also applyt bronzer on my temples to add some warmth to my face so it won't be so flat and stark.. 

Another thing I find myself nowadays is contouring my nose... 

I don't think I'll ever wanna get a nose job but i find contouring adds some kind of depth to my face in a subtle way. 

What I use for contouring is a light yellowish brown eyebrow powder... 

I tap it on my hand before putting it on my nose so it won't be to dark. 

Contoured face and the brishes I use for contouring... I think both brushes are part of a cheap brush set I got from Walmart. I can't even remember anymore :( 

Next I'd be doing my eyebrows.  Before penciling in my eyebrows, I brush it first to go to the direction I want it to go to. My brows are usually wild even if I have them threaded like once every three weeks.

There's overgrowth now... I'm growing it out for my next threading..

So I pencil it in... Actually... I have uneven brows. One is shorter than the other so what I would do is apply eyelid primer on the shorter brow so that the drawing I'd draw there won't fade during the day. It works wonders actually. It lasts until I take it off before sleeping! 

I do this step just to soften the hash line that was drawn on with a pencil. 

Last step for my eyebrow routine is a brow mascara. I apply this to lighten my brows.  I feel that lighter eyebrows give the face a brighter image.  

So I just take than eyeshadow and use it to smudge the black eyeliner slightly taking it upwards towards my crease. 

I don't want this look to be too harsh and still have some softness to it so instead of using a black eyeliner on my top and bottom lash line, I use a shimmery khaki eyeliner. 

For the bottom lash line I just applied it to the outer half of my eye, not all the way through. 

Almost done. I just apply a pink blush above the area that I put my bronzer. 

Next is I highlight my face.. I highlight my nose.. Just the area where I didn't apply the contour. 

Super easy right? I really hope a lot of you guys won't be too intimidated about putting eye make up or even just makeup altogether.  

Sorry, I won't be posting the products that I use anymore.  Personal reasons, first of all I'm not sponsored, second of all I don't wanna promote anything aside from Human Nature! You understand right? 

Hahaha! 

Anyway, it's easier to put makeup without knowing the brand just so that you have a sort of mind set that you can use your own makeup to do this look... not just the exact brands that I use. 

Thank you for those who are still following this blog and I'd love to post more tutorials about random looks next time.  

I hope this is a start of a new beginning. Haha! 

Anyway, goodnight! 

They have a great selection of colors from candy colors to deep wines and the trending colors this season such as corals and mint greens... 

It's just so awesome that they have a great collection of Zoya Nail Polish... I'm addicted to nail polish and I've read great reviews coz this particular brand seems to be the most natural and earth-friendly out of all the nail polish brands... Perfect for aspiring nature lovers like me...! 

For the posh ladies, they also have an amazing collection of Chanel nail varnishes.  They also have OPI, Orly and Essie... Only the best nail polish brands in this salon! 

We were served their house ice tea... Which was really refreshing and a great pick me upper after a long work day... 

 Ta-da! My finished mani! 

Lovely color! I think this is Devin by Zoya... So cute and do clean!

Awkward foot photo... But such a great job on my nails... I love them and I can't wait to find the time to go back there!
