Natural Everyday Makeup : Urban Decay Naked 3

It’s been a long time since my last post and to make it up to you all I have a simple and easy tutorial using the infamous Urban Decay Naked 3 Palette!!

So excited when I first received it as my last Christmas gift and since then I know that my first post for 2014 would be about it. Many blogger describe the theme for this new Naked Palette is “pinkish shade of nude”. Might not be everyone’s cup of tea tho, since a few people I know aren’t crazy with the colors. The palette itself contains different finishes, thus you can easily create so many looks for day and night from it alone.

Back to the tutorial, I simply mention what colors I’ve been using to achieve this look. You can use brushes or fingers as your tool.

Brow bone : strange*

Eyelid : burnout

Outter Corner : mugshot

Inner Corner : dust**

Eyeliner : Kate Super Sharp Liner

False lashes : Honey by Angelwinks***

* a good highlight color ❤

** it’s a bit powdery and the color payoff isn’t impressive but a nice accent to use for inner corner

*** one word: wow! love their false lashes because it’s made from good material, last long and comfortable. (Find on IG: @Angelwinks_)

For the rest of the face, I just use my trusty Benefit Hervana on my cheeks and finish off with YSL Rouge Volupte #1.

and Donee!!

Natural Gyaru Makeup Tutorial

I’m a big fan of Japanese and Korean makeup, so my makeup always very Japanese-Korean inspired.

For you who don’t know, here’s the difference between Japanese and Korean :

Korean or Ulzzang (Korean for “best face”) always go for more natural makeup and innocent look. They wear neutral and softer colours like brown shades for their makeup with flawless skin. They barely wear thick and heavy eyeliner (because most of them has perfected their eyelids)

Park Sora (ulzzang)

Japanese or Gyaru (“gals”) have different makeup styles and required so much more work! Not only they play with eyeshadow colours, fake lashes, bottom lashes but also colored circle lenses…

Tsubasa Masukawa (Gyaru)

This is a simple and natural makeup inspired by Japanese Gyaru look that can be used for anyone.

1. Apply brown eyeshadow just above the crease

2&3. Apply gel eyeliner in a thin line on your top eyelid

4. Curl your eyelashes with eyelash curler (i always apply eyeshadow and eyeliner first and allowing it to dry before curling your lashes)

5. Put fake eyelashes on your eyes (don’t forget to trim your falsies to match your eyes)

6. Apply black liquid eyeliner as close as possible to your lash line

7. Apply the same eyeshadow (that you used on your upper lid) to your bottom lash line

8. Put on separate lower fake eyelashes

Next step :
– Countour your nose naturally by applying shading on the upper side of the nose.
– Fill in your eyebrow with eyebrow powder (just brush it on).

Tools:
-Urban Decay Deluxe Shadow Box : underground
-Bobby Brown black gel eyeliner
-Duo Brush-On Adhesive
-Make up forever Face Contour Kit : Shade 2
-Lovedrops black liquid eyeliner
-Angelwinks Dashing for upper lash
-Angelwinks Dreamy for bottom lash

Daisy Buchanan of The Great Gatsby Tutorial

Hello Loves,

I always love the 20s, the glamorous era. Where women wear elegant dresses, bold-hue lips, wavy locks. I wish that I can live in that time period and dress up like that all the time. From the moment Daisy appeared on that white room scene, I fell in love with her ‘innocent’ look. I created this tutorial for you Gatsby lovers or if you just like simple and easy everyday pastel look.

How To:

1. Here, I’ve done my face routine. I used my trusty Skin79 BB Cream all over my face, Bobbi Brown Concealer in Pale Yellow just to cover my imperfections from acne and Urban Decay Eyeshadow Primer Potion on my eyelids. I also did my eyebrows with NYX Eyebrow Cake Powder in Brunette and finish off with Dolly Wink Eyebrow Mascara #3.

2. Using my pinky finger, I applied Maybelline Color Tattoo in the color Tough as Taupe all over my eyelids, focusing on the outer corner.

3. Bring along the color to the outer part of your bottom lash line of your eyes. Blend nicely.

4. With small blending brush and smoky purple color from my Coastal Scent 88 Metal Mania Palette, I applied the color carefully on the outer corner of my eyes to create more depth and dimension to my eyelids. Blend away nicely.

5. Using my Dolly Wink black liquid eyeliner, I draw a thin line as close as I can to my natural lash line. Here we just want to complete the look without adding too much drama. Finish the eyes with your favorite coat of mascara.

6. For the rest of the face, I just adding a light touch of Benefit Hervana blush and YSL Volupte Sheer Candy #1 and the look is complete.

Tutorial : Valentine edition

Hi beauties, today is Valentine’s Day and I create this look that is easy and flattering to almost all skin and eye color using purple eye shadow as the main focus to the eyes.

Point: I’ve done my face routine like usual, using my trusty Skin79 BB cream to even out my complexion. I have a couple of active acne so I used my Bobbi Brown concealer to cover them. Last but very important step, I use my Urban Decay Eye Shadow Primer on my eyelids and bring some along my lower lash line.

The eye shadow palette that I’m using here is Coastal Scents 88 Ultra Shimmer Eye Shadow Palette. My makeup brushes are from Sigma.

Here are the directions:

 

1. Using shadow brush, take the shimmery soft yellow shadow (A) and apply it all over your lids.

2. Using pencil brush, take the deep purple shadow (B) and gently apply the shadow along your crease line (see pic). Always start slowly with this kind of intense color. You don’t want too much of it!

3. Blend away any harsh line with fluffy blending brush. Use gentle stroke.

4. Using shadow brush, take again the shimmery soft yellow shadow (A) and apply it in the inner corner of your eyes for brightening effect.

5. Using pencil brush, take a little bit of dark brown shadow (C) and apply it only at the outer corner of the eyes, bring some to the lower lash line.

6. Here I’m using my black Dolly Wink eyeliner to create winged eyeliner look like so.

7. Apply some false lashes and put one coat of mascara.

8-9. Moving to cheek, I use my YSL Touche Blush #6 and use it as a bronzer to contour my cheekbone.  Then using an angle blush brush, blend away any harsh line

I finished the look with Benefit Hervana blush on my cheek and YSL Rouge Volupte Lipstick #1 on my lips.

Here are the final look pictures…….

Review : Schwarzkopf Hair Foam (caramel brown)

My hair has grownnn and it’s time for color treatment. I bought this Schwarzkopf hair foam from my local drugstore, it was on sale and I never tried this brand before so here is my first experience using it.

 

 

Pro:

• Cute packaging
• The directions are easy to follow
• The color was spread evenly (a few days later, I had my haircut and the hairstylist thought that my hair color was done professionally)
• The product is more than enough to color my whole hair.
• Save $$$ as we can do it ourselves

Cons:

• They use doll as their cover model, I would prefer human model because the color will be much more realistic to me.
• I don’t fancy the after color treatment, the consistency is very thick but doesn’t moisture my hair enough.
• The color range is very limited, I wish they have more variety.

 

It turns out to be quite light brown to my hair. Overall, I really like this product! If you want to color your own hair I would suggest using this rather than the normal hair-dye because it is much easier to use. I would repurchase this later on and if you would like to give this product a try, my advise is to use your own deep conditioner afterwards or you can mix the after color treatment that comes with your own conditioner to double the moisture.

Thank you so much for reading. Hope you find this post useful. Feel free to drop your comment or ask us anything.

Cheers

Matte nail polish

Matte lipstick and matte nail polish become trend and I’m totally obsessed with them.

If you are bored with the color of nail polish that you already have, you can do experiment with this matte nail polish.

Now you can make your own instead you just look at the picture on Instagram, tumblr or pinterest and wondered how to make it.

I’m using china glaze kinetic candy, revlon pink lingerie and etude house matte real.

How to :

First, paint the entire nail with your desirable nail polish color. Let it dry. Second, apply the matte polish (one coat). And your done! 🙂
