Tutorial : Valentine edition

14 Feb

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.

Our most loved product for 2012

Girlsss, we would like to share with you our favorites beauty products for 2012. These are the products that we mostly used throughout the year and we can’t leave the house without.

D’s Favorites:

  • Acne.org Regimen

I have been struggling with acne almost my whole life (since puberty) and I didn’t see it would go away as I tried so many different products, treatments, injections, pills, vitamins, herbal and local dermatologists. None of them could really clear up my skin. If you would like to know my acne story, I’ll post another blog about it, since it will be one long post by itself. By the end of 2012, I am saved by acne.org regimen and it truly works like wonder.

  • NYX Eyebrow Cake (Dark Brown)

I do believe eyebrow shape your face and a very important part you should groom and maintain regularly. I never (seriously) ever leave my house with un-groomed eyebrow and this is my staple product. Using angled brush, I mix the two colors together to fill in my brows and use the darker shade for the tail of my eyebrows to make them more defined. I never used the wax part because I don’t like the feeling of it.

  • Maybelline Color Tattoo (Bad to the bronze)

My most worn eyeshadow this year, because it super easy and goes with everything. Plus the stay power is amazing, I have oily lids and it stays for the whole day.

  • Benefit Hervana Blush

This give me a sultry nice blush color and I love it.

  • YSL Rouge Volupte Lipstick (#30)

My favorite lipstick hands down! I almost run out and need to buy a new one soon.

  • Juicy Couture by Juicy Couture Perfume

My most used scent this year. Day or night, I find that I always grab for this perfume if I’m in hurry and don’t have time to think

F’s Favorites:

  • Urban Decay Primer Potion

Simply the best eye primer in the market. Both of us loves ours dearly.

  • Urban Decay Naked Palette 2

Love this palette so much, every color is beautiful and the pigmentation is amazing. If I can only have one palette in my collection, this will be it.

  • Koji Dolly Wink Eyeliner (Black)

Simply the best. You can check our previous blog regarding this eyeliner. But I must say, Japanese really know how to make the best liner!

  • Bobbi Brown Long Wear Gel Liner (Sepia Ink)

I do my everyday smoky liner with this on top. I can do another blog post on how I do my daily eye makeup if you would like to see it 😉

  • MAC Lipstick (Peachstock)

My favorite nude shade lipstick and I used 2 of these already.

  • Versace Bright Crystal Perfume

This is my perfect scent. I use this every single day and reapply when I feel need to.

Tell us about your favorite products for 2012 😀
