Obsessive love over makeup, if I can, I would opt to study makeup and only makeup but yet again, I don’t. Ugh, I’ll decide that a little later, I still need to do more research and thinking. Worse come to worst, I’ll just go into Mass comm or business then I’ll figure things out once I reach there.

Until today, I’m still experimenting to find the perfect nude eyes. In which I define as earthy brown and bronze all over one’s lids hah.

Might as well record the whole process on my blog. Just to answer a couple of you, no, I’m /not/ a professional. I don’t know whether or not to call this a tutorial as I don’t consider these photos THAT good. Another thing is that I pretty much go with the flow, in other words, I don’t do theory haha, for all you know, someday I’m going to use lipstick as eyeliner. Ew but well, that’s where brushes come in.

Bare face that I bear with everyday, applied the shimmery KATE eye shadow base over my lids.

NYX Jumbo eye pencil in Sparkle nude applied at the area highlighted in green then blended out albeit.

using this eyeshadow brush + tissue for almost the entire process (yes tissue, scrap theory)

Using a white/cream color

Applied it below my brow bone and on the center of my lids. Please excuse bushy brows. Plucking very pain okay.

Using a shimmery brown-bronze color

applied it on the area highlighted in red. Pretty sure you could see that the red at the corner of the eye is more…red. yeah, focus more of the eye shadow on that area to get something like the left eye.

Tightlined my upper lashline with NYX’s slim eye pencil in black brown. Just use any pencil/crayon(I guess?) eyeliner to do the trick. After that, using the same cream color eye shadow from before, apply it at the inner corner of your eyes, bringing it down to the inner half corner of your bottom lash line . Also pat the same color onto the center of your upper lids to even out the brown.

Used K-Palette’s 1 day tattoo eye liner to draw fake cacat lashes on both eyes. Then with NYX’s slim eye pencil in black brown again, lined my outter bottom half lash line following by applying some red eyeshadow below it.

I wanted to draw another double eyelid but I messed up. The effect turned out acceptable I guess? That is, as long as I don’t close my eyes hahaha. Added upper and bottom false lashes too after curling my natural ones. Then I felt the need to stick three rhinestones as well. Lashes are from daiso haha. I’m using false lashes on more of my makeup experiments now because otherwise I’d think spending 30MYR on a lash glue is a waste. Cheapo, I admit but daiso glue doesn’t work that well for me. Other than that, I just really hope to get rid of all the lashes I have.

Closeup.

didn’t do much with the face, just concealer over all the un-flawless face then NYX round lipstick in snow white on the lips.

Needing more practice and I wonder if any friends out there would like to experience my wobbly hands “beautifying” their face.

k, ciao!

Gonna go back to thinking about my future

I actually filmed this makeup-related video last week…thinking that this suggestion from an Italian friend I met from roleplaying isn’t all that bad, let’s call her Kyo-chan okie?

So what took me this long to upload?

I edited in one day. I know, “simple editing and you took one day?!” I’m sorry for being so new and horrible with Sony Vegas D:

but the main reason was Face problem.

okay and guts problem.

but in the end, I told myself something I would’ve never pictured myself saying.

yolo.

you only live once.

HAHAHAHAHAHA

Yeah so whatever la. So here it is. Tips from all the makeup pro big senpais(seniors) out there are highly appreciated and if anyone out there reading / watching that video and knows of any super amazing nose contouring tutorials that can hopefully reduce the size of my nose by 10x, contact me.

I’m so up for contouring challenges hahaha

So for the video, seeing that I have no idea what were the colors I used, I won’t call this a tutorial. More like a ‘how I apply my makeup’ video? Lilac-lavender themed. But if anyone is interested, here are the products I’ve used.

Benefit cosmetics Oxygen wow liquid foundation in Ivory, Chanel translucent loose powder, Empro triangular brow pencil, 88 color eyeshadow palette, Nyx round lipstick in Snow white, Nyx pencil lip liner in Deep red, Nyx Blush and Bronzer combo, Burt’s Bees Beeswax lipbalm, Nyx pencil liner in black brown, eyelash glue and false lashes I got from taobao.

I guess that’s all and for your information, you know what? if you just want to look good on the net, don’t bother getting makeup or plastic surgeries or fillers or whatsoever.

Just get photoshop.

Or for my case, GIMP. :s

^^^^ 0 filter / edit

Decided to end it with a random oh-oh-tee-dee

To those wondering what I meant by ‘kinda’, it’s well sometimes I use concealer, sometimes I don’t, sometimes I use mascara sometimes I don’t and usually I’ll either use an eyeshadow primer/eyeshadow base before applying eyeshadow and well I was so busy staring at the eye shadows palette for 10 minutes that in the end, I forgot ALOT of things. T_T

Enjoy! >< Ciao ciao and Rachael if you’re reading this, Happy sweet sweet sweet sweet 16! I hope you like the edit I made for you and honestly I am surprised that I was able to jumble up an edit for you in 1hr and 30 minutes time and actually liking it. Have fun drowning in the smexiness of Japanese…and Italian 2D men!

 

At first, I wanted to try on makeup to match my new wig & a liquid foundation sample I got from Benefit Cosmetics. But after placing out all the makeup, I thought, might as well blog something, so step by step time!

Exams had been so tiring recently, because I’m the type that studies like, well, TRIES to study 12 hours before the paper but ends up having an unhealthy habit of sleeping at 8 PM and waking up at 11PM, only to find myself snoozing my alarm for 6 times throughout the night all the way til 4AM in the morning. It’s only until then I have this “I’m going to be productive” rush feeling to kick the books. Ugh all the break outs thanks to such sleeping pattern so mask mask mask everyday woohoo.

aaaannnnndddddddd Actually, I have two more papers on Tuesday, seriously, I kinda just want to stay back after school today and get those papers done. Before that, just let me get all these photos and blogpost out to the net! Had been urging to type so much these days, I mean, I’ll regret when I see my marks, I know I will, so I stopped my roleplays, closed my blogshop and took a mini break from blogging. But here I am again haha, and once I’m done with this post, I’m going to continue typing the first chapter of a new full OC based fiction!

Okay let’s start the main point. This is a look focused on the eye makeup only. Too bad, when your room has bad lighting and after you’ve decided to add like 3817189 color filters, you’ll totally filter out the sparkly eyes. It’ll just look like some typical smoky eye on your smart phone’s front camera, ugh.

However let me tell you this trick, iphone 5 CAN capture your beautiful makeup even in horrendous yellow lighting. Seriously, reasons why my mom’s phone is filled with my selcas.

whoops.

First, wash your face, then rub primer all over it. Next, apply eyeshadow primer to your eyelids if you plan to wear it all day. (I skipped this step)

 

As you can see, this is the naked face with acne all over the cheek and forehead /sobs

I’ll try getting more sleep during the holidays and be more rajin to wash my face with cleanser then apply toner after that. TRY. I’ll also try to fight against the laziness kicking in.

For starters, apply NYX Jumbo eye pencil in electric blue over your lids, this will act like an eye shadow base. At this point, I still had no idea what color / makeup look I wanted to go for.

Next, blend the edge of the liner with a clean blending brush.

I bought my palette from an online store so I’m not exactly sure what these two colors are called, but let’s just settle it as purple & indigo with a purple undertone? ._.

If you get something similar like the above then good. Sorry, because the photo turned out to dark, I had to play with the curves for this, hence the yellow-ness.

You’ll get something like this!

After that, above the black winged line, use a burgandy-black pencil liner and draw a line above it. I used Maybelline’s Unstoppable pencil Eye Liner in Velvet Black. (very very old release, can’t even find em in stores now T_T )

Later on, curl your lashes and apply mascara + falsies! I’ll probably end up recreating the look since I couldn’t seem to find ANYTHING that day after putting on all the eyeshadow, couldn’t find my lash glue (which had been missing for ages) and my mascara too. T_T

There you go the end product —of the eyes! I’ve once blogged a tutorial on blue shadows but it was deleted carelessly by me, sorry. Also if you’ve noticed, these were the same pair of lenses I used on my nude smoky eye look. hehe.

I wanted to add some colors to it and exaggerate the lids so this was the perfect one. Sparkly lilac colors represented the previously hit galaxy trend and the little pop of turquoise represents the mermaid’s tail.

IF YOU SQUINT YOUR EYES TO LIKE THIS = . =

you’ll notice the electric blue liner evidence that I did not manage to rub off properly when I attempted with having on my bottom lash line haha.

Next, onto the face. Since you’ve primed your face already, now, using concealer, hide all your acne and blemishes, I used a mac liquid foundation and a flat foundation brush to blend it. After that, I tried out Benefit Cosmetics’ Hello Flawless Oxygen wow liquid foundation in Ivory.

For this foundation, I wasn’t sure whether I liked the foundation or I liked the new translucent loose powder by Chanel that my mom bought the other day. Honestly speaking, I really love how both of these products combined! The finishing was amazing.

look at the acne-less skin /// v /// I always find the magic-est moment in all the beauty tutorial videos is when the beauty guru applies foundation. Instant flawless skin ; v ;

and here is how I look like when I’ve reached the latest chapter of an anime/manga

Ending volume of Reborn manga does /not/ apply to that reaction. The last chapter of KHR’s manga literally brought me to tears after sticking to the fandom for 6 years.
