FOTD

 
To achieve this look, just follow these steps:
  • Moisturize your face as usual
  • I use RCMP cream foundation & MAC studio finish concealer under my eyes
  • Use MAC loose powder in Medium to set the foundation
  • For my eyes : I use MAC paint pot Bare study to prime them before putting on eyeshadow
  • Then put MAC eyeshadow Beautiful Iris all over my lid
  • Contour my eyes with MAC e.s. Leisure time (limited edition ) or u can substitute it with MAC e.s. Star Violet ( very similar color ). Also dab it on the bottom lash line
  • Put MAC e.s. Beauty Marked on the outer part of the eyes and feather it in. Blend well & blend it on the bottom lash line
  • Highlight the inner corner of your eyes with MAC e.s. Naked lunch
  • Use MAC e.s. Nylon to highlight brow bone
  • For Eyeliner : I use MAC fluidline in Black track with a small tipped brush
  • I line my bottom water lash line with MAC eye kohl Fascinating and extend it out to seperate the bottom and the top liner. Dab some MAC e.s Crystal Avalanche on top to make it popped
  • Curl my lashes with Shu uemura eyelash curler
  • I use my all time favourite mascara Benefit Bad Gal to coat the top & bottom lashes
  • Fill in my eyebrow with MAC e.s. carbon lightly with an angle brush . Then shape it with a coat of Clear mascara
  • For Blush : I use Benetint as a base . Blend well using my finger . It gives your cheek a natural blush with a matte finish
  • I layer with Dior Blush Passion Fruit 533 on top to give my face a glowy look
  • For Lip :  I want something different (or more extreme :D) so I tried MAC lipstick Violetta . I dont usually line my lip so I skipped that part . If you want, you can line your lip with MAC lip liner Magenta. (in person, it looks deeper , not as bright & more violet, less pinkish)
  • Since the color is so strong , I dont want to use too much lipgloss to make it stand out even more. So I only use a bit of MAC Lipgelee on top
Thats a break-down of my whole look . I dont think I would wear this to go out any day but its fun to play with makeup rite?

    A few tips / tricks

    • To keep your lashes curly all day, heat the eyelash curler first then curl your lashes as usual, it will help keeping ur lashes curly all day
    • Dip your eyeliner brush in Visine when u use powder as liner. It'll dry faster and last longer than regular water
    • Using the old mascara wands to shape your brow with a lil bit of moisturizer. Cheaper than an eyebrow mascara but just as effective.
    • If you have removed one to many eyebrow hairs, apply vaseline on your eyebrows when you sleep - it makes them grow faster.
    • Use matte powder eyeshadows to fill in the brows since there are a big range of colors for you to choose from
    • Apply blusher before foundation for a more natural look. Also, applying powder blusher with a sponge gives a nice gentler effect than with a brush.
    • To make your lipstick last longer, blot it after applying lipstick. Put a bit of powder to set, then reapply lipstick again
    • Crush an asprin and mix it with a teaspoon of baking soda and enough toner/witch hazel/tea tree oil to make it into a paste, then cake that on over the pimples and sleep with it on. It helps to remove the pimples or at least reduce the redness or inflammation
