Makeup in Minutes

TIME IS MONEY & you dont want to waste spending hours in front of mirror to achieve a polished look. Here are some tips to cut back all the time that you could have wasted
  • Dab some foundation stick to cover redness, dark eye circle or pimples instead of applying in all over your face. Choose a matching color to your skin tone so its easier to apply
  • Since you wont have time to put on liner or eyeshadows, the next step is to coat your lashes twice with mascara. Use a big wand mascara to give your lashes volume and length. Remember to curl your lashes first coz it'll help your eyes to look bigger 
  • Use product to dab to cheek, lips and eyes with your finger like NARS multiple or MAC cream color base , etc (you get the idea) . Rose, peach and bronze shade look best
  • Since your look is very neutral, you can use some colors on your lips to make it looks like you're actually wearing makeup. Choose red, fuchsia or pink lipstick to finish your look
There you go, this look wont take longer than 5 minutes to be done. Hope you enjoy your look and have a great day !

Street style : "Lady Gaga" in Tokyo

Lady Gaga has become a style icon to so many young girls around the world, especially in Japan. Or shes actually influenced by the Japanese style in the first place ( rumor is saying her stylist was born in japan ). Either way, when Lady Gaga came to perform in japan, her fans went all out with the costume/fashion. They all dress to impress & its so cool to see those outfits were carried by real people. I have to say their fashion is AMAZING. Even the makeup is spot on. Lets check out the Japanese Lady Gaga girls

The designers really try to attract more younger clients through this collection full of softness & modern twist like short colorful dresses, sparkly leggings, but also continue the traditional style like ruffles & layers. The makeup is fantastic with colorful eyes with a pale face & nude lips. Hair was kept simple to let the makeup stand out more
