Have you ever been in a situation where you have to make a tough decision of choosing between two sides? And it was just too hard and you just wanted to be in the middle instead?   Case on point:  Choosing between a black eyeliner and a brown eyeliner. A brown eyeliner might look too soft on you while black will look too harsh, or unnatural.  I mean, don't tell me you never had such experience of choosing which of the two shades you should wear. Wait, you didn't?  Like, ever? Oh well fine, it's just me then! LOL.   Anyway, now we, I mean I, will no longer have to be in such predicament.  Thanks to K-Palette (still the best eyeliner for me!) for coming up with a shade that's perfectly between their Super Black and Deep Brown eyeliners.   K-Palette Real Lasting Eyeliner in Brown Black, Php795     Just like the first two (Super Black and Deep Brown), this one has a glossy finish. It is still very longwear...

No, this isn't about flying. (laughs)  I just want to show you this eyeliner style that I've been wearing for the past few days.  I think this is called an open-winged eyeliner. Not sure though, so don't take my word for it!   ^_^ So anyways, by now I am pretty sure you are already used to my winged liner looks.  Honestly, I can say that it suits me.  I've tried doing the simple, natural way by lining close to the lash lines and without any wing.  But no, it doesn't suit me.  I have big cheeks and if I do the natural way, it just makes me look plump-ier. Doing the winged liner lifts my eyes, making it look wider giving the illusion of narrower face.  Looking back, I realized that I've been doing the winged look ever since I started lining my eyes.  But of course, it was less dramatic by only extending the line and not really doing the winged, lift look. This open winged look makes my eyes look a lot bigger because I am no...

Here's an easy eye makeup that I usually do when I'm in a hurry.  In this tutorial, I use only one lid color and another to blend out the harsh lines. Start with a clean eye area: Apply primer on the entire lid area (UDPP): Using your ring finger, sweep Bobbi Brown Longwear Cream Shadow in Beach Bronze on the lid: Blend the cream shadow using upward strokes Apply MAC e/s in Bamboo using a fluffy brush in wiping motion (crease area): Line the upper lashlines (K-Palette eyeliner in Black): Lighten the color of the brows using Majolica Majorca Brow and Lash Colorist: Curl lashes: Apply two coats of mascara (Shu Uemura Ultimate Natural Mascara): To lighten the undereye area, apply Revlon Colorstay Brightener + Primer and blend in dabbing motion: Set using powder (NYX Flat But Not Matte in Nude):  Lash the lower water lines using Kryolan in 901: ...

 Hiyee, how's the week treating you so far?  It's midweek already and I can't wait til it's the weekend.  I'm excited since I'll be having a trial makeup with a former officemate and good friend this Saturday and on Sunday, I'll  be having my hair colored and treated. Whoa, about time!   For today, I wanna share with you the look I came up with last Friday.  It's kinda "dark" as most of my colleagues commented. But I don't blame them, it's been a while since I last wore a dark, smokey look to work.  Yes, to work...on a rather sunny Friday.  (But it did rain in the early evening, hahaa)   K-Palette Long Lasting Eyebrow The Face Shop automatic eyebrow liner Revlon Photoready Eye Primer + Highlighter  INuovi eyeshadow in Galaxy, MAC eye shadows in Deep Truth and Contrast K-Palette eyeliner in Black Benefit They're Real Mascara The Face Shop falsies UD liner in Zero Yves Rocher Perfect Primer Estee Laude...

Honestly,  I take it seriously when I get compliments.   Mashado ko dinidibdib!  (laughs) I get compliments whenever I wear pinks and violets on my makeup look.  So ayan, here's another look using those shades.   All MAC eyeshadows (I forgot what shades though..)

One rainy Saturday afternoon in July, I, and some of my fellow bloggers braved the rain as we didn't want to miss K-Palette's Makeup Workshop and Meet and Greet  with Noriko Imura at GB5.  Besides, flying in a brand's lead Makeup Artist for Product Development doesn't happen everyday.   I came in late (as usual, my bad!) since I came from another meeting but I was just really on time because Ms. Imura has just started with the eyebrow tutorial: Noriko teaching her audience where our eyebrows should begin and end She demonstrated how to use the K-Palette Lasting 2-way eyebrow on Aimee.  She first used the one with the powder tip to fill in the gaps and then the liquid tip to outline.  In my case, I do the reverse.  See my post about it here .  K-Palette Lasting 2Way Eyebrow natural-looking brows Then she started showing us how to line our eyes and come up with a natural look: Noriko said for a n...
