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...

Can anybody please give me a good poke (and spanking, no pun intended) for forgetting to do a review on one of the best foundations I've ever tried? I've always loved MAC Studio Fix Fluid for personal and for my clients' use.  It's the one foundation I would often reach out to during makeup gigs.  It doesn't fail me (and my clients) achieve that flawless look that would stay put.  With that, I always make sure that I have it in my makeup stash and that I have backups. Well, I didn't know it will about to change. When my good friend, Joan, went home last year for a short visit she asked me if she can give me a bottle of MAC's new foundation.  She said she wanted me to try it out, as she had been reading a lot of raves about it all over the internet.  And who am I to say no?  You know how such a sucker I am for foundations.   And so I met the one foundation that would change my life: MAC Matchmaster Foundation SPF15 New foundation ...

Played again with my MAC Twists of Tartan palette and another purple e/s also from MAC: Ugh, foundation's a shade (probably two shades) darker than my skintone.  I didn't realize until I saw these pictures.  So that's why my colleagues were asking if I had a short trip to the beach. ^_^ I am breaking out like crazy.  See those little bumps on my cheek?  They are full-blown pimples (red and angry) as of this writing.  It's frustrating.  I need a facial...stat! and geesh, those eyebags.   And yeah, those big cheeks too.  And guess what, I am 11 lbs overweight. (bursts into tears) Uh-oh...it's one of "those days."  Probably the "visitor" is on its way, hence this "down" feeling.  So don't worry my lovelies, I'll be okay.  I hope you have a great day!

Happy Monday! I hope everybody had a great weekend.  I did!  I had a fabulous stay-cation in a hotel with my family.  And as expected, all I did was eat, sleep and watch TV.  I also had a great time relaxing in a tub.   I felt super recharged...so I guess, I'm ready for the week ahead! ^_^ For those who are following me on Instagram and on Twitter (if you haven't followed me yet, please follow me..pleaaase?) you might have seen the pics of that something that started my interest with makeup --- mineral makeup!  It certainly brought back the memories of me going into different mineral makeup websites and ordering a few (NOT!) samples.  OMG, those were the days.  I even remember my so-called "pot-session" activities. I got so excited and so I decided to create a makeup look using mostly minerals: K-palette Long Lasting Eyebrow The Face Shop eyebrow liner Majolica Majorca Brow and Lash Colorist Revlon Coloready Primer+Hi...

 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..)

Uh-uh, so there goes my attempt of putting back my " Happy Friday " looks back to life. (laughs)  I knooooww, I've been wearing mostly neutrals lately.  I don't know, maybe I'm losing my love for colors?  Because of old age, perhaps!?   ^_^ I actually filmed a video tutorial for this look, but I can't seem to download it properly to have it edited.  My memory card's probably busted or my Movie Maker's messed up.  I don't know. Sniff. Do you know any other movie editor? Lemme know.   Anyways, here's the look: NYX HD eye base K-Palette long lasting eyebrow MAC brow set in Girl Boy MAC eyeshadows in Bitter, Poison Pen, Nocturnelle and Carbon K-Palette long lasting eyeliner in Black Benefit They're Real Mascara Benefit Eyebright Revlon Photoready Correcting Primer Benefit Hello Flawless Oxygen Wow liquid foundation Benefit Posietint Revlon Photoready powder Sleek Face Contour kit Ever Bilena l/s...

How to add an extra Oomph to your Neutrals? Colored eyeliners! Yay or Nay? Happy Friday, dearies!  Hopefully we would all have a rain-free weekend.  After what happened this week,  I promised myself that I will never, ever complain about how hot it is outside.  And that I will never hate the sun ever again. ^_^ Keep safe, everyone!

I am sure this isn't the first time I posted a look like this one.  This is my go-to look on days I want an "awake" look despite the (almost) sleepless night before.  I try to focus more on the lips and/or cheeks but I still want to give my eyes a certain "pop."
