IAMBRIGITTE

(pathetic title, no?) I'm back with another tutorial...and this time, it has a bit of colors as compared with my last tut. I tell you, i don't want to scare off my new officemates with my uber-colorful looks. i prefer to shock them bit by bit. hehehe 1. Apply eye primer on the entire lid 2. Apply AWG e/s in Compassion on the lid 3. Apply Aromaleigh e/s in Strawberry Despair on the outer lid 4. Blend 5. Apply Hoppin' (from MAC Heatherette Trio 1) as highlight and blend. 6. Apply MAC Stylin' (from Lucky Tom HK palette) on the lower lashlines, line upper lash lines with Stila smudgepot then curl lashes and apply coats of Mascara. Final look: hope you like it, dearies. muaaah!

i know i posted a tutorial on how to do neutral eye makeup months ago...and this is just another one. please bear with me now since i'd be doing another neutral look...give me some weeks more and i'll be back to wearing COLORFUL looks :) for today's looks, i've used the following colors: 1 - Phenomenal (AWG) 2 - Amazing (AWG) 3 - Semi-matte brown (Monave) 4 - Pearl (Pure Anada) on with the tutorial: 1. Start by priming the lids, i've used UDPP 2. Apply the first color (Phenomenal) on the entire lids 3. Apply the second color (Amazing) on the outer half of the lid 4. Apply the 3rd color (Semi-matte brown) on the outer-V for more definition blend, blend, blend 5. Apply highlighter on the browbones and tearducts using 4th color (Pearl), line the upper lash lines with fluidline in Dipdown, curl lashes and apply mascara (Plush Lash by MAC). I've also lined my waterlines with white eyeliner (PAC) Final Look: For the face, I've used Ultimate All da...

used: AWG e/s in Innovative MAC e/s in Nocturnelle MAC Penultimate liner in Rapid Black Shiseido Eye Lash primer (yeah, stupid me forgot to apply my mascara LOL) love my lipcolor! RAWR! nope, i didn't wear that to work...hehehe. I just played with my 66-lip color palette from Coastalscents and this blue intrigued me. I had to apply concealer first to neutralize my natural lip color so the blue would really show up. hmmm, i'm getting bored to death so i might probably wear a lipcolor like this one of these days. =)

after feeling gloomy for a couple of days, i am now feeling green...LOL. Still playing with my mineral eyeshadows, i just felt like sporting a green EOTD again...green being my lucky e/s color for this year anyways :) EYES: PAC Brow kit topped with MAC brow set in Girl Boy UDPP Aromaleigh Gothic Lolita in Verdant Wisp AWG e/s in Glorious MAC e/s in Creme Royal (HK Lucky Tom palette) MAC Penultimate Liner in Rapid Black MAC Plush lash mascara FACE: Smashbox Photofinish primer Illuminare Ultimate All Day Concealer/Foundation in Portofino Porcelain MAC HK Pretty Baby MUFE HD loose powder MAC Sculpt and Shape TFS Face Nuance illuminizer LIPS: MAC HK Cute-ster so what do you think ladies, of all my EOTDs/EOTNs...what suits me the best? Purple/pink, blue or green? :)

(thanks to all who sent me a message and cheered me up after i posted my "Thursday Gloomy look." it definitely helped me feel a lot better...i am so glad to have you dearies!) so for my Friday look, i tried to at least be a bit more colorful and feel a lot cheerful. my officemates surely saw the difference (maybe i just got so good in pretending) and told me that i look a lot happier that day.

...and because of that, i vowed to myself that i'd be wearing GREENS more often! tee-hee... actually, i was just too lazy again to do my eyemakeup...so i decided to roadtest my Aromaleigh e/s again! now i am wishing they have pressed e/s...for i am starting to adore those that i got as gift from my good friend Phoebe. I know it isn't Friday yet...but who cares! I've been wearing a lot of neutrals lately, but it's summer and i want more colors! hmmm, maybe i can wear something really summer-y tomorrow?

after months of contemplating whether to get samples or not from AWG, i finally decided to give it a GO! i've been seeing beautiful swatches from Annielise and wanted to get samples, but i have too much makeup already...not to mention tons of mmu e/s samples. but still, i find their e/s very nice...something that can be used for bridal makeup. so last month, i finally ordered from Franchesca. she has been so nice to wait til i finalize my order. i put some items on my cart but didn't check out, she then contacted me thru email to ask if she will give it a go but i asked her if it can wait until my (actually, my mom's) card's cut off date. and she patiently waited. i got my orders in no time, and she even threw in some sample foundations. thanks Franchesca! and last week was such a HELL week in the office (it still is, actually)...so i decided to take a walk and go to the mall. and you know how i am when i get all stressed... my first stop: MAC My MAC Dame Edna lo...
