Tutorial: Neutral eye-makeup...

Image
A reader requested for a neutral eyes tutorial a loooong time ago (sorry dear, i know it's been ages...), so here's my attempt. I planned on having a video tutorial but it will take more time to edit, so for now, i hope pictures will do. For this look, i used my Smashbox Quad in Juxtapose: Start with applying primer on the lids. I've used Too Faced Shadow Insurance and MAC PP in Soft Ochre on top. 1. Pat color #1 on the lids, up to the crease 2. Using a big blending brush (MAC 224), blend the color so there would be no harsh lines to get this: 3. Using a smaller blending brush (MAC 217) apply color #2 on the outer corner and on the outer crease to get this: 4. Using a much smaller crease brush (NARS #12), apply color #3 where you applied color #2. This would give more definition... 5. Blend...blend...blend 6.

magazines and gifts from Shen...

i know i have piles of magazines already, there are even some that i haven't read yet...but i just can't stop myself from buying new issues of some of the magazines i love to read: i even got this Pantene 3-minute miracle treatment for free from one of the magazines (i think from Cosmo?). so finally, i'd be able to try it. then, my sweet friend Shen gave me these: weeee..i've been waiting to get my hands on this lovely brush. i placed an order a month ago, and Shen gave it together with the lipgloss as gifts. thanks thanks Shen! so sooooft!

Quintos-Laporre nuptials: a wedding makeup gig...

Image
those who really know me would know that i am not really into doing makeup for weddings. reasons? well obviously, one reason would be i love bold colors more. probably i'm scared that i'd end up giving the bride some smokey eyes...lol. and another reason would be, i am trying to stay away from being asked why on earth am i not married yet! (pressure pressure) hahahahaa... anyways, i was asked if i can do makeup for this wedding. i was hesitant at first, but i do feel like i am beginning to lose my makeup mojo since i haven't been doing any makeup for other people for quite some time. so i gave it a try, and fortunately...after the trial makeup, the bride chose to get my service for their special day. i was so nervous, that i felt like my heart's gonna come out of my chest any minute. honestly, that's what i feel each time i am to do makeup. hahahaha. but once i'm on it, i just forget all my worries and just focus on what i'm doing. so here are some pics from...

MAC Heatherette Trio 1 eotd (second attempt)...

Image
it's been a while since i last used my Heatherette Trio 1, and since i (really) can't wear colorful colors in the office, i decided to skip the aqua-ish color in the set (mood ring?). turned out to be something that i like...what do you think? tata!
