Tutorial: Simple Everyday Make-Up

I posted the other day the ways on how I wore my basic white top and I came up with a simple make-up also to match with my outfit. Today, I am going to share with you the make-up tutorial on how I came up with this look. I actually just used two (2) color of eye shadows (a lighter shade and a dark shade) in this tutorial to justify the post title about a simple make-up.
A Simple Make-Up

Here are some products I've used in achieving this look. 

The step-by-step instructions:
Step #1. I skip with the moisturizer because I used my Etude House BB Cream in Refreshing. I squeezed out from the tube a small amount only and using my slanted foundation brush, I applied it evenly onto my face.

Step #2. I set my BB Cream by applying my IN2IT two-way foundation over it using my powder brush.

Step #3. Eyelids!
Apply the similar eye shadow color you have (it's like a mix of green & gray) using any small eye brush from the outer to the inner 3rds of your lower lash line.

Step #4. Crease!
Apply also any very dark brown eye shadow you have (provided it is matte) using a bullet brush from the outer to the inner 3rds of your lower lash line.

Step #5. Blend! Blend! Blend!

Step #6. Brow bone!

Step #7. Eye brows!

Step #8. Lash line!

Step #9. Contour!
Then, bring it up by stroking at the sides of your face to create shadow that will give an illusion of slim face.. I also contoured my nose using a big eye shadow brush. Do not forget your jaw line also. To make it more natural, I stroke the remaining product in the brush lightly on my cheeks.

Step #10. Blush!

Step #11. I applied a very small amount of champagne eye shadow mixed with a Stila in Moonlight eye shadow onto the corner of my eyes to make my eyes pop more and to make my face look even brighter. 

Step #12. Curl your lashes and apply your favorite mascara. I used Maybelline Volum Express.

Step #13. Lips!

And you're done! Here are some bonus photos before I get my hair curled and get ready for the photo shoot with my hubby.

This make-up is perfect for an everyday wear to work. Skip the contouring and bronzing steps, I really find this make-up look just so quick and easy to do. Talk about NARCISSISM, I hope I didn't get you bored with all my faces. 

I hope you find my make-up tutorial helpful.

Face Of The Day: BRIGHT SULTRY LOOK

So, what eye make-up should you wear with a gray dress? 

Believe me, if you are not confident enough in putting on your make-up like me especially in matching it with your outfit; you'll end up goggling for tips lol! Okay, so I found out that gray is a neutral color. Some said that you can wear any eye make-up, some said it's best to go for a smokey eye look, a purple look, a gray/ silver eye make-up, etc.

I end up with this look though:
 

The occasion I've attended to was held on daytime so I chose a more neutral look but sultry. Honestly, I received compliments with this make-up. It's so flattering most especially when the compliment came from my B's mom!

Bright Sultry Eye Make-Up

Products used:
Etude House Magic BB Cream in Refreshing
Bobbi Brown Stonewashed Nudes Palette
Etude House Single Eye Shadow in White
Stila Eye Shadow in Moonlight
NYX Blush in Spice
Wet n Wild in Retro Pink

Other products I've used but not in the photo:
Natural Rice Oil Absorbing Powder
IN2IT Eye Brow Kit
Maybelline Volum Express Mascara
NYX Lip Liner in Rose
MAC Sheer Vision Gloss

 

The STILA in Moonlight did a lot of brightening in my eyes. I really love this eye shadow. I just used this in my inner corners and tear duct areas. It is so pigmented; creamy and very sparkly.

Smile always and stay tuned.

TUTORIAL: HOW I RESTORED MY DRIED-UP BOBBI BROWN GEL EYE LINER

 Bobbi Brown Long-Wear Gel Eye Liner in Sepia Ink.

I thought I cannot use again my Bobbi Brown Gel Eye Liner since it got dried up already. But I never bother to think to shoot it into the trash bin. Thank God I have this attitude of keeping stuffs instead of throwing it away. I got excited to know that I can still restore my dried gel liner or I can still extend its shelf life when I stumbled on Dollface Cosmetics site and have seen the simple tutorial on restoring your gel liner.

All you need to do is get the following:
o Eye Drops
o Toothpick or Popsicle stick
o Tissue 
o Of course, your dried-up gel liner.

Step 1. Do not face towards electric fan or avoid the windy area. Open your gel liner.
See that space in the right inside the bottle? That's how dry it is.

Step 2. Using any eye drops except contact lens solutions, drop 2 or 3 depending on the dryness of your gel liner. You can add more drops as you go along if needed. In my case, I immediately give it 4 drops.
 

Step 3. Using the toothpick, I slowly smashed the gel. Mix it until the consistency gets creamy.
 

Step 4. Take the tissue and press down the gel on the bottle. Please don't use a thin issue that can easily torn coz in my case, my tissue was thin so when I pressed down the gel, I left some tiny parts of torn tissue in the gel which I easily took off using my tweezer.


Step 5. Clean the mouth of the bottle. Take the cap and close it tightly and store it in mod temperature.

Voila! You're done! Isn't it so quick and pretty easy to do? I've done it in less than 10 minutes. I really enjoyed doing it.

Time to test! I applied my restored gel liner onto my eye line starting from  the outer corner or whatever works for you. Some starts at their inner corner all the way out. Excuse my very oily lids! I didn't put any powder on prior to application hehehe. I'm just excited to test it immediately. Wow! I love again my gel liner. It's very easy to line my eyes (I used a slanted eye liner brush) and it glides on very smoothly. I'm so happy!
 
I intentionally put the gel liner all over my eye line and elongate the wing for a cat-eye look. So perfect for clubbing noh?

Later that day, my B and I headed out around 3:00 pm. I used my restored gel liner and went home after 9 hours. I am impressed on how the gel stays intact. I didn't retouch or put on face powder but I only used blotting paper on my T-zone area, so definitely the eyes area weren't seriously blotted.

 
I just applied the gel liner on the outer 3rd corner of my eye line. I just wanted to open my eyes and also coz I've worn my Wet 'n Wild Cherry Frost so I don't want to be looked like a clown hehehe.

Here's the photo of Before and After 9 hours:
 You can see the difference on my skin. The Before photo (left); not yet oily and the After 9 hours photo (right) with my very oily skin. See? The gel liner still stays intact. Doesn't smudge! It still does the same job like it was brand-new. Yey!

So, why spending another hundreds or thousand of bucks to buy for new one? Go get your dried-up gel liner and start restoring it now and SAVE money! Until my next post beauties.

Smile always and stay tuned.

Face of The Day: Warm Touches With Mettalic Silver For The Holiday

I'm back again beauties. After a very hectic schedules this week, I and B (my hubby) just stayed at home today. Mind you, we are supposed to meet someone in Makati today but it has been cancelled. Anyway, last Tuesday, after buying some Christmas presents for our family and friends and yes, despite of our busy schedule, I still got the chance to make a make-up tutorial again even late in the afternoon when we arrive hehehe. Ala lang, I just got in the mood to do so. Well, I could say that getting my face made-up is also my way of de-stressing. 

Anyway, I love how this season is making our days cold especially at night. That's why, my make-up tutorial that I will share with you today is somewhat related with our cold season now. Well, the colors I've used for this tut has warm touches; just so perfect to compliment our weather. Again, this tut is a shortcut version. I will skip to post some steps.

Mettalic Silver Holiday Make-Up
Camera set with low flash.


ooOO0OOoo
What I used:
 I only used ES26, ES20, ES3, B3 and B4 from this palette.


ooOO0OOoo
Step 1.
Prep your face (moisturize, applied foundation, set powder and lining your eye brows). Using the small concealer brush or apply the pencil directly to lids and spread it using your ring finger, I applied the NYX Jumbo Eye Pencil in Milk from the inner corner of my eyes up to almost 2/3 of my eye lids. That will serve as my base color.
NYX in Milk.
 
ooOO0OOoo
Step 2.
Using an eye shadow brush, I picked ES26 from my NYX Palette and topped it off of the eye pencil in Milk. Same as 2/3 of the lids.

ooOO0OOoo
Step 3.
Using the same eye shadow brush, I picked Wheat Shimmer Wash from my Bobbi Brown Nude On Nude Shimmer Wash palette and applied it in the middle part with outward strokes but not reaching the outer part of the lid. See the photo below. 
 Wheat Shimmer Wash (Bobbi Brown)

ooOO0OOoo
Step 4.
I applied the NYX Jumbo Eye Pencil in Slate at the outer-V, then, blend it inwards up to the crease.
 NYX in Slate

Apply a small amount of NYX in Slate and then... Blend!



ooOO0OOoo
Step 5.
Using the same eye shadow brush, I picked Mica Shimmer Wash from my Bobbi Brown Stonewashed Nude palette and I topped it in the NYX in Slate. Blend it inwards.



ooOO0OOoo
Step 6.
Using the eye blending brush, I picked the ES20 from my NYX Palette and applied it in the crease area starting from the middle lid (where you can see the Silver) sweeping it down. It will create a deep set onto my eyes. Then, using the flat eye liner brush, I picked Mahogany from my Bobbi Brown Stonewashed Nude palette and applied it starting from the outer corner of my eye up to half of my lower lash line.
 

See the result? An illusion of my deep set eyes.

ooOO0OOoo
 Step 7.
I lined my upper lash line with IN2IT liquid eye liner in Black.
And then, I picked ES3 from my NYX palette and applied it near my tear duct to brighten my eyes.

Then, After curling my lashes, I applied my Maybelline Volum Express Mascara in Black.
Okay! You're done with your eyes. That's warm to look at, eh?



ooOO0OOoo
Step 8.
Contour your cheeks. Using my flat-top bronzer brush, I picked B4 and applied it onto cheeks with downward motion (see photo on how I do it). Then, I picked B3 and applied it in the apple of my cheeks, then blend it with the B4. Don't forget your jaw line and chin.


ooOO0OOoo
Step 9.
For my lips, I applied NYX round lipstick in Tea Rose. I really love this pink shade! Then, I applied lipgloss in the middle of upper and lower lip for a lip pout effect.
 


... and Voila!
Hehehe... Just "fish-ing"...

So, there you go beauties. That's another make-up tut which is perfect for Christmas season. This is nice for a Christmas date with your beloved (BF's, partner, hubby) or get together with your family and friends or attending any parties. I'm sure this make-up will make you stand-out.

Here's another shot:
Just recently, my B said my face looked thin in almost all of my photos. Honestly, he didn't like it. He said I'm losing weight again hahaha. I took it as compliment and secretly I am happy with what he said. It means that I'm not fat hehehe, and then, maybe that's the result of contouring my cheeks...it creates illusion of hollow cheeks and c'mon... it does a nice result in photo. Do you agree?

Okay, so much for this. There's still more Holiday make-up tuts to be posted soon. 

Smile always and stay tuned. Merry Christmas!
