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.

Face Of The Day: Look Naturally Beautiful With Neutrals by Maybelline + Ystila + Nyx



Look Naturally BEAUTIFUL with Neutrals!
Today, I will share to you an FOTD I did last weekend. Using neutral colors resulted to a natural, bright make up that would be perfect to wear during daytime. Honestly, doing a natural, bright make-up would sometimes give me difficulties to have a nice result after. Lols! I'd rather do a Smokey eye make-up coz I find it easier to do since you can just put 1 or 2 dark eye shadows and blend it away, and then you're done hehehe.

Okay, so today, I really tried hard to make a tutorial for a natural, bright make up for my friend's request. She said she will try my FOTD for her every day's work. Remember, you just need neutral colors of eye shadow for this.

Here's what I used in this tutorial:

(Step 1) 
Apply Etude House BB Magic Cream onto face and neck;
(Step 2)
Set your face with Natural Rice Oil Absorbing Powder 
(It will set accordingly to your skin color after a minute).
 (Step 3)
Define your brows. I'm using Maybelline Studio Eye Definist.
(Step 4)
Apply NYX Eye Shadow Base prior to eye shadow application.
 (Step 5)
Using my Maybelline Expertwear Trio, I picked the lightest shade and apply it to my entire lid up to the brow bone.
 (Step 6)
Then, I picked the medium brown shade and apply it from outer part of my lid up to my eye socket. Do gentle strokes inward.
(Step 7)
I picked the darkest shade in the Trio and make my outer-V. Feather inwards.
Note: I added more shade to make my outer-V darker.
(Step 8)
Line your upper lash line using IN2IT Liquid Eye Liner. You can make one (1) thin line but then, I opted to make it looking thicker, so I made it a 2 winged line. It's your choice anyway.
Then, I used any matte eye shadow and line my lower lash line. Start from outer to the middle of your lash line.

(Step 9)
Curl your lashes. Apply 2 coats of IN2IT mascara.
(Step 10)
Brighten your eyes more using an Ystila eye shadow.


Apply it thinly in the corner of your eyes to make your eyes pop.
 (Step 11)
I am using Bobbi Brown blusher in Pink Clay.
 (Step 12)
Line your lips with NYX lip liner in Rose. Then apply NYX round lipstick in Tea Rose.
You're done!

It's just so easy, right? This FOTD made me used my Maybelline Expertwear that has been in my drawers for ages now, lols! I accidentally broke the closing tap of it and so I just keep it then. Hahaha good thing I made this tutorial, I happened to see and realized some of the shades that are much worth to try for.

Here are some of the takes. 

Okay. I hope this tut (tutorial) helps and you enjoyed reading. More upcoming make-up tuts to post.

Smile always and stay tuned.
