LOTD: Teal & Purple Eyes

the makeup blogette — Sat, 31 Jul 2010 22:57:04 PDT

Hi hi,

Decided to show my coloured eyeshadows some love today. When I do colors on my eyes, I always lean towards the blues and greens, pretty much the cooler tone shades, because I find any warm toned colors kind of make my eyes look bruised. Not a nice look. And I am just trying to incoporate as many complimenting colors as possible in this look, which explains why I am using 5 eyeshadows instead of my usual 2 or 3 colors.

On the rest of the face I am using:

Foundation: (All MUFE) Mat Velvet+, Concealer Palette No1, Super Matte Loose Powder

Cheeks: MAC Daft Pink

Lips: Revlon Nude Attitude, and MAC English Accents Lipglass

Liner & Lashes: MAC Waveline fluidline, Ardel 120 lashes, UD Mascara

Eyeshadows: Omega used to fill in my brows, Sky Blue on inner lids, White Frost to highlight, Parrot on centre of the lids, Indian Ink on outer corners, Aquadisiac to blend the colors, Seedy Pearl on inner corner for brightening effect

I also used mainly Sigma eye brushes to apply and blend the eyeshadows.

That's all! Hope you like this look!

I have a wavy hair 'tutorial' review kind of entry coming up next. Stay tuned!

Thanks for reading!

Sugarsweet Inspired: Go Clubbing with Aqua eyes / Pink eyes

the makeup blogette — Sun, 05 Apr 2009 04:07:37 PDT

Just 2 quick looks which I did using colors which are in the Sugarsweet collection. Most of the colours are repromotes or permanent, and they are also mostly colors which you can easily dupe.

The first one, Club eyeshadow with Aquadisac (which is a dupe for Aquavert in the Sugarsweet). I also mixed a little Parrot eyeshadow with the Aquadisac, which contains a tad too much glitter for my liking. For highlight, I used Dazzlelights which is a dupe for the Sugar Shot eyeshadow.

On the face, I used a new liquid foundation which I bought at the drugstore earlier today, it is by this brand called Silkygirl. And it costs me S$12.90. I bought it in 01 Light Beige? Not sure... but the texture is pretty light, and the color suits me pretty well.

I also used Pink Porcelain MSF and Blonde MSF on the cheeks.

And for the Lips, I used Lollipop Loving' which is also re-promoted in the Sugarsweet collection.

The next look, everything is the same, except that I used Sushi Flower instead of the aqua colour. The dupe, I think, is Dear Cupcake from the Sugarsweet collection.

That's all, and thanks for reading!

Look of the day: Aqua Marina

the makeup blogette — Thu, 23 Oct 2008 06:49:58 PDT

This is a look I recreate from one of the best YouTube 'gurus', her name is SarahVictor, she is beautiful and has amazing make up skills. She did a look recently which is called Aqua Marina. I really like this look because of the darker colour used on the inner corners on the lids, which is something totally different from what I usually do.

Here is her tutorial:

And this is what I came up with. I used mainly my Heatherette Trio 1 for the Aqua colour, and the darker colour, I used Plumage eyeshadow.

See what I mean by the foundation being too dark for my skin? I think I look tan! On my lips, I used Oyster Girl lipglass on top of Up the Amp lipstick.

How am I going to make my MUFE foundation work out?

I will mix the foundation with a lighter shade of concealer, like my MAC moisture concealer (perhaps in NC20 or even 15), to lighten the colour.
