I'm Back!

Hey Everyone!

wow, it's been a while since i've blogged and i got to say, i miss doing it on a daily basis. there's such so much going on that i barely have enough time to update this and i do apologize about that. why you may ask? it is because i am studying for a proper makeup artist certificate (wohoo!) that way i can work as a fully pledged makeup artist, freelance or counter. :)

the next few blogs will be the looks that i have created over the time i was away. coming up with this one look that i wore to a friends recital. instead of the standard black smokey eye, i substituted this with brown, added a dash of eyeliner and lots of mascara to make your eyes pop! i'm not going to go any further than this simply because i have done this look before and just changed the colour.

i'll be uploading more gorgeous stuff soon! until then, ciao kids and stay pretty!

diablo 3 look

greetings from the passenger seat of my sisters car! she had to drop me off to work cause its diablo 3 launch!! :) woooo!!
for those gals or guys who haven't heard of diablo, its the most anticipated game of the year. its almost 10 years or so in the making and it involves saving new tristram from the clutches of the demon diablo.  i wont go into too much detail of that though. after all, you guys are just after my look for today. :)
the make up was pretty much inspired by the game cover. start with your perfect foundation base.  next add a dash of rust coloured eyeshadow on your eyelids. get a soft square blensing blush and blend inwards a soft taupe colour on your crease to give an edgier look. next take your red lipliner (yes, you read it right, the same exact one you use on your lips) and smudge it on your lids, blending it with your rust coloured eyeshadow to give it a more red tinge.
next grab your black eyeliner and apply a line near your lashes. it can be a bit thick but dont go to overboard. when this is done, take your gold eyeliner and apply a thin line on top of your black eyeliner still trying to come as close to your lash line. :) then, curl your eyelashes and apply a coat of mascara to the top and bottom lash to pop your eyes open.
lastly, apply a thin layer of bronzer on your cheeks to give you that go. leave your lips with nude lipstick or lipbalm and your set. :)
now im off to play diablo. i happen to be one of those waiting for it :)
ciao loves!!

the natural look.

hi guys!!
just got back from uni and i have an hour before i get going for fencing training. so as a little treat for you guys, heres a little make up trick to make your ordinary day face look more spectacular!
first start with your foundation base. make sure its the same shade as your skin. if you cant find one that exactly matches, get a shade darker than your skin. next, add a dash of concealer under your eyes, the side of your nose and your blemishes. blend with a brush or your fingers to even it out.
after you perfect your base, grab a pencil/gel or liquid eyeliner and make a thin line just above your eyelashes. only do the one near the eyelid, this will make your eyes pop and your eyebags less droopy. now, grab a powder brush and dab a bit of powder on top of the eyeliner to give it a bit of staying power. now curl those lashes and add a bit of mascara and viola! your eyes are giving off some good vibes.
lastly, select a nice warm colour of blush, smile in front of your mirror and swirl them on your cheeks. dab a small bit of gloss on your lips and your good to go!
total time for this look is about 10 mins. i do this alot before i go to uni and it does help bring out a bit more than just a powdered face.
thanks for reading guys! final product shown on the image. now im off to training!!
tata!
