Video Tutorial: Natural Eye Makeup

Recently I have been doing videos with more colors, so I thought it would be appropriate to do something more simple this time round. This is a really easy look, so apologies to those who find this too simple =) I have come to realise the amazing thing about what lining the upper waterline does to my eyes. Not only my makeup looks natural, but the liners also make my eyes look "awake" and defined. I also believe that for natural eye makeup, I need to put more effort in applying my mascara so that my eyes will look brighter, with that 'flirtatious' quality. *laugh* I hope you will find this simple tutorial useful.

Video Tutorial: Barbie Doll Look

I didn't expect myself to be uploading this video so soon... but because I was so excited about this look, I finished editing it yesterday! So here it is!

I really had lots of fun doing this look, as I seldom wear bright color lipsticks and I like this lipstick from Laneige a lot! I think I have gotten the lighting and all better this time. What I need to do next is to figure out how to film this in HD. Managed to do it by accident when I was doing the Princess Party Look ^^;

ENJOY!

Fancl Perfect Washing Set (Ballet) Limited Edition

I spotted this cute limited edition washing set from Fancl last week when I was shopping at Isetan. As my Shu Uemura cleansing oil is going to hit the bottom soon and I had SGD18 cash rebates in my Fancl membership card, I decided to get this lovely set.

This set consists of a Mild Cleansing Oil (60ml) and a Facial Washing Powder (25g), together with a new foaming ball which is supposed to produce more foam then the old one.

I simply love the ballet drawings on the bottles!! It only retails at SGD28. Who could resist that??

Comes in a neat blue box

Go grab it before the stock runs out!!

Coming Soon (Tutorial) : Barbie Doll Look

I will be uploading this tutorial hopefully by the 2nd week of October!

LOTD: Maquillage Duo Glow Eyes GR273 + Double Brow Creator GY921

My look of the day for yesterday. Hmmm... used 2 different cameras, so lighting and quality a bit different...

THIS IS THE LOOK

Eyes:

1) Maquillage Duo Glow Eyes in GR273

2) Makemania Chip-gradation Liner in BK

3) M.A.C Eye Kohl in Fascinating

4) Esprique Precious Heart-Graphical Mascara in BK#001

5) Majolica Marjoca Curl Curl Toward the Sky

6) Stella fashion lashes in AS8901

Brows:

1) Maquillage Double Brow Creator in GY921

Cheeks:

1) M.A.C Mineralize Blush in Conjure Up

Lips:

1) Maybelline Watershine Collagen Gloss in P31

Maquillage Duo Glow Eyes In GR273. This is the main product for eyes I used for the look. Comes with a sponge applicator which can be kept in a 'secret compartment' of the jar cover. I prefer to use my finger to apply though.

I used the light green of the Duo Glow Eyes all over the eyelid, then applied the darker green over the crease. Then I lined my upper and lower lash line with Makemania Chip-Graduation Liner (black), and highlighted my brow bow area and inner corner of eyes with M.A.C Eye Kohl (white). I also used the M.A.C white liner to line my lower waterline to make my eyes look bigger. Finally I finished up with blusher and pink lip gloss.

As for brow, I just purchased this lovely eyebrow pencil+powder from Maquillage as well.

You have to buy the holder, pencil and brow powder separately. Holder: SGD28

I lost the receipt for the pencil and the powder and I can't remember how much they were. But the whole brow creator cost around SGD70+.

This is how the 3 pieces look when assembled together.

The pencil is flat for easy drawing.

The powder is contained in the cap on the right side of pic so when you put the sponge applicator into the cap you get the brow powder out.

I got this in GY921. It is not very grey but more of taupe!

The pencil is suited for drawing the arch of your brow whereas the powder is supposed to create a natural finish for the head of the eyebrow. I love this brow creator! 2 in 1. Very convenient!

I love what I got from Maquillage.

Video Tutorial: Purple Jewel Smokey Eyes

Today I bring you my video tutorial - Purple Jewel Smokey Eyes!

Apologies for my big & small eyes ^^; Just got off work and I started filming, so had more problems with my uneven double eyelids than usual. Hopefully that will not affect your impression of this look! I think this look is the type that either you love it or you hate it =D

I think this look is suitable for formal dinners or functions. Personally I wore this look to a friend's wedding. I wore a black tube dress and silver strappy heels!

I am still trying to get the lighting and everything right for my video tutorials. For all my videos so far, I have tried filming them at different parts of my house, different times of the day... (still haven't found the perfect place) Please give me your honest feedback so that I could improve! I hope the steps are clearer this time, as compared to my last tutorial 'Princess Party Look', which you can watch it here
