Smokey Green and Silver: Xmas Party Eye Makeup

Hey everyone, I've been MIA for a while haven't I? :/ Sorry 'bout that! I've been insanely caught up with family matters. All my relatives are over for the holidays and I barely have any time for anything. 

This tutorial though I had to get up as soon as I could, considering Christmas and New Years is just around the corner! I had initially made a video tutorial but a lot of the video got corrupted. >.< 

So, after sobbing into my pillow for 20 minutes, i decided to make my usual photo tutorial instead! I hope it's easy to follow and that you guys like it! ^_^

What I used:

BH Cosmetic Concealer palette

Faces Transforming Eye gel as primer

Maybelline Color Tattoo in Edgy Emerald

Black eye pencil (Colossal Kajal)

L'Oreal Infallible Eyeshadow in Flashback Silver

Coastal Scents 88 palette for silver, brown and black shadow, any other brand is also fine. :)

Bourjois Clubbing liquid black liner

Max Factor 24 Hour False Lash Effect Mascara

Step 1:

Prime your lids and apply concealer to your under eyes. I also apply a lighter concealer over my brow bone for a highlight.

Step 2:

Next apply a natural crease colour before starting with the main shadows, this will give a smooth transition of colours. 

Step 3:

Apply the Edgy Emerald Color Tattoo on the inner two thirds of the eyelid. You can use any green or turquoise shadow for this.

Step 4:

On the outer one third, upto the crease, fill in the black eye pencil as shown below and smudge it slightly.

Step 5:

Use black shadow to set the black pencil and draw up the black on the outer V.

Step 6:

With the black pencil again draw a line under the lower lash line like shown below. Smudge it up into the V.

Step 7:

Work the Flashback Silver or any silver shadow into the inner corner of the eye, going down into the lower lid as well as blending into the green on the upper lid.

Step 8:

Apply black liner pencil into the water line, a slightly winged liner and apply mascara! 

You are done! ^_^

I hope this tutorial is useful for you guys! I'll try and do another New Years tutorial soon! 

I would like to know though, if you prefer these picture tutorials or would you prefer I make a video like I had initially planned for this one?

Thanks for reading!

Tutorial: Sexy Anime Eyes

Huhuhuhuuuu... A tutorial after sooo long huh? I have almost forgotten how to make one. ;__ ; But I really had to do this one! It was a request by the lovely Coral Crue! And I had left it hanging for so long! She must hate me! PLEAZ NUN HATE ME CORAL! ;A;

10 points for guessing whose eye that is! Clue: It's not a female character.:P

I actually didn't know what to call this look, gyaru has more lashes and Ulzzang not quite enough makeup. A lot of people especially on Facebook told me how Anime like my eyes looked when I wore this make up in a photo. So I decided to go with the flow! LOL! Anyway, here's the tutorial! ♥

Step 1: Put on circle lenses! It won't matter very much but they add a lot of oomph to your look. Especially if you're doing a look like this. I've put a comparison picture at the end to show you the difference in how they look.
I'm wearing Beuberry Kitten Eyes below. I bought them from Uniqso. ^-^ I'll do a review soon!

Step 2: Use a brown shimmery shade to highlight the outer third of your eyelid. Don't go beyond the eyebrow or crease. I used L'Oreal Infallible eyeshadow in Burning Black.

Step 3: On the majority of the center eyelid, use a shimmery shadow of your choice. Blend into the outer colour. I like gold or copper but here I'm using a coral gold colour. ^-^

Step 4: Using the same shadows of the upper lid, line the lower lid. Make sure the brown shadow in the corner doesn't curve with the lower lash line, keep it straight and let it meet the shadow on the upper lid.

Step 5: Use a shimmery light beige shadow and use it all overthe inner lids, both upper and lower, take it quite low from the lower lid. It adds a contour to the eyes.

Step 6: Use a gel liner or liquid liner and line the upper lash line. Start thin on the inside and thicker on the outside. Don't wing it up too much.

Step 7: Use the liner and draw a very angular thick liner on the outer third of the lower lid. Join it to the upper liner. You can already see the angles forming because of the straight lines. :)

Step 8: Joining the line you just drew, line the center of the waterline only. Then just line the very inner corner of the waterline. for a more innocent look, keave the inner corner and do only the center.

Step 9: This step is all lashes and mascara. i don't have lashes to wear so I use a lot of mascara. After curling my lashes, I put 2 coats of curling mascara and two coats of volumising to get the effect below. Lashes definitely add a lot to the look but I no has. >.<

And that's it! That's how you get angular and long anime eyes. ^-^

Here are pictures to show you the difference between no lenses and lenses with this look. Sorry about the flash used, I was doing this at night. X( The circle lenses definitely add the anime touch right? Lol!

I hope you enjoyed that tutorial and get to use it, especially for cosplay and costume parties! Thanks for reading!

Independence Day Look: Tricolour Dreams

Usually, I'm a cynical person. I have a lot to bitch about in context to my country. It's too dirty, too corrupt, polluted and populated... Sure! But this is one of the days of the year I'm just going to shut up and be happy I live here. It might not be a perfect country but it is MY country.

Anyway, enough of that... I'm never up early enough for flag hoists and speeches. This is the only way I can show my love, probably. So let me know if you like it!
Btw orange, white, blue and green are a difficult combo to work with! So, yeah. >.> If it's not pretty, I can't be blamed! LOL!

I used:

• NYX Jumbo pencil Milk
• Inglot eyeshaodw matte 366
• Sleek I-Divine Glory palette: Green, light gold, blue
• Bourjois Clubbing Contour eye pencil "Blue remix
• Coastal Scents 88 Palette: White and black and matte green
• Colossal Kajal and mascara
• Maybelline gel liner

Happy Independence Day everyone! ♥

"Arabian Nights" EOTD and Tutorial

In my Coastal Scents haul post, I had put up a look that I got really nice comments for and I even got requests for a tutorial! Thanks Rids and Puja! :D So, the awesome thing about this look was I did it completely on the fly and I've been kicking myself for not noting down how I did it! But I think I've figured it out now. ^u^
It might look a bit different from the original though.

Also, I'm too cheap to buy nice brushes, I use like three brushes:
An angled one, a flat one and various sponge blenders... Yeah.. So, you can pick what brush to use at what step, I'll give you a few hints but.. yeah.. -__- Sorry.. Teehee.

This is the look I got at the end:

It does look slightly different doesn't it? :/ I used too much green.

So lets get to the tutorial! Lotsa pics to post! ;)

Step 1:  Using a dark purple/blue eyeshadow, like the eyeliner tutorial, draw out a line right from your lower lash line, following the angle and make sure to end it before the eyebrow, then following the crease draw a curve ending just a bit before the inner corner.

Step 2: Fill in the outer 3rd of the eyelid with the same colour, also bring in the curve of the crease and fill a bit on the upper lash line.

Step 3: Fill in the middle with a lighter blue, not too light, just medium, blend it with the purple.

Step 4: With a slightly lighter blue, fill in the inner corner and blend it outwards, keep all of it within the crease.

Step 5: Sweep a turquoise green across your lash line and blend upwards.

Step 6: Sorry for the bad picture. :( Here, with a copper, gold, brown or even black pencil draw over your upper AND lower lashlines, this will basically give a base for more eyeshadows to show up brightly. :)

Step 7: Now, on top of the pencil work a green on the inner and outer sides and a gold right in the center. Then, blend them into each other but keep the gold prominent! We want that pop of gold. :)

Step 8: Put some gold shadow on the inner corners and blend it into the top and bottom lid.

Step 9: Using the medium blue shadow, draw a line along side the "wing" and blend it only slightly into the wing, it should still look defined but not a hard line.

Step 10: Over the pencil line we made on the lower lashline, sweep on some of the green on the outer and inner corner, like the top lid, and blend the outer one into the blue we made in the previous step. Also, put some gold in the center of the lower lash line and blend with the green.

Step 11: Pat on some of the gold onto the brow bone and blend it downwards in the shape shown below!

Step 12:  Tightline and darken the waterline of the eyes with a black pencil and wear LOTS of mascara and you are DONE!

That was long wasn't it? Phew!

I played around with my camera for a bit with the look, gives you an idea of how the entire face would look. I'm not wearing foundation so my skin looks bleh. I'm sorry, I'll remember to wear it next time.  

I showed this pic to my bf and he says, "You look Arabian or something." LOL! It worked!

I wore the scarf because red hair just doesn't look right with the look!

I used an orange looking bronzer from my Revlon palette for the cheeks and Blushing Brunette on my lips. I love that colour, seriously!

Make-up used:

• Coastal Scents 88 Original Palette 

I used the ticked shades

•  NYX eye/eyebrow pencil in Cuivre (copper)
• Maybelline Colossal Kajal 
• Maybelline Colossal Volum' mascara
• Revlon Bronzer (don't know the name)
• Maybelline Colorsensational lipstick "Blushing Brunette"

Sorry for putting this up so late, so much EDITING! It was a long tutorial and I hope it made sense! But I had a lot of fun doing this look, I hope you guys try it and enjoy it too! If you do, please show me, I'd love to see what you do! :D
