Pictures of me! + Nail Polish of the day

Ok so some familiar faces - again, in case you're missing~

I finally decided tt I'm soo slack these days on makeup part, so I woke up pretty early, showered, grabbed my makeup and smear it all over mah face. Hahaha..

Not that you could see much of makeup though, but I'm still wearing my pajamas. :D

Slightly clearer here. I used naked palette for my eyes.

Glasses! This is around 7 hours after applying the makeup? I'm in daddy's office.

And then, on the way home, my bf had been laughing at my nails. He said its ridiculous because colors are coming off and I'm so lazy to re-paint~~~

So. I decided to remove the polish and re-paint it :D w00t!

Before..... Ok now don't laugh I'm sure your nails look like this sometimes too! :D

First coat. Ok horrible.

YAY! FINISHEDDDDDD. 2nd coat

This polish is by Revlon - Minted

I love the color! But its not the easiest nail polish to paint. Seriously, if this comes out in 2 days I'm going to kill myself.

Anyway, I was so happy of the color etc and I went to show off to my bf. Till he says..........

'HAHAHA this looks like the color of the wall in my room!!!'

Fuck.

Christmas Look #1 - Dior holiday palette + Hair styling tip for short hair

Hello! So, I was looking at my makeup 'counter' / corner in my room, and then I saw my Dior 2009's Holiday's Collection pouch.

Since this product comes with a pouch, most of time I'd just happily miss it and go for NAKED palette etc. I'd forget that this is actually filled with makeup goodies! So I thought.....

Why not do a makeup look using that palette! :D So this is what I came out with. Since the colors in the set is pretty light, it didn't show up as good in the photo (Partially because I'm really not good with cameras!). BUT TRUST ME! This look is AMAZING in reality!

I used the gold color in the palette all over my eyelid, and blended the dark bronze shade at the outer corner of my eyes.

I then used the pinky blush in the pouch, and finish my look with Rimmel lipstick in 007. (A gorgeous shade with gold shammer!)

This is what I did to my hair. Since its really short, I could only pin them to the side slowly.

Side.

I curled my hair with a 1 inch curler iron, then added texture by using strong hold hair clay. Rub the clay in between your fingers and just run through your hair, and then SQUEEZE your hair upwards. :) Pin your hair in place, and. You're done!

Ok and I found a few photos I took using my laptop. Better view of the hair since I could see what I'm doing using the computer. With my camera, I just had to keep trying till I get a photo that looks alright. Hehe.

XOXO

Photoshoot - Photos out!

Hello everyone, I'm sharing some 'faces' of the photo shoot last week! :D Remember? This is the shoot done with the 3 lovely girls! And, I just got the photos from the photographer. :)

Inspiration? HOLIDAYS! :D :D :D

Debbie needs to attend a birthday party for a grandmom after the shoot, so I was nice to her, I gave her a pretty wearable look. Well, more of a bridal type of makeup actually!

Added gold glitters to the inner half of her eyes and also, a rine stone at the inner corner of her eyes. :) Such a lucky girl!! Her boyfriend was with her, and he seriously can not keep his eyes off her! :P

Grace was my first face to do that day. And she was super scared when I'm done with her makeup. Reason - I blended a very blight gold color and a dark navy blue on her eyes. Which are 2 really extreme colors! Not only are they directly opposite in the color wheel, one is bright and one is really dark! PLUS! I added a purple color to her lips, together with purple blush. So she probably thinks she'd scare everyone.

Well all I could say is that a makeup look takes you time to get use to it. Because you look at your bare face/ the normal way you apply your makeup. So when you see someone new - you - , you panic and wonder who this is, and how unlike you, you are. So you need some time to get use to the new look.

But for everyone else who sees you the first time, they don't see the changes. All they see is how gorgeous, eye catching you are. :) That is also why sometimes you may not agree with your makeup artist but others really love your new look!

Bernice. I really love the way she look here. Very sensual. I went for a deep dark purple look, with some dark purple flecks on her eye lid. And some gold shadow in the inner corner of her lower lash line. Went for a pretty 'unblended' look, which looks really different from a typical smokey/dark eyes. :)

Signing off with this gorgeous looking photo! I really love the color combination of this photo!

- Slightly blue toned pink paired with yellow toned background. and earthy green shades. Stayed true to how I 'painted' Grace's face! :D

XOXO

Photoshoot - Model's Look

Hello, I'm showing case of the makeup I've done on my beautiful models last week! :)

As mentioned, I did their makeup in the dark, so I really wasn't able to see well. D: Luckily their looks don't sway too far away from what I pictured!! :D

This is Grace, a very cheery, pretty girl. She already had a full face makeup on already that day. However, when I see her, she did not have much contouring done on her face. Neither did she had much blusher and eyeshadow color on. Well that means she might appear washed out/'flat' on photos. Which is not what we want because they're shooting for a blogshop collection! :)

What I did was to really just add on the bronzer and a little bit of blusher. I also darkened her eyeshadow. Since Grace doesn't have much double eyelid space, I tried to add on definition through creating a 'fake' crease, which is what you could see on her in the photo above.

Products used:

Eyes: Wet&wild eyeshadow palette - Comfort zone + Urban decay naked palette - Sin

Face: Canmake bronzer; can't remember the blush, I just grabbed a random one that day! Sorry!!

Lips: Revlon soft nude

Debby is a extremely kind looking lady! And I she really is alright! :D She had half face makeup done when I met her. Revlon colorstay foundation and some eyeshadow on.

Now I want her to look slightly fiercer, so I tried to create a little more arch on her eyebrow. Didn't do a super obvious change on her this time though because I didn't have the proper tool then. All I had was a brown powder and a very light brow pencil. (I went to this shoot last minute! So I only had a few items with me to work with!)

Also, Debby has a very slim face which makes her look really kind especially that she also have slightly droopy eyes. (Now don't get me wrong, Debby is extremely beautiful with no makeup on too!) So instead of contouring to make her face even skinnier, what I did was to contour upwards, that is to say, we make her face appear shorter/rounder.

As for her eyes, what I did was to really just bring the liner upwards so she'd look more confident. I also blend the eyeshadow upwards so she have a rounder eye shape.

Products:

Eyes: Wet&wild palette- Comfort zone

Cheeks: Canmake bronzer, her own blush, ELF studio blush - Twinkle pink

Lips: OCC liptar - Femme topped with Revlon colorstay lipgloss - Hotpink

Bernice is the only one who appeared with totally no makeup on. She is gorgeous! However, her skin is really pale when I see her in the dark. So the first thing I did was to find a foundation that is much darker than her, with a slightly orange undertone. I apply that on her jawline, and blended upwards. Also applied it beside her brows to create shadow. But the most important thing here is that I'm giving her a slightly sunkissed look. I also contoured her nose with that darker shade.

Bernice looks so sweet! And I really want to keep it. What I did was to thicken her brows slightly, giving it a little more arch. As for her eyeshadow, I tried to elongate her eye shape because her eyes is pretty big already! :D

As for her lips, Bernice told me she was afraid of bright colors. So I gave her one of the brightest colors I could find in my kit that day. :P And I told her she looked great with bright colors!

Products:

Eyes: Wet&wild palette - Blue Had Me At Hello

Cheeks: I mixed different shades of foundation for contouring; topped with a little bit of ELF studio blush - twinkle pink

Lips: L'Oreal Color Riche lipcolor - Volcanic, Sally Hansen Laqouer Shine lipgloss - Ginger

Another shoot with them coming next week! I'm definitely spending quite some time thinking of face charts/ louder look for them. Stay tuned okay! :D

XOXO

Makeup Ideas: Dark smokey/vampy eyes + Review: Ichikami shampoo

Showing case some of the looks I've done on my models recently!! :D

This is one of my favorite looks of all time! However, definitely not the most wearable look here. You'd scare people off literally! :P

Special thanks to my model, Bianche, and Jaiver as my photographer!

I love how Bianche looked in this photo. Very sexy, sensual, yet feminine.

BTW, guess whats up with the black background? :P Its me with my black blazer!!! Haha we were having this shoot outdoors actually. But I demanded for a black background. So I went behind Bianche with my black blazer, made Javier shoot it. Extremely happy with the effeect! :)

Products used:

Eyes: Maybelline Gel Eyeliner - Black; Any black eyeshadow, I can't remember which black I used; Foundation for the brow bone

Cheeks: Jemma Kid Show Stopper Water Resistant Bronzer; Milani Blush - Sunset Beach; The body shop luminizer

Lips: NYX Honey mixed with a little bit of concealer.

I hope you like this look as much as I do!

Next up, a short review on Ichikami Shampoo I got in thesamplestore order:

What I got was a 12g sachet; and it lasted me around 3 washes since my hair is pretty short. I love how this product smells! Really smells like Sakura home fragrance sold in Jupiter Fragrance store. Love love love it! Apart from the nice smell, it made me hair really clean as well. I didn't experience any itchiness or any more dandruff than what I'd get when I use anti dandruff shampoo! My hair felt soft and smooth as well.

Conclusion: Definitely getting this when if I'm going to Watsons! I am so happy I found this shampoo. X)

Anyway, stay tuned for tmr's post! Will be uploading the photos of the beautiful models I met during my last wk's photoshoot! :D :D

Fall makeup look

Hi, today I'm doing a fall makeup look. This is the season that really draws me into darker tones - purples, grey-brown, reds, very dull colors.

Yet I came out with a pretty bright lipstick look. My inspiration was definitely the Christmas! This color reminds me of the holiday, happiness despite the cold whether during fall.

Is is one of those looks I'd never dared to wear in the past. I wouldn't have tried anything red, anything too bright or dark. But you really got to experiment with different shades everyday. Who knows! Red could be your best color!

Eyes: Urban decay NAKED palette: Darkhorse & Hustle all over the top and bottom eyelid; creep for outer V and lower lid; sin+virgin for inner corners; smog around the center of top lids

Cheeks: BareMinerals Faux tan bronzer, Milani baked blush - Luminoso

Lips: NYX Eros + L.A colors Blackberry

XOXO

OOTD for office ladies + Styling tips with scarf

Fall is coming, and I gt so inspired that I bought 2 new scarfs! And... I thought I'll share my styling tips it with you! :D

(Now yes, yes I know theres no fall in Singapore, but shopping centres are so cold!!)

I paired my scarfs with a classic office wear today:

Basic white top: H&M

Black bodycon skirt: G2000 (I think)

1. Green Scarf. This green color scarf reminds me of Christmas! It is of the exact color as Christmas trees! It is such a neutral color so it is perfect for office!

In this photos, I just coil the scarf around my neck. A tip here though, try not to make the scarf too tight around your neck otherwise it'd look soo stiff. Also, show some of your neck so we kiss our round faces goodbye!

Hehe trying to get friendly with my flower here.

Full body shot: I paired my attire with a pair of black wedges because I only want the scarf to stand out, so keeping anything else muted. Also, black heels could never go wrong. Right? :)

To accentuate the green scarf even more, I paired my attire with a dark maroon colored belt. Since they're contrasting colors, adding a red belt also balance the entire look a little. You could try wearing a maroon colored heels if you don't have a belt.

Haha nw u know the set up in my tiny house.

Yellow scarf: I wasn't sure if I'd like this one at first, but upon trying it on, I FELL IN LOVE!

This scarf has gt its colors nicely balanced. If it were just yellow, it'd clash with my skin tone. But adding a touch of purple is great! I feel that this scarf makes such a nice pop of color for a dull office wear!

Full body shot. Again, I go with the black heels because I don't like the idea of having too much color in this set of office wear. You still want to look serious! Right? (:

Well we could never miss out the makeup part!! Because it is my favorite.

I didn't have much idea on the exact makup look I was going for, but I know for sure that I dont want anything too earth toned. Now office life is getting boring with just the earthy shades!

I used Wet&wild coloricon eyeshadow collection in Petal Pusher for this eye makeup. But any purple eyeshadow quad would do. Just make sure that the purples doesn't contain too much pink undertones.

I went pretty light on my cheeks and lips because I feel that a office lady would look a little too fierce if red bold lips and they might appear too much of an act cute with hot pink cheeks.

Cheeks: ELF studio blush in twinkle pink, Stila bronzing powder

Lips: I suck at remembering what I used!! gosh, but I think it is Revlon colorburst lipstick in candy pink, topped with Sallyhansen Lacquer Shine in Ginger.

I hope you enjoy the post and had a wonderful wkend!

XOXO

The Sample Store 'Haul'

SO! I got some samples from thesamplestore! :D

Products I've got:

1. Bioderma Makeup remover. I've heard RAVES about this product and not sure where I could find it! Glad to see this sample popping out and OF COURSE i HAD to get it!

2. Lolita Mineral Makeup. Well I have no idea which company this thing is from etc, so I just google searched it. Still found nothing much, but anyway I got their oil control powder sample just to try it out. :P

3. Ichikami sampoo&conditioner. Been wanting to get the full sized item forever!! However I've got the most sensitive scalp, and I get dandruff like crazy if I use the wrong shampoo. So I'm glad I got a sample of this to try out first. Apparently this product is Sakura scented! Can't wait to use it.

4. Lioele Beyond solution bb cream. Hehe I got this also because I just cant get enough of makeup! :P

Anyway I'm really pleased with thesamplestore! I got my items within 4 days of my order, and I only paid $3 for everything, inclusive postage.

Stupid Bellabox, I've yet to get my box now!? And I paid $15. Apparently its with the post office already though. Got to call them again on Monday I guess. I mean why could thesamplestore deliver my items so quickly when I only paid $3, while Bellabox, which is supposed to be more high class took more than 2 wks! What is the point of me paying 5 times more then. Give me service that is 5 times better too!

ANYWAY

More photos like this coming tmr!!! :D

Will be showing some scarfs I got paired with this outfit!

I'll also do some reviews on the products I gt frm thesamplestore once I tried them out. :D

Photoshoot

Sharing some of my fav makeup looks! Or rather photos. (:

Done with my face. Now something new......

Tadah! :D I went for a makeup session for a photoshoot earlier! Photographer sent me a few photo as preview. Shall update more once he sent me everything!

I am so happy that everything turned out pretty good! I only slept 1.5 hours yesterday night! Had entire day of lessons and went straight to the shoot. Almost decided to pull out because I was so sleepy. But I'm glad I went. xD

Models are gorgeous! The only pity is that the studio we went to doesn't have proper lights. I couldn't even see what I was doing with the model's makeups! So happy that I didn't mismatch foundation color!! Feeling slightly nervous though, pray hard I did nothing too wrong in the dark!

Anyway stay tuned! I'll let you guys know the website of this blogshop once the collection is out!

XOXO

2011 Halloween Look #2

I came out with another Halloween look for this October! :)

Again, nothing fancy, just using tools you already have. - foundation, eyeshadows, gel eyeliner, lipstick.

Inspiration: A old, dirty doll.

Spare me if the photos are not the best! It is really hard to get good lighting in my room!

I stippled on the foundation instead of brushing them in to press down my eyebrows. Contoured my face using dark grey eyeshadow together with my usual bronzer. Dark grey color would only work if you are creating something old and ragged. I wouldn't advice grey as cheek color for daily makeup! :X

Then drew a fake brow much higher than my original brows using gel liner. I used my foundation to sculpt my lips such that it look slightly smaller, then applied a dark red color.

I then used grey eyeshadow to brush through my face to give that dirty look. As for the eyes, you really only need black eyeshadow! :)

Super easy look.

Ta dah! Full outfit. Again, sorry for the background, my room isn't that big after all! :)

Are you going to dress up for halloween? Or would you stay at home.... just like me. :P

XOXO
