Purple

I cut my own hair last week, mainly because I was bored. It's a disaster, but easily covered up. Note to self: go to saloon instead next time.

For this look, I used Stage Photo Pro Foundation in 08 take 7. That's the second darkest from Photo Pro line, but it's a tad light on my skin. Gosh, I tanned so much.

I hardly brought eyeshadow that low under my eye, because I'm scared it would overwhelmed my small eyes. But it seems to work in the pics.

p/s: Sorry that I hardly reply comments the past weeks. It's been hectic with trip to Bako and stuff. It get worse with my netbook caught virus and practically useless at the moment. Luckily, I had my files back up-ed earlier.

Fail fail fail!

This post is for laugh and giggles...ROFL

Some green and black.

 Practicing two different placements for the same color.

The first two pic are for dramatic look.

The last two are for everyday look.

Smokey Brown Using ELF Brightening Eye Color in Day 2 Night

Day 2 Night IMO is one of the best palette ELF gotta to offer. The color pigmented and easy to blend.

Luxe - day to nite

Yesterday, before I removed my makeup in the Luxe Fortuna post, I decided to try making the eyes more dramatic while using the exact same palette, calling each Day or Nite look.

Day look objective is to make the eyes look fresh without actually being obvious. While Nite look is sort of screaming for attention.

Since my lid hooded/folded heavily, whenever I do 'Day' or simple look, I would focus all the dark or strong color on the main lid that hidden when I open my eyes. And then, I used color that is quite close to skin color on the crease and blend it upwards. Other than that, eyeliner applied thinly and nothing applied to the lower lashline.

For 'Night' or dramatic look, I bring the dark or strong color higher, above my natural crease. This way, the dark or strong colour would still look obvious even when I close my eyes. Highlight under the brow also applied heavier to balance out with the lid and crease. Eyeliner applied thicker, eyeshadow and mascara also applied to the lower lash line. I'm not sure if I make sense in this post, but this inspire me for a tutorial post later.

Just practicing - Dramatic Green and Neutral Brown

Just practicing eyeshadow application. Trying a dramatic green look and subtle neutral brown look.

Not EOTD: Purple

Just experimenting with purple and hot pink, not sure if this is my kind of look. Gonna try different way next time.

Tag: Hollywood celebrity inspired makeup look - Cyndi Lauper

I didn't noticed I was tagged by Yana to do Hollywood celebrity inspired makeup look. I'm not in anyway a beauty guru, more to a padawan XD (sorry for geeky reference). Pepper being Pepper, I choose to do Cyndi Lauper. I feel comfortable doing Cyndi's 80s look than doing the current glamour look of Hollywood celebrities. Oh ya, before someone says Cyndi is not a Hollywood celebrity but a singer, she's an actress too. Just check out her entry in Wikipedia to see her filmography.

(pic source : Wikipedia)

Since I'm still in 80s makeup fever I pick Cyndi Lauper's look from her album cover for the song Time After Time. The look is typical of 80s look. People literally paint their face with bright colours, in this case, bright orange eyes and hot pink cheeks.

So, my interpretation limited to all that I have in my makeup stash. So I couldn't help not making it looking exactly like Cyndi's pic. To begin with, the orange I have is far more intense and more shimmery than the one observed in the picture above. There are lot more difference, so let the picture do the talk.



So yeah, that's the inspired look from Cyndi Lauper. I'm done with the tag, yippie!

Not EOTD - Purple and Green

'Not EOTD' is tag for eye looks that experimental, which means not the kind look I put on for daily activity.

Not EOTD - Bright Colors

An experiment with bright colours. The eyeliner, ugh! I hate it. I'm still sucks with doing winged eyeliner. As usual, need more practice.
