My CNY LOTD

My CNY look was rather similar to the earlier LOTD I posted. A cooler version. I won't label it as "sweet" though. Most importantly, I only spent ~20mins on this look!

I didn't like Skin79 Vital Orange BB Cream + YSL Matt Pressed Powder No.1, which makes my complexion look kinda cakey. I much prefer Skin79 with Maybelline Dream Matte Powder in Sand Medium 0-1. Apart from that, I love the rest of the products I used for this look! Will be reviewing some of 'em real soon. Stay tuned (:

Subtle Cat Eye Look

I took a considerable time doing this makeup look. More than an hour, in fact. I spent most of the time doing my eye makeup, ensuring it was wearable enough (before I head out for the Keratinology event).

Yes, I finally used Essence I ♥ ROCK gloss eye pencil! I lined the upper and lower lashline thicker than usual, extending a little beyond the eye. As it was supposed to be subtle and wearable, I didn't make the line thicker towards the outer end. Then, I applied Stila Mineral Matte Eye Shadow in Batura (a dark gray shade) over the liner as it smudges on its own.

For the entire lid area (above the liner) and lower lashline (over the liner), I applied Maquillage VI144 (a lilac shade with silver micro-shimmer bits).

I literally spammed 3 different mascaras for my lashes - Maybelline Colossal Volum' Express Waterproof Mascara (to hold the curls), Majolica Majorca Lash Expander Frame Plus Mascara BK999 (to comb the lashes) & Heroine Make Volume & Curl Mascara (for volumized and glossy black lashes). That explains the time taken for this look yea. I like to experience with different mascara combi, to achieve my desired look. Some mascaras don't work wonders on its own.

For the eyebrows, I used the Mio Piccolo Automatic Eyebrow Pencil MB. I like how the color looks on me. Sad to say, it ain't long-lasting. I had to briefly touch-up the brows after merely 3 hours. *DOTS DOTS*

For overall contour, I used the bronzer part of Pop Beauty Cheeky Cake in Beach Beauti. I applied that under the cheek bones from the hairline to the apple of cheeks. Next, I applied Alobon Bake Blush 03 over. Finally, I used MAC By Candlelight MSF as a highlight just above the blush/bronzer area.

The base makeup products I used:- Kevin Beautymaker DNA Extreme Whitening Foundation (Natural) & YSL Matt Pressed Powder No.1. I did some minor concealing with Kevin Beautymaker BB Mineral Concealing Cream.

I lightly brushed Kevin Beautymaker Bright Eye Pressed Powder under my eyes, to brighten up my peepers.

Last but not least, Laneige Snow Crystal Moisture Lipstick SYR02 Nude Beige on pre-balmed lips.

Me like this look on me :D

The next LOTD will be for CNY. I'm thinking simple sweet look?

What's gonna be your look for CNY?

LOTD: Gelly Brown

It's been 2 weeks since I last blogged about my LOTD. Think I'd not been THAT experimental with colors. Hmm.. I should incorporate more colors in my LOTD-s, yes? This time, another brown themed LOTD (again). Btw I wore this look to the Murad Hybrids Event.

The main product (for eyes) I used was Kate Gel Shadow BR-1. I would describe the color as more of a copper brown with red undertones. I layered on Lunasol Nature Color Eyes 04 Nature Beige. For my brows, the usual Majolica Majorca Customize Sword Cut BR771, then KATE Eyebrow Color LB-1. To complete the eye makeup, I used Kiss Me Heroine Make Smooth Liquid Eyeliner (1 of my favorite liquid liners), as well as Maybelline Pulse Perfection Mascara. FYI, I didn't use any eye primer.

MAC MSF Smooth Merge for my cheeks. It's more of a highlight than a full-on blusher. The coverage is buildable but too much will look overly frosty. I do like this MSF pretty much. And I got this for a steal :x

For my face, I used Lancôme Color Ideal Foundation. I forgot what's the shade but it's darker than my skin tone. I applied the foundation after using YSL Complexion Enhancer Oil Free No.2 Rose Pearl as base. Chacott Finishing Powder 753 to set the foundation.

Au naturel lips! :p

Dots. I looked as if I got xiaolongbaos x2, in my mouth o>.<o

Any looks you'll like me to do? Let me know (:
