TUTORIAL : GOLDEN MOON MAKEUP LOOK

How are you guys?!

Today, I’m going to share you another makeup tutorial. Actually this is my makeup look when I celebrated Chinese New Year’s Eve. As we know, 2016 is a year of the Monkey, so this is a monkey’s makeup look, LOL. NO lah... I think this makeup look can be used for party or night makeup not only for CNY’s eve, though I used gold colored which is very identical for CNY celebration. Anyway, gold represents the prosperity and fortune in Chinese culture, also it is the lucky color for this year.  Well, actually gold colored makeup never die, so I decided to make this tutorial. I call it Golden Moon makeup look#cough...

I must stop bla bla blaa... Let’s start!

FACE :

I should give my skin more moistness since it’s getting colder during this rainy days. I keep the cotton pads soaked with toner on my face, especially on both of my cheeks. It helps me a lot to moisten my skin.

Apply concealer to brighten eyebags and cover up blemishes. Next is using foundation or BB cream. Here, I’m using my Laneige BB Chusion. Gently pat it to the entire of your face and don’t forget your neck too. I finish it with translucent loose powder.

To add sparkling look, I use glittery powder as highlight, focus on my cheekbones.

EYES :

As I mentioned before, I use golden eyeshadow on the whole eyelids and outer ½ of bottom lash line. Apply it lightly. Then draw a thick eye cat using brown eyeliner. I secondly apply the shimmering gold eyeshadow, thicker on the center of eyelid. For the eyeliner to stick out, re-apply a gel liner on the outer rim of the eye and as long as your under waterline. Draw straight line on the outer of your lower lash line using the same brown eyeliner. Give a highlight effect to the eye by applying pearly eyeshadow on the inner corner of the eye.

Draw your eyebrow following your natural eyebrow shape. Then apply brown eyebrow mascara. I like to use lighter eyebrow color than my hair color. Today I chose brown redish color.

I’m going to add bling bling to the fake lashes. Here’s the tip :

Put a thin layer of glue on the fake lashes (you can use a clear eyelashes glue). Then scatter glitter or sparkling eyeshadow powder over it and shake it off. Taadaa! Bling bling eyelashes is ready to used.

Use your bling bling eye lashes carefully and curl it together with your natural eyelashes. Apply mascara. Done.

LIPS :

Since I want my eye makeup to pop out, I chose a soft color lipstick. I used Innisfree Cream Mellow No. 3. It has cream coral color and creamy texture. Complete the lip makeup with clear or soft pink lipgloss.

For finishing touch, use a pink cream blusher on your apple cheeks. You can also use your lipstick as your blusher as well by dabbing it on your cheeks.

Your makeup is done! Yes, it’s so simple, right?

I let my hair apart and brought it to the one side. For cute look, I used a flower hairpin. And yeah, I still used Cheongsam although it’s not a CNY’s day anymore, hahahaa.

Products I used:

Face:

Skinfood Rice Concealer Tip

Laneige BB Cushion Pore Control

Innisfree No Sebum Mineral Powder

Etude Lovely Cookie Blusher - #2 Strawberry Choux

Eyes:

QL Eyeshadow

Dolly Wink Liquid Liner Brown

REVIEW : 3 CONCEPT EYES LIP LACQUER (#BON BON AND #BACKSTAGE)

Hello happy readers!

Today I’m back with another lip makeup review. This time is for one of my favorite Korean brand, 3 Concept Eyes. You know this brand, don’t you?

3 Concept Eyes Lip Lacquer.

When I first time knew this product, I was wondering about the quality and performance of its since I read varied reviews about this lip lacquer. Didn’t think too long, I decided to buy two of their 12 colors.

So, what’s Lip Lacquer?

It’s lipstick-like touch with press powdered-like soft cashmere lips, with a neat finish and non-sticky application.

Hmmm... then?

They claim that the Lip Lacquer :

·  More vivid than lipstick

·  Gives cashmere texture that leaves a soft finish

·  Light and natural application

·  You can mix and match with their various colors

Well, I really have high expectation for this product now.

3CE offers 12 colors for this product. They are so tempting, right? Look at how pretty that colors are!#drooling

I wanna try them all, soof!

Finally, I bought Backstage since I’m falling in love with its elegant red color. Besides, I still wanted to have nude color lippies, so I grabbed Bon Bon too because I was kinda disappointed with my Clio Lipnicure #Trouble Peach.

So, let’s check whether it really fills our expectations or not.

PACKAGING

Do you agree if I say that the packaging is so elegant?

The box is designed very simple in black paper material and the color of the product inside is on the top of the box. They put 3CE triangle logo on the center, so cutie. I love it.

The description of the product is written in Hangul on the sides box.

Once I opened the box, found that this lip lacquer comes in a transparent bottle with black cap. Still their cute 3CE logo is printed on the center.

If I should compare it with Clio Lipnicure’s package, this one is more slim and classy while Clio’s is in chubby design. In my description, it looks more elegant and I like it for sure!

APPLICATOR

Move to the applicator now. Nothing’s special, just like many others lip tint products. They made it in a long wand which is handy to used. Take a look at the brush. Its tip is slim and so soft like fuwa-fuwa cotton. The angle of this brush helps us to apply the content easier.

Honestly, I really like the applicator. The brush feels so smooth when used onto my lips.

Clap clap!

SCENT

I don’t smell any disturbing scent of it. So don’t worry if you have a sensitive nose. It smells like normal lip product.

Actually, I hope they give it fruit or bubble gum scent, LOL.

TEXTURE

I was so glad when tried to swipe the product firstly. As they promised about the cashmere texture, that’s true. I don’t know how to describe it but I think this product has unique texture like no other my lip products before. You’ll see how creamy it was and then turns to be powdery awhile after applied. Seriously, I feel like using powder on my lips! A little bit weird for me, but at least the content is so soft and not clumpy.

STAYING POWER

I couldn’t find that this product has a great staying power at all. Frankly, it will stay okay on your lips as long as you don’t eat or drink. But after you eat or drink, just say adios! It transfers so easily, maybe because of the texture which is powdery, mehh.

It will leave sheer color on your lips. Don’t worry, you can touch up anytime you like since 3CE lip lacquer has light formula. It won’t be lumpy clumpy bumpy

COLOR

Time to swatch it on the lips. Lemme try the nude color first.

Sorry for the bad lighting >.<

Bon Bon is apricot colored that makes you look lovely. This one is warm color. I got no best lighting in the picture, but actually the color look more pale peachy in real. Most of my daily lippies are based on pink colored, so I really like this one as my another choice when getting bored.

The true red color, I love it!

The second color is Backstage. It is truly cherry red color. I really love love love it!

The real red color makes your face look bright instantly once you use it. It’s gonna be the best choice everytime you want to look gorgeous.

When use it as gradation lip

Both of the colors have vivid finish. One swipe is enough for you to get those beautiful colors. They are matte but not too dry. I still feel a hint of moist lips while using it. Looking back to their commercial posters, I found that the colors are exactly same. No one is being cheated here. Everyone can get lip colors like Sora Park. Yay!

I think I’m satisfied enough with 3CE Lip Lacquer, especially with their Backstage color. I do appreciate with their light formula which keeps my lips in moist and leaves no dry patch even using their Bon Bon nude color.

What I Like :

·  Soft and light texture

·  Vivid colors

·  Doesn’t make my lips dry

·  Elegant packaging

·  So many beautiful colors collection

What I Dislike : 
·  Staying power is so so 
·  The products transfer so easily when eat or drink 
·  The powdery texture feels a bit weird

I’m going to give it 4 stars of 5. Though it doesn’t stay long last, but I still get many good things from it. Maybe I will try other colors then. All of them are very pretty. You should try too!

Thanks for reading and see you on next post!

TUTORIAL : AOA SEOLHYUN FOR CECI MAGAZINE INSPIRED MAKEUP

Hola Beauties!

Sorry for neglecting this blog too long. I was so damn busy with my new life, tehee. Well, actually I just spend whole day with eating and sleeping and watching korean dramas mehh.

 

Anyway just for killing my boring days, I’ve browsed lotta Idol pictures and found an interesting photo of AOA Seolhyun for Ceci Magazine. She’s pretty huh?

I love since the makeup looks so sweet and fun. Seolhyun is so beautiful with this Candy Girl look. So, I decided to recreate her beauty makeup and share it with you all.

Should we begin?

 First of all, skin care is a must ladies. A healthy skin will help you to get a perfect makeup. With moist skin, you can blend and put your makeup easier and make it long last. Already done with your skin care? Now moving on.

Use your fave BB cream or foundation to get radiant skin. To be honest, I prefer BB or CC cream than foundie since it has lighter formula and consist of skin care. Perfect for daily usage laa. But I found that some BB cream of mine has thick consistency as butter, like most of Etude Precious BB series#sigh...

To solve that I use face oil. My favorite is Innisfree Green Tea Seed Oil. I love it like crazy. I mix one or two drops of face oil with my EH BB cream so the texture of Bbcream itself will turn to be more watery and easier to be blended. It prevents cakey result too.

Don’t forget to use your bestie concealer to cover up any imperfections and get ready for flawless skin. Yoohoo!

It’s optional to set with loose powder or not. If you have dry skin, better skip this step. If you want to use powder, focus on the T zone area only because we still want to get the glowing skin for this look.

Next for the eye makeup which is look so sweet and girly.

Start from eyebrow. Since Seolhyun’s brows look straight and natural, I just apply eyebrow mascara in brown color following my natural brow shape.

Apply pink eyeshadow all over your eyelid. Then get your purple eyeshadow and swipe on the outer corner of your lid until the color shows off. Blend the pink and purple eyeshadow well. Use white eyeshadow on the inner corner and smudge it through the lower lash line.

I used black color for eyeliner. Gel or liquid type, choose your favorite. Finish the eye makeup by using fake lashes and don’t forget to apply mascara on your both upper and lower lashes. Btw, I didn’t use bottom fake lashes, LOL. Honestly, it should be better if you use it for this look laa.

Next for the lips. I’m going to use my Peripera lip crayon. Before that, apply lip concealer or BB cream over your lips to tone down your lip color. Choose pink fuchsia lipstick and make it glossy with lipgloss. Perfect.

Unlike mostly Kpop Idol, Seolhyun has pretty tan skin which is look healthy and sexy. So I put some efforts to shading and highlighting, phew...

Almost forgot, apply pink blush on your cheeks too girls. And you’re done!

Please don’t compare my silly face with Seolhyun’s, whooaa... She’s so far prettier la!

I try to get Seolhyun’s hair do but I failed, LOL.

Anyway, since it’s my first time making makeup tutorial, please forgive all the imperfections. I know, this tutorial is not clear as yet, but surely it’s hard to take pictures step by step while working alone, especially for a beginner like me #slap...

I hope next time I can make better makeup tutorial. 

Thank you for reading my tutorial. See you on my next post!
