How to: Smokey Eyes

Ahhh... the ultimate "clubbing makeup"... the smokey eye *bow* hahaha

A lot of girls are scared of doing this makeup look. Why? The thing is, there is a thin line between a nice looking smokey eye vs looking like Taylor Momsen (happy halloween?). 

So please go easy on the black eyeshadow :))

This look is dedicated to all those in the medical field. To all you doctors, nurses, interns, pharmacists, medtechs, pts, med students etc. ETO ANG ULTIMATE PEG FOR A SURGICAL MASK LOOK. HAHAHAHA. (just make sure that your makeup is sterile. corny.)

ANYWAY!

Check out the complete look after the jump! (you know you want to)

again... there are several of versions in doing the "smokey eye" and I'd like to share how I do it. I think there is no "right" or "wrong" way. Just make sure you don't look like you're going to a Halloween party. (Unless it's Halloween) Okaaaay? go!

How to: Day Makeup

Apart from the back to school vibe, for the fresh grads it's job hunting season! 

Bawal ang mga palamunin at batugan! (ouch. tinamaan ko sarili ko.)

So here's something we all can benefit from - how to put on day makeup that is suitable for school (when you need to look extra polished: thesis, revalida), job interview or pwede ring corporate makeup! LAHAT NA! hahahaha


Again, this how I do it. I'm not saying that you should follow it down to every letter but rather, go with what suits you best. Feel free to experiment and try on different colors and blending techniques. Go with what works for YOU ;)

Pin-Up Girl Makeup Tutorial

Hello dear non-existent readers! (haha) I have decided to revive this blog of mine to share some tips and tutorials on makeup. Feelingera mode - ON! 

Victory curls, Winged eye-liner, red RED lips - three main things you see in a pin-up themed makeup.

"A pin-up girl, also known as a pin-up model, is a model whose mass-produced pictures see wide appeal as popculture. Pin-ups are intended for informal display, e.g. meant to be "pinned-up" on a wall. The term pin-up may also refer to drawings, paintings, and other illustrations done in emulation of these photos. The term was first attested to in English in 1941; however, the practice is documented back at least to the 1890s." - wikipedia (Napaka credible ng source ko.) 

Apart from the posters actually being pinned up the wall the hair of pin up girls required massive amounts of hair pins to set the curls (look up "how to pin-curls" in youtube and you'll understand how much effort it took to curl the hair back in the day!).

My first tutorial would be the iconic Pin-Up look mainly because the eyeshadow routine is pretty simple and can be wearable for everyday with a few tweeks of course. 

Here's my interpretation of the look and if you want to learn how to achieve this read on ;)

pak na pak!
