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 ;)

Smaller vs. Bigger Eyes

Just one quick post!


Makeup is all about the art of illusion. Here's a quick tip for you guys on how to achieve smaller and/or bigger eyes (whatever you like). 


SMALLER:
If you have super "deep set", "bulging" eyes, chances are, you'd want to lessen or balance it out. 
  • The trick here is LINING your eyes all around with a dark colored pencil/liner/eyeshadow to "push it back". 
  • Remember the rule of thumb that black makes everything sexier/slimmer - that also includes the eyes ;)
BIGGER:
This technique works best for chinita shaped eyes since this adds more width and rounds up the eye.
  • Use a white/nude eyeliner to line the INNER waterline. A nude colored liner is less harsh, more subtle and more wearable for everyday.
  • Line the outer portion of the eye (LOWER LASHLINE) with a brown/black eyeshadow/liner up until the middle portion. Do not line it all the way since it "closes" up the eyes and makes them smaller.
  • Don't go overboard with the white liner baka magmukha kang may hyperthyroidism niyan kasi more na more ang luwa ng mata! Yung sakto lang.
Ergo: White makes things bigger. Black smaller. Keri?  


Now that's an optical illusion! 
(get it? optical = eye.. illusion? HAHAHA. Grabe ang funny ko. haha tumawa kayo.)


SMALLER
BIGGER.

Back to School: Fresh in Five!


Hi ladies! To kick off my June entry, I'll be doing some "back to school" look(s) because:

 1) Feeling "young student" pa ko 
2)Tamad ako mag makeup sa totoong buhay 
3) My PharmD classmates KNOW na Haggardo versoza ang peg ko everyday
4) Kahit puyat sa pag aaral (OR sa pag cram) dapat fresh parin di baaaa???

Here's something for all of you lazy girls (like me!) out there. I usually do this on the way to school since I have mastered the art of putting on makeup in a moving vehicle (wag gayahin). This look takes me 5 mins tops (promise!)

Feel free to add/skip some steps to your liking. Btw I've used pretty affordable products for us purita-non-working class girls. HAHAHA 

Read more after the jump! ;)
