Skull Makeup

Been pretty busy for the past few days hence the lack of blog posts. Sorry about that.

It's a bit too early for Halloween but I wanted to share with you guys some pics of the skull makeup I did last Friday on a whim. Post makeup-gig and nothing to do on a Friday night, I googled a pic of a skull for reference. 

I've been wanting to do this for the longest time! (Yes, before Lady Gaga's video) Not bad for my first try eh?

Products used:

MUFE's white panstick, NYX jumbo pencil in Black bean, MAC's carbon and Dollface's 88 palette.

Reference:

Petrilude's (MY IDOL!!!) skull makeup tutorial on youtube.

It was pretty fun to do. Next time I might do the whole face. Nakakatamad since this is such a bitch to take off after. hahahaha.

PS: wala parin kaming pasok. inaamag na ko. 

Review: Etude House - Dear My Blooming Lips Talk in PK002

For a tiny lipstick that was a pretty long name -_-


Hello! Still no news of when my internship starts so product review and swatches muna tayo.


Last Sunday, I dropped by MoA's fairly brand new Etude House branch and got their brightest pink lipstick available.

Check out my thoughts after the jump!

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!

Review: NYX Soft Matte Lip Cream

I've been wanting to share this product review with you guys for quite some time now. I just didn't have the time since I've been pretty busy lately. Busy-busyhan. 


I first heard of NYX's lip cremes a year ago after a friend (hi Ross!) raved about how nice the colors were, but I never gave much thought to it until a couple of months ago. So I decided to check them out for myself. 


Before I buy a product online, I make sure to check its reviews and swatches. So I think I owe it to the lovely ladies who posted and shared their thoughts online for helping me choose this amazing little product! Now it's my turn to share my swatches and convince you to try them out for yourself. HAHA.

Check out the swatches after the jump! ;)

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 ;)
