Golden Dusk

Someone obviously has free time to blog =) Trying to make up for the lack of posts. Seeing that i've only blogged 3 times this month irks me haha. With still a few days left before september, I am bent on getting that number up to at least 5 haha.


Anyway, just posting a look i did the other day. Should have taken a picture of it earlier though, after a long of day of going here and there, the colors have faded a bit and the eyeliner not as dark as it was earlier. Here it is anyway..

The eyelining on the inner corner starting to fade haha.
Ewwie lashes maybe I should wear falsies everyday, yes? haha

A weird angle but I love how the color
gradient looks. But my lashes are looking rather sparse, boo!

*What I used for the eyes:
-M.A.C Woodwinked (lid)
-M.A.C. Free to be, Hot hot hot, Expensive Pink and Coppering (crease up to brow bone)
-M.A.C. Nocturnelle and Shadowy Lady (Outer Crease)
-M.A.C. Carbon (outer v)

* I know I tend to go nuts with all the eyeshadows I use. But you basically just need a few key things to do this look: Woodwinked, Hot hot hot or free to be (for the crease) Nocturnelle and Carbon =)

Havent had much time to make an effort with my makeup lately. So with a new month coming up, I promise to myself that I will wake up earlier to do my makeup haha and then hopefully i'd get some free time to post and share them with all of you :)

Today I fell in love...

...with COLOR! =)

BTS pictures from the shoot this morning

Cant wait to see the photos! Worked with such amazing people! Thanks to Lyka, Vania, Rosanna, Mara, Ayla and Kirsten =)


I just realized that I want more shoots that allow me to go nuts with color. I really enjoy going crazy mixing and matching loud, bold and bright colors! :)

Finals/Portfolio: Semi Smoky

Hello, posting another one of the looks I did for my finals/portfolio. I love semi-smokey because this is what I do on myself often. hehe even my friend, Caby, commented that this looks exactly how I do my own makeup.


The challenge for this look during our finals was how we could make the golds or bronzes stand out more. I already knew what I was going to do, before finding out we needed to use gold/bronze. So I just adjusted it a bit and thank goodness I had planned on using gold and pink for the eyes haha.

My lovely model Jess! We've known each other since we were kids and went to the same college too =)

For the eyes, I used a quad from 4u2 that I fell in love with! I will post a review on it soon, I promise! But overall, I like their eye shadows, good color payoff and very minimal fallout. I used mostly just that quad except for MAC Charcoal brown for the hollows of the crease and Embark for the outer corner.

Hope everyone is having a great week! =)

Boring Monday

Ive been cutting down on expenses (hah!) so I decided to stay at home today. Caby came over and we basically spent two to three hours just lounging on the bed. But we have something exciting coming up hehehe =)

Was thinking of what to post, then I got bored so I decided to put makeup on (For years, this is what I normally do whenever I get bored). Was going to join a contest, but my hands automatically grabbed my go to colors (so much for the contest). When im in a hurry I go for neutral eyes with mostly just brown and gold. I know ya'll havent seen me look normal haha what with tiger makeup, Shiva makeup and all those Halloween makeup. So to switch things up here is my go to look..

What I used:

Face:
Cinema Secrets Color Corrector kit #2
RCMA Shinto 2 and 3
RCMA Invisible Setting Powder
Rimmel Blush in Peach
MAC Sculpt and Shape in Lightsweep and Shadester
UDPP and MAC Charcoal Brown for eyebrows

Eyes:
Paint Pot in Soft Ochre
MAC Vex, Haux, Embark, Charcoal Brown, Carbon and Gorgeous Gold
Rimmel Glam eyes mascara
Fanny Serrano Eyelash Curler (I swear this curler is awesome! :D )


Can I just add, my skin is looking so so much brighter and better. Cinema Secrets Concealer + RCMA fdtn + RCMA setting powder = really good skin on photograph. But its so much better now that my skin looks and feels much clearer. And besides, we all know that good skin makes makeup so much better! I didnt really have acne problems but I do breakout once in a while and my forehead always had little bumps. Ive been on Tretinoin for 2 months and the persistent little bumps on my forehead are gone, my skin looks clearer, its smoother

After about a month, my hair still looks odd to me hehe. I love it though =)

This is what it looks like if I let it dry on its own

And just as I was about to remove everything my friend texts. Wee! Im going out. Hope all of you had a great Monday! :)
