FOTD: Black Liner and Reddish Purple lips

Hey everyone, I just want to share this makeup look I wore to work on Sunday. Who the heck works on Sunday? Unfortunately, I do! O_o. I had to be there at 7:30am for an early meeting which sucked ugh! I tried to wake up as early as I could, but not early enough to get all pretty and do my makeup. I woke up, took a shower, combed my hair, got dressed, packed all my makeup in my super cute Hello Kitty lunch bag that I use as my makeup bag, and I was out the door. (Click here to see what it looks like) I looked like poop without makeup but I didn't care. I didn't want to be late.

Luckily, there wasn't any traffic and I was able to get to work 15 minutes early. I rushed to the public restroom and did my makeup super fast. It was a bit annoying because the lighting was terrible and I had to lean over the counter to get closer to the mirror to see what I was doing, but hey, I made it work. I was able to do my makeup in a little over 10 minutes. Sigh...I looked much better ^_^

Sorry for the bad quality of the photos. I was using my small digital camera.

In 10 minutes, I did a very easy and simple makeup look. It consisted of: a sheer application of liquid foundation and concealer, soft eye brows, lots of black gel liner, mascara, a little bit of blush and a bold lip color. I chose a purple shade for my lips. I know, purple lips again like my last FOTD lol. I dunno, I've been really liking plums, reds and purples on my lips. I just love how it makes me look older haha...

GET THE LOOK

face:

Use a wet sponge to apply Revlon Color Stay foundation all over the face. This will give your face a sheer coverage, enough to even out the skin tone. Apply Almay Line Smoothing concealer in medium under the eyes and blend it with the same wet sponge. This will lightly conceal dark circles, making the eyes look bright and awake. Then, dust Mac Mineralized Skin Finish Natural in Medium Deep all over the face to set the makeup. This will make the face makeup last for a long time.

brows: 

Fill them in lightly with Wet n Wild brow pencil in taupe and Chattecaille Eye Pencil in Bark (dark brown) and use a spooly to blend the colors together. Using a spooly will give the eye brows a more natural look.

eyes:

Apply Stila Sudge Pot in black with an angled liner brush on the upper lash line and the water line. Curl the lashes and apply NYX Doll Eye mascara. Apply several coats to make them look thicker and longer. Then, re-curl the lashes to make the look bigger.

cheeks:

Mix MAC blush in Melba and Gingerly and apply it lightly on the cheeks with a fluffy blush brush. Choose a matte shade, meaning no shimmer or iridescent to give the face a more natural glow.

lips:

For a pop of color, apply Wet n Wild Megalast Matte lipstick in 916D Ravin Rasin which is a deep reddish purple shade. This lipstick is awesome! 

Wet n' Wild Megalast Matte lipstick in 916D Ravin' Raisin on my lips. I'm really loving this lipstick. It applied smooth and it doesn't dry out my lips.

Well, that's it for this look. I hope you guys are not tired of my purple lips yet lol.

FOTD: False Lashes and Purple lips

As many of you know, I caught the flu and it was making my life miserable. For days, I wasn't able to breathe right and I was coughing like I was gonna throw up...yuck! It was weak, helpless and ugly lol. But thank goodness I'm all better now, and I can go on with my life ^_^ 

Today, I was able to go out with Kiko and for the first time in forever, I was able to put a full face makeup on. I'm telling you, It was the best feeling ever! I just feel more confident and more beautiful with makeup. ^_^

For my makeup, I initially planned on something dramatic, like smoky eyes with pinky nude lips. But as soon as I sat on my little makeup station, I quickly changed my mind and ended up with a simple and soft neutral eye makeup with false lashes and paired them with some pinky purple lips. I wanted to look fresh and pretty and, I think it turned out well. What do you think?

GET THE LOOK

face:

Start with foundation. Apply liquid foundation with a wet sponge. Use a concealer one shade lighter than your skin tone and apply it under the eyes, blending it with the same wet sponge. This will give your face a sheer coverage and a more natural look.Then, set everything with a face powder. This will make your face makeup stay on all day.

eyes: 

The eye makeup was very easy and simple. Use a muted golden brown shadow and brush it above the crease with a fluffy blending brush. Then, line the upper lash line with a dark brown liner pen and finished it off with a pair of natural looking false lashes. The false lashes will enhance your eye makeup, so choose any style you please. Also, use a black gel liner to cover the traces of dry lash glue. 

For the false lashes, I used ES lashes in A103  from  http://www.kkcenterhk.com/. I was given an opportunity to try them out and I'm really loving them. I love how the band or base was very easy to bend to fit my eyes ^_^

brows:
Fill them in lightly using two shades, a taupe and dark brown brow pencil. Then, use a spooly to brush the hair and blend the colors together. Using a spooly for blending will give the brows a more natural look.

cheeks:

Mix 2 shades of powder blushes, one soft coral peach and a capri bronze and apply it on the apple of the cheeks using a fluffy blush brush. Mixing the 2 shades will result in a warm peachy shade...so pretty!

lips:

Fill in the entire lips using a natural nude lip liner and top it off with a neutral pinky purple lipstick. Chose a purple shade for a pop of color, but you can use any lipstick shade you prefer.
