Hi everyone! How is everyone doing so far on their Saturday? =D Staying at home or hanging out in air conditioned shopping centres? Hot weather isn't it? @_@ Haze plus the blazing hot sun.. all of you must drink more water ok?
Haven't done tutorial for quite some time already.. (^^)" but then again, I did promise to share some of my recent newly purchase products and toys right? =P so here it is.
Etude House Play Color Eyes collection. This limited edition series was launched during February for Valentine's Day. To be honest, among so many Korean brands, I always ended up purchasing the most items from Etude House. Not only has their packaging always attracted me but also because of the quality of some of their products. I love to collect limited edition items. So whenever they launched any limited edition series, I always ended up buying almost the entire range. =P
Play Color Eyes #2 So Chic Play (Limited)
Play Color Eyes #1 So Hot Play (Limited)
Today I'll be using this two palettes to create a soft burgundy shade that's suitable for daily wear or special occasion or party. =) Lets Start!
1) Prep face with primer after your sunscreen. I'm using Albion chiffon primer here.
Done! =)
2) Spread and apply foundation or BB cream all over face. Here I'm using BB cream and CC cream and mixing them together to create a brighter shade for my skin tone. =)
Proportion is 2:1 (BB cream 2, CC cream 1) But you can roughly estimate. Don't have to be so precise.
Mixed them together and apply all over face.
Done! =)
2) Prep your eyes with eye primer.
3) Take the shade "naked" from palette #1 and apply over the entire eyelid all the way up to your socket area.
4) Take the shade "Sparkling Wine" from palette #2 and apply at the outer corner of the eyes blending inwards.
5) Using a smaller blending brush, take the shade "Temptation" from palette #1 and apply in small amount at the outer edge of the eye area, gently blending inwards in small circles motion and defining your socket area at the same time. So far so good? =D
6) Using your finger, take the shade "Party Gold" from palette #1 and gently tap on the middle of your eye area close to your upper lashline.
7) Take the shade "Snow Queen" from palette #1 and highlight the brow bone.
8) Using a small stiffer brush, take the shade "Pop Champagne" from palette #2 and apply underneath your lower lashline area to highlight and define your eyes.
9) Draw in your eyeliner. Here I'm using Etude House brown gel eyeliner to go for a softer look. You can go for black too to achieve more define eyes. Draw in your eyebrows and apply mascara or false lashes. I decided to go for false lashes to achieve a more defined look. =P
With and without lashes.. XD
For the lips I will be using these two products to achieve a soft natural ombre lips effect. ;)
10) Apply the Revlon lipstick all over your lips. Before this step, you may also tap some concealer or foundation on your lips first to conceal any unevenness or obvious lines.
11) Squeeze some of the Rosy lip tint onto a lip brush and apply at the inner part of both upper and lower lips. Spread out well. =)
Voila! Done! =D It may seems really difficult to achieve but actually its not that hard.. ;) the key point here is to create a soft natural and rosy lips and focusing and defining more on the eyes. As this is a red and pink tone makeup, you wouldn't want too many redness on your face (otherwise will look like an monkey ass LOL.. XD) Ok..sorry..that was a joke. so in this case, I skipped blusher and opt for highlighter on my T-zone, and both upper cheeks bones to achieve a more glow and dewy effect. if you really want to use blusher can opt for a very light pink shade and don't be too heavy handed! Its always more easy to add on than to take off.
A lot of gals are afraid of burgundy shades as they tend to look very heavy and dark in colour and more related to gothic makeup. Thus I have came up with this softer version that's suitable for daily wear or even parties or special occasion.
Hope you all enjoy today little tutorial and Happy International Women's Day to all gorgeous ladies out there! =D Remember a smile is the key to great confidence and beauty so may everyone be happy always! (^3^)
