While I'm prepping all of my photos for upcoming posts about my trip to Guangzhou China, I thought it'd be a good idea to start doing MOTD (Makeup Of The Days) to prep myself for makeup academy *lets out a giddy squeeeeaaal*.
To tell you the truth, I am quite lazy to put makeup on myself but I loveee to put make up on other people.That's because makeup on myself on a day to day basis is really boring (I work super early in the morning for my part-time job and I'd rather have more sleep).
I like to play with CRAZY makeup and just get really creative so that's why plain and simple makeup every single day of the week can get tiring. On a normal day to day basis, I just make sure my skin is nice and balanced (tinted moisturizer + concealer + blush) and I'd put nothing on my eyes. I just try to make myself look AWAKE and not dead or unapproachable.
Today I thought I'd freshen it up with some bright eyes, long lashes and pouty lips :)
FACE:
1. Clinque: Acne Solutions Liquid Makeup (01 Fresh Alabaster)
2. Bourjois Paris: Blusher (74 Rose Ambre)
3. Urban Decay: De-Slick Mattifying Powder
EYES:
1. Urban Decay: Primer Potion
2. Lise Watier: Duo Shadow & Glitter (Golden Taupe) - Using cream shadow ONLY, not the glitter.
3. NYX: Jumbo Eye Pencil (604 Milk)
4. THIS IS THE MOST IMPORTANT PART.......! Bare Essentuals: BUXOM LASH (Blackest Black). I swear by this mascara and after my bff introduced this mascara to me 4 - 5 years ago, every single mascara (Including Lancome, Gio Armani, Shu Uemura, Dollywink etc.) I tried thereafter had sucked in comparison. Look at what it does for my flimsy non-existant lashes! However, I'd love to be proven wrong, please tell me what your fav mascara is and I shall test it out to see if it's better than Buxom lashes. It has to curl, lengthen, volumize and separate. ALL of the above :)
LIPS:
1. Lancome: L'absolu Nu Lipstick (302 Voile De Rose)
2. Shu Uemura: Lipgloss (Don't know the # of name, but here's a photo of it --> Photo)
Hope you like the look! :)

ReplyDeletethanks jen for the suggestions, I'd love to try them, esp the maybelline falsies!! I've seen it advertised everywhere!!
DeleteGorgeous, girl! Lately, I've been trying to wear the no-makeup makeup look, which kinda looks like your look. Of course, I think your makeup looks way better than mines. >.<
ReplyDeletedid you do a post on your "no makeup" makeup look?? I actually heard the no makeup look takes so much more work than the "looking like you're wearing makeup" makeup look lol!!! So kudos to you girl. I'd love to see it! :) i def havent mastered the no makeup makeup look -_- u can tell im wearing makeup
DeleteYou did a great job and you will do great in school! Its always more fun putting make up on others than ourselves, :)
