FOTD: Ulzzang Makeup + Tips

Products used:

Face

Celeteque Anti-wrinkle moisturiser as an eye cream
Monistat powder gel primer

Close up of the eyes

I'm wearing Geo Nudy Brown lenses.

Tips:

1. After applying moisturiser and primer, even out your skintone using liquid foundation or BB Cream.
2. Conceal dark circles and imperfections. Set with loose powder.
3. Define your eyebrows using a brow pencil or powder. Set with MAC Brow set or clear mascara (optional).
4. Apply a light brown eyeshadow shade from lashline to crease. Using a darker shade of brown apply it on the crease using a C-technique. You can also add a black eyeshadow to define the outer-v and the lower lashline. Blend using a fluffy eyeshadow brush. Apply highlighter on the browbone.
5. Line the upper lashline using gel/liquid eyeliner. Slightly wing the outer corners.
6. Curl lashes, apply falsies and mascara.
7. Using a bronzer contour your cheekbones, then apply a light pink blush on the cheeks.
8. Apply lipbalm followed by a light pink/nude lipcolor.

So easy right?! How I wish I know how to edit a video so that I can post a tutorial on Youtube =)

Here's another shot =)

What do you think? Bagay ba? LOL =)

Late FOTD post

I attended my barkada's wedding last month & I was one of the Secondary Sponsors. As usual I did my own hair & makeup. Since I was already running late, I didn't have enough time to style my hair so I opted for a simple Updo using the Hair Bumpits that I bought from Digitaltraincase. It's so easy to use, I didn't even apply hairspray! Stupid me, I even forgot to use the Mink Lashes that I got from Glambox =(

Wedding Ideas..

Just got back from work after being on leave for a week. I got Asthma, cough & a cold!
My cheek area really hurt due to sinusitis! Just went to the doctor for check-up and he gave me meds to take. I'm kinda okey now! Thank goodness after a week of suffering =)

After reading Martha's Blushing Bride post, I just wanted to share some details of my wedding last October 17, 2007. For those of you who are getting married soon, I hope you'll find this post useful..

Since I'm from Cebu, my Makeup Artist is Jessie Glova. A very popular M.A. based in Cebu who's done tons of makeup for Magazine shoots, FashionTV (Ftv) shows, Run-way makeup and of course Bridal makeup. Click here to view his portfolio.

Sorry don't have time to watermark my pics. Warning : Pic Heavy!

**Click images to zoom**

Makeup Products my M.A. used:

MAC Select Moistureblend foundation (NC20) mixed with NC25 to contour cheekbones
Laura Mercier Loose powder to set makeup
Laura Mercier Brightening powder to highlight
MAC eyeshadow to fill brows (brownish shade)
MAC eyeshadows in Neutral colors for a natural look
Soft black eyeshadow to define lashline (mixed with a little water)
Shimmery white pencil/eyeshadow to highlight lower lashline
NARS Orgasm Blush
Soft pink lipstick from MAC or NARS? i forgot =)

I really like my makeup! It really looks natural on pictures and in person of course! He didn't use foundation on my neck area since he said it would look to obvious. He just used the right shade of foundation on my face.

See? He's really good! My face and neck color - MATCHED!

My Gown - designed by Mr. Leonardo Igloria A simple mermaid cut gown with sweetheart neckline with beads & lace, and a bow at the back side
