Makeup Tips We Love!

Your foundation looks cakey? Eyeshadow that doesn't stay the whole day? Blusher that making you look 10 years older? Oily and shiny T-zone? Are these the problems that you're facing everyday with your makeup routine? Worry not! Here are some makeup tips that i guarantee will be very helpful and will definitely solve your make up problems! 

For Thy FACE

1. Always prep your skin with a face primer or moisturizer if you do not have one before applying foundation. 

    -This will gives you a flawless finish and covers up your pores. Your foundation will last longer too!

2. Mix your liquid concealer with a moisturizer. 

    - It will gives a better blending with your skin color.

3. Apply your foundation by spotting it where it's necessary instead of applying it the whole face.

    - This will makes your make-up looks more natural and a barely-there finish.

4. Problems with blemish?

    - Forget about the concealer. Use the thickened base collected in the cap of your foundation or BBCream. 

       Dab it with your fingers and set with powder. Trust me, it gives a better coverage than a concealer.

5. Cakey and fine lines after applying foundation?

     - Press loose powder on the face if you're using a sponge, not swipe. If you're using a powder brush,make

        sure you tap away the excess powder before lightly applying it in circular motion. 

6. Shiny T-Zone?

     - Blot away the excess sebum before touching up with a pressed powder or else you'll have a cakey face.

7. Blemish or Sensitive skin?

     - Try to look for a mineral foundation. 

8. Clogged pores after using foundation or BB Cream?

     - Apply your foundation or BB cream in downwards motion as this will prevent the products from getting  

       into the pores. Remember to apply your skin care in upwards and circular motion!

9. Having a foundation that's too thick and making you look 10 years older?

     - I had this problem once after purchasing a wrong foundation. Do not throw it away but instead, mix it 

        with your moisturizer so that it's thinner and gives a natural finish. 

10. The most important thing out of all - Wash and Sanitize your hand before applying makeup especially 

      when you're doing it with your fingers. Unless you like breakouts! =P

For that Charming EYES

1. Conceal your panda eyes! 

    - No makeup looks good with undereyes circle. Applying makeup without concealing it make only 

      emphasize the dark circles and makes you look tired and worn out!

2. How to conceal your dark circles perfectly?

     - Dot concealer on the inner and below your eye and then pat it with your ring finger, not swiping it. Set it 

        with loose powder.

3. Creased Shadow ? 

     - This will normally happen to one with oily eyelids and if you're the one, try to avoid cream shadow, 

        instead use a powder eyeshadow. If you're a big fans of cream shadow and can't live without it, my  

        advice is to apply a thin layer of powder eyeshadow after applying your cream shadow of of the same 

        shade.

4. Longer lasting eyeshadow?

     -Use an eyelid primer before applying your eyeshadow. Not only making your eyeshadow last longer,

       it will enhance the color of your eyeshadow as well. 

5. Precise and fool-proof eyeliner

     - Dot your eyeliner along the lashline for your desirable line and then connect the dots. This is the best way

       for those who want to start using a liquid liner. You can draw your liner with a single stroke when you're

       good at it. Remember, practice makes perfect!

6. For a longer lasting eyeliner

     - trace your eyeliner with an eyeshadow brush after lining your eye with an eyeliner no matter it's a pencil, 

        liquid or gel liner. Trace ut with a black shadow for a dramatic effects or soften the look with a brown

        shadow.

7. For a bigger looking eyes

     - this is my own way of applying the eyeliner for a bigger looking eyes and not too harsh for a daytime 

       look. Line your eye with a liquid liner, starting for the middle of your lash line instead of the inner corner 

      of the eyes. Bring it out and end it with a slight flip. This will make your eyes look bigger and longer. Then,   

      line your lower lash line just about 0.5 cm and connect it to the flip. Dab some brown shadow over the 

      liner.

8. Shimmer VS matte shadow

     -Shimmer eyeshadow are nice and fun but it's not easy to wear as it will emphasize tired and puffy eyes.

      Choose a matte one if you opt for a natural looking eyes and if you have wrinkled lids. Use shimmer as a 

      highlighter instead.

9. Brighten your tired eyes with a white liner.

     - Softly line your lower lashline with a white or peach colored liner as this will hide our tired looking eyes 

       and brighten it up instantly!

10. Most important step to a bright and fresh eyes!

     - Dab a dot of pale shimmery shadow like white, champagne or gold at the inner corners of your eyes and   

       also at the middle of your eyelids just above the lashline. See the difference yourself. 

Want a Sexier and Fuller LASHES?

1. Protect your lashes!

    - First of all, remember not to curl your lashes too hard with a curler as this will breaks your lashes.

       For a natural and beautiful lashes, curl your lash with a curler with 3 steps, press the curler softly starting     

       from the roots, middle and then the tip instead of just one hard application at the root as this will gives 

       you a shocking and awful looking lashes!

2. A super curl that last the whole day?

    - Warm your curler with a hair dryer fora few second. Remember to try the temperature of the curler 

       before using it to curl your lashes as you do not want to burn your eyelid.

3. Curler SOS!

    - What if you've forgotten your eyelash curler when you're outstation and desperately in need of curling 

       your  lash for a dinner look? Fear not! Use a teaspoon and warm it up with your palm, place it 

       horizontally and facing downwards, lightly press your eyelash against it and pulling it out and up gently. 

       Do this for a few times and it will give the same effects like the curler.

4. Hard and untamed lashes?

    - Curl your lashes with a heated curler and coat it with a waterproof mascara instead of a regular formula 

      as a waterproof mascara locks the shape better.

5. Daytime VS Nightout

    - Applying a lengthening mascara for a daytime look and a volumizing mascara for a night look. If you have   

       relatively short lashes, apply a coat of lengthening mascara before a volumizing mascara. For a more 

      dramatic effects, apply a few coats of mascara until you achieve your desirable effects but remember, not

      to apply it too thick or else it will get clumpy. 

6. Want a wider and bigger looking eyes?

     - Apply a few layer of mascara at your top lashes and then your bottom lashes as well.

7. How to solve clumpy and irregular mascara application?

    - Instead of applying your mascara in an outwards direction, apply it with a zig-zag direction from the 

       roots. This will separate the lashes to prevent clumps and also gives a fuller, sexier and thicker lashes!!

8. Opps! Too much of mascara and clumps?

    - If you have a lash separator, use it to separate your lashes and remove the clumps. If you do not have  

      one, wash your old and unused mascara wand and dry it. Use it to comb your lashes and remove the 

      clumps. Do  not use any tissue or finger!

9. Smudges? 

    - Do not swipe it away with your finger as it will not remove it but will only dirty and ruin your makeups. 

      Use a cotton bud dipped in eye makeup remover and gently dab away the falls out and smudges. Lightly 

      press some powder over the area.

10. Colored mascara.

     - A black color mascara gives you a fuller lashes and bigger eyes while a brown one gives your a more 

       natural looking eyes for a daytime look. A blue or purple colored mascara funk up your eyes and gives 

       you a flirty and dramatic effects for the dinner date or a party look!

Healthy and Glowing CHEEK

1. First Tip - Less is more

    - Do not overdo your cheek color as it will makes your face looks like an ape butt and makes you 10

      years older.

2. For powder blush

    - Use a professional blush brush for a perfect application. Do not apply a powder blush with your finger as 

       it will look uneven and blotchy.  

3. For gel and cream blush

    - Dab it with your finger and blend. Remember to start with a small amount and work it slowly for your 

      desirable intensity and effect. Remember-Less is more ; )

4. If you have a wide face and want a slimmer look

    - Apply the lighter color blush onto the apples of your cheeks and a darker shade slightly below it and 

      along the line of your cheekbones. Remember to blend to create a smooth transition. 

5. Too much of blusher? 

    - Dab some powder foundation over it to tone it down. Swipe away with a tissue if you're using a cream 

       blush.

6. Where should you apply your blusher?

    - This is how i work my blusher. By using a brush, tap off the excess and softly apply the blusher at the 

       cheekbones and with the remaining of the blusher at the brush, lightly brush it over the forehead and chin

       for radiant face.

7. Want a healthy glow?

     - Apply a highlighter or shimmery powder at the highest point of the cheek bones and blend it outwards. 

       Use a fine shimmery powder and do not overly do it. You want a healthy glow, not shiny face!

8. Run out of blusher?

    - Rub some lippie with the tip of your ring finger and warm it up, then dab 3 dots of lippie over your cheek 

       bones and blend it with your finger. It will give a very healthy glow and i like the effects more than a 

       powder  blush! Watch out! Do not do this if you have super sensitive skin and use a high quality lippie if  

       you want to  use it as a replacement!

9. Contouring with bronzer?

    - Most of the Asian girl do not have tanned skin and we seldom use a bronzer. However, a bronzer is a 

      great tool to contour your face. Applying it near your hairline if you have wide forehead to shorten your 

      forehead, at the side of your cheek near your ears for a slimmer face, at the jaw line and also the lower of 

      your chin if  you have some "baby-fat" there. Most importantly, use a matte bronzer for this. 

10. Clogged pores? 

     - Use the same technique as applying foundation if you have clogged pores. Apply your blusher in a 

        downwards directly to prevent it from getting into your pores.

Sexy KISSES!

1. Do not apply lippie or glossie over chapped lips as this will only emphasize the chapping!

    -Remember to apply lip balm before you sleep for a beautiful lips. What if you have chapped lips in the 

      morning? Rub your lips with a dampen cloth to exfoliate the dry skin and then apply a layer of lip balm 

      and let it sit for 3 minutes. Blot the excess away with a tissue and apply your lip color. 

2. Longer lasting lippie

    - Apply a layer of lipstick and then blot it with a tissue by gently pressing it against your lips. Reapply and 

      that will sit for the whole day. p/s do not use a cheap and low quality lipstick as it's not long lasting and 

      might be dangerous too!

3. Sexy and fuller lips

    - Line your lips with a lip pencil. Use a lip liner shade which is closest to your original lip color to prevent 

      that two-toned effects. Fill your lips with your desirable lip color and dab on some glossy at the 

      middle of the lips for a plumper and fuller lips.

4. Dark and intense lip color

    - Be precised! Line your lip with a lip liner, and then fill in your lips by applying your lip color with a lip 

      brush. 

5. Nude or soft color

    - If you have pale lips, apply the lip color just like normal. For those with darker lips, prime your lips with a 

       foundation and better if you have a lip concealer. Apply your lipstick as desirable. 

6. Thin and thick lips

    - For those with thin lips, it's advisable to apply a layer of glossy after applying your lipstick to fake the 

      appearance of a fuller lips. For those with thick lips, skip the glossy as it will only emphasize it and 

      enhance the appearance of a full lips.

7. Which shades is suitable for me?

    - Lippie can age your down if you apply it wrongly. For a heavy eye makeup, remember to tone down 

      your lippie by applying a soft or nude color. If you prefer dark or bright red lippie, you need to tone down 

      your eyecolor. For those who are over 40s, it's advisable to use a darker or bright red lipstick instead of 

      the pink or nude one as it will only make you look paler and worn out. 

8. Tired of your lippie color?

    - Instead of splurging on a new lippie,  experiment your lip color by mixing it with other lippie to get a new 

      and fresher color. 

9. Remove the remnants of your lipsticks and reapply after meal!

   - If you do not do so, your lippie will run out of your lips and get messy. Blot the remnants away with a 

     tissue and reapply. Do not do so blindly. Do it in front of a compact mirror or head to the washroom!

10. Dab a dot of highlighter over the cupid bow of the lips to emphasize the shape and make it look 

     sharper. 

Hope my tips will help you create a better and beautiful makeup! Stay tune for more!! =) XOXO

ELF Contouring Blush and Bronzing Powder

Yes babe.. another review on ELF products, this time it's the ELF Contouring blush and bronzing powder which is from the studio line. A lot of people use it and i've read quite alot of good review about it. The packaging look exactly like the blush and bronzing powder from NARS but it's cheaper.

This is how it looks when i took it out from my parcel.

Front part of the packaging. Pretty simple.

The back of the box which includes the information and ingredients.

Came with a matte black casing. Very simple and easy to use design.

So this is how it looks like in the inside, the blusher on the left and contouring powder on the left and with a big mirror included. 

Clearer photo of ELF blush and contouring powder taken from the internet.

As you can see the palette comes with two colours ie the blusher colour and the bronzing or contouring colour.

Blusher : Pinky coral colour with a hint of tiny golden glitter

Bronzer: Dark brown with some glitter, shimmery.

I personally like the blusher alot as it gives me a very healthy and glowing complexion on my cheeks. The baby coral pink look very sweet and natural, and it's suitable for all skin tone. It's really very pretty. The bronzer or contouring powder on the other hand is quite disappointing. I wonder why they want to call it the contouring powder as the brown colour in the palette is not matte but shimmery. It's more suitable to be used as a bronzer or maybe as a darker blusher. I've tried contouring my face with the bronzing powder and it makes my face look too shiny and weird. I've tried to use it as a bronzing powder all over my face but i feel that it makes me look dirty.. 

You really have to be very careful when applying the bronzing powder as it's very pigmented and you need to use a very light stroke to apply it on your face as the colour tend to be too dark. 

 So overall, i can tolerate with the palette as i love the blusher with a hint of golden shimmer but the bronzer. 

Pros:

-Blusher gives a healthy glow and complexion

-Cheap and affordable (USD3 = RM15)

-Easy to apply 

-Pigmented

-Plenty of product and you'll need just a lil for every application and can last for really long

-Comes with a huge mirror for easy touch up and convenient

Cons:

-Lasting powder is not that great, need to re-apply after sometime

-Not available in Malaysia, only online

-Not suitable for contouring

-Bronzer needs to be applied with care or else you will look like a dirty cat

ELF Waterproof Eyeliner Pen in Midnight Blue

The second ELF product that i've purchased is ELF Waterproof Eyeliner Pen. It comes in 3 color i.e black, brown and i've got myself the midnight blue color.

Price: RM15

So this is eye liner, simple, black colour tube with silver writing on it. It's a pen like liquid liner which is quite easy to apply.

I gave a swatch on my hand and it dries up rather fast. It doesn't glide smoothly and the line is very thick. Somehow is feel that it looks like a cheap marker pen's ink on my hand which has faded slightly. LOL... Did you remember i mentioned that i've purchased the midnight blue color? Does it seems like midnight blue and more like a black one? I've double comfirm it and it's midnight blue, printed on the packaging. It's not the kind of midnight blue i was expecting and it's totally black, maybe greyish.. But hey.. there's no BLUE!

 I did a comparison between the ELF and Maybelline Eye Studio liquid liner. The texture of ELF is thinner and obviously the Maybelline one is much thicker and more intense as you can see, it dries up slower than the ELF eyeliner but the color is definitely more appealing, don't you think so?

Oh look at this.. this's the bad thing. It smudged when i rub it with my finger-only rubbed ONCE and you can see that the Maybelline eyeliner still stay there, the ELF eyeliner's gone, byebye.. 

It's called the ELF waterproof eyeliner but it's not, i've tested it by dabbing some water on it and it smudged badly. Definitely a bad product! Do not purchase this unless you want yourself to look like a panda.

Pros:
-easy to apply

Cons:
-Not smooth
-Texture is too thin for eye liner
-Smudges and not waterproof, you'll look like a panda after using this, trust me
-Hard to get, only by online from Malaysia
-Not long lasting
-Just bad!!

ELF Eyelid Primer

As a makeup junkie who always love to try something new I've got myself a few ELF cosmetics products online and here's one of them. The ELF Eyelid Primer. ELF offers 2 kind of eyelid primer i.e the mineral one and the normal one. I've got myself the normal eyelid primer for only RM10. 

So here it's. Very simple design and it comes in a transparent tube with a small brush for application. 

Dabbed some on my hand, as you can see, it has a skin tone like colour. 

I'm not sure whether you can see it or not from here but it dries up with a bit of colour behind and i think it's actually great to even out the skin tone. 

This is how i apply it. I dabbed some on my eyelids and blend it out with my fingertips. It dries up pretty fast. It leaves a powdery feel on my eyelids and i can feel it when i'm applying my eye shadow. It really does it works by holding my eye shadow for quite a long time. My eye shadow colour appears more intense and last longer. As this is my first eye primer, i can't really tell whether it's a good one or not as i have nothing to compare with but for now it works great for me as my eye shadow does stay longer and the color stands out more. 

Pros: 

-Hold my eye shadow 

-Longer lasting eye color

-Easy to apply and blend

-Cheap

Cons:

-Only available online

-Seller who imported the product in actually earns quite alot.

*Singapore is actually the sole distributor in Asia and they are bringing ELF to their country now. Is that a good thing? Nope!! Whenever i click on ELF website it directed me to the Asia's ELF website automatically and the prices are in Sing Dollar. They're selling it for a very unreasonable price and i actually contacted the US Elf's Manager about it and here is what the person in charge in Singapore's ELF replied to me. 

Hi Kar Yen

Mr Alan Menaged of e.l.f. USA has kindly referred your query to us.

We noted your comments on our prices as compared to USA and seek your understanding that we, as the Asian region distributors, have added costs among others such as freight, import duties, warehousing and other operational costs, not to mention the mandatory health lab tests for all products in accordance with ASEAN Cosmetics Act 2008 which was fully implemented last month.  In return our distributors and customers can be assured of the safety of the products. 

Our distributors enjoy wholesale prices for bulk purchases.  If you are interested let us know your proposal and how we can support you in your endeavours.

Thank you and send you our best wishes.

Pixie Cosmetics

 Sigh too bad rite. I wish i'm rich enough one day to be the sole distributor for this kind of cosmetic products and i will definitely offer it at a lower price.

L'oreal White Perfect Pearl Duo Powder Foundation

L'oreal Paris Cosmetics launched a new line of whitening foundation fir Asian Skin-the White Perfect Duo Foundation that comes in powder and liquid form. I wasn't a great foundation person so i did some research before getting myself a foundation and most answers say that people with oily skin should go for a powder foundation. I was attracted by the L'oreal Whitening Foundation as there was a sales and the promoter was there to promote the product.

Price : Approximately RM60
Size : 7.5g



The powder has 2 different tone, top one is lighter and shimmery, which can be used to highlight features and the lower one is matte. It's available in 4 shades i.e. the Apricot Ivory, Nude Vanilla, Vanilla Ivory and Golden Caramel. I got myself the Nude Vanilla shade.

It says that this Duo Powder Foundation supposed to provide a long-lasting with pearly radiance effects. It's packed with Vitamin C, melanin-block and SPF18 to prevent skin darkening, brown spot and ageing.

To my horror, the foundation makes my face look cakey and dry after a thin application, and it doesn't have tha pearly radiance as stated but instead i look like a dead vampire with dull and ugly face. I've read a few positive reviews on the product before i purchase it and now i totally disagree with them.

The powder makes my face looks dehydrated, unhealthy, cakey and it's so unnatural. The shimmery foundation at the top doesn't give me that nice healthy glow but look like a cheap shimmering powder instead. =(

I regretted for purchasing this product so i end up keeping it for almost a year now and it cost me bout RM60 for this foundation which i think it's not worthy for the results that it gives. I tried to use it as a finishing powder sometimes but the effect is just not to my liking. e

I'm trying to finish this foundation fast so that it's not wasted. Can't give it away as non of my friends is suitable for the shade that i've bought. What i did with the powder foundation now is by applying the foundation with a dampen sponge and it actually appears less cakey and the coverage is not too bad. However, i will definitely not purchase any L'oreal foundation again and will try to save more to get a better one next time.

Pros:
-Nice packaging
-Comes with a mirror

Cons:
-Bad coverage
-Cakey, bad finishing
-Doesn't worth the price
-Makes my skin looks dry and dull
-Causes some breakout

Definitely a wrong choice and decision for me. =(

6 Easy and Useful Make Up Steps

Beauty is only skin deep. For a woman to be truly beautiful, she must be beautiful on the inside as well, which mean once should be kind, compassionate and have all the good values. Well as for outer beauty, cosmetics and techniques for applying them are essentials, especially when we age. If you think that what you need is only natural beauty, please ignore this blog as i strongly disagree with you. Makeup is a way to make us look much better, and a way to boost up our confident. Will you look good if you take a photo-shot without any makeup on? The answer is definitely NO!! 

Well, if you're on the same side with me, let's proceed. =)

Firstly, you'll need

• Quality Foundation
• Quality Powder
• Quality Eyeshadow, eyeliner and mascara
• Eyelash Curler
• Skin toned and green concealer
• Quality cheek blusher
• Cosmetic brushes

✿Step 1✿

The very first step for a basic makeup is to clean your face with a gentle facial or cleansing foam. Be use to wash your face with circular upwards strokes to prevent sagging and fine lines. Rinse thoroughly with water and gently pat dry your face with facial towel or cotton pad. 

✿Step 2✿

Apply toner with a cotton pad and then a moisturizer, either with sunscreen or without. If you have one that's without sunscreen, you can apply sunscreen after your moisturizer. Let the moisturizer being fully absorbed by your skin for 5 minutes. Next apply your foundation that suits your skin's natural colour and texture evenly. Apply foundation with gentle, upward strokes and remember to blend the foundation gradually from beneath the chin to jawline. Apply concealer to conceal your puffy eyes or dark circle. Do not rub it in but dap it with your ring finger gently.

✿Step 3✿

Apply your cream blusher if you want a longer lasting effects. Then set your makeup with a translucent powder with the powder brush. If you're using powder blusher, apply it after setting your makeup with the translucent powder lightly. The way to apply the blusher is by smiling to determine your cheekbones and blend the blusher from there towards the temples.

✿Step 4✿

Brush your eyebrow and fill in gaps with light strokes with an eyebrow pencil. Be sure to shape your eyebrow before doing this. Apply eyeshadow. Apply the lightest shade as a base, deeper shade on the eyelid. Apply a light shade below the brow to make your eyes look bigger and energetic.

✿Step 5✿

Apply eyeliner with feathery strokes. Curl your lashes with an eyelash curler before applying mascara. Apply mascara carefully from the base to the tip. A brown mascara create a warmer look which is suitable for day time look and a black or blue one create a dramatic look for night time. 

✿Step 6✿

Apply lip liner, lipstick or lip gloss. Choose a sheer lipstick for a more natural look, shimmer for a pearly and subtle coverage or cream one for matte finish. Lightly outline your lips with a lip liner that matches the lipstick colour. Fill in your lips with lipstick and blot them with a tissue. Add some sexy shine to your lips by adding a thin layer of lip gloss over the lipstick.

Warning:

-Always use quality cosmetics at a price you can afford, try not to use any imitated cosmetics as it will cause breakouts in your skin.

-Remove your makeup when you get home. Never sleep with you make-up on your face overnight as your skin needs to breathe.

Well let's look at some of the celebrities' photo-shot with and without makeup..
