Bite High Pigment Lip Pencil

Alo Beauties!

Stumbled across this little cutie while shopping at Sephora last week for $29! I've been wanting to try out the bite beauty lip pencils but i just couldn't decide which colour to get…then i found this! Given the fact that it has nice, festive colours for the up coming fall/winter season, couldn't deny how cute  & adorable the packaging is, this comes in a built-in mirror for on the go (so me) , travel/purse friendly & "ready to give" kind of present.  When i travel, i create different kind of looks and sometimes, having to bring a lot of lipsticks can use a lot of space in my makeup bag, so now, i can just bring this! I would be able to create a variety of lip looks without worrying to much of bringing a lot of separate full sized lipsticks. 

- All are wearable colours

- You just gotta be a lil bit careful when applying Pomegranate because it could be a little bit messy if you don't take your time, compared to sable for instance.

- smooth application

- hydrating, not drying

-scent: just a slight hint of vanilla

-Only thing though, since its retractable, i may have to use a lip pencil in the future once it becomes flat & it loses its pointy and sharp end. :s

It comes in 4 colours (set 4 x .05oz.) 

Pomegranate (Red)

Rhubarb (taupe brown)

*Sable (peachy nude)

*Winterberry (berry)

 *-new shades

pigmentation: 5/5 (creamy and opaque)
longevity: 3/5 (need to reapply often)
packaging : 5/5 (sleek, chic, easy to find, small enough)
scent: 4/5 (not strong)
colour selection: 4/5 ( i love how its neutral to dramatic) Although, the 2 darkest colours look similar when put on. Its until you look closely or apply the red one darker will you see the difference.

overall, i really like it!

Makeup for glasses

Makeup for Glasses

 My normal everyday makeup looks so blah and plain when i wear glasses compared to when I'm not. For some reason, once i put my glasses on, it seems like i don't have any makeup on. LOL 

Glasses tend to put a dark cast under your eyes and they become the main focus of your face so its important to:

1) Use an opaque brightening concealer

Glasses frame your face and if you don't do your eyebrows, it may look off and weird. make sure you

2) do your brows, (thicker and more-arched than the usual) they frame your face.

3) Contour your eyes, face and do it darker than the usual. It may look a lot but when you put your glasses, it will look fine =)

4) Brightener: Use a shimmery eyeshadow on the inner corners of your eyes, brow bone, and the lids to brighten up your eyes 

5) Bigger eyes: beige/cream liner on your waterline to make your eyes look bigger

                         thicken your eyeliner a little bit, extend and wing it out rather than following your eye   

                         shape.

How to: Winged Eyeliner Look/Cat Eye

Hello superfoxies!

  When doing an cat eye /winged liner look, its easier if you practice with GEL eyeliner and an angled brush. Once youve mastered, then we'll move on to liquid liner. (i used MAC's fluid line and eco tool's angled brush)

First line your eyes just like how you normally do. As you can see here, the before and after look on each eye:P

then from the bottom, follow the natural curve and at the end, use it as your guide to angle up your brush. this will help you to have even lines for both eyes. its up to you how high you want it to be, i did mine just medium sized wings.

then connect  and fill in!!

aaaand you're all set!

also, play it up and be different! i added purple too. simply outline the black :)

Long-lasting Red lips

What you need:

(lipscrub, choice of lip balm, lip pencil, lippie, concealer, brush and powered)

Prep (exfoliate +moisturize) Start off with a clean fresh base so your lipstick will go on smoothly. Least thing you want is to have dry chapped red lips.

take your time. Trust me, it pays off (use lip liner and fill in) this creates a base/foundation not only for long lasting color but it also amplifies and prevents your lipstick from "bleeding".

lipstick time! then blot on tissue then set with powder to stay on for at least 6 hours. (yes, even if you eat and drink)

then CORRECT. smooth things out just to give that flawless look!

**** go easy on shine. you dont want to look like a sloppy mess. so if you do want shine, add a little bit only at the center of your lippies :)

Bridal Makeup.

        She was one of the prettiest, simplest brides I've done yet turned out to be so gorgeous!!

When i was in Cosmetics school, i remember my instructor stressing the point that bridal makeup  should be CLASSIC and TIMELESS. 30 years from now, would you still love the makeup done?! Would you still look normal? Or would you cringe seeing yourself with hot pink lips? I have encountered brides who wanted "more"...because they have this thinking that the more and heavier makeup aka smokey or dark lips would be appropriate for a wedding... Personally, i prefer LESS. I would not want her face to look cake-y nor too done up. I'm all about the enhancing what every bride has...BEAUTY!

Here are my 2 cents on Bridal Makeup:

1)  Good foundations and concealers are KEY! without a good canvas/base to work on, how will your eyeshadow, blush and everything else look good? But before that, an awesome skincare routing is a must!

2) Waterproof everything. Mascara and eyelash glue most especially. Seriously. i can not even stress how important using long lasting makeup/waterproof products on brides.
If your brides have oily skin, use a setting spray and primer!

3) Soft Brown Smokey eyes are preferred. Suits everyone and looks natural. You can build it up towards the end of the night for an evening look....black is too heavy.

4) Natural looking eyelashes. Brides think its "too much" and "they wouldn't look themselves"...it actually just accentuates your look a little more. It looks awesome on pictures!

5) Lipsticks. Not lipgloss. i prefer just lipsticks with a little bit of gloss in the middle of your lips to make it fuller. Its a no no to oily looking and sticky lips!
