Current Beauty Faves!



Milani Matte lipstick in Innocense- a clour  that doesnt wash me out and great for everyday nude colour. Its not drying to the lips at all and it smells good!

Sephora Lustre Matte Lipstick in Fig lustre- I love this! This is forever in my makeup bag. "My lips but better colour" Nuddish, Mauve colour. I wear this almost every day for the past 3 weeks 😁.

Carli bybel palette- despite the awesome deal, $12.50 for 10 eyeshadows and 4 highlighters, perfect for Fall! Love the golds and burgundys. 

Juicy coutour viva lajuicy- my signature scent along with miss dior. My scent for the past month... Everyday. Excessive! 

Benefit highbrow- I dont know what took me so long to get this! Highlighted brow brones make such a difference in my makeup routine and turnout.Although a bit harder to blend and have to have a brush to do so, the pinkish nude is the perfect colour.


Nars eyeshadow primer- best primer for such oily eyelids! Been so oily lately and this tops Urban decay primer potion.

Becca highlighter in opal.- gotta give my jaclynhill champagne pop a rest and this stays up there on my best highlighter list. Used this baby pretty much everyday. 

MUFE 3c lipliner- this goes with anything, & everything. Such a pretty lip color even on its own.

Origins frothy wash- lately Ive been good with skincare. Or at least trying to make it simple and find products with less chemicals on it. This leaves my skin so soft yet so clean and refreshing! Definitely buying a full size version.

Gold watch from American Eagle and my Aldo/forever 21 rings. I love the good old non chunky looking, simple gold watch and adding little stuff like dainty rings.



Thats it folks! Happy October!

HAC: Highlight and Contour




Check out my video here---->  HAC: HIGHLIGHT and CONTOUR VIDEO





CONTOUR:
We aim for The "Ideal Face shape" which is oval.
Since I have a round face and small forehead, I focused more on the hollows of my cheeks to slenderize, not too much on the forehead.

For long lasting results/ some hard contour, do a cream contour first then buff it out and set it with a matte bronzer. For everyday, I only use powder for a lighter look.

HIGHLIGHT:
 For that lifted and brightened face look, highlight the inner part of your face & conceal by doing a triangle shape under the eyes. To balance, highlight cupid's bow and middle of forehead and nose.
Add a little bit of shimmer at the top of the cheekbones to give dimension and shimmer to the face.


Products used:
- Covergirl stick concealer (darkest shade)
- Too Faced Soleil Matte Chocolate Bronzer in Medium to deep
- NARS radiant creamy concealer in custard
- MAC mineralize skin finish- soft and gentle highlight

Brushes:
- Tarte Slenderizer Bamboo contour brush (cream)
- NARS Ita brush (powder)
- Crown small stippling brush (highlight)

Urban Decay's Electric Palette

SOME CALL IT TOO MUCH MAKEUP, I CALL IT ART =)

I had so much fun playing around with the latest palette from Urban Decay! Ahh the bright colours perfect for spring and summer.
I'm really surprised that even though its Matte, doesn't appear chalky at all…Good job Urban Decay! Although i kind of wish they added a matte black eyeshadow  or at least a 24/7 eyeliner instead of the brush. I can think of doing soooo many looks out of this palette!


 I did 2 looks for now :P pretty wearable…or at least for me it is
1) Fun, bright one for day time
2) Sultry for night time






DAY look
Colours used:
Lid: Thrash
Crease: Urban, Savage and Slowburn
Outer V/half: Chaos (my fave!)






Night look
Colours used:
Upper and lower lids: Chaos
crease: a little bit of my bronzer to warm up the look and slowburn (upper crease)

Lorac

Love this palette! It has both matte and shimmery shadows. Again, versatility, pigmentation and how easy to travel with!
