Makeup Collaboration : Lovely Valentine Look

Hello everyone! I'm back with another tutorial for Valentine's Day. I'm doing a makeup collaboration with my blogger friends. ^o^ This is my first collaboration so I'm really excited!

I was quite shocked when I know the last time I make a tutorial was on last year Valentine's Day. Hahahaha hopefully I could come up with more makeup tutorials this year <3 

Healthy Face Movement for Etude House

So finally I could finished my very first video tutorial and succesfully uploaded it after 8 hours!! Whoaaa internet connection was very slow ._.

Basically it's about how I do my morning - night routine, about how I apply my skincare, how I cleanse my face and how I do my daily makeup. :D I did this video to support the Healthy Face Movement Campaign from Etude House Indonesia that I'd shared before.

To be honest I'm not really satisfied T_T It's really hard to shoot the whole process by myself and make sure it is all good. Another reason is because Pat refuses to help me! He was agree to help me in the beginning and when I'm ready ... he's gone (playing Candy Crush wtf! hahaha). I was also trying to do a voice over but I'm afraid I couldn't make it on time because it will need more time to do. But I will try my best to make a better one in the future :D

If there's any comment or suggestion, please let me know so I can improve it in the next video.

Get ready with Sweet Valentine Look

Having a special date on Valentine's Day? Or maybe another going out with best friends? But still confused about your outfit and make-up?? Not really an expert with make-up? Don't worry. ;) You don't have to be an expert to have a glam look. Make-up isn't as complicated as you think.

Less is more. So I will share about a simple, quick, and easy makeup tutorial :D 

Shall we start?

Tutorial : Easy Christmas Snow Gradation Nail

Christmas is in the air but  I haven't blogged anything about it!!! I was so busy with final exam and thesis. D: So tired and barely have enough sleep. But I'd passed everything and now I got a bunch drafts to be finished!!! December is also a special month because my BF birthday and my anniversary with him is on December!! :D I'm so excited preparing something this year. Will reveal it soon.. *pinky promise*

So I was coming with an idea to bring a little winter theme on my nail. I'm so excited because I was really into nail art mood lately, but always have no time to do it. It takes so much patience to paint them one by one and let them dried. Well I always end up with messy polishes because hardly could wait the polishes dried.

Enough with random rambles. So here we come!

You can pick any color that you like :) I choose white-blue gradation because I want to achieve cool winter effect.

What do you need?

1. Base Coat

2. Any nail polishes that you like

3. Glittery nail polishes

4.Top Coat

 First of all, put on the base coat on your nail to give them more protection :)

Put on the base color. I'm using pearly white. You can add more layers to achieve a bolder color.

Start to paint some color on the edge of your nails. At this part, your nail might be a little bit messy but never mind. The next step will 'amazingly' conceal them.

Put the glittery nail polishes and top coat. And you're done!

So easy and simple, right?

I think the most difficult think at doing this is for having patience. I ruined the nice gradient many times because my hand cannot be a good girl and keep moving LOL. So yeah, make sure you are not in hurry when you wanna try them. 

Another useful tips. A sheer polishes could help to create the gradient easily ;)

It's suitbale for ocassional party or special events too. So easy la so you don't need to go to nail salon hahahaha. You also can add rhinestones, snowflake stamp or nail stickers to make it more beautiful. :) If you'd succeed make one, please let me know because I really wanna see your creation too :D

Will catch up with another post later. ;) If you have any question or request, feel free to ask on my formspring :)

Glam Make Up Look Inspired by Election Day

Hello everyone! I was really in a mood to play with make-up lately! Since I were really busy on weekdays and only do sorta lazy thingy on weekend, so I barely have time to play with my babies. And this time the inspiration comes from.....

My ink-stained nail!! The ink from the election for Jakarta's next deputy.

Can you believe that???

Okay some of you might think it is ridiculous... but well I think it's such a good color combination LOL, so I did an experiment with my eye make-up. :3 Here we go.

1.Prep your face. Put on the foundation, concealer, etc to make sure your face is ready to be painted with color! Don't forget the eye primer this time to make the color stay vibrant and still!

2.Put on matte pink eyeshadow on the inner corner and the shimmery pink eyeshadow on the rest.

I'm using my beloved Sleek Oh So Special Palette. I'm run out of money. I was thinking of buy another eyeshadow palette but I need to save for my future laptop.T ^ T #poor

 3. Put on dark purplish color on your crease and blend well. Build up the color several time if it necessary to make it more pop out. Especially for the pink color.

4. Put on the purplish color on your lower line halfway. It gives a big difference and an illusion of big-longer eyes.

5. Line tightly with liquid eyeliner and create a wing.

 I was ran out of scotch tape...

6. Put some silver eyeshadow or eyeliner in the lower inner corner and your tear duct for brighten effect.

7. Countouring and blush.  I need to get rid of my flat nose and chubby cheeks as usual.

Any lips color that you prefer. To match the pink eyeshadow, this pink lips never fails me. For special events, you can pick any bold lip color such as plum, fuchsia, or even red. Don't forget to put on the falsies for more dramatic eye look :D

As I was going with Pat, I tried to minimize the drama look LOL. >.>

Ready to go!!

BEWARE! Many photos are coming.

 My un-smile pose. ~,~

Okay, that's all... I should stop before someone complained LOL. xD

This is the last one I promise...

Have a nice weekend and see you next time, ladies! <3

Tutorial : Play with Etude

Well I'm thinking of creating out my looks on my birthday last week and it pointed me to my Etude House Pink Box which I got from Etude House event. :3 since Pat loves a natural look so challenge accepted!

1. Put on your circle lens. My eye is so small so when I do a minimum makeup, I still need to enhance my eye by using a circle lens! Mwahahaha looks bigger in instant!

2.Bare face... nah so many redness everywhere... >:) gotta get rid of this for the special day!

3. Dot some BB cream or foundation and blend! I sometimes love to use medium-high coverage foundation to conceal my redness and even out my skintone. As you can see, my face is pretty dull.

 

4.Finished it by set the foundation with powder.

Taraaa... :3 looks much more better already but still look too pale. Let's add more color!

A little tips from me. :) Most of woman in Indonesia is kinda hard to find a right BB cream shade, sometimes is kinda too pale, too dark, or maybe too greyish. Combine it with your powder to create your own shade because most of BB cream will blend into your original skintone. If your BB Cream shade is too light, put on some powder with a darker shade or pour out some bronzer to avoiding the pale look. :)

5. Contouring... is a MUST in my case especially for my flat nose. T ^ T also on cheekbones. Add more dimention. But actually I always skipped countouring whenever I'm in hurry already. I try to do more in my eye make-up then if I were only have 5-10 minutes left.

 

6.Pour the blush on your apple cheeks.

7.Ended with a black eyeliner for create an illusion for a bigger eye. Avoiding any bright or sparkling color, so I put a matte light brown eyeshadow and a darker brown shimmery eyeshadow on the outer corner.  Skip the eyeshadow if you're have no time or if  you're just too lazy to put on eyeshadow. I think I should named this tutorial under 'Lazy Makeup Tutorial' LOL!!

 

8. Finally it comes to the end. :3 Moisture your lips, choose anything you like either lipstick, liptint, or even your tinted lipbalm and you're ready!

Lipstick + lipgloss is such a perfect combination for me.

 

Don't forget the nails!

And here's how do I look

 

Naaahhh, I'm not really wearing that cap when I was going out LOL. Just thinking that it would match the red cherry color on my shirt.

I love how Korean cosmetic are so damn good when it comes to achieve a soft natural look, even if they use bright color. LOL. You don't need to worry if you put too much product and looks messy. In my experience using korean cosmetic, they are just designed that way, to enhance the natural look. You can do it for everyday make-up in no time. The only key is to keep your face looks flawless, enhance the eye with eyeliners, and give some color on cheeks and lip.

I decided to do the review on a separated post considering it will be too long in a post. :D  I wanna say thanks to all of readers that come and pay a visit to my blog even I don't update it regularly now. But seriously, I'm really busy at the moment T_________T I hope you guys understand and still wanna come for a visit.

Thanks for reading lovelies... ;) will back with the reviews of lovely pinky stuff!
