Putting colors in your plain smokey eye!

Hi guys! Let me share one of my routine when I'm online, and that's to watch Youtube Makeup Tutorials! I'm subscribe to Batalash, chrisspy, patrick star, michelle phan (of course), NikkieTutorials etc. 

My fave of them all is Batalash! Sssssmantha! Their channel also gives techniques if you are an aspiring MUA, like me. :P 

Here's one technique they shared:

Using a black color as a base to make the lid color you like stand out! 

I have been doing make up looks with neutral colors and some pinks and purple. I decided to get out of my comfort zone and some other colors (bold colors) to try. It was scary at first because I dont want to look like I was just punched my someone. Err, black eye , nope!

So here's a green eye smokey eye just for a change! 

I used these eyeshadows from Nichido and Avon Color Fold Up Pallette. I paired it with a nude lippie and rosy cheeks, because I want the eye makeup to stand out. 

So, the black base! I first used a flat eyeshadow brush and sprayed some water on it so I can pack alot of the color to my lid. I blended it with a clean brush.

Then, the color you prefer for your lid, sprayed some water again to the brush, then pack it on your lid. Voila! The color will be more opaque than the usual! More darker though. But I like it. :D i used that dark green and black right there in the nichido palette.

Then that green in the Avon Color Fold up Palette as the blending color because I dont think using a brown color as a blending color would work. :p 

BLEND, blend and blend! Hehehe. :p

Can I just rant about this NYX SMLC in Athens? Gahd. The perfect nude for me! :">  i got this from bodyrockers in IG! :D

For the rest of my makeup, I didnt use foundation so you still can see my veins and imperfections there! Hahaha. Naah, I was too lazy and I feel my eyes are going to be more irritated if Im going to layer more makeup :( But I cant help myself from not playing with my makeup :( Hahaha. 

Used concealers (yes concealers! I used my nyx concealer and LA Girl Pro conceal) to hide my blemishes, and to brighten the undereyes. 

Used my jazzy brow gel for the brows.

Sansan black gel eyeliner

False eyelash

There! :D til next post! Oh! Im running out of ideas for make up looks, can you guys comment what you like for me to try? :)

Kokuryu Summer Cake in Puggy Pink!

I was hesitant to try this summer cake before because of its smell that reminds me of the HS Days pageants and promenades. Hahaha.

I used this cake for a test look for my Grad Ball.  At first, It was very pinkish but once I put more product and blend it to my skin, it matches my skin tone.

 Here's the finish look!

This is just a test look but at the grad ball night I used the half false eyelashes and mua luxe lip lacquer in reckless. Refer to the last photo! =)

Just to be safe I set it with my Maybelline Pressed Powder in shade Natural.  It lasted for the whole night!  I didnt even need to retouch but the strong vanilla-ish scent stayed. :(

I used my Avon Color Fold Up Pallette (Da's gift to me! <3)

A closer look.  Spare my ungroomed brows.

 the false eyelashes I bought last time.. I cut it by half because I didnt wanna over-do my makeup.

I also used my ELF Baked Highlighter and Mist/Setting Spray (Oh, I think it really helped for the longevity of the cake foundation and my whole makeup!) I've been loving the highlighter!  It really gives you a glowing skin! I got it from The Primp Pad!

Avon Color Fold Up Pallette: Reviews & Swatches!

I got this from Da! <3  It an early Christmas gift from him, I guess? Yes, he’s a HIM.  lol. anyways! I saw this first from Avon’s facebook page.  It did caught my eye since I’m in search for a good eyeshadow pallette.  Maybe Da pitied me last time when he saw me using and being envy with my classmate’s Sephora eyeshadow pallette. :p

I havent used this though. Since I have no time for doing my full make up JUST FOR school. But with the various eyeshadows, blushes and lipglosses I guess I can come up with a decent look soon. <3


*If you guys are wondering why my pictures has watermarks, because I used to have my blog on Tumblr. In that link. ;) *


Here’s the packaging:

What it looks like before opening. * It has this white cover but I just removed it.* See those violet bubbles? Cute right? Very elegant!

It’s super cute too!

Here’s a whole look for this:
It contains, a mirror  18 lip glosses (oh no lipsticks?) 3 blushes and 18 eyeshadows!

Hey there! Closer look for the mirror and lipglosses:

Blushes and Eyeshadows!

SWATCHING TIME! :D

Swatches for the eyeshadows!

2nd row:

3rd row:

Verdict:

(Wow, I sound like a professional blogger. Lol.)

It’s pigmented! :D  The colors can be used from daytime look to a night time one. :D

I think all of them are shimmery though, no matte eyeshadows but it’s okay! I loved the colors! :D

No strong smell :D


For the lasting power, I cant really say since I haven;t used this.  But for me,  eyeshadows will really last with eyelid primers!

PS.

I really hope our Local cosmetic brands here in the Philippines can really come up with a good eyeshadow pallette.  Eyeshadows only.  Hihi.
That ends my post! <3
