♪ Glamorous nudy holiday makeup


Reading week feels like holiday this year because it overlaps with both Valentine's day and Chinese new year; so of course lots of partying and outtings, hence the long absence of updating :P

Today's look is all about making use of fake lashes, it is glamorous however still natural enough to go to dinner parties and all that sort.

For fake lashes I like cutting them into 3 parts and depending on the occasion I use different parts of the lashes. For this look I'm using 2/3 of the top lashes and 2/3 of the bottom lashes;

Do the fake lashes after all your makeup is done. I used purple eye shadow today to match the nude lips later on. This is how it looks with only top lashes.




After applying the bottom lashes;



And add some white glitter at the other 2/3 of your bottom lash line.



Line the rest of the bottom liner with a soft black eyeliner. Curl your top fake lashes together with your own lashes; then apply mascara; this not only helps to combine the two sets of lashes you have on; but also to hold the fakies in place better.



To get the ideal nudy lips I use Mac Lipglass in C-thru; it gives the perfect colour and shine; and you don't even need a nude lip base because the coverage is so good! I only applied some Vaseline before the Mac.

Point of this look: Nude cheeks! Don't use any blush but opt for bronzer if you want some definition in your face; and use some highlights on your nose bridge and cheekbones.

And you are done!! Super easy right?





I use Neo Angle Tritone colour contacts here; it gives me the perfect light and dramatic eyes :)

Have fun~<3

♣ Ai's FOTD: DAY 5 (Lipstick-A-Day)

Yes... its day 5 of the lipstick-a-day... TT_TT I just didn't upload the previous days, which I will do soon (I hope...)

Went out to dinner with friends, so I decided to look decent for once :P
This look is pretty simple; volumous lashes with a bright lip. Enjoy~

EYES
 
(A) MAC: Typographic matte2 shadow
(B) Mark: Get Bright Highligher
(C) Ardell: Invisible Demi-Wispies, black
(D) Shu Uemura Eyeliner: black
(E) MAC: 266 Liner brush
(F) Ardell: Adhesive lash glue
(G) Maybelline: Full N' Soft waterproof mascara, black
      Avon: Wash-off waterproof mascara, black













1) Use (B) to highlight under eye and corner
2) Curl lashes and apply mascara, (G)
- I like to apply my mascara before my liner to avoid smudging my liner
3) Apply (A) shadow with liner brush (E) as eyeliner
- I wet the brush first to use the eyeshadow as a liner, but any type of liner will work just fine
4) Tight-line your upper lash line with (D)
5) Cut (C) into 3 pieces for left and right false lashes, apply lash glue (F) to the cut false lashes, then stick it closest to your lash line
- I actually applied the falsies below my lash line, but you can apply the falsies above your lash line it will still be fine. Its just I found that it looks more natural when falsies are applied below you lash line (maybe I should do another tutorial on how this is done???)
(6) Retouch your tight-line and eyeliner if necessary












The end result should look something like this :D
I am wearing Geo Honey Wings.

LIP + CHEEK
    



















(H) Revlon: Super Lustrous Lipstick, 750 Kiss Me Coral (creme)
(I) Avon: Smooth Minerals, Blushed Rose
(J) Vaseline

7) Apply (I) blush
8) Moisturize your lips with lip balm or vaseline (J)
9) Apply a bold lipstick (H)


Easy and classic look. Good for casual outings because you don't look overdone :)






I will update soon with other lipstick-a-day looks soon ><...
