♪ New glasses look! + FOTD

I got new glasses~~ I lost my old one at our lab the night I finished my final project lol, I think I was way too out of it to notice anything but I'm glad it stayed with me till the project finished... otherwise~~ > <
My old pair was the black framed ones everyone owns.. I got so bored of it so I decided to go with metal frame which makes me look more like an office lady (I think, lol) I think this will be great for interviews haha~~ cuz I look much smarter and more mature :PActually I hate to wear glasses cuz I look sooo nerdy in them... so please be prepared before you scroll down . . .



Nerdy face with glasses... pls ignore the hair... = =;;



I can't really call this "Tip for makeup for glasses" cuz I don't like my face in glasses = = but I can share some thoughts on it... if anyone has good makeup tips for glasses please teach me~

When I'm wearing glasses it either means I have too little time to do anything to my face or I didn't sleep.. lol but at least I still have eye makeup in this picture~ but no matter how little time you have, undereye concealer is a MUST when wearing glasses because glasses, just like hats also cast shadows and make your dark circles darker! Another annoying thing about near-sighted glasses is they make your eyes appear smaller, especially the ones with nose pads (like the ones I'm wearing here) cuz the lens is farther away from your eyes than the plastic ones; so I always try to at least put on eyeliner. I usually wear noticable lipstick when I'm wearing glasses cuz they do make your face more plain = =



What I'm wearing

• Zara sheer cotton shirt
• Urban Outfitters ripped jeans
• animal print pumps
• vintage straw bag
• my new glass :p

FOTD, my usual makeup and NYX round lipstick in Tea, a brownish nude tone :D

In conclusion... I prefer me without glasses,, lol

See you next time! :D

♪ Mei's FOTD: simple sailor girl look

I'm a huge lover of hats, they can easily add fashion element in an outfit; today's look is super easy; point of this look is definitely the hair+ hat. For a day look, I kept the face makeup natural and eye makeup minimal with a punch of lip colour.

Eyes

• Revlon Colorstay eyeshadow in Sterling Rose (I only used the grey colour)
• Using a soft eye pencil to extend upper eye line
• Curl lashes and apply mascara
• Line 2/3 of the bottom eye line VERY lightly

Lip

For the sailor girl look, a punch of lip colour is essential; I used NYX round lipstick in Doll; which is a very soft and dewy pinky red; perfect for a day look.

Hair

Wear your beret hat with bare forehead and bouncy curls for face slimming effect; I used 2 velcro rollers for each side; and used hot roller on the ends to give some extra curl. Use a pin at the back of the hat to hold it in place. My hat is from Uniqlo for only equivalent to $10 :P

Face

• Covermark concealer stick in Y-1
• Mary Kay mineral foundation in Ivory 1
• Diorshow face loose powder (blush) in Catwalk Pink

I hope you enjoyed the look! :D

♣ Ai' FOTD: DAY 6 (Lipstick-A-Day)

Not much of an update I would say >< (sorry readers...) 

Just showing my FOTD/my face.

On a day-to-day basis my makeup is very simple and easy to do. This is basically what I look like on a normal day. 

(wearing GEO Ash Wing circle lenses)

Eyes:

- Line top and bottom lash line with a peach-gold shimmer eyeliner; here I used Jumbo Pencil from Sephora in Flesh. 

- Apply mascara: 2 coats of Maybelline Full N' Soft waterproof mascara and 2 coats of Sephora Lash plumper mascara. (curl lashes prior to applying mascara)

*For those who are tight on time in the morning, lining the top and bottom lash line with a colour liner or shimmer liner will create interest and dramatize your eyes. It takes longer to apply black eyeliner versus colour/shimmer liners, because black eyeliner requires precision and careful application. You never want your black eyeliner to smudge (unless its smokey eye), but it really doesn't matter if your shimmer liner smudges. If you are lazy like me, you should definitely include different type of liners in your makeup routine.

Lips:

Another wonderful peachy nude lipstick; NYX Round lipstick in Frappucino. It is a colour you can use everyday. I find NYX Round lipsticks a little more drying than the Rimmel lipsticks, but they are great for their price ($2) and pigmentation is consistent. To keep you lips moisturized, remember to apply vaseline or lip balm prior to applying the lipstick. 

Base makeup:

After preping my skin, I mix Clarins UV Plus sunscreen (spf 40) with La Roche-Posay Toleriane corrective fluid foundation and apply it all over my face, then I proceed to conceal any imperfections with La Roche foundation. This foundation covers redness like no other and it is a full coverage foundation, any minor imperfections can be easily covered.

That's all~ Have fun <3

♪ Earthy nude makeup look

This is a look that has a little edge to it; I wore this to attend my friend's fashion show. It's great for such semi-formal occasions because you want to look fashionable and made up but not overdone to resemble club makeup.

I did this look on top of my day makeup; I had my normal base makeup; mascara and liner.

Before

Eyes

• Apply an earthy eye shadow and contour your eyes, I used the palatte introduced in the previous post. http://aimeidaily.blogspot.com/2010/01/testing.html
• Apply bottom liner and smudge them to prep for the bottom lashes.
• I only used bottom false lashes for this look; cut the lashes in 3 parts and apply the 2 outter part.
• I reapplied a couple layers of mascara on my top lashes and curled them some more so they are standing up.

I'm wearng Neo Angle Tritone colour contacts.

Face

On top of my normal day base makeup (concealer, mineral foundation); apply some bronzer to add definition and high light your nose bridge and cheek bone. Add some peach/nude blush or bronzer to your cheeks. Don't use pink!

At this point all my makeup is done; but my natural lips is not giving me enough edge to the look.

Lips

Apply a brown-tone nude lipstick; I'm using NYX round lipstick in Tea. NYX lipstick gives very good coverage without help from any lipstick base; this Tea colour gives you the perfect earthy nude lips right away.

Have fun~!
