♪ 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~!

♪ 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
