Easy Soft Pink Makeup Tutorial

Hi there! Today I'm back with a soft pink makeup tutorial.

I am currently still trying to play with the camera settings to get colours to show up properly.. so apologies if it seems a little bit off! I will keep trying!

Here's the complete look

First and foremost, prime your face with your favourite primer to prevent your makeup from slipping and sliding down the face throughout the day. Here I used Laura Mercier Oil Free Primer.

Before

MAC Paintpot in Fresco Rose; YSL Teint Resist in number 5

Create a natural looking canvas for the rest of the makeup. Prime your eye lids with a pink tone base in order for the shadows to adhere better.

Coastal Scents 42 Colours Shadow and Blush Palette

Pink

Use a light shimmery pink and pat it all over the lid.

Maroon and Orange-red

Use the maroon colour and lightly shade the outer corner. With orange red, go across the upper lash line as if you are lining your eyes (I recommend to use a small shader brush or angled liner for this part).

Tight line your eyes!

This is what the colours will look like at this point...

With a light brown matte shadow, contour the eyes where the socket would set in. You can skip this part if you find it unnecessary.

LORAC Front of the line Pro Liner in Black

Line your upper lash line

As you can see, the brown gives the eyes a bit of dimension.

Using the blush from the same Coastal Scents palette (2nd from left; top row), lightly dust across your cheeks.

Matte Pink Blush

Finish your look with a pink-purple lipstick! :)

Maybelline Vivids in 860 Pink Pop

Finish look

There you go! This look is suitable for a date night out to movies or dinner :)

Have a great week!

Le Rouge Givenchy Lipstick Review

Hi all! Happy Spring time! Although it is still extremely cold and windy over here, but a lot of places are starting to warm up for sure!

I tend to wear brighter clothing and brighter lip colours as the weather turns warmer. Vibrant colours make me feel happier :) I was lucky enough to receive some products from Givenchy for the season and I would like to share about them with you guys!

Givenchy Le Rouge

The lipstick came in this cute tiny paper bag with 2 mini keychains! I loveeee them! The lipstick keychain is now hanging out with my house keys. :)

Mini lipstick!

Le Rouge in 301 Magnolia Organza

There are 17 colours in this collection ranging from neutrals to brights. The colour that I have here is a bright fuchsia pink and looks absolutely amazing with all skin tones!

The lipstick is packaged in luxurious and soft black leather, a material that made an iconic presence in Givenchy fashion shows.

The lipstick is extremely pigmented and gives a creamy finish on your lips. Even if you don't have the habit of lining your lips, it does not bleed. It wears well, although not extremely long lasting, but you will only need to touch up once during lunch time for a full day of wear.

Me wearing the lipstick

The picture definitely does not do the lipstick any justice! It is much more vibrant in person that it looks on the picture. 

They are sold exclusively at Sephora, so do drop by and try them on! They really do feel amazing on the lips.

Thank you for always supporting my blog! :D

Skin 79 Super + BB Cream Triple Functions (Pink) Review/ Quick Makeup Tutorial

Hi there! Today I'm here to review a Korean BB cream that I've owned and tried for a very long time. In conjunction to that, I also decided to do a very quick look that it suitable for everyday or work if you are short of time for makeup.

ELF Glossy Gloss in Sweet Salmon; Maybelline Falsies Mascara; Tarte Amazonian Clay Blush in Dollface; Skin79 Super + BB Cream; ELF Studio Blush Brush; Physicians Formula Eye Brightening Pencil

Those are the only products I'll be using for look, it's quick and simple, and can be easily completed in less than 5 minutes! 

Before

I applied and blend the BB cream using my fingers.

BB Cream application + Tight lined with Physicians Formula Eye Pencil

Use a blush brush to apply your favourite pink blush on the cheeks and complete the look with your favourite lip gloss!

Now the review for Skin79 Super + BB Triple Function Cream.

Skin 79 BB Cream

This product has a grey tint upon application, it will blend out to fit your skin tone after oxidisation. However it probably will not work if you have really tanned skin.

Close up

It will feel rather sticky on your face once you apply it, though after about 10 minutes it will feel very smooth and not oily. This BB cream claims to have benefits such as skin whitening, wrinkle free (?), and a SPF 25 PA++ sun protection.

Pros:

• Light weight
• Light to medium coverage
• Smooth finish
• Fragrance free

Cons:

• Difficult to purchase if you're not in Asia, hence the price can be elevated due to the same reason
• Grey tint, visible in pictures
• Lack of colour selection

If you have any BB cream that you recommend or want me to try please leave a comment! ^.^

Bold Pink & Gold Makeup Tutorial

Happy Tuesday! I bet everyone in Canada is looking forward to the long weekend ahead :)

I'm going to share a rather bold and colourful look today. Perhaps this is not your everyday look, but it's certainly good to experiment with some different looks once in a while!

Complete Look

Start off your face with some moisturiser. For this look, I recommend to apply the foundation and concealer after since it will have some fall outs from the eyeshadows we are going to use today. Feel free to substitute any colour or product with what you own. You don't have to go all out to purchase the exact same thing!

NYX Jumbo Eye Pencil in Milk; Too Faced Shadow Insurance

Prime your eyes with Too Faced Shadow Insurance and then use NYX Jumbo Eye Pencil sparingly. The white base will enhance the colours we will be using later. Blend out.

Apply white base for the colours to pop!

Gold eyeshadow; Boujour gold eyeshadow pigment in 02; Sigma E55

I used 2 different gold and overlay each other to create the tone I desire. Apply only on the centre of your lid.

Gold on the centre is the lid

Dark pink eyeshadow; Sigma E25

Use the blending brush with a dark pink colour and blend across your socket. Since I don't have a defined socket, I placed it where it looks best.

MAC Beauty Marked; Sigma E30 Pencil Brush

Use a dark purple or black with a pencil brush to define the outer corner of your eyes. This will make your eyes stand out. 

Like that!

Use the same pencil brush and the purple colour to line the outer part of the lower lash line. Choose either one of the gold colour we used before to highlight the inner corner and inner part of the lower lash line. 

Blend out the eyeshadows using a clean blending brush. Feel free to reapply any colour that faded during blending.

MAC Black Track Fluid Line; Furless Eyeliner Brush

Tight line with Mac's eyeliner.

Maybelline Falsies Mascara; Maybelline Master Precise Eyestudio Eyeliner

Almost done..

Apply mascara and you're done with the eyes :)

Close up

I used a bright pink lippie as it works best for this look.

Victoria Secret's Beauty Rush Glossy Lip Tint

Sigma F40 Brush; NYC Sunny Bronzer

I chose to use the bronzer to contour and also as a blush. This bronzer is suitable for that as it is rather light.
