Fall Night 2010 Look (my most improved makeup work so far)


I'm blogging crazy tonight. I've been practicing with makeup once again.

Eyebrows
One problem I have is I don't know how to fill in my brows, I have watched many YouTube gurus' tutorials on the art of filling in brows, but I can't do it yet. Is it because all the hairs are growing in one way and they should be trimmed more?


Face
Primer & foundations
stippling brush & method

 
New thing I've tried is mixing my Rimmel's Fix (left) & Perfect Face Primer & my Missha BB cream #23 together (right). BB creams are great because they are suppose to help with blemishes and it's good for your skin, yet the color choices are rather limited, and well, it comes off with a "white cast." it's one of the recent hottest products in Asia.

Therefore I mixed it with my Fix & Perfect (left) to give it some color, mattify the skin, and to even out the skin tone.

 
Why I rarely wear foundations
Like I've mentioned in my previous posts, I don't wear fondations unless I go to special events, but I do try to wear eye makeup. I want my face to look natural and well, I don't want to try to look too different from how I naturally am.   

If I do go out, I just apply my Rimmel's Fix & Perfect Face Primer + setting powder. However, if I do wear foundations, I usually just use a flat brush from ELF's. 

I've recently bought a "stippling" brush and it's incredibly soft! It's the softest thing I've ever touch. People say when you stipple your foundation on, it's suppose to give a more flawless and "air-brush" effect. Therefore I tried this method with this brush for the 1st time...& voila...
 
With flash
I think this brush did a really good job, even if the bristle are rather more delicate and incredibly soft. It does look more smooth & softer than when I just use my hands or a flat brush. I really like this method!


Here is what the foundation looks like on the side of my face with the acne spots &holes. Stippling helps to fill in those holes rather than just to swipe them on, as a flat brush or our hands may do.


Here is the foundation with the other side of my face, the nicer side, except I had a few dry spots (as you can see near the mouth).


And...Finally!




I'm most proud of myself for today's look because it's my most complete makeup look I have ever done on myself, especially for the eyes; since I'm still relatively inexperience and new. Inspired by fall colors as the base and the family of "purples."



My most favorite part of this look are the eyes and sort of Fall 2010 Makeup Trend inspired of  the more natural lip stain.

5 Wet n Wild lipstick swatches, why customers' reviews are important to a business, WIN free eyeshadow!

 Practicing makes perfect, repetition with practice is even better I had told myself I'd dedicate an hour every day to practicing makeup applications but the past couple of weeks have been so busy for me that I haven't been able to- but then whenever I do practice, I always try the same groups of colors on the eyes and same techniques. My goal is next time I practice, I will have a YouTube video on and practice along with the guru as well. You assume once you watch something, you can replicate the same colors and techniques after- but not I. I do not want Beyoumakeupshop's customers nor my friends, or people I know to think I am always about promoting our own products. I really do try to find different ways to use the products, research on the products and reviews, and I do try to test on myself prior to adding them. I have not tested nor use everything in the Shop, but hopefully over time I will be able to. Why customers' reviews are important to a business I bel

I'm grateful for work =)

The weather has been sooo cold here in Northern California, much colder than last year =(  I don't think I can ever imagine myself living anywhere but the warm states, unless its New York and there's no need to drive with the subway/cabs. Ay, with the 30 for 30 challenge, I have been so uncreative, but now that I'm starting to work, I'll be more out of the box of my typical self and practice wearing different makeup at the same time.  I'm so grateful because I finally found a part time job and after the first day of work (yesterday), I was so tired and end up sick. From now on, I will make sure to keep myself warm and wear tons of layers of clothing because it is so easy to get sick in this type of weather. One of most dislike situations is being sick- it just makes you feel helpless and weak. I'm gong to make sure I work extra hard and always do my best because I'm so grateful to have found it. How do people work full time, go to school, and still raise

Review: Maybelline's Eye Studio Lasting Drama Gel Eyeliner

Maybelline's Eye Studio Lasting Drama Gel Eyeliner   in  Blackest Black  is very creamy and super gentle when applied to the lids, not to mention the brush is definitely a great add in as well. I remember when I first bought the L'oreal Hip Gel Eyeliner, the tiny brush that came with it was super stiff and horrible, but this brush is more flexible and it can be use to fling your winged eyeliners and such.  Would I repurchase this product again?  Yes, I really want to   eggplant .  In terms of staying power, I have really oily lids, so when I had this on the other day, it lasted a lot longer than I thought (although I don't remember how many hours, definitely not 24 though because I could tell part of the liner was fading).  I'm sure if you apply an eye primer base or your concealer, it would last a very long time.    I took this picture right after I bought the product because I was so excited to try it since it had so many wonderful reviews and it does look prett
