To be honest, of course it is bias since it is my personal opinions, but looking at fashion magazines (Americans) & images of models from makeup and fashion worlds, most of them are very light skin. I can never have green or beautiful blue eyes or skin that are as light as them and therefore- certain colors do not have the same affect.  I am all about embracing our individual qualities and making the best of them, but it'll be nice to see certain "looks" projected onto other types of models.

1st look: very light brows, bright red/orange lips, natural eyes


2nd look: Naturally defined brows, soft makeup, define cheeks, and soft muted mauve lips





3rd look: Very strong eyebrows, very light makeup, strong and bold deep mauve lips





It's pretty how the sunset makes my hair red, but too much red is not good
Such a funny story. I was lying on the grass hoping to take a quick picture and some people were walking by, I was so scared that I jumped up and started running around the corner... =(

Cherry blossom season is approaching! So beautiful!

For this "shoot"- I used very minimal makeup and very little products, what I normally use, no foundation.
-Rimmel Fix & Perfect primery
- Almay pencil (eye liner)
-New eyelash curler that really holds curls (will be available on Beyou's soon)
- Maybelline's Falsies mascara
-Victoria Secret Bare Bronze palette (available at Beyou's shop)
-Benefit lip gloss
-Beyou's 28 pro smoky palettes
-various lip colors
-Missha BB cream #23

My favorite place to put on makeup would be in my car, during day light with the mirror in the front seat- and that's exactly where I put on my makeup for all of these pictures; especially in a beautiful park.   Everything is much easier because the mirror's directly facing you and you can really tell what the makeup will come out to be.  

I tried to be miminal because I left the house late and I was afraid the sun might set- so I had to work fast to catch the rays.  After the first look, took some pictures, went and fix the 2nd looks and add on colors along with taking off the lipstick, and after the 2nd look, add shadows and add on more lipstick. I hope people didn't think I was weird putting makeup in my car and coming out w/ new looks each time. Overall, it was a great time practicing makeup =) I love playing with my eye shadow color palettes because you never know what the end colors will be and don't overdo on one color!

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 ...

Create a relationship that encourages openness

Is it easier to be consumed in the life I want to live and and not pay attention to the life I have, especially to those who are most close to me. The balance between the external and internal worlds we balance and manage on a daily basis can overshadow how life moves swiftly and quickly through the lives of our loved ones. If I could go back a few years ago or 10 years ago, I would wish I'd take more time to be myself and to build a relationship of openness and encouragement. It's crazy how we can share our deepest fears and our entire worlds with friends, yet, within our own family, we are so afraid to share those secrets. Share your secrets and fears with your family, regardless of the situation, they will be there for you.

It's been x days of running

This was me roughly 3 weeks ago when I first embarked on my journey to run everyday for 100 days. Before this project, it was difficult for me to complete a 1 mile run or jog, without huffing and puffing, but after 3 weeks, I can make it to 1 mile without wanting to give up. I used to be quite jealous of people who sweat a lot at the gym because I did not have the perseverance to run to the point where I would sweat, I just gave up too easily. People say if you fully commit yourself to something for 100 days, you'll blown yourself away, you might even be really good at it. To be honest, I have not run everyday since I have started, but I have done the best I can within the last 3 weeks. I should be up to 5 miles/run now, but this is the breaking point. I've jogged up to 4 miles (with a walking break after every mile), but my mentality hasn't been there recently. I run at our local community center and I would watch The Big Bang Theory  or Modern Family  as...
