My love for makeup

It's never been easier to document visually anything than now. Mobile devices makes the process faster, easier, and "sharable." I'm happy +Google+ has made it easier than ever to have all your photos from years ago in one place, at least if you have Android. As today is a new year, looking back at photos of years ago remind us of what we loved and what we aspired to be.

Below are a compilation of pictures of my "journey" to practice makeup, not only to look and feel better, but it gives me a chance to be creative. Learning makeup brings out the artistic qualities in me and indeed, it can be a great distraction during stressful times.

My interpretation from Black Swan (the movie)

Yup, I even started a YoutTube channel!

I only knew how to apply 2 colors, over and over every day, on every single look.

I experimented with different mascaras for us girls who have no lashes. (Limpy, thin, lashes that don't curl= waterproof mascara!)

Matt lips are my favorite! I love beautiful colors on the eyes.

Eye liner is quiet tricky. Clear skin is the greatest foundation!

Tyra Banks said add a tiny bit of sparkles near the tear ducts to make your eyes look more wide awake! I listened!

Ah, bronzers and highlighters!

The days of the super thin eye brows...

Nails were painted on using a creamy eye shadow color. Inspiration from photo below.

Learning to contour the nose

Bruins for life!

Arranging and breaking down all lipsticks...

Festive for the holidays!

Trying to create tutorials for myself. I can never repeat the same look twice :(

Matte lipsticks can be too matte!

Beyoumakeupshop came about!

Inspirations to one day be great at makeup!

Punched in the eye! ;)

I love my short hair!

Love neutrals!

Inspired by Swan Lake musicals

That's me!

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 ...

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...
