Spring Makeup


via Instagram http://ift.tt/22NN6rV

I am gearing up for full spring mode. My eyes here have orange, pink, terracota, rose gold, etc. Yup, some blending happened to make everything look cohesive and seamless but it's all good. Besides, i was working with #makeupforeverartistshadows and my #shuuemura nude palette which are superb eyeshadows so it wasn't hard at all to blend. I think it turned out well, don't you? I was so inspired by the eyelook that i also decided to do an ombré lip to continue with the colorful theme. For this, i used the unlikeliest pair, #maybelline creamy matte #vibrantviolet and #cravingcoral . If you're so inclined to try ombré lips yourself just: 1) Pick two colors you think will go well together. Typically, the lighter color goes on the inner part of your lips and the darker on the outer. Of course, you can do the opposite too. 2) Apply the darker lipcolor first as you usually apply lipcolor. 3) Dab the lighter color onto the inner parts of your lips. 4) Blot. 💋 5) This step is optional. Put lipgloss onto your lips. This will help the colors blend together. Don't do this if you want matte or non-glossy lips, obviously.

Brush Review. The MAC 221 Mini Tapered Blending Brush. It's described in the MAC website as a shadow-blending brush used for application and blending of powders. I've vacillated between getting this brush and a flat shader brush because I thought it might be redundant with my 224. It isn't. It applies shadows in a more precise and targeted manner than my 224. Simply, the track of color it leaves behind is thinner and smaller so if you want to do more detailed work, this is a must-have. This is also velvety soft. No scratchiness at all, unlike the 224. The way I use this brush, I apply my crease color, which is usually dark or medium brown, blend it out a little using a window wiping motion. After, I use my 224 to apply my transition color, usually a light brown or tan, at the top part of my crease and blend that out a little as well using the same side to side motion. I gotta say, this is one of my best brush purchases due to the uniqueness of its utility and how gosh-darn soft it is. Good news, this was a limited edition brush but is now permanent. Bad news, during my vacillating period, I've noticed that MAC stores only have 1 or 2 of this brush in stock so if this becomes more popular it might be difficult to find.

On National Lipstick Day

Image
via Instagram http://ift.tt/2aYoSDp This is me being bummed because i totally missed out on #nationallipstickday even though i have a shameful number of new lipsticks to review. Sorry. I have been exhausted and uninspired lately. I hope to do better in the following days. In the meantime, here's an #motd . Primer #niveapostshavebalm sensitive. This was discovered and populararized by the fabulous and hilarious @nikkietutorials . It's supposed to help keep your makeup stay longer and better throughout the day. Now, I'm not sure it does that. I think I'll have to do one of those half face tests to be certain. This, however, did not break me out and, considering it's one of the more affordable primers out there, it's worth checking it out.
