Phewww... I still manage to swim and dive during this intensive period, but no time for anything else. Yup, no time for makeup too :'(
I do simple makeup for three reasons: 1) busy, 2) lazy or 3) when I need to go out for unimportant event in short period of time, say doing grocery or grabbing quick lunch.
Do you know that simple makeup can actually make you appeal to be younger?
I would say at least 2 years younger than your real age. Seriously.
You should try this too! It's super easy.
I'm using L'egere BB cream as foundation.
Apply a small amount on your wrist first. It's easier to control the amount of coverage. You can always add more if needed. Then, gently apply BB cream all over your face by using a foundation brush.
Use a dry sponge, lightly run the sponge over your face to set the foundation. This helps create a light weight and effortless look.
BB cream contains SPF ingredients that will make your face looks a bit too shinny at night. So, I apply loose powder to create a matte finish. Don't apply too much, watch out for cakey and powdery geisha-look.
The foundation is set. Now focus on the eyebrows.
I'm using a dark brown color Marjolica Marjoca eyebrow pencil. Carefully define the shape of your eyebrows by drawing from the center, not the front. Then evenly brush them with eyebrow brush.
Choose a champagne and apply it on your eyelids. Also, use it to highlight the eyebrow bone.
Choose an earth shade and apply in on the outer corner of your upper lids. This will bring more definition to your eyes and make them look brighter. Remember to blend these two eyeshadow colors.
I'm using Revlon Colorstay eyeliner for this makeup. Draw the line as close to the upper lash-line as possible, following the natural curve of your eyelid. A thin line will do the job.
Not to forget mascara! Curl your eyelashes first!
I'm using Fasio Mascara Base to add more volume to my lashes.
Then, I apply (1) for lengthening and follow by (2) for extra, fuller lashes ^^
I use Jane Bronzer as blush sometimes. The earth shade goes under my cheekbones, yet the light pink is used to bring more definition to forehead and jaw.
I know, it is funny. But this awkward tweety-bird exercise is the only way to find your cheekbone. Remember to tap off any excess blush powder before applying.
Lastly, dab your favorite lip balm to keep your lips supple and moisturized.
You are set! Time for camwhoring~~
Isn't it beverliciously simple?
Good luck~~
P/S: Sorry about the low quality pictures. All of them were taken at nighttime cause I did the makeup before going out for dinner with Chean. Some of them were taken by my digital camera, some with my lappie. This won't happen again, promise!
