wedding makeup…

March 11, 2009 at 5:01 pm · Filed under makeups

makeThe other day i did a makeup test for my brother’s wedding. it’s really been awhile but i think i still have it ^_^… for the akad nikah i wanted a natural  and fresh look but but i’m scared if the makeup will eventually look pale especially in the pictures. so i try using some intense colors but still in the natural tones like brown and gold with a touch of black, rosey cheeks (i tried red lipstick just to see if she can carry off red coz not many can pull that color off) and i think she looks stunning anyhow…

foundation-base-step-1

the very first step is to …

  1. clean face and get moisturized.
  2. then apply base/ primer this is to get that wonderful glow on your skit plus it’ll even out any imperfections.
  3. then apply concealer at your dark circles, under eyes,blemishes etc, with dabbing motion. DON’T RUB!just dab, then apply foundation evenly.eyemakeup-step21

Next is to start coloring the eyes…

  1. start with the brow. trim/pluck any ‘wild(unwanted)’ brow. DO NOT OVER DO IT! or you’ll look like someone who’s stuck in the 70s. then use brow pencil or brow powder using brow brush, start lightly filling in the brow. enhance the brow but dont over do it or you’ll look fake!
  2. in the no2. picture both brow are already drawn and then start applying a nude base eyeshadow. this is to enhance the eyeshadow more.
  3. then apply the highlights /the lightest color, all over your eyes,including the rims of your eyes to create a somewhat smokey eyes then in my cake i’m using gold. then apply a darker tone in my case i’m using brown at the corner of your eyes just below the eye bone to create 3d effect.
  4. then apply a dark brown eyeliner or black eyeliner on your eyelids and the rims of your eyes.
  5. lastly apply black mascara, about 2 coats or so. use mabeline they have the best mascara ever!
  1. almost-done1apply  eyeliner to define eyes
  2. then apply mascara
  3. then apply lipliner pink or nude shade
  4. then apply pink lipstick oh yeah don’t forget the  blusher, use slightly darker pink for night time and vis a versa. to apply blush just smile and blush away in a circular movement like an infinity/eight symbol..this way it somehow even out the color.

final-makeupthis is the final out come. the make up is the same here and i only changed the lipstick color. isn’t it great with just a change of lipstick color the whole appearance changes!

Recommendation: Makeup Madeup…

February 2, 2009 at 4:46 pm · Filed under Ramblings, makeups ·Tagged ,

my mom and 1 went to Sunway Pyramid the other day in search of a perfect gift for my futur sister in law…as we were walking and searching along with more or less  with dissapointment then we walked into this makeup boutique the Brand name is Inuovi. Honestly i haven’t heard about this brand before but judging from the boutique outlook and the products, i think its not a ‘cikai’ brand (cikai means lousy). Its also abit pricy, especially to someone who’s middle  or sometimes NO income like me. But we went and test the products and we love it! Totally! the sales persons are also friendly and not so pushy (i like that in a sales person). Coz i hate those ‘hard sell’ promoter forcing us to buy things that we don’t want…*grinds teeth* anyway we bought some makeups as gifts for my future sister in law and we also ended up buying some for ourselves… i mean i love the powder, foundations and the eye colors and liners… i mean i really really love it. why? i tell you why…

  1. because i have an ULTRA sensitive skin, and i hardly can wear any makeup coz my skin with have burning sansation but with iNuovi i can finally wear makeup again. which means they probably use mild ingredients suitable for sensitive skin like mine.
  2. the colors are intense and does not fade or smudge as easy – love it!
  3. the foundations and powders are easy blending and you can find the perfect match for your skin tone
  4. the make up is CAMERA friendly!!! makes you look alot better than without makeup or other makeup <– i was told that iNuovi is camera friendly coz it was initially used for studio/stage purpose somewhat like Kryolan
  5. Excellent concealer! <–my no1 choice next to bobbi brown’s

the down side is that the price of these products doesn’t come cheap ( i admit i’ve spent alot on these and hubby was not very pleased) so if i may suggest; you can mix brand but for iNuovi, make sure you chose iNuovi for the concealer or powder/foundation. Then you can later try the eye and cheeks colors. The eye colors are somewhat like MAC so you may compare the price and buy the more economy ones but i think iNuovi color last longer but if you use Fix it lotion before applying the eyeshadow it’ll last even longer and will prevent the unwanted goo developing at your crease of the eyes (this happens especially if you have oily skin or live in a humid weather…)

INUOVI MUST have:

  1. Perfector full coverage concealer: why we love this? coz its crease resistance and Anti-cakeand of course provide high coverage!
  2. Undercover: Under Eye Dark circle corrector
  3. Facefix UV compact powder
  4. Litebase: light diffusing liquid foundation
