Make-up Collaboration: Valentine’s Date Look

I feel like it has been AGES since my last FOTD post! But 2012 was an amazing year and 2013 is going pretty well.

Ahem ahem..the inevitable has come! It’s Valentine’s Day and whether you will be going out with a date or not, there’s absolutely no reason for you to not look your prettiest on heart’s day. :) 

For my first official make-up post this year, I have teamed up with five other lovely bloggers. We have created different looks befitting for anyone who wants to look fresh, blooming and oh so in love! Check ‘em all out.

Jannie, Eyah, Michelle, Joyce, Misha

Okay, so I am NOT saying I know a lot about them but being in engineering I have been with a handful of men..the rowdiest of the bunch (but I adore you guys to bits..BEST buds EVER!). And I tell you, they know NOTHING of make-up and boys tend to like girls with less make-up on. Basically, they would be happier to see a polished version of ourselves. :)

For this look, I stayed away from strong brows (used a light hand to tame ‘em), bold lips and lashes. One of the few looks I have done with no falsies on. Which means something because I am extremely addicted to that stuff. But if you want to add length, you can cheat ‘em by using individual lashes and a few coats of mascara.

If you can’t stay away from color, you can always use a lip color of your choice. And if you’re sockets are near invisible (like mine), nude-ish eyeshadows to create a subtle crease will work like magic.

PRODUCTS USED

Neutrogena BB Cream 
Revlon PhotoReady Foundation (Nat Beige)
Nichido Brow Pencil
SanSan Cream Eyeshadow Trio 01 
Urban Decay Naked2 (Tease, Busted)
Maybelline Eye Studio Gel Liner
Nichido Concealer Pencil (on waterline)
Fanny Serrano Eyelash Curler
Maybelline HyperCurl Mascara
MaxFactor Lipstick (will update you on the shade!)

I am a strong believer that the eyeliner can do wondrous things. Really, it makes such a HUGE difference! And because I wanted to look “awake” in this look, I used the oldest trick in the book: skintone colored eyeliner on the waterline and dark brown eyeshadow on the lower lashline. Although most would use white eyeliner, it would look too obvious in person. Best to leave that one for use during photoshoots.

Meet my date on VDay! Ahahaha..Domo-kun has been by my side every step of the way! While I was busy mentally preparing (aka sleeping) for the board, Domo-kun took my spot and memorized all these formulas for me. He’s the reason why I passed. Hahaha!

RANDOM! But that’s it. Just remember to keep your makeup clean and simple. Moisturize, highlight, and add subtle pops of color on the eyes and lips.

A BIG BIG THANKS to Jannie from Jannieology for making me part of this project. :) Great girl with a big heart. And to the girls who are in this with me, stay gorgeous yall!

cutest baby EVER! :) been asked to be a godparent for the first time…

DulceCandy87’s Contest Entry: Arbian Eyes

I just learned about this contest last weekend so it’s kinda late sending an entry (though deadline for submission of videos is on May 31,2012). But anyway, this is my entry to DulceCandy87’s 600,000 Subbies Contest! :D IKR? That’s a BIG number. Definitely something worth celebrating. Congratulations DulceCandy87!

The biggest challenge for me while making this look was making the cut crease. My crease is not as defined as hers and it took me a LONG time before finally getting both eyes even. :D

Here’s a closer look at my eye make-up:

This is a gorgeous look! It’s all about the eyes for this one! Thus, the huge false eyelashes and nude pink lip. :) I wasn’t able to show you on the video, but I already had foundation on, and did contouring and highlighting after the eye makeup.

You can view my contest entry for DulceCandy87’s Contest over at my Youtube Channel. :) The original makeup tutorial can be viewed here.

PRODUCTS USED

Ever Bilena Eyebrow Pencil
NYX Jumbo Eye Pencil (Milk)
Props, Tools & Cosmetics Mardi Gras Palette
Physician’s Formula Cream Eyeshadows (Purple from For Brown Eyes)
Ever Bilena Mousse Eyeshadow (Topaz)

NYX Lipliner (Rose)

I know there are a lot of entries and looking at the other videos, I have a teeny tiny chance of ever winning this contest. T.T But there’s no harm in trying and I had fun doing this look! This is probably the most creative eye makeup I have done so far. :)

Crossing my fingers on this one! <3

P.S. I changed my editing style this time. Captions and no fast forwards. I think I’ll be doing this more often now. I’ll be focusing on the eye makeup in the next video! *wink*
