Shu Uemura and MAC makeovers.

Hey guys. im back. it's been a long time huh? *sigh* i kno. i'll try my best to recall my memories. haha. a lot of things going on. My essays, holiday back home, chinese exams, and my results. Surprisingly my results are all acceptable. hahaha. not too bad, not too good. i mean they're close to my expectation. haha. I wasn't all crazy abt my holiday in Jakarta tis time. I went back for only a week and it was a mess. My parents and friends were telling me that i had no time for em. gosh. i dunno what to answer. what do you guys expect for a week stay? I only managed to meet up with some of my best friends which i had been dying to meet :(

Anyways. that's the end of all disappointment. My lil sis Nike was coming with me to melbourne. OMG. that's joy in our house. she's funny and supercute. love her. and a week after, my bf came. What a dreamy holiday!

alright. before flying back home i went to Shu Uemura store and bought the classic cleansing oil. it is the most unique makeup remover i've ever seen. it's definitely oil which feels greasy when you apply it on, but it becomes soap when you rinse with water. that's a plus isnt it? My revlon makeup remover was too oily and strong to my eyes. tis one when it gets to the eye, simply wash it with water then it's gone. hahaha. a good cleanser, overly good price. AUD 102 i believe. shit. for a cleanser. But thanks to the cleanser i was able to get a makeover. My MUA wasnt Japanese but Australians. She had a funky blond hair which is cool. She looks like a runway model to me. At that time i was so into a bronzy type of look, so that when she asked me what kind of look i want i said bronzy. well, she's an expert. she has worked with photographers before, and it's no wonder that my face becomes a masterpiece she made me. oh i still remember how fresh my face was. sooo perfect! but Shu Uemura's eyeshadows are from heaven i suppose. priceless for my pocket. haha. so i thot i'd find dupes from mac. I only bought the eyebrow pencil in hard formula no 02 after the makeover. the pencil is uniquely sharpened which makes the brow application easier and more natural. the blushes aren't that amazing but looks okay (she used 3 shades!) hahaha. She gave me the full list of stuffs she used on me from the skincare, primer, eyeshadows, blushes, lips, etc. I was so pleased with Shu uemura afterwards. i might go back and buy the products. i fell in love with em. haha.


In Jakarta i bought Shu Uemura's eyelash curler and MAC fluidline in Blacktrack (finally). they're cheaper there. i can't buy more coz my money is so limited. I wanted makeupforever's primer but well, the price is 6 digits rupiahs and i dont hold credit cards. bad luck.


Back here in melbourne, i bought Benefit She Laq which is a makeup sealer to prevent eyeshadow, eyeliner and mascara from smudging. the product is ok. it works anyway. The day before yesterday i went to MAC pro stores in Chapel St and brought back MAC face and body foundation in shade C2. The product itself is a makeup artists bestseller foundation and used mostly for backstage makeup. Who needs more than that? hahaha. AUD 60 and the product is 3x more than the regular size. the finish is AMAZING, my new favourite beside Studio Sculpt. and you can use it on your legs too, esp if you got bruises and scars. that will make your skin glows and looks healthy (like your second skin).












Today, ehm. I had a makeover with MAC. the MUA is called Serena i believe, and she had worked in MAC pro store for 5 years (WOW). and i was too excited to ask her many things. ahaha. well, she did my eye makeup in a different way. When i did my makeup in Shu uemura, i was wearing the eyetape while today im not. i thot i'd want lo learn how to do the eyeshadow for eyes with no crease like me and my sisters. Well it's a bit unique. i never did my makeup this way. This is a tip from her.

All over the lid: Dark shimmery colors (eg. buckwheat), tap it with 232, blend it up with 217 till the color washed away.

Above the crease: Warm shimmery colors (eg. pollinator), with 217.

Browbone: matte, neutral colors (eg. Brule).

Eyeliner (upper lashline): with 266 (angled liner brush) fluidline blacktrack
(bottom lashline): with 266, use the same dark eyeshadow you use for the upper lid.
*for the eyeliner, she suggested me not to draw a wing out (like a cat eye) and not to draw on the waterline because both will close the eyes a little bit.

Face: she uses foundation brush (flat one like 190) first then swirl it with 187 (stippling brush). she adores face and body as well but in the city you cant get one, so she used mineralize satinfinish which has the similar finish to it. As a setting powder she used Studio Fix powder in C3.

Cheek: As I requested, she used Soft and Gentle mineralize skinfinish as a highlighter and 1 plummy-brownish shimmery pink mineralize blush (forgot the name). Again, the cheek work isnt that awesome.

And at the end of the session (supposedly 45mins but thanks to my enthusiasm it is 1hour) i purchased A LOT: soft and gentle, 266 angled brush, and three eyeshadows: mulch (dark bronze), woodwinked (pale, goldy brown), and sketch (dark plummy purple). They're all recommended by Elle in Youtube and MAC MUA said that they're very nice combined altogether=)
After makeover.
P.S:2 brushes on the left (Angled foundation brush and big powder brush) are from Myer Artiste manicare Professional. As good quality makeup brushes they're quite inexpensive. Now im no longer using my fingers to apply concealers. they are unhygienic and too messy for spots and scars concealing. im using small concealer brush from Artiste and it is more controlled.

MAY's fave.

OK. it's been nearly a month.

and i still cant manage my splurge with cosmetics. they're killing my conscience! I WANTED TO BELIEVE THAT MY COLLECTION IS ALREADY TOO MUCH BUT...

all my condemnation is for you tube.

yeah it sucks. i have been sucked in by people's reviews, tutorials, hyping about cosmetics. AHAHAHAH. im too concentrated with my make up study that my actual one is truly unforgivably. terribly. hell. I got straight Ps. which put a lot of emphasis of my lack of formal english expressions. I really2 hate it. I wanted to embrace my limitations but well. im way too over-confident i guess. ahaha. supposedly im doing a degree in make up artistry not MELBOURNE UNI's communication degree. now my eyes are like popped to the max realising that im now inside the second best uni in Australia, putting my damaged second language in contest with locals, and marked by professionals. no way im stressed now.

ok back to my point.
IM IN LOVE WITH MAC BRUSHES. i never believed that i'd buy such things. too lux. too exp. looks rubbish rite. but in fact i bought the 187 (dual fibre) yesterday. for $85. that's ridiculous. though ppl said that this stuff is amazing. multipurpose (blush, powder, liquid foundation) but for indonesians this is OMG. i know. i wont buy any brushes from mac anymore. ARRHHGGg.
anyway. LOVING THIS. this is worth buying. i don't know why but i think for brushes there's no need to buy expensive ones while they are not specific or unique enough. Like for blush, you may not necessarily need the heavenly pricey MAC one. can get cheaper from body shop. but 187 is well known for its EXELLENT JOB at applying liquid foundations, leaving the air-brushed look on your face. I know we all can use fingers or sponges but i asked MAC make up artist and he said that both tools will genetically (normally-_-") produce a heavier look on your face as they pick up more products. OF COURSE I DON'T WANT A CAKEY FACE. i want it to look more natural. so i buy it. AHAHAHA. I ADORE THIS BRUSH. maybe it'll soon be one of my products that i cant live without. haha. im still practicing the swirling motions man. not used to. haha. but tried it today with MAC studio fix fluid NC25 and it looked gorgeous. ahahah. i don't feel heavy.


i happened to get the 239 brush as well coz i exchanged my SUCKING deep dark MSF. FINALLY get rid of this stuff. AHAHAHAH. thanks to David Jones staffs. you're amazing guys! LUUUUFFFF. 239 is like the only must have for me because i have small eyes. Don't need specific brush. I don't even need to apply more than 2 shades on my eyes. 239 simply does everything for your eye makeup. it picks up just a right amount of color.


second favourite: MAC liquid foundations.
i blame my stupidity for asking 3 free samples from David Jones last month: MAC Mineralize Satinfinish, MAC Studio Fix Fluid, and the latest one- MAC Studio Sculpt. They are all in NC 30.

Yesterday i asked MYER to give me those as well! AHAHAHAHAHa but not mineralize satinfinish coz i know i liked it just as i like my benefit tinted moisturiser. surprisingly, MYER MAC lady gave me in NC 25! omg. i was actually not sure enough why the lady (Rosa) in David Jones gave me NC 30. I think NC 30 is a bit darker than my skin. I look tan. ahahah. not bad actually. i don't know. I think the difference between those two is quite huge. but i think NC 25 is good on me as well. I got a sample on MAC prep and prime skin base too. AHAHAHA haven't tried it yet.


im not so sure about how they differ from the texture, the finish, the consistency etc. I heard hypes about the Studio Sculpt (how it's voted as no.1 choice of runway make up artists) so AGAIN. i watched reviews. and now in love with all of them. Can't decide 1. by no means the comments are all positive. Many said that Studio Fix broke them out and cakey, Studio sculpt not suitable with oily skin, they become orangey throughout the day, and etc.

I tried the mineralize satinfinish and i LOVE it. OMG i know the coverage is low-cant cover my spots and scars. But that's exactly what I need for everyday look! it's sheer and has some glitters in it. It makes my skin glows and shines just like, a healthy skin! it doesnot look like make up. more like tinted moisturiser. love this.

Till yesterday i NEVER EVER tried MAC Studio Fix fluid because of the continuing critiques abt it. now im wearing it. AHAHAH. i don't know- i like this in spite of all the negative comments. maybe im not wearing it enough till it starts to break me out. AHAHAH. My skin looks matte because Studio Fix absorbs oil. I think this one is best to wear in parties and humid weather. long lasting. will not wear off like my inherited Shiseido Dual Balancing Foundation which is supposedly designed for combination skin. WTH i used this to go to Trinity Ball last year and in my photos i look like clowns with red shiny nose. oohhh never ever purchase tis one.


STUDIO SCULPT. my FAVEEEEEESSSS. loveee thisssss....
i dont know. this looks like a mix between those two above. it provides good coverage. i mean it's real foundation. conceals my imperfections but yet not matte or powdery look like studio fix. it's really moisturising that my skin looks glowy as well. satiny finish. ooooh niceeee. love thissss. might purchase this one soon. hahah.
i really need second opinion on which colour should i purchase. NC 30 or NC 25. both looks OK. i think NC 30 is for summer coz it's a bit tan on me and NC 25 for winter. no matter what i need to get studio sculpt. see later if the studio fix breaks me out badly i will not purchase that one. hohoho. TTYL!

The rebirth of my lashes.

HAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHA. i won't do the same stupid thing which caused my lashes fall out. NO WAY. EVER. hahahaha. MY LASHES HAVE GROWN PRETTILY AS USUAL!! HOHO.
i've never had lots of lashes genetically. but it's okay. im happy. hahaha. i can replace them with my fake lashes. :)

i watched youtube. I've been always wondering why most make-up gurus carry big fat orange mascara thing. i didn't know till one of them mentioned.
It is a COVERGIRL LASH BLAST mascara. They said it's like the best and cheap. well it IS cheap. today bought it from BIG W and it's only 18$ which is not like shu uemuras. 40$ something. OMG.
It's not in a lot of stock. only 3 there, which 2 of them were black brown. I want a true black.
anyway it's a volumising mascara. it's clumping but shu uemura's also clumping. i think the clumps do make the lashes thicker. i don't mind. But this must be combined with my loreal false lash effect which is more like lengthening. I swear i look best if i wear both. I cant wear lash blast coz the wand is so thick it wouldnt get into my deepest roots. I can wear loreal alone but i will look rather unnatural with each of my lash standing so straight separatedly. Lash blast do finalise everything!

and here is me! ohohoho im soo happy. but i don't dare curl them guys. so scared that i might lose them againnn. tis one i just using my lashblast alone. not looking very long.

Hey guys! long time no see! Fiuuhh~ just finished my 2000 words Japanese essay. Now Im really feeling the urge to sue Melbourne Uni. It's so frustrating. Why in the time like this when all students are relaxing, enjoying their easter break, we all must bear the satanized ESSAYS! im dying! :(

Anyway. i decided to take my time tooooo. hoho. to MAC STOREEEEEEEEE~ yippie! hahahaha.
im broke now :(

Yeah. MAC is really really brutal to my purse. after Hello Kitty collection now it's launching the latest, supercute SUGARSWEET COLLECTION! OMG. im sure my money needs a break too.

OK. this one is not my collection ok. this is someone's. LOOK HOW PRETTY THE COLORS ARE! all about cupcakes, candy, and marshmallows. OMG. sooo prettyyyyyy. im really really impressed with the mineralize skinfinish which is the compact right there, and the lipsticksss!!!

The tricolour lipglasses are FABULOUS though the payoffs are so sheer. The price is more expensive than the regular line though. but it's still prettyyyyyyyyyy................... huhuhuhu loving the first from the right one! Consume me.

Im planning to get the MSF perfect topping coz the colors are just so gorgeous. the payoff is so great for cheeks and highlighting. the final color blends looks like champagne, whitish beige color. so pretty!!! Refined looks amazing too, only it's darker and bronzer. It's so good to create a healthy glow all over your face. i swear it's damn pretty. People said the MSFs are the most satisfying for the Sugarsweet collection.

Im actually craving for the pastel pink Saint Germain lipstick, in which i'd snatch it up if only it isn't sold out yet! :( However i got the lollipop loving which is the orange one. it's a glaze, and it's so pretty. i've never seen such a color could conceal my lips discoloration. so great. it's quite sheer though, so the payoff isn't bright orange. it's soft peach.


Look at their prettiness!!!! omg. The nail lacquers are as great. they are all pastel, which I LOVE. But i don't think i'd buy nail lacquers from MAC. they're bloody expensive!

OK. moving on to my alter-ego.
Last (Monday i think) i went to Westfield, Doncaster with Shinta, Sari, and Gabby. FYI doncaster is super far. We had to catch a bus, and get off at the very last stop. can you imagine how far it is? haha.
I NEVER EVER REGRET GOING THERE. it's my heaven. i found my heaven.....meet my angels there...MYER! HAHA. i visited the MAC store straightaway, and found my cute kitties on display. and guess what. MANY OF THEM WERE STILL THERE!!! THEY'RE NOT SOLD OUT!!!!!!!! OH NO. luckily i still had my money back there. quickly i took 3 items that i've been DYING to get. pinkfish tinted lip conditioner, she loves candy lipglass, and fun and games blush. I actually wanted to get Big bow as well, but my lips are so pigmented already that i don't think i'd make them look more swollen.lol

And here are my MAC Hello Kitty goodies once agaiiiiiin~ Oh so pretty....
I got the sample of SUPER TINY little Popster lip conditioner. Why MAC persons have to be so ungenerously stingy! huh. anyway secretly i 'took' more popster the next day :)

And here's my entire MAC HELLO KITTY COLLECTION!!!!! kyaaaaa~(the brushes excluded)
Enough. Here comes my complaints to MAC.
I trust her after all this time. I always went to her when i need something. OH WHY? She disappoints me! I bought one MSF natural from MAC in Deep Dark, which i plan to use it to contour my cheekbones, and it ended so terrible. it IS a disaster. She and I thought that one could produce more natural looking finish and yes she said that lots of ppl have used it for contouring. I didn't know that we can actually choose normal bronzer for contouring. i took her suggestion.! she should give me MAC blushes not MSF! it is WAY TOO ORANGE for me. omg. i look like wearing a fake tan lotion. so orange. it's not dark it's orange! I was watching videos and tutorials abt contouring and the gurus looked amazing with dark shade contour. I even went to NARS and the woman said that the contour is too orange. Instead NARS bronzer is perfect and popular. i think the name is Lagoona bronzer. it costs $70 which is kinda abnormal. LOL. I BLAME MAC. for my lashes for my cheeks and for my money!

But still i love MAC. hahahaha. Now i realise that before going to the MAC counter i'd have to watch youtube recommendations first. They help a lot!

I bought 2 things which a lot of people said are must haves for MAC.

Ignore the MSF compact. it sucks.
1. MAC studio finish concealer with SPF 30+. I tell you. THIS STUFF IS AMAZING for undereye and blemishes. It is different from other concealers including shu uemura's. The coverage is perfect. This is the most popular concealer so far as i've seen. It comes in different shades in which you'll definitely find the true match for your skintone, which makes MAC a pro :) loving this. Other brands' concealers comes only in three shades: light, medium, and dark which makes it slightly different from your skintone and therefore the makes your imperfection even worse.
2. MAC lip conditioner stick with SPF 15. This is definitely a must have for those who have chapped, dry lips. It moisturises your lips instantly after application. when i mean moisturising it means moisturising from the inside, not only make your lips look smooth and slick. By all means, you can apply concealer straight after this. Concealer dries our lips surface therefore this is a great stuff to use as a primer.

OK. i've never talked about what's inside my makeup bag. This is not permanent since im still a newly addict of make up :) oh ya i just bought this lavender juicy couture makeup bag yesterday and LOVIN IT! sooo pretty! hahaha. it's only $19. fake one of course. If i was a rich girl. nanananannananananaaaa~~~ What i carry usually: Hello kitty sheer mystery powder for touch ups, one lipstick (currently lollipop loving), one lipglass (currently she loves candy), pink fish tinted lip conditioner, my eyetapes (coz they come off easily!), a tissue (to wipe off any mistakes, stain, and smudges), a concealer to redo covering the undereyes and blemishes if they wear off throughout the day, and a brown eyeliner. I find that pencil eyeliner doesn't do well on me as it is very prone to smudge on my bottom lids, even the waterproof one. Therefore i find it necessary to carry just one brown in case my eyeliner smudges really badly that it needs a redo. Heard many people said that MAC eyeliners are the best. well i bought one MAC technakohl and it still smudges although it's the most perfect eyeliner i've bought so far..ARRGH. hate it. Im going to get the MAC liquidlast in coco bar (the brown one) for sure next time. If my sis allows me to. HAHAHA. no budget guys~
MAC liquidlast liners are so purrrfect. Im not buying the black one because i mainly use it for my bottomline and black will be too bold and heavy.

OMG i've written a LOT. haha. it's a sign that i've been so sinful throughout the week. lol
thanks for reading my blog :)

Going back to master my MAC study,
Natasya.

big 'spender' MAC.

Hi guys~

geezz.
I spent money again. Im sure many of you would say they aren't really worth it. hahahah.

MAC Hello Kitty Kouture has come out! and i bought 'it' on the first day. (Im not saying 'them' ok!).
LOOK AT THIS. AREN'T THEY SO PRETTY????????I BOUGHT THE COMPACT POWDER!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! There are Swarovski Crystals embedded on it. SO PRETTY! OMG can't resist buying it. i didn't EVEN TRY to snatch the lipglasses. My mom will be furious. They are EXPENSIVE to the max. I AM REALLY REALLY BROKE. for a pressed powder's sake. JESUS. But the compact can be used forever! it's a gorgeous asset! The lipglasses are cute, accompanied with Swarovski charms. They comes in 2 colors fuchsia and pale pink. I wanna grab the pale pink but never see it in store. HUH. And FYI, the mystery sheer powder stock finishes in 2 days. wow. Australians must be really rich.

Anyway im saving on money now. I buy 2 dollared foods to satisfy my hunger or eat at home instead. heh. this is my beauty sacrifice.

and today i snatched up 2 more things. Strayin' lipstick from MAC Hello Kitty (last one in Victoria!) and MAC paint peintures for eye base in Bare Canvas. THEY ARE AMAZING. i tell you. Strayin' has the signature color of Hello Kitty itself. PINK. very cute pink! I'd been trying on the tester and i'd never thought that it's good on my lips (It is BOLD color) and i initially think that i look like auntie. Even by the time i bought this stuff i still look creepy. But i can't take my eyes off that thing everytime i saw MAC Hello Kitty. So i decided to buy it and play some tricks. I believe that Asians do look good on bold colors!

The problem is that my lips are dark so when i applied strayin' it'll look like dark fuchsia instead of playful pink. So how people on the websites managed to get super cute look with it? They look like barbie, I look like auntie. GRR.

Finally I watched videos from youtube that suggests applying concealer on lips. OMG. this is really working on me! Concealer covers the dark lines so that any lipsticks applied will be much much lighter. OMG. i look like barbie with bubblegum pink lips! *wink* hahahaha.
This picture was captured by my phone camera so the colors are not the actual colors seen on bare eyes. HOHO.

Btw. Forget to tell u guys that i've quit using eyetapes and fake lashes. yeah im afraid that they will make my eyes dirty and another precious lashes fall out again. good reason what? :)
But as you can see im still glamorously glowing as a uniquely asian. (or singaporean?) HAHA *proud*. I enhance my eyes with eyeshadows instead.

MAC paint peintures. firstly i didn't consider buying any eyebase or primer under my eye makeup but i realised that without it the colors aren't really showing, sometimes they smudge..and most of all, every beauty junkie must have one. (spotted on youtube and beauty websites). haha.

I tried that on. AND it's fab. it brightens my upper eye area INSTANTLY, creating natural highlights if you wear it alone. With eyeshadows on the top of it, you will get gorgeous, bold colors as seen in ads. This works similarly as concealer i used on lips. I heard that with MAC paint you can sleep with your makeup on, and when you wake up the it would stay still. hahaha. :)

The problem with MAC paint is that the packaging comes in a tube, so when i squeeze it it won't stop oozing out. It's totally a messy waste coz it dries quickly. can't save it.GRR. Im also loving MAC paint pot, which comes in many shimmery colors. can be used as a base too.! they're really popular actually.(according to youtube). But as a starter i prefer something matte like this Bare Canvas. It's really basic girls you've got to own it. It can be used as concealer under your eyes too!

That's my guilty obsession of MAC recently. I'm sure nobody will understand my spending on those items but if you watch on youtube you'd be surprised of how ppl manage to buy almost all of the collection. hahaha. It's limited edition and it won't come out again!

A steeper path to bimbostic world,
Natasya.

Another MAC Hello Kitty experiment!


HIYAA~

i managed to try romping eyeshadow, that is, the fuchsia shade in too dolly palette! I tried what the MAC crews did actually. And i added my new false eyelashes. They're gorgeous i swear! My friends all said they look really natural and gorgeous. That's why maybe u can't really see the difference with normal lashes. They're building lustrous eyelashes instantly, without damaging your eyelashes! And they're cheap too! (it depends where u buy them. if u buy Shu uemura's they're bloody expensive $42). I bought them in Faceshop for $5! Korean stores are beauty experts!

OK. for both one-third corners of the eye im using romping eyeshadow first, and in the middle of the eye apply yoghurt. For better result use it as a highlight as well.



OH well. I've never believed that wearing too much eyeshadow is better. But to tell you the truth a dramatic look on the top will never be complete without making a line on the bottom as well. It can be the same colour, or u can play with it a bit with another bright colour. Because it's only one single line it won't show much. MAC crews used too dolly eyeshadow under the eyes. I did that as well, combining it with romping on my outer half.


















SEXY CAN I! haahaha.

Too dolly!

Hey guys~

I AM TERRIBLY INFURIATED by melb uni system. They change my timetable arbitrarily without my acknowledgement And both of my related tutors accuse me for changing the time myself. shit. Because of that matter i have to endure a super CONSIDERABLY late lecture at 4pm instead of 10am.

GOOD. i need a release for that.

TIME FOR MAKE UP SESSION~!!!!!

Well i am feeling beautiful today so i bother doing the experiments. hahah.
I've been wondering how to use Too Dolly quad. The colours are incredibly showing off and bright. But can't help, I love them. They are just too gorgeously kitty and barbie. Especially too dolly colour. Im in love with that.

And these are all you need.Too Dolly quad, black eyeliner, white eyeliner, blusher, eyeshadow blender, Tippy blush on from MAC, black eyeshadow, white shimmery eyeshadow, and Fashion Mews glaze lipstick from MAC. Too simple!! hahaha.

Im not applying foundation for my everyday look okay. it'll clog your pores. but apply some if you want. Im just using light tinted moisturiser from Benefit and tap a bit of beige powder at the top of it.

OK. Step 1. If you guys have eyebags or dark circles under your eyes, apply concealer or eye brightener to cover them. You don't want your eyebags puffing like you've never slept for years. hahaha. Choose the correct one close to your skintone. Concealer is very basic need girls. You cant just ignore buying them. You can simply wearing it alone without any makeup and you still look fresh. just under the eye. and some to cover your pimples as well.

Step 2. for me it's applying the tinted moisturiser. You can replace it by wearing foundation or powder instead.

Step 3. apply eyeliners. apply black on the outer half under your eyes, and white for the other inner half. They produce bigger eyes. See the line under my eyes. should look like that.

Step 4. Using ur finger or small eyeshadow applicator u have, take a bit of Too dolly pallete (the blue one) and apply that to your whole eyelids. Only eyelids girls coz the colour's too bright. If you have small eyelids then you can blend it more upward.

Step 5. White eyeshadow. Apply that to the rest of ur whole upper eye area as a highlight(including the inner corner of your eyes), till you meet your eyebrows. The enhancement gives the sense of higher brow, clean, but still dramatic look.

Step 6. Black eyeshadow. Tap A BIT of it with the eyeshadow blender, and GENTLY tap it at the end of your eyelids. Don't apply too much otherwise you'll look scary and fierce and this is not smokey eye. Can blend a bit upward, outside the crease but remember, you only need a very small area for it ok.

They should look like this. Sorry if the colours do not look mixed properly. i tried to take the pic in the dark to help u see better.Step 7. The blush. Again, Tippy is quite bright, strong pink colour so don't tap too much on it. Use the blusher to blend it to your cheekbones. There are some rules to create shades for a skinnier look. I'll show you next time. For this time just blend it evenly.

Step 8. Apply the lipstick. hahaha.


See the dark and light shades on my cheek (above). If you apply it correctly, a blush on won't look clowny. They work best for chubby cheeks, as you can hardly define any bones there. hahaha :)




















The reason why the colours don't look intense on me is because i don't have eyelids. Therefore im wearing eye tapes to make one. hahahahah.

P.S: I don't wear this kind of make up to school ok! don't tell me that i'm a bimbo. lol .
Oh well, if you don't have any problems with your lashes don't forget to put on your mascara! :)

Loving her look without eyelashes,
Natasya.

May June for Indo? GIRLS BE PREPARED!!!

Dearest of the dearest-est.

BOUGHT MORE MORE MORE MORE. SHIT. I've spent more than $300 for this SUPER CUTE MAC HELLO KITTY. BOUGHT 3 more. 1 tippy blush on, 2 eyeshadow palletes: Too Dolly and Lucky Tom.

THEY ARE THE BESTEST PART. LEMME TELL YOU.

Each pallete has 4 shades. why did i end buying 2? the answer is because THEY ARE SPLENDORS. I realised that they are just a must buy. too high end. too kitty. Oh-my-God. Hard to choose one.

Too Dolly is people's favourite. Because the colors are dramatic and bold, no wonder it is categorized as hello kitty WILD. Consists of Yogurt (frosty pale pink), Romping (deep fuschia), Too Dolly(aqua blueish green) and Stately Black (glittery black). These shades match best with my tippy(pink)blush on. I'd probably wear them at parties. Those MAC crews are combining the fuschia with yogurt. They look fab. Or maybe coz whites are beautiful. (HAHA). I look cheap in fuschia, but i'd try another way to look good in that. next time.












Lucky tom
is typically classic, peachy, soft, and girlie. Asians with yellow skin tone look best in this, including me. Creme Royal(my fave! soft gold), Paradisco(peachy orange), Stylin'(blueish purple) and Lucky Tom(dark brown). If only my eyelashes grow faster i'd wear them everyday. They are really really statement. Combine Creme royal with Paradisco. They work for me.











HOWEVER. i need my Fun & Games(peach) beauty powder blush to go with lucky tom. It's in the picture guys. Sold out everywhere. SOLD OUTTTTTTTTTTTTTTT. Im crazy. Im sentimental. IM MAD. on thurs it were there at David Jones. I had no money. GOOD. the next day the pink blush on was standing alone. so i get that instead.
Don't get me wrong i also liked the pink colour. The MACperson said it'll suit me better than the peach one. BUT STILL. I need peach blush on. It's really natural. It's sweet! huhuhuhuhuhuuuuuuuu.

And these are how they look IN TOTAL. Those two palletes, powder blush, lipstick, and lipglass. (am i crazy? LOL) My friends' eyes popped as they see my MAC bag. Oh, and those 2 round shimmers are free samples. (see how those stingy crews softens as i bought so many of their products). They are also kitty's. Apply them after layers of eyeshadows to look glam.
























And this is how my bathroom looks now. My everyday make up collection is the one which is out. ONLY. There are still bunches inside the tin and my vintage bag. hahahahahah. (proud.)
