Nordic/Winter Makeup #1

As you know, every one's crazy about Nordic, Military, Leopard, Good Girl this Fall and Winter. Then I did makeup that would be matching this season. This is the first one, which means I'll do more later.
Cold eyes suit Winter..
Since Khaki's been also in fashion, I'm wearing a khaki gillet.

♥Nordic♥
What is called "Snow girl" has been in trend in the world right now. Typical warm look cloth such as knit and fur is layered. Add unique accessories like trekking shoes and leg warmer to go mountain girl!
For town use, mannish items are useful. Black Taylor jacket, short pants, and knee/thigh high boots would be cool with Nordic items.
We need to be careful not to go dowdy/unsophisticated look from too much Nordic items.

As for this makeup, it's super easy! I was just arranging some colors and they were getting like Winter look :D Please read this through!







*As always, apply any eyeshadow base you have and take shimmery white by BYS on the pencil brush. You can substitute "Gesso" by MAC.
Apply into the crease til it gets white white..






*Take gray by REVLON on the same brush to apply on the both side of the lid. Keep the middle of your lid off any color for now. (Sorry, in this right pic it looks all silver on my lid )Substitute "Idol Eyes" by MAC.
 

*Go Metallics pallet by BYS for Blue. Substitute "Fresh Water" by MAC. Dab it on the middle of the lid until it gets colored well.

*Take ash dark blue by KATE and place it over the other blue. It strengthens blues so well!












*Apply the gray e/s by REVLON on the both side of lower lashline keeping the center off for blue.
*Fill in the waterline with black eyeliner you have and add mascara. Now you're done!

Thanks so much for reading til the end!

Rihanna in "Love The Way You Lie" inspired look

Once I saw the video-Eminem ft. Rihanna "Love The Way You Lie"- it caught my eyes and made me wanna do her look right away.

http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=uelHwf8o7_U
And as far as I see in the clip, she doesn't have color gradation on her lids and I thought super high level makeup technique which I really don't have yet may not be needed. I do wish I had even similar color eyeshadow that she's on..but I made it creating very close one though lightning can change its real look.

Main color is going to be dark purple with some gold bronze shimmer on the middle of the crease.
Every time I do makeup, I always end up wishing if I were a Caucasian girl so bad haha I've been always wondering why I'm not one since I was 13 or 14 lol

Anyhow this is what I've done! :D
This time I wrote substitution by MAC in case you don't have products I used.
If you're interested in how I did this, please keep reading it! Hope I don't bore you.
Let's go tutorial <3

*After applying any eyeshadow base you have, take dark gray brown by KATE on the flat brush. You can substitute "Club" by MAC if you have. Apply this all over your crease to shape oval. Due to lightning this looks like shiny black but it's grayish brown with shimmer.

*Go to metallic ash purple by BYS on the same brush. You can substitute "Seedy Pearl" by MAC. Put this on the same place where you applied 1st color dabbing it. This really makes the similar look that Rihanna has on the video!








If you want to make it more purple, add shiny violet by BYS. Or substitute "Shock-a-holic" by MAC. Please be careful as you place it because it's very pigmented, which changes the look from what Rihanna wears.

*Add lashes and fix the look by using black liquid e/l by FASIO. Like I said in last posts, make it as thin as possible.

*Take an angle brush with  black e/s by BYS (Any black e/s works). Apply to the outer corner of the lid and smudge the black line and blend it out.

*For lower lash lines, apply again the metallic ash purple underneath waterline. And around the outer corner, put the black one above on the end of purple.
*Pat gold bronze e/s by KATE on the center of the crease. Substitute "Gorgeous Gold" by MAC.


*Take light beige on the fluffy brush to apply on the brow bone and the inner corner as a highlight. Substitute "Vanilla" by MAC.
*Add black mascara and fill in waterlines with black e/l by FASIO.
You're done! It's easy, isn't it?

Thanks so much for reading this!

New Face#2 by KATE and L'OREAL

Since I've been kind of desperately doing things about my hobbies of makeup, I decided to shoot another post tonight. Right after I got them last week, thought I'd definitely show you guys ^ ^

1st one is by L'OREAL-Golden Tan Skintones.
These are obviously looking so useful! Each of these spreads out amazingly smoothly on your skin and colors up so nice. When I got this, there was a wonder in my mind if this can also be lost its perfection later on the end of the day. Some products really do lose its look because of skin oil, perspiration and so on. But I found out this doesn't at all after I tried this on today. Those colors don't change til the end at all. Nice!
I know I'd use them on many of my tutorials :)
2nd one is by KATE (the rest of  2 also by KATE).
This and other 2 are their new color collection these days. In the middle of first 2 ones (from right side) are mutt look (so are 2 other pallets) which helps create smoky eyes that doesn't need shiny perfection.
3rd one is mutt orange brown. It would be good to make elegant eyes with gold because these (especially the middle of 2 colors) are very fine shimmery brownish gold. I have a feeling these new collections' touch got even smoother than old ones. Old ones feel a bit rough though they're not bad at all.
4th one is more shiny/sparkling compared to 2 others. This is very pigmented, which I should be careful. When Asian people use blue eyeshadow TOO MUCH, the look is terrible lol It looks totally like swollen eyes after punching fight..just because face bone structure is way flatter than Caucasian people have. I don't think my face is too flat look but I'd use them as like an accent of the look or wear it simply casually..haha




Thank you for reading this :) Please follow my blog!

Military Eye'd Girl inspired by Fall/Winter fashion

Today I did this military colored eyes for this Fall and Winter. This season Military, Leopard, Tred, and Nordic are hot. So I used a couple of colors in order to match any style.

Due to lightning, this looks brownish eyes. See another picture down below, it looks more purplish around the outer crease.

This would definitely match military wear to start out from tomorrow. Please try this out and now check the tutorial :)












 
*Apply any eyeshadow base you have, and take pinkish gray from horizon e/s pallet by BYS on a fluffy brush. Put this all over the crease and blend it up very well up to (under) the brow bones.



*Take Root Beer e/s by NYX on a pencil brush and apply into the crease. This goes from the inner corner to the middle of the crease. Gently fades away at the middle point.

*My new pallet by L'OREAL Pris-Golden Tan Skin tones! Take the reddish brown on the same brush and apply from the outer corner of the crease to the middle. Blend it into the Root Beer naturally.


*Take a little bit of the darker color on the same brush and apply RIGHT above the lid to make it look deep and a bit dark on your crease. Make sure not to place this too much because it's well pigmented.
Also gently blend it up at the bottom of other 2 colors.
*Add lashes.

*Now we're go into this gel eyeliner which is dark brown by KATE. Apply it all over the lid and make an angle when you reach to the outer corner of the eye.

*Fix looks of lashes. Place black liquid eyeliner by FASIO from the inner corner of the eyes over fake lashes for natural look. Make it as thin line as possible. This black cannot be noticeable.
*Grab Shiny Olive pencil eyeliner by MAYBELLINE NY to apply to the inner corner.Just tap it on your skin until it colors well. You don't need to line or put it on longer.

*Take an angle brush with Teal e/s by REVLON to apply onto the middle of lower lash line.

*Go back to this reddish brown on the pencil brush and fill in the rest of lower lash line.

*Apply again this underneath water line and take the angle brush to smudge a bit.

*Take "Barely There" e/s by NYX on the fluffy brush to put on the brow bone and the inner corner as a highlight.
*Add mascara and you're done!
Thank you so much for spending your time to read this!

Can-Be-Boyish Look with Feminine Eyes

They've been saying in fashion that military wear is going to be HOT these days. Finding a girl in ELLE Girl magazinge, again, and I thought her look is hot though it still looks cute.

Oh, she has such a thick and noticeable lines/angles on her lid, though the makeup is for military wear. And this looks cool like a man!!
Of course, it made me wanna try this. What I did got a bit more femine though.
Since this is for military (guy) look, there's really no need to use any colorful eyeshadows, which means nude or orange (any skin tone) is preferred.
So I used only orange and nude colors for e/s that wouldn't take much time. And fake lashes not necessarily required.
This is the look. Wearing lashes might make or even change its look feminine, but unless you use volumy one any doesn't matter..
This tutorial can be a bit longer than usually I do because I took pix of my process besides cosmetics. If you wouldn't mind, please keep reading!




























*After applying e/s base (any kind you have works), take light gold by VUSEE on a fluffy brush all over your crease and add champagne by NYX on a pencil brush to place from the inner corner to the outcorner of your crease. Do not let it go into the lid.
*Take bronze gold e/s by Maquillage, Shiseido on the same brush and apply above the lid to make it look a bit dark. And go back to champagne by NYX on a fluffy brush to place under the brow bone.

*This goes like this. Under the brow bone, there's champagne and above the lid, bronze gold on. Put champagne under the lash line too. You can apply it up to 5mm from water line.
*Apply lashes.


*Grab Black eyebrow pencil by KATE to line on the lid for perfect angles.

*Fill in the line with black liquid e/l by FASIO.
 And take some of black e/s in horizon pallet by BYS on the pencil brush and pat it on the black.

*Also line under your lash line with black quild one and put this black e/s by BYS on the top of the black line for smudgy look.
*Add mascara. This time I used black color.






*Take orangish brown by KATE to apply above your lid.


*Apply White e/l by VIVO at the inner corner and blend it out.

*As a highlight, take some of pearl pink on your brow bone.

You're done!
