Halloween Makeup #1 Atlantic Goddess-extension of usual makeup

Since one of my good friends asked me what I'd wear and do for Halloween, I started thinking of what kind of makeup (lol) would be good for this season. Actually, in Japan, we don't have Halloween custom at all. But maybe for business, there are so many party stuff for it at any store here. like tons of sweets, accessories, Halloween limited menu at restaurants, and so on. I think you can imagine that. it's totally like Christmas. Then today I decided to do makeup of Atlantic Goddess looks like an extension of a bit loud makeup like I do on my day off.


Today I mainly used Bourjois' eyeshadow which I got last Saturday. I really wanted to use one of them A LOT to see how they come out on my  day off and the time finally came haha. Unfortunately it's hard to use pretty pigmented shadows during weekdays for work because it doesn't suit office wear, which means I have to use like nude, brown, or orange base makeup everyday. This time I was doing this thinking of an impression of Ocean Goddess. it's just my image in my head so I didn't even look it up on the Internet or anywhere for this makeup.  If you wanna know how I did this, please keep reading it through!

*As always, after applying eyeshadow base you have, take Bourjois e/s #29 on the pencil brush. if you don't have this, substitute Juxt color by MAC. Put this from the inner corner to the middle of the crease blending it up.

*To make blue, take silver dark blue by KATE on the same brush and apply around the outer corner of the crease. Bring it up to the middle of the crease and blend "Juxt" color and this blue well. Substitute Tilt (Violet w/blue-green pearl (Frost)) by MAC.

*Now take Bourjois #09 on the pencil brush and put it all over the dark blue. Substitute Atlantic Blue by MAC. This is as not much pigmented as it seems, so keep applying it till well colored.




*Use the pencil or an angle brush, pull the blue all out to shape the wing. Color this part as exactly the same as on the crease.

*Take any light color matt e/s on the first finger to apply all over the lid. This helps you put next e/s to stay on.


*Grab Bourjois' #21, exactly the same as Plum Dressing by MAC, on the angle brush to put all over the lid.




*And then, like you brought blue shadows out for wing, make the purple out on the same line where your eye is. (Does this make sense? xD) Just bring it out.

*For more purple, go into Party Til Sunrise e/s pallet by BYS to take shiny grape color on the angle brush. Now it gets noticeable beautiful violet!


*Color underneath lower lashline with these purples and add #09 blue by Bourjois under the purple.

*Go into Metallics e/s pallet by BYS to take metallic light silver on the wide fluffy brush. Apply this on the browbone and into the inner corner as a hightlight.

*Use shiny blue eyeliner by KATE, substitute Ocean or Electric Blue liquid eyeliner by NYX, to fill in the water line. And add mascara without curler. You're done!
Complete look :)











Last Saturday, by the way, I went to a Bourjois shop in a department store near my house. The girl staff of Broujois and I talked so much and I told her I've been doing this makeup stuff on Youtube and here. and omg she gave me a pouch that is given only for people buy its mascara!





This looks so pretty, doesn' this?? I felt so special. And after I got this, she said she wants to know the link of my YB and here. I'm hoping she's still checking my work sometime.










Thanks so much for reading! Hope you're having a great weekend :))

Elegant Mink Brown Eyes for Work

Hello! Thank you so much for following my blog and leaving me comments :)) Your support really keeps me motivated here. Since I started working, it's got hard to update my blog..but I declare that I would definitely entry new post every weekend (Friday or Saturday): at least 1 or 2 posts. So please check here once a week for updates! I'd really appreciate that :D
Today I did a makeup that I wore yesterday for work. People around me gave me many compliments about this which looks attractive and makes them wanna talk to you.. :) this is the look.

In an official/formal scene like when you're at work, ceremony, and meeting, being without fake lashes should be good looking for people around you. So I don't (cannot) wear lashes during weekdays unfortunately ('cause nobody in my office wears them just because it looks too fancy or casual with suits/formal wear.). Then, I didn't use lashes this time too, though it's my day off :D
(This actually looks a bit more dark brown exactly like the 1st picture on the top of here.)

If you're interested how I did this, please keep reading through! :D
It's easy!

Since I want to make it matt look this time, we're gonna use two tones mixed from the right side of PALGANTONG eyecolor pallet. Take some of it on your first finger and apply all over the lid.
  

*On the pencil brush, take camel by KATE to apply into the crease. From the inner corner to the middle of your crease until well colored. Substitute "Goldmine" or "Gorgeous Gold" by MAC.






*Go to Deep Bronze by NYX on the same brush and apply around the outer corner of the crease  twirling the brush round. Blend it out well. Substitute Woodwinked by MAC. 




*On the angle brush, take dark brown by KATE all over the lid. Substitute Bronze in BESTSELLERS by MAC.





*Grab Pearl brown eyeliner by VIVO and line on the end of the lid. Shape a triangle like the picture. And then smudge out with the angle brush. Now your eyes look even deeper.


* Now take Mink Brown by NYX on the wide fluffy brush and apply this under the browbone as a highlight.
This really matches this dark brown look. Substitute Chamomile by MAC.




*Almost donnnne :D Take dark brown gel eyeliner by KATE on a small liquid liner brush and fill in the water line.




*Add mascara and you're done!
(If you have some more time, keep reading this a bit bit more :))
By the way, I started using this lipstick last two days. It's BABY LIPS by MAYBELLINE NY. This makes your lips prrreeetty soft look and has SPF 20. Since I actually don't like using lip gloss even if I'm at work because I'm too lazy to remakeup every time it gets off, lipsticks with UV protection is my favorite items.
Finding this at a drugstore near my house, I thought I'd try it out!. This is pretty good. It DOES moiturize my lips with creamy pink coating. I like it! 




Thanks so mcuh for reading til here!

Orange Eyes in Black Inspired by Ashley Greene

In the November issue of Japan GOSSIPS, I found Ashley Greene who I never knew until today! Since I've never watched Twilight at all yet, I didn't know her. Looking at her picture, I thought oh she looks cool! and I want to do her makeup. Plus it looked easy to do :)
So this is what I've done down here
Using and mixing 3 different colors of Orange and surrounding eyes with black line. Though I used pearl white all over my lids, those black lines keep eyes looking sharp and aggressive. When you use lighter colors on your lids than others on your crease, you want to use the strongest color around your eyes not to make them look vague or obscure.
Okay! then please read this til the end!
*As always, apply any eyeshadow base you have all over the lid, and take Champagne e/s by NYX on the pencil brush. Put this on the inner corner of crease and bring it to the middle of it. Keep pressing the brush until well colored.
*Now take warm shiny orange by KATE on the same brush and apply into the crease (If you don't have it, add more Champagne). Create the wing,angle shape like the picture down below.

*To make it thicker, vivid orange around the outer corner of the crease, we're going to add this orangish brown by KATE and trace the angle on the crease with this. Substitute Neon Orange (Matte) by MAC.
And (this looks way lighter than actual color due to lightning) also place it above the lid for darker look.



*Add lashes. Make sure not to leave any space between your eyelash and fake one by using tweezers :)
*Take "my color pencil" by KATE, fill in the lid and also underneath lower lash line. Substitute Amuse Eyeshadow Pencil-White- by NYX
up to the middle part.

*Line above the lashes with black liquid eyeliner by FASIO. Any black e/l is ok, but I'd recommend you to use liquid one to let it come out well over the white color on the lid. And then fill in the water line too. You don't need to make it thick line at all :)
*Go into sheer black e/s by BYS on the angle brush to apply underneath lash line. Just to make it smudgy. Move the angle brush from the outer corner of your eye down to the middle.

*Go BACK to the orangish brown e/s by KATE on the angle brush, and put this under eyedrows to intensify orange. Cut the crease..
*Blend it out well with a clean pencil brush.
*Fix the harsh line with wide fluffy brush.
*Take cream color e/s by REVLON on the fluffy brush to apply onto the brow bone and the inner corner. Substitute White Frost by MAC.


Add mascara and you're done!
Isn't it easy? :D
I hope you like this and thank you so much for reading up here!
Please follow my blog and I'd follow you back.
