Heyyy guysss…
Like I said before, one more make
up challenge to join :p, it’s IBB’s February 2013 Make Up Challenge : No Pink
Valentine.
I know Valentine has passed, but I
personally feel like Valentine’s effects can be felt all through February hehe,
and as you already know my actual Valentine’s actually went quite… Pink-ey :p
(read here *link*) and the entry for the look is coming up next, for this
challenge especially I created another look that is partly inspired by my real
accidental Valentine look with tweaks here and there obvi. So here it is, my No
Pink Valentine Look :
No Pink product used at all but i cannot do anything about my pink camera :p |
My niece took such a close picture of my face you can see broken capillaries on my cheek =X |
I think I’m gonna call the look “Romantic
Victorian Valentine” LOL. I was extremely inspired by the romantic Victorian feel.
To be honest I chose the outfit for this look first (as usual, always going all
out with the whole outfit to complete the look) and work on my face
accordingly, I think it always helps if you already have a look in mind to be
the centre of your whole creation. So I knew right from the start that I wanted
to work with soft baby blue colors and the likes.
I must stress *again* that I join
this challenge for fun, and it’s probably going to be a regular thing, if they
keep on having this challenge I probably going to continue joining even though I
most probably will never ever win *LOL* but that really doesn’t matter for me,
winning’s not the goal for me *extremely non-competitive person* I just really
enjoy doing it :p. And I am also very pleased to be getting so much positive
feedbacks (both from my real life friends and from complete strangers who are
kind enough to read this blog) on my tutorials, they mostly said that my
tutorial’s very simple and easy to follow. But that’s probably because I am not
capable of doing a complicated look anyway, LOLOL.
Okay okay enough ramblings, here’s
the step by step tutorial on how to achieve this look.
Step one : Face.
Face : TSF Lemon
Foundation+Clinique concealer (for under eyes)+DHC concealer (for any redness
and imperfection)+Pigeon pressed powder (to set under eye concealer)+Clinique
two way cake (to set the foundation).
Face after foundie+concealer+powder |
Step
two : (the complicated part) Eyes.
Pink Kiss eye shadow duo+Australis
crème eye shadow palette+Maybelline eye shadow trio+Dior Liquid Eyeliner
(black)+Maybelline Volum’ Express and Hyper Curls Volum Express
Mascara+unbranded black eye liner pencil in Black+eye lash curler (there’s no
rules against using pink tools right??? LOL)
I used my Australis crème eye
shadow in bright pearly blue (lower row, far left in the palette) all over my
eyelid (about 7/8 part of your entire eye area), leave your brow bone area bare.
Gorgeous color, too bad crème eye
shadow alone doesn’t work on my eyelid.
Then I used the pale bluish mint
from my duo eye shadow on top of the crème eye shadow, they created a pretty
soft turquoise color.
I put on the pale green color
from my Maybelline trio eye shadow on the inner part of the lid, stopping half
way (they created a shimmery, Mermaid green color) and on the other half I used
the sky blue from the duo eye shadow palette. Don’t worry if the color smudge
to the lower part of your eyes because we would apply some colors there too.
Next, I applied the pale lavender
color (from the Maybelline trio) above the previous colours, only slightly,
then use the white pearly color from the same palette to fill in the brow bone
for definition. Blend blend blend, don’t let any obvious line between one color
to another. Use the pale green color again spraringly under you eyes for a soft
and shimmery smokey eye look.
In all of the pictures above i had not put on the green color under my eyes :p, sorry i forgot.
We’re done with the eye colors,
next essential step is the eyeliner. I always use liquid eyeliner to line my
eyelid, make a thick line, drag the line slightly down to create a puppy eye
effect, line longer than your actual eye.
Then line the waterline with
black eyeliner pencil from outer corner halfway in. Leave the other inner half
bare (they already got the shimmery green color from the eye shadow I used
earlier). We’re done with the eyes!
Final two steps : Cheek and Lip.
I used my Etude House (old
packaging) peach blusher on the apple of my cheeks and complete the look with
Guardian House Brand Strawberry tinted lip balm on my lips. The balm color’s
actually cherry/strawberry red but because of my natural lip color they
appeared kinda fuschia, I freaked (NO pink, remember???) so I applied my
Oriflame ruby red lip stick on top to make it redder.
Ta dahhhh, we’re done! My niece
Bb said my eye make up was very Mermaid-y, which I took as a compliment because
I love mermaids :p. Lots and lots and lots of cam-whoring pictures ahead, sorry for picture spamming because i really love the end result :p.
For the outfit, like I said
before, I chose the outfit first.. I wore this pale blue, slightly grayish and
minty (horrible at describing colors as well as scents) tulle (one of my
favorite fabric other than chiffon, they always manage to make one look effortlessly dreamy and
romantic in my opinion) dress from Zara that I bought in Singapore years ago
(but this is only my second time wearing it, too much clothes too little time
to wear) and pair it with a thick knitted (it’s kinda cold in Surabaya lately,
a complete opposite of CNY only a week ago when it was super hot and humid)
bolero with a cute heart shaped button, also bought in Singapore years ago :p.
To complete the look I put on my
heart shaped, white beaded detailed hear band and tote my floral Anna Sui
look-a-like purse. Sorry for unsightly lines and bulges, I wore a short pants
underneath the dress because it was quite sheer, I guess I wore the wrong pants
and didn’t realize it LOLOL.
So, that’s
the whole look! Hope you enjoy reading it as much as I enjoyed creating the
look, toodles!
