Make up wonders
Monday, August 16, 2010
There's always something great about girls. Its that we girls get to dress up prettily and make up beautifully. Its worth the hours getting ready. So I think guys shouldn't complain that we take hours to get ready. =) The outcome of a beautiful face and pretty outfit is worth the hours. All the effort put into making up is just so that we look better and boost our self esteem. Well, I'm not too sure for other girls, but it does for me. I always feel more confident with make up on. Whether its a light one or a heavy one. Its not that I'm not satisfied with my looks, but more of like enhancing it. I've came across the make up world only when I started college. When I realised the wonders of tinted moisturisers to begin with.

It made me look fresh all day long.



Then came along concealers for my under eye as I have dark circles all the time, whether I slept enough or not.


Soon, I came to realise the magic of eyeliners, on how it enlarges my eyes instantly. Starting off with pencil liners. These Lancome eyeliners really does wonders. Highly recommended. =)




But not long after I ventured into the clubbing scene, I started to rely heavily on gel eye liners as they are water proof. Which is suitable for sweaty conditions.

And I swear by this Majolica Majorca Mascara (Lash Expander Frame Plus). It comes with fibers in it that extends my lashes by miles. Every girl must haves for a complete look.



Then, my mom introduced me to this beauty. Its Bobbi Brown's Shimmering Block used as bronzer. I've got tanned skin, so blusher don't really suit me. Instead bronzer looks really pretty. This particular one is really, really very good. Highlights the jawline and cheekbones.

My latest would be the discovery of BB creams in the market. Decided to give it a try and it really does make my skin look smoother. However, it only gives medium coverage. Comes in handy for day make ups or light do. Am currently using Skin79's Diamond Prestige BB cream. Not so suitable for me as it makes my skin look white and pale. Suitable for fair skin though.

I'm into well groom brows as well. I started off with threading, bearing with the pain I go through just to look good. Then slowly, I started paying slightly more for Shu Uemura's professional service which is less painful and better looking brows. To define my eye brows, I use KATE liquid eyebrow liners which looks natural.


As for the powder, I've been using Benefit's Get Even. Full coverage and evens out skin tone. I have blotchy face where my cheeks are reddish. This powder does the trick.

I'm no pro in make up. But the wonders it does for me, makes me feel confident when I'm out and definitely makes me happy. Top shopping items for me. Can never get enough of them. =P

toodles,
