(Pardon the outer corner of my eyes, it has been very watery lately , thus it tends to wash out my makeup) My favorite makeup tool is not my brushes nor my sponges. I have said it before and I will say it again, the best makeup tool are your clean fingers. Take note of the adjective. :) Brushes can create precise strokes but when you are in a hurry to the office or late for a meeting, you don't have all the time in the world to different kind of eye brushes right? Fingers offer nice pressure points and can heat up the product instantly because of their warmth. Even Michelle Phan does her makeup using her fingers like this tutorial:
Not all eyeshadow can work well with my favorite tool (fingers). I have observed that eyeshadow with frosty finishes works are the easiest to apply using your fingers. It goes on creamy and glides smoothly on the lid. For this look, I am using this beautiful and very affordable palette from 4u2. Click my review here for more information.
I wore this look on Valentine's day and I got compliments from the BF!
First, I apply the rosy champagne shade all over my kid with the use of my middle finger. It is best to use to ring finger if you have smaller lid.
Spread it all over your lid above and make sure it is slightly above the crease area.
It should look like this.
Then to add definition to your eyes, place a darker shade on the the outer V with your pinky finger. Then, Apply mascara and tightline your eyes with black liner. Line your waterline with a peach/beige liner (I am using Nichido Pencil Concealer in Natural) and line your lower lash line with brown liner to not forget to highlight the inner corner of your eyes.
Tadaa!! the Final look..

Have you tried applying your eye makeup with your fingers? Godbless everyone!!
I feel old. Do not get me wrong I am not experiencing a quarter life crisis just yet. It is just that I miss those days when I lock myself in my room and play with makeup. Haha I attempted to do a look today. It looks so bland.The lack luster feel of it made me erase every single photo but I left this one for this post. Waahh,,, I should do more Fotds since there are no photos of my works anymore.. I need inspiration. I do not want to immerse myself with annulment cases anymore. Haha I feel so stressed hearing marital problems! It does not help me in coping with my relationship right now.
When asked by my boss "are you now losing faith in marriage?"
My answer: Hell no! I am LOSING FAITH IN MEN. :))
Anyways, hopefully I can create and recreate more looks soon. Don't you think? Btw, I do not wear eye makeup in the office. You would rarely see me with eyeshadow on. That's why I miss playing with makeup. Haha
Here is something I like to play with soon. A gift from my cousin. Isn't it cute?
I will be going to Iloilo tomorrow. Wish me godspeed and a safe trip.
Thank you Lord for the blessing of life and the opportunity to have a profession. Let me feel your grace every minute of my life. Let me appreciate You more and the blessings that you are giving me.
Also, my warmest thank you to everyone who messaged me and commented on my last post. Thank you Thank you.
Let us be thankful in all circumstances. Godbless everyone!
Barbie is not the only girl who can wear pink that good! I honestly think that pink is the most versatile shade because it can make one look sweet or sultry. With a swipe of your pink lipstick or a pink blush, it can surely brighten up your face effortlessly. I know some people who think of pink as a very repulsive shade. I, on the other hand, love it (to bits!) aAnd if you are worried that you might look like having a debut or sweet sixteen with your pink shadow, lipstick or blush.. try matching it other colors. You do not have to be pink from your eyes to lips!! I atill remember being a huge fan of light pink lipstick and bronzer look! I sported that look for months!
I added a touch or plum, purple and browns to dimension to my eyes.
Products Used:
Moi Cosmetics Metal Palette
EB 24 eyeshadow palette
MAybelline black gel liner
Milani COlor Brilliance Eyeliner in black
Shiseido Perfect Mascara in Black
Gosh Eyeshadow Base Unbranded False Lashes
Avon Simply Pretty Eyebrow color in Brown
For the lips, I am rekindling my love for NYX Thalia and I added more color by applying Wet n Wild Lipstick in Mauve Madness on top. That its why it looks a bit nude and purplish in the picture. For the Face I used Nature Republic's Bloom Bebe Foundation in No. 2, Fanny Serrano 2way Foundation in Orleans and NYX Blush in Angel.
I hope you are having a fun weekend! I really miss doing FOTD's!! hihi Have a blessed Sunday to everyone. :D
This look s requested by Tamara of www.cherrycolors.com. She asked me if I can do a yellow pink eotd. Honestly, I do not know how to put these two colors together without adding orange eyeshadow.. I think those three colors look good together.. pink, orange and yellow. For this look, I used my 180 palette. Here is a quick tutorial for this look:
First, apply primer on your lid. I used The All Natural Face Eyeshadow Primer which I bought from Etsy.com. Then, apply a matte yellow eyeshadow on your lid.
Then apply hot pink e/s on your outer v moving towards your crease.
Apply black e/s mixed with maroon e/s on your crease and outer V. Blend and apply more black e/s to achieve the depth you want. Sweep some shimmery light pink e/s on top of your crease and matte white e/s to highlight your brow bone.
Apply liquid eyeliner on your upper lashline. I used l'oreal lineur intense liner.
Apply shimmery yellow on the inner corners of your eye. Add a shimmery pink e/s on your lower lashline. Do not forget to line your eyes with black liner, put on some mascara on your upper and lower lashes. Use falsies to create a more dramatic look.
Here is a quick tip: apply black eyeliner your upper waterline to define your eyes more.

I really love my header,, It looks so cool. I also love the violet ribbon on my title.. I am also planning to buy a new palette from coastal scents as a gift for myself on my birthday!! weeeh..
