[Tutorial] Taupe-Brown-Gold-Emerald Make-Up Tutorial....?

hey everyone, i want to mention that this makeup tutorial is inspired by MAC eyeshadow called 'club'.

it looks like emerald-forest green under the light but it looks deep chocolate brown when in the shade.

i don't know how to name this look but it's quite mysterious yet effortlessly beautiful.

So if you want to achieve this look, then keep reading!

1. Start by adding UD Eyeshadow Primer Potion.

2. Apply NYX 615 Slate all over your eyelid as a base colour.

3. Then take MAC Old Gold and apply it to the inner corner & the centre of your eyelid.

(Make sure to use it with a mixing medium because it really brightens up the colour of Old Gold)

  

 4. Add MAC Woodwinked on the lower corner lashline but blend it out on the middle. 

(or whatever that will give that nice gold shimmer) 

so this is the final look!

it looks emerald green and brown...

but in the light, it looks gold brown...!

or silvery brown... and yes, these shades come from the same make-up.

i swear.

so i hope you enjoyed this tutorial and want more make-up tutorials,

[Tutorial] Blue Emerald Make-Up Tutorial

Hey everyone!

This one will give the impression that it has some similarities to "The Heart of Eternity" look. However, you'll realize that it's nowhere close: this would be more of the warm-tone appropriate look.

Let's Begin!

Before the pictures were taken, 

I applied MAC's Woodwinked on the inner corner all the way to the centre of the eyelid. 

(sorry these pictures were taken from some other time...)

I then applied MAC's Blue Storm on the outer corner, blending softly to the middle. 

Like other tutorials, I created a sharp wing instead of blending out the edges.

If you want more drama, blend Blue Storm with mixing medium and pack it on the other corner.

I kept it natural because I like it natural.

I just thought the look is a bit too simple and wanted to add something on top.

I therefore applied Chanel's Illusion D'ombre in 84 Epatant on the centre of the eyelid.

(If you want a review on the product, please click here)

And I also had Illusion D'ombre on the lower lid. 

This method will give you that pop on your eyes and also that innocent and teary-looking eyes.

(make sure that you don't overdo it though...!)

Finish off with Blitz and Glitz.

And... that's the end of the "Blue Emerald" tutorial :)

[Tutorial] Starry Night

I came up with this make-up named "Starry Night", inspired by Van Gogh's masterpiece.

(Credit: Click here for the enlarged view of Starry Night)

Although I know nothing about art, it's a masterpiece of my all time favourite.

I love drawings or paintings that look like a real-life image or scenery but Van Gogh was an artist who led me to open my eyes to the world of abstract art.

Dark navy shade (although it looks black) was to create as the night sky, while golden eyeshadow was to create the stars and the moon. This make-up is great for club night but also great for day-time make-up with lighter intensity.

So, let's begin! 

The first two steps are just like the Trip To El Dorado" (Click here for the link to the tutorial): use GL02 (Missha The Style Metallic Eyeshadow) on both the inner corner and the lower eyelid. 

Then, apply MAC's Woodwinked on the outer corner. 

If you want more dramatic look, apply Woodwinked to crease and blend it upwards.  

Then, take Almay Eyeshadow Trio Smoky in Smoky Blue and 

add the deep blue shade on top of Woodwinked (outer corner and crease).

Brush off the excess and, using a fluffy brush, 

blend the border of all three shadows on the centre of the eyelid.

I always had problem with lighting but this is the closest-to-real-life shade :)

So that's the end of Starry Night.

I used warm-coloured nude pink lipstick to finish off the look and 

minimized the use of blush to attract people's attention towards my eyes.

[Review Preview] Fall-esque Eyeshadows

Hey everyone! As you may have seen from my latest haul, I purchased three eyeshadows from MAC: Bronze, Woodwinked, and Amberlights. All of these eyeshadows, especially woodwinked, are well-known eyeshadows but I found some conflicting views as supposed to what other bloggers have said so I decided to post a review on these eyeshadows. Please stay tuned for a complete review :)
