Wishy Washi Tape: Decorating Make-up

I have recently encountered Washi tapes. Yeah, I am now a bit late in the fad but to my defense, it's fame just reached Manila a few weeks or months ago. I don't know for sure. Ah. You get the point anyway.

I have decided to use washi tape to cover my cracked eye shadow palette from H&M. That palette was my favorite handy dandy palette but then its cover cracked. I hesitated bringing it and putting it in my make-up kit because it does not look good anymore. Shallow, jam. So when I received my washi tapes, I covered it!

ITEMS NEEDED

• washi tape
• scissors (optional)
• cutter

Here are my newly-bought washi tapes. They are priced at around 60 to 70 php or $1.3-1.5

First Project: Broken H&M eye shadow palette

I covered the broken plastic case with the washi tape. I added a few centimeters on each end for the sides. Remember to flatten the washi tape so there are no bubbles on the surface.

Overlap the washi tapes a little bit so that there will be no visible blank space.

After fully covering the case, I trimmed the excess washi tapes on the side using a cutter. 

After trimming the sides, the cover now looks clean and neat.

Second Project: Lipstick palette

I created this watercolor turned eye shadow palette. It was previously covered with ugly stickers. Yeah, it didn't turn out like I wanted to. Check it out here

I stripped stickers off the lipstick palette.

OTHER WASHI PROJECTS

I covered my iphone charger right after getting my washi tapes so pardon the poor application. I just love this Eiffel tower design.

Don't worry if you have holes on things you want to cover. Just pop it out using a cutter. 

Here, I covered my 20,000 mAh powerbank with 3 types of design.

TADA!

All are now very colorful and fun. This makes me so happy lol!

Makeover: Much Too Vamp

Clean your face & smile like a weird person (optional)

1. Prep & Apply

As for the usual, I put on my sunblock & Porefessional to minimize appearance of pores.

I used Revlon ColorStay as my foundation just because I haven't used it for such a long time. It was actually okay. Before then, I didn't like using this foundation because it was really thick but I've learned how to use it properly.

Apply concealer if the foundation didn't cover everything that needed to be concealed.

2. Fill Your Brows

3. Set It

For my oily skin, I really need to set it with powder. I used my Maybelline Loose Powder.

4. Base & Eye Shadow

I applied White eye pencil on my eyelid so that the color of the eye shadows will look really intense.

I used my H&M eye shadow palette.

I applied blue on the lid.

I then added black just above the blue eye shadow.

Blend upwards. You can also clean up the space just below your eyebrows by putting concealer.

I added a lighter shade of blue on my lower lash line.

5. Apply eye liner.

6. Contour

Apply a brown shade on the parts of your face you want to push back.

6. Blush

Apply to your cheeks.

7. Apply a dark lip color

I used Wet 'n Wild's Vamp It Up

Yeah, I'm sorry for my dry & chapped lips. Oh yeah, I also forgot to put on lip liner. 

7. Eye Lashes

Curl your lashes and then put on mascara. Not the other way around.
