Makeover: Bluegreen Smokey Eyes

1. Moisturize and put primer on face. (I don't have a primer so..mehh) Apply your foundation. I used my Graftobian cream foundation using a beauty blender. (For more information on how to use the foundation with the blender, check out number 3 in Makeover: Purple & Yellow Eyes)



2. I used my Le Faerie Cosmetics eye shadow palette. 


If you have an eyelid primer, go on and apply it first. 

Put a brown color on the crease of your eyes and blend out any harsh lines.



Next thing I used is Max Factor's Kohl pencil eyeliner and put it under the brown eye shadow. Outline the eyelid and shade the outer corners. Leave out the middle portion.



Blend!


Use a black eye shadow and pat it down onto the corners and blend.



Put a white eye shadow on the middle



Put green eye shadow on top of the white color and blend.


Just add more green if you don't think the color doesn't "pop." You can put black on the corners again if you overdid the green part. Adjust and don't be afraid to make mistakes. 


If you made a mess with other parts or your eyes or if you want to make the edge straight, just put foundation over it to "erase" your mistakes.


I added a silver color on top of the black and fanned it out (just blend it upwards: the topmost, the lightest).



Use the eye liner again to line your upper and lower lash line. You can also wing out the edge. I also added the black and green eye shadow on the lower lash line. I also cleaned the wing with foundation (not the picture below).


3. To set the foundation, I used a matte powder on top.


4. I contoured my face a little bit using Miss Bella Cosmetics Contour Palette. (for more information on contouring refer to check out number 5 & 6 of Makeover: Conceal, Contour & Highlight)



5. As for the usual, curl and put on mascara.


6. For the brows, I just filled it in with brown eye shadow.



7. For the lips, I used H&M's Pink Fool.

Here is two more annoying pictures of me. I'm sorry I didn't notice the lipstick smudged a bit :))

Makeover: Purple & Yellow Eyes

1. Use a moisturizer and let it dry. I used Olay moisturising lotion. It is so cheap! I only bought mine for 99php.


2. As you can see, I do not have flawless skin and my skin is prone to acne. Huhu :(


I used Benefit Cosmetics' Porefessional on my oily spots.



After that, I put Cinema Secrets' concealer on my pimples and scars.


I just recently found out that to erase dark under eye circles, you need to put concealer under your eyes up to your cheek bones in an inverted triangle. Putting concealer only under your eyes will look bad (say the beauty gurus I watch on youtube).


3. My mom bought me a new foundation and the famous "beauty blender."

First thing you need to do is to squeeze the beauty blender and let the water seep in.


Squeeze it again to remove excess water.


Towel-dry it until it is just a bit damp.


I smeared a bit of my new cream foundation from Graftobian Cosmetics.


Use the tip for hard-to-reach areas and the base for applying foundation to the other areas like the cheeks, forehead, etc.

  

4. I applied a matte powder to set the cream foundation.


5. I applied Victoria's Secret bronzer and blush.



6. I applied brown eye shadow to my eye brows.


7. I used my Le Faerie Cosmetics eye shadow palette



I put yellow on my lid.


I applied a dark purple color on the crease line.



I applied a lighter purple color on the crease and blended the colors.


 I applied white on top of the brow bone to highlight it. 


I put Max Factor's Kohl pencil eyeliner on the crease line and blended it.




I put a grayish color on top of the blended eye liner (on the crease line).



To clean out the edge, use a wet cotton bud (or you can dip it in make-up remover)





8. Curl your lashes and put on mascara. You can also put eyeliner on your upper & lower lash line. You can also put the dark purple color on your lower lash line.


9. I used IN2IT's pik alarm on my lips.
