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.

Makeover: Blue Eyes & Blue Hair

As for the usual Olay moisturising lotion, Benefit Cosmetics Porefessional, 

Graftobian Desert Sand Cream Foundation & Cinema Secrets Concealer

1. Apply your moisturizer & primer.

2. Put on your foundation.

Have I stressed enough how amazing the Graftobian concealer is? If not, it is totally amazing. Don't worry if you have blemishes because the foundation covers discolorations or pimples.

3. Conceal your blemishes.

If your foundation couldn't hide imperfections, put your concealer and blend.

4. Apply black eye shadow all over the lid except the middle part.

5. Apply Blue eye shadow in the middle part.

I used Barry M Dazzle Dust. I unearthed it from my make up stash. I did not know it existed! I have been reading on these lipsticks by Barry M that I'm dying for. I guess I'll have to settle for eye shadows and then save up for the Barry M lipsticks.

6. Line your upper lash line with Blue eyeliner.

You can actually use a blue eye shadow if you do not have a blue eyeliner. Just use a thin wet brush. 

7. Curl your lashes and then apply mascara.

8. Fill in your eye brows with brown eye shadow.

9. Set your foundation with pressed/mineral powder.

I always use my matte revlon colorstay foundation because I tend to get really oily. It prevents shine on my t-zone.

10. Contour & Blush

You can actually not contour anymore. But if you want to sculpt your face, do so. For a more detailed contouring tutorial, click this.

11. Put pink lipstick.

I used H&M Pink Fool. I really love H&M's lipstick line.

Makeover: Black & Gold

The usual Foundation of Jam

Benefit Cosmetics Porefessional, Olay Moisturizing Lotion, Graftobian Cosmetics Desert Sand, Beauty Blender

1. Apply moisturizer

2. Put primer. 

My favorite is Benefit's Porefessional. It's really just awesome. I have big pores. Yeah, I don't have great skin.

3. Put your foundation.

My foundation is Desert Sand by Graftobian. I use my wet beauty blender. Actually, when I put on make-up on the go, I use my beauty blender for almost everything. I use it for my cream foundation, setting powder, blush, contouring, eyeshadow, eyebrows.

And I'm guilty for not cleaning it. Sorry, my love beauty blender. Tear

Before & After

4. Put Concealer

Well, if you have any pimples that you need to cover up..

Benefit Cosmetics: Confessions of a Concealaholic

Benefit Cosmetics Concealer

I've learned that the best way to put concealer under the eye is to shape it like an inverted triangle. From the sites that I have visited, they say that putting concealer U-shaped does not flatter the eye. So there you go! new information. Yay.

Concealer applied in an inverted triangle shape (what)

Benefit Cosmetics Erase Paste

Use the erase paste to hide blemishes.

"Flawless" ILLUSION. 

5. Put Gold eyeshadow all over your lid.

6. Put black eyeshadow onto the sides of the eye creating a C-shape and reverse C-shape. Blend

7. Put white eyeshadow (or of the same shade) near the tearduct.

This is done to make your eye POP.

8. Apply eyeliner or black eyeshadow. Wing it!

9. Curl your eye lashes then apply mascara.

Curl it first. Applying mascara before curling it can smudge and ruin your eyeshadow, not to mention form clumps of black mess on your curler. 

10. Set your foundation with powder.

11. Apply your blush.

12. Put on your lipstick.

I used Avon's Divine Wine. If you want to check out my makeshift lipstick palette, click here.
