Katy Perry "Dark Horse" Inspired Look

It's been a while since I did some creative, outrageous makeup look (by my standard, this isn't outrageous yet). Last week I posted some choices on my instagram account. By far I had the highest vote (maybe just 3 haha..) for this look, so here I am, today, attempting it.

Base:

I started with clean and well moisturized face. Then I put on the Foundation Primer, followed by the matte-wear liquid foundation in Bronze 1 and Beige 5 mixed together. Then I put on highlight using concealer in Yellow and Bronze 1. Followed by contouring in Bronze 6. My I REALLY haven't put on this much makeup in a LOOOOONNNNNNGGGGG time. Then I used the MUFE Compact Modellers highlight and contouring shades to set my foundation. Then I go over the T-zone area with Translucent Loose Powder.

Eyes:

I started with Eye Primer, dabbed all over my eyelid and bottom lid areas. Because it was a dramatic makeup, and it went beyond the normal eye colour placement, I put the primer in a bigger parameter around the eyes. Then I used the MUFE 12 Flash Color Case to start 'marking' the areas around my eyes. First I took Gold and put it in the inner corner of my eyes, following the bottom lashline and extended it past my outer corner of my eyes. Then I mixed Turquoise and Silver and washed it over the centre of my eyelid and blended it upwards and outwards. Then I took the the blue colour from the MK@Play Electric Spring, and set the turquoise colour I put on earlier. I then used the mineral eye colour in Midnight Start and created a crease from the outer corner of my eyes. Voila! NOT! Then the hardest and trickiest part, the eyeliner. I used gel liner in Jet Black and just follow the lines from this picture:

After finishing only I realized, I actually mirrored the image.. Oh well, no biggies. Put on false lashes and mascara, followed by shaping the eyebrows using eyebrow definer pencil in Brunette. I drew extra long and extra dramatic arched effect on the brows to match the eye colour of course.

Cheeks:

Just quickly blend a mix of mineral cheek colour in Cherry Blossom and Citrus Bloom on the apples of my cheeks.

Lips:

For a nude effect, I used the semi-matte lipstick in Pink Moonstone sans lip gloss. And Voila! For real.

I even tried wearing a blonde wig! Hahahah! Come visit my IG for pictures ;)

Everyday EASY Makeup Look

Yup, it's very easy. It looks like I spent a lot of time doing this look, but I probably took around 15 minutes. I could go faster, but I wasn't rushing or anything.

Okay, so here's how I accomplish this look.

Step 1: Base

Before putting on any kind of makeup on your face, please make sure your face is properly moisturized. I then put on foundation primer, followed by the matte-wear liquid foundation in Beige 5 and Bronze 1. I actually mix those two shades as my skin has gone slightly fairer over the time from the Timewise skincare regime. I apply the foundation mix all over my face using a foundation brush. Then I set the foundation using translucent loose powder.

Step 2: Eyes

First, I dabbed the eye primer all over my lids. Then I started with a warm peachy, shimmery color, Antique Rose by putting it on my eyelids. I started in the center, right on top of my iris, and blend in towards inner corner of my eyes.Then I use a medium brown color, Hazelnut, to contour my crease. This was followed by a darker shade of brown, Espresso, at the outer corner of my eyes. I then use a small brush to put some Espresso at the bottom lash line, concentrating at the outer corner of my eyes. Then I took the eyeliner and lined my waterline, top and bottom. I also put some eyeliner on top of my lid, just at the outer corner and set it from the black eye color from the Tuxedo palette. To finish my eyes, I put on double coat of waterproof Lash Love mascara in Black. I then filled in my eyebrows with the eyebrow pencil in Brunette.

Step 3: Cheek

I swept Pink Petals on the apples of my cheek.

Step 4: Lips

I always wear the Satin Lips lip balm before my lipstick. For this look, I put on True Dimension lipstick in Tangerine Pop.

Voila!

Tips: Eyebrow Shape

Eyebrows that are well-groomed and -shaped will frame your face nicely. If you are shaping it the first time, consider having it done by a professional makeup artist. Tell your makeup artist what kind of eyebrows you would like to have. Bring a picture as reference. He/ She will be able to advise whether or not the shape you want is suitable or achievable for your face. You can easily maintain the shape after. All you need is a good tweezer. However, if you choose not to do anything with your eyebrows, the least you can do is to use eyebrow gel to tame it in place :)

WOW

Yes, wow is exactly the word to describe this blog.. It's been eons (well, that's an exaggeration) since I last posted. And looking at these posts, I'm heading to a different direction now.. Not much difference, but slightly. I'm still doing makeup and anything that has got to do with face.. but one of the most important difference is now I am offering COMPLIMENTARY personal skincare and makeup class (T&C apply of course). But only for personal use. Anyways, I'm looking forward to more posts in the future (I hope!)

I have also updated my services rates.. so please feel free to click on the tab that says 'My Rates' above. I believe that rates should be publicly available for easy shortlisting by the customers, don't you? So feel free to SMS, whatsapp or viber.. I'll do my best to respond.

Till next post, tata!
