Light Neutral Smoky

Harlow Everybody!!!

The title seemed a bit oxymoronic, coz smoky eyes are usually very intense, but the one I did was really so light that it was as if I had nothing on. But if you see the before and after, there's really a great difference!!! I looked more awake and less sick.

Most of the time I went really light on my strokes, hence the hardly can see colors. If I were to use a heavier hand, the look will be smokier, and it will be really suitable for a date night. =)

I hope you all enjoy this look!

[Update] Finally, got the photo. It was on a card, hence the lousy quality. I looked like I don't have makeup on, but if I didn't have any, myface would be oily, skin lack lustre, spots all over. Acne marks a lot these days... Here's the photo!!!

Hardly any makeup on...

Angelina Jolie inspired look from The Tourist

Hi, finally uploaded this vid. I was experimenting with the voiceover, and I really suck at picture description (I recorded it while looking at the video). I tried talking while doing my makeup but I failed terribly, coz I couldn't speak and do the makeup at the same time. Heh, talk about women being multitaskers... So, in the end, I swap my voiceover with song and type notes on the vid..

Anyway, I did a simpler version compared to the one she wore in the movie. It is less smoky and really wearable for everyday look, eh, less time consuming too. The 2 colors, Smoke and Cement were from my favorite Bobbi Brown duo palette. I had used the smoke eyeshadow to fill in my brow, so I can bring one item less if I go out with this look and wanna touch up. Heh heh.

Have fun!

Beauty Routine for Work & My Daily Makeup

Finally... I have 2 clips up for viewing!!! As it was my first time, I was still trying to figure out the crooks and crannies (is this the way to say it?) For example, the speed of the clip, or rather my own speed, the quality of the clip (definitely a lot of room for improvements), the way I show my makeup (I think I just wanna be different from the rest of those makeup channels, display my personality in it, heh heh).

When I first put up these clips, and saw myself, I thought it was so weird, watching myself where I used to watch Michelle Phan or Marleena from MakeUpGeek in the YouTube interface. Then, later I realized, I was actually showing whole world my little private ritual for every morning, something which my sisters don't even get to see in real life.

Beauty Routine for Work
This is the facial routine that I do on work day morning. The only thing I didn't do on weekends was using the BB cream. If I'm going out, I'll use my foundation, for better coverage.



My Daily Makeup
So this is the makeup I put on for my work. I try to be as basic and as simple and as natural as possible. I worked with a lot of guys, so putting too much makeup might make me look a little too ladylike. Well, I'm an engineer and you know what they says about female engineers. And to be truthful, I really have female engineer friends who don't dress up. The last one I put makeup on for her forgot she had makeup on.


Please comment after watching so that I can improve!!! Thanks!!! One thing I notice about myself is frown less smile more. I look so unhappy doing those vids hor?

P/S: It's "Nook and cranny". =)
