Mel's Playroom: Tutorial

Hi ladies!

I'm being very energetic to write these days. So, I'm coming back with another make-up inspiration that I'd like to share with you guys.

As you all know that today is Halloween Day and some of us might have a party tonight, have you prepared your costume well? I hope so.

I'm not going to have a long talk here, so let's begin! This is my simple creation. I believe that some of you might have the one that more sophisticated.

How to get this look?

1. Prepare your 'canvas' well. I used as usual, moisturizer, CC cream, and concealer as a perfect base to draw on.

2. I used white eye shadow, mixed with baby powder and applied to entire face and lips as well. I also erased one of my eyebrow color.

3. Start drawing with eyebrow pencil. If we used to use 2B pencil to draw on paper, eyebrow pencil is the best for our face.

4. After that, bold the line with black eye shadow or gel liner (which one you comfort with) and fill with white color for the nest, so the black color will stand out. And for lips, I inspired by pop-art color.

5. The final result!

The whole product that I used to play

So, how? Are you ready for the part tonight? ;)

Feel free to leave any comment and see you in the next post!

With love,

Hi ladies!

Special post for today! This is my very first make-up tutorial. I know what I have done is might be very simple, but every big things always starts from a single step, right?

I came up with this idea at sudden when I was about to sleep 2 days ago. Then, yesterday, when I got a little time before taking shower, I create this kind of look. Its indeed easy and only took around 30 minutes at least.

So now, allow me to show the steps.

1. Same as usual make-up, start from the complexion. I already prepared my face with moisturizer, CC cream, and loose powder.

2. Draw random patterns until it looks like a mozaic pattern on your half-side face with eyebrow pencil. It easier to be erased if needed.

3. Fill the pattern with random colors as you like it with eye shadow. Tips: start with white color on some spots because white is a neutral color and you will be easily mix the color after that. Then, If you think the white is too dominant, you can simply cover it with another color without make it mess.

4. Cover the original lip color with liquid concealer. It will make you easily apply the color on your lips.

5. Bold the pattern line with black eye shadow. It will emphasize the colors that you apply before and make them look bright and contrast.

Voila!

Those are all the tools that I used

So, how do you think? Please give me your advice and critic. I will appreciate it for my improvement. I'm still newbie with this kind of tutorial thingy. Hehe.. Anyway, some of my friends recommend me this look to be entitled as Halloween make-up, but I still doubt this will fit in. How about your opinion ladies? Shall I make another make-up look that more Halloween?

With love,

Seeing the colors provided inside the bag, I made this kind of signature romantic natural look for you and those who will be on date. Yeah, you go girls! Awesome your partner!

Here we go!

FACE

I applied Caring Colours Blemless Balm "Everlast" as the base.
After that, I went with concealer from other brand.
Put the BLFP powder onto my face.

EYES

Finish with the face step, I continue by drawing my poor tiny eyebrow and gave highlight on the brow bone, then move to coloring my eyelid as steps below:

Put the nude pink (#3) onto entire eyelid as a color base with the sponge.
Continue with pink color (#1), apply diagonally from inner lid to outer up eyelid with the sponge.
Last, put the purple color (#2) with shadow brush from outer eye bone, daub it slowly half circularly outer to half inner eyelid.
Stick the false lashes as your choice.
Draw an eyeliner, I used gel liner from other brand onto upper eyelid and half on bottom.
Put the mini mascara, daub it in zig-zag way.
Put #2 as outer highlight and #3 as inner highlight onto the bottom eyeline.
I wish I had a better camera T.T

CHEEK

Just simply daub the pink blusher onto the cheek. I moved it from up-outer cheek bone to inner cheek. This supposed to reduce chubby look. Other way, you may move it circularly onto the cheek bone for cuter look. Don't forget to SMILE while applying! It helps you to determine where your cheekbone spot.

FYI, I really love this color. It gives me a very natural fresh pink on my cheek, yet slightly shimmering.

LIP
Last but not least make-up step, coloring the lips!

In the photo, I used these steps on my lips:

Apply a lip balm first as lip base.
I put #1 as first layer. Because my bottom lip is thicker that the upper one, I don't daub the lip color entirely. I just daub it until half part of my bottom lip horizontally.
As final layer, I put #3 to give more natural look.

A little tips from me in using the lip color:

#1 is better for day activity
#2 for night activity or particular event because it helps to define you entire make-up
Mix-up with #3 to soften the lip color
You may just simply choose #3 for daily activity to keep your look very natural and smooth

FINAL
As a final touch, I daub a shimmer, not a real shimmer but outwitting from a shimmer eye shadow, onto my entire face. Make it looks a bit glowing and glittering. *cling-cling*

And... this is it!

So, do you have another look inspiration by using the product? Or eager to join the blog competition? Find the detail info regarding the contest on YCPA's site: http://www.ycpa-info.com/.

Ulzzang... Ulzzang... is become trending topic nowadays and I'm really intrigued what the Ulzzang is! And here is what I found out.

Ulzzang is originally come from Eoljjang word in Korean (얼짱) and means "good looking" or "best face". The term of Ulzzang is being used by netizens to vote for a contest, but now it has been developed into a subculture or style, despite of a contest event. And after some little research, I took a conclusion that Ulzzang look is most come-up with natural but emphasized at eyeliner usage. Isn't it? Please correct me if I wronged.

Then today, before I went to office, I tried my simple and natural Ulzzang look as below:

For this my Ulzzang look, I used:

Face:

Caring Colours Blemless Balm Cream Everlast
Marck's Loose Poweder Pink
Caring Colours Beauty License For Professional (BLFP) "Hang Out" Luxurious Perfecting Blush - Rose
Maybelline Eyestudio Diamond Glow Shadow #1 as shimmer

Eye:

Viva Pencil Brow - Brown
Maybelline Eyestudio Diamond Glow Shadow:

#1 apply as base thorough the eyelid
#2 apply on around eyelid
#3 apply on the eyelid
#4 apply on top of eyelid sticker to bold the eyelid line

Oriflame Lip Spa Therapy as base
Caring Colours BLFP "Hang Out" - Happy Series Lipstick. I applied #3 on top of #1 for natural look

So, am I Ulzzang enough? Please get me some comment, friends :)
P.S. I didn't put any fake lashes and concealer because it is too thick for office work :D

Thank you,
