Office Make up Look

Assalamualaikum and hello loveliesss~~~

So today I've tried very hard to upload my video on Youtube at library around my house area. Turns out the internet here is pretty suck! Calm down, Naj.... *at the edge to throw my lappy out of anger*

Anyway, I just upload new video about Office Make up Look Tutorial. I've been working in different kind of industries; administrator, technician, waitress, art gallery. And I have tried many different kind of make up everyday just to experiment with the looks and this is by far one of my favourite and mostly wear whenever I went to work (*I use 'went' as past tense because right now I'm just a stay at home lady/housekeeper for my parents.heheeh*)

Without further ado, let's check out how I apply this polished and quick make up look:

1. As usual, I primed my face, under eyes, lips and my eyelids using primers and moisturiser to ensure that all the areas are protected. Then, I took lightest brown matte eye shadow (sort of like beige kinda colour) and applied it to the whole eyelids area up until my brow bones. That will be my base colour.

2. Next, I went ahead and took medium brown, also matte eye shadow and applied it to my creases/sockets and bringing it upwards just before my brow bones.

3. Before I applied some contrast on outer corner of my eyes, I applied my kajal eye liner and add up tiny bits of flick on each outer corner of my eyes (this step is totally optional). As usual, I applied black matte eye shadow on the eye liner to ensure that the liner stays longer and didn't budge.



4. Then, I took the same black eye shadow and dotted it at each outer corner of my eyes. Taking some dark brown eye shadow, I mixed both black and dark brown shadows in a swirling motion from outer corner to inner corner. This method is one of the way to create lift illustration on my hooded eyes.

5. Next, I applied couple coats of mascara before I started applying my foundation and concealer.

6. Finally I went ahead with my cream blush to create that glow, fresh looking skin.

Makeup For Beginner : Quick and Simple Makeup

Assalamualaikum and hello Lovelies ~~~

Today, I want to share with you how I always do my simple make up for casual occasion, hangin' out with my friends or families, or when I have to go for business meeting. Most of the product that I used are the ones that I bought from Malaysia and some of them I bought when I was in China.

Products:

BB cream by Elianto

Cream concealer (02 Medium) by Elianto

Loose powder (sand beige) by Collagen

Cream blusher (coral) by MSQ concealer palette

 Mascara (black) by Essence I Love Extreme

Lip balm by Maybelline Color Bloom


Step by step:

1. First, I always moisturise my face, under eyes, and also my lips before I start to do my make up to ensure that my skin has some protection.

2. Then, I start dotting my BB cream on my cheeks, nose, chin, and fore head.

3. Using a damp beauty blender, I dab the cream all over my face. Beauty blender is one of the way to apply foundation or BB cream quickly and evenly.

4. To cover up some of my blemishes and scars, I use a cream concealer with a dome shaped brush. Dab the products on your skin instead of rubbing it to ensure you get the full coverage. After using the brush, I will gently tap the concealer on my skin to make sure it blends well with my skin.

5.  To conceal my under eyes dark circle and lines, I apply the same cream concealer along my under eyes, then taking the damp beauty blender with some loose powder at the tip of it, I dab the beauty blender under my eyes. Because I'm using damp beauty blender, so when the powder dries, it will create patches under my eyes. To remove the patches, I just take a clean brush (without no product on), and brush off the remaining powder.

6. Before applying powder all over my face, I apply some cream blusher in tear drop shape from my cheek bones to the apple of my cheeks. Cream blusher tends to look more natural and it suits nicely for dry skin or combination skin with dry cheeks.

7. Then, I apply a tiny amount of loose powder all over my face using powder puff. Sometimes, I use a powder brush. And sometimes I didn't even use powder at all especially during winter (when I'm in China), to prevent my skin from peeling off or becoming too dry.

8. Because the purpose of this make up is SIMPLE and EASY, so I skip the part of eyeshadows and liners, and go straightly to applying mascara. I only apply a couple coats of mascara on my upper and lower lashes.

9. Finally, I apply my favourite lip balm to give that pink-reddish color with moisturiser. Muah!

So that's about it. Very simple but still make you look fresh. And besides, most products are affordable and easy to find in Malaysia.
