Victoria's Secret Runway Inspired Makeup

Hey Guys!! :)


My 3rd makeup video tutorial has been on youtube for almost a week now and I was planning on posting it here just hours after i uploaded it on youtube but i didn't have photos like from my other makeup vids. I googled how to get images from a video but man its so hard so instead of going crazy over pictures im just gonna let this one slip :) I still hope though that you would still like this makeup tutorial.

Anyway this is a Victoria's Secret Runway Inspired Makeup. I played with brown and gold mostly and im glad it turned out great, this is actually one of my favorite eye-makeups. The idea came from my sister, i was skyping with her and she suggested that i should do this look. So yeah i hope you'll enjoy this one :)

First Halloween Look!

Hey Guys!

We're already in the second week of October and November is just around the corner, which means Halloween! I've never actually done a Halloween makeup or generally the creepy look because im used to doing the typical makeups, you know, on how to look beautiful and not scary :))

And also Halloween here in Philippines isn't really the same like in other countries where costume parties are very popular and trick or treats (maybe for some well off communities) but generally it is recognized as a solemn holiday where the souls of the departed are recognized and respected.

But yeah, back to makeups, i realized that this other idea is very challenging and will tickle your mind with creativity and imagination. I always think that a good make-up artists know how to reach outside their comfort zone and explore with different ideas. As an artist, you need to have vast amount of creativity and remember that there are no limitations.

So here is my trial halloween look, I made a sketch draft first before putting it on my skin

                    

From Paper

 

 To Skin

The idea is Blue Butterfly, which may not be very apparent :)) 

 More photos!

  

I used an edge brush with black eyeshadow to make an outline

 

 For the blue face, I used Elianto's blue shadow which is very well pigmented

 I used the same Elianto blue shadow over Mac's red lipstick to achieve the vibrant blue shade lips

 I thought of smudging the eyeliner for a creepier look :))

But this may be the creepiest picture....

Comment below what make-up ideas you want for the Halloween! :)

That Red Lips!

Hey! :)

So lately I've been obsessing over red lips and the whole classic look. Though I barely touch my red lipstick, because i find it very extravagant for daily use, there's always a time when i want to look elegant and sophisticated. 

Every skin tone can rock a red lips. Whatever the color of your skin is, you just need to find the right shade of red lipstick,  may it be orangey red or browny red, you'll look great! Just step up and be confident! 

For me, I believe that there are two ways on using your red lipstick and how to pair them with your eye shadows.

There is the Classic, Simple Yet Elegant look.  

The Marilyn Monroe, Taylor Swift type

With your basic make-up products you can pop this look in just a few minutes! 

• Just an eyeliner and highlighter or any light shimmery color shadow for your eyes and light blush on cheeks, and ofcourse your rocking red lips!  This look can be vavavoom!

And there is the Party Rocking look with Dark Smoky Eyes paired up with red lipstick to create a dramatic effect

This look is best for night outs! With the eye shadow blending, this may take a few more minutes than the classic, simple yet elegant look. But after finishing this look, you'll surely rock the night out!

• You just need dark color shadows and good blending skills for your eyes. Barely there blush or just a bronzer to contour your face and the rocking red lipstick!

...and here is my red lipstick look! 

I did the classic, simple yet elegant look...

                           

I used my MAC Cremesheen Dare You lipstick

I used Elf's black eyeliner for my eyes, concentrating on skin just above the upper lashes and white shimmery shadow on the inner cantus

I used my Sephora bronzer to contour my face

I always see women wearing red lipstick as bold and confident

FUN FACT!

 Red lipstick can make your teeth look whiter! 

TIPS!

If you want a longer lasting red lips

Grab some tissue paper, blot your first lipstick application and reapply your lipstick again.

Don't want lipstick on your teeth? 

Take your pointed finger, make an open "O" shape with your lips, stick your pointer finger in your mouth, gently press your lips around your finger and then slowly retract your finger back out. This method will help you get rid of the excess lipstick that went too far on your lips and save you from getting lipstick on your teeth.
