I am NOT good at doing make up AT ALL
I've started doing make up for school since I was 14.
The major reasons that made (or should I say 'forced'? xD) me to do that
The major reasons that made (or should I say 'forced'? xD) me to do that
is because the majority of girls wearing make up..
you know...you will look very odd if you don't put your make up on
I don't feel regret about it to be honest
It gave me thoughts and skills on doing make up and caring about my look
Its not only helping to stand out the features on your face
but also to build up your own confidence!
This is why I am wearing make up everytime when I'm out.
ANYYYWAYYYSSS
This is how my daily make up looks
I don't put loads of make up on
and it's mainly because I can't do more complicate make up than this HAAHA
but other than this, I think too much make up is not necessary for daily make up..
and I bet it will cause little damage on your face if you wear it for too long!
My daily make up is very simple
I'm only wearing eyeliner and I bet everyone could do this look without looking at my crappy tutorial xD
But I'm gonna put my brief tutorial anyways :)
Daily make up Tutorial
1) Skin-care
It is truly important to apply skin-care products
before actually applying cosmetics on your face!
Sooooo applying whatever skin-care products
that you normally use first!
I personally just using this facial spray to moisturise my face.
Here I am using moist-full facial spray from Etude House.
I prefer using facial spray than creamy moisturiser
especially in summer because it's not sticky at all.
2) Dark Circles
Excuse for my horrible drawing xD
I have a serious problem on dark circles.
The best way and most natural way to reduce dark circles definitely is go bed earlier!
Other ways is using concealer to cover up them
Here I am using Angel-fit pore zero base
from Maybelline
It contains sunscreen SPF 25+ and it is especially useful in summer to protect you from sun-burning.
Apply this around your eyes and areas that you feel you need to.
Apply this around your eyes and areas that you feel you need to.
Using your fourth finger to blend out the base as it is the weakest finger which cause less damage to the eyes as well as reduce the risk of loosing the skin.
Move onto the concealer -
Here I am using Surprise Concealer from Etude House.
From what I've been told from my friend that how to get the right tone concealer for your eyes, you just simply choose the tone that two tones lighter than your normal skin tone [foundation tone].
Applying concealer under your eyes and also on wings of your nose. Once again blending out the concealer with your fourth finger.
2) Eyelines
Tadahhh
your eyes should look more better now! ;)
Next move onto eyeline part!!
Drawing eyelines are very simple step but it definitely make a HUGE difference on the look of your eyes!
It defo makes your eyes look bigger and prettier!
Here I am using Code B gel eyeliner from Etude House (again xD)
Apply this on your eye lids and start off drawing thin line then gradually build up the width[?] of it.
But make sure it is not too thick otherwise it will end up looking too heavy and uncomfortable.
Tbh, it really depends on how your eyes look like.
I've got 3 eyelids and if I draw it too thin, you won't even noticed them..so for me I have to fill in about half of my first eyelid for a noticeable status.
You could use your preferable eyeliner (liquids, pencils, etc). I prefer to use gel eye liner and it is very easy to handle :) I personally quite like the gel-eyeliner from Maybelline but too bad the one that I have is non-waterproof and it won't keep my make up from smudging especially in summer.
Then move onto drawing the wing upwards at the end of your eyes.
If you can handle your eyeliner very well, then can simply ignoring the step of changing your cosmetic.
But for me, I have to use a different eyeliner which can draw thinner lines.
Once again, waterproof eyeliners would be helpful to keep your make up from smudging.
3) Curling lashes and applying Mascara
And your eyes should looks something like this!
Before applying mascara, it's worth to settle your make up by applying Powder all over your eyes' areas. (Sorry I completely forgot to take picture for this step!)
The next step is to apply mascara.
Mascara is not only helping you to extend your lashes but also to make your eyes look more stand out!
To curl my lashes, here I'm using electric eyelash curler from Log-on store. It's very cheap here in Hong Kong but I'm not too sure about other countries.
I've once looked on Amazon and they've got some quite affordable too.
BUT no worries if you can't or not have a thought of getting the electric lashes curler. All you could do is heating up your eyelashes curler by hair dryer (or maybe heating lol?) for seconds and they should work the same way :)
This helps to make your lashes even curler!
Then applying your favourite mascara.
Here I am using Lash Enamel Glamour Volume on Majolica Majorca
Apply this all over your upper and lower lashes.
4) Highlighting your eyes!
You should notice that your eyes look different by now right!
Almost done with your eyes!
Next step is to highlight the inner corner of your eyes!
To highlight your eyes, it is essential to have shimmering cosmetic that could make your eyes more stand out.
Here I am using the bling bling white shimmering eye stick from Etude House.
You could also use white shimmering shadow if you don't have one.
This picture should explained more HAHA
The area that I (or the pen? xD) pointed is where the shimmering shadow or stick or whatever should be applied.
Hope this helps!
5) Defining your Eyebrows
Defining your eyebrows make your eyes look more balance and it helps to cover up any imperfection on your eyebrows if you have some!
You would notice how defining eyebrows made a huge difference for the entire look!
Choosing a colour that close to your natural eyebrows colour is very important!
You don't want to end up having a very unnatural and heavy eyebrows right? xD I personally perfer light brown :)
Now your look should look something like this!
And you're done with your eyes!!!
Next you could apply blush or leave it like this if you want to!
I normally like applying bronzer, unfortunately I left mine in UK and I hardly find one in Hong Kong!
Bronzer helps to make your face look slimmer, whereas pink-ish/orange-ish blush gives out cuter look.
6) Lips
Next and final step!!
Apply your favourite lipstick/lipbalm!
Here I am using Coloured-lipbalm by Etude House.
My lips are always dry (and I don't know why)
If I apply lipstick on its own, my lips end up looking dryer and more horrible and that's why I prefer using lipbalm or coloured-lipbalm.
After this and you're done for the daily make up!!
This make up acutally took me just about 10 minutes maximum to do it HAHA
and I believe this is not hard for everyone too!!
Thank you for reading this tutorial anways
I know it's not something that makes you go 'WOW'
and I have to admit that it's soooo crappy HAHHAHA
Sorry :p Hope this helps anyways :)
and Peace!! xxx
