Hi! I know it's been a looooooooong time since I haven't updated or posted anything in here. I do apologize, my dear readers. But no more fuzz because I'm back! :)
How are you? Great? Good! Coz I'm AWESOME!

I've just started working, well actually I've been working for 2 months now (Exactly 2 months). I'm pretty sure that's the reason why I wasn't able to update my blog. Work is great plus my cool workmates at boss.
I missed blogging!!!!
So here goes my entry.

Ever wondered why some were genetically-gifted persons while others aren't? I'm not leading to something bad or offensive, okay? I mean, some can just eat and eat and not gain even a single microgram. On the other hand, I take a bit of pizza then there goes my weight shooting upwards. Yah, I know the feeling. But you know what, I'm training myself to always look at the good side of things. I know that staying in shape is really tiresome when your body isn't designed to be that way but why bother? You just have to learn to love yourself and the rest will fall to their rightful places. Love your curves and all your edges because no one wants a stick, right? You don't need those silly thigh gaps. Smile because you'll never know who falls in love with it everyday. Live because YOLO! And the important thing of all, be Proud of yourself because no one can do your job in this world but You.

Movies to Watch...Again




 So I've been a not-so busy person for almost a week I think. Well, my schedule was filled with meetings, school, orientations, photoshoots, more thesis, and hang outs but still, I don't consider myself busy. I don't know. Maybe when you're enjoying what you do, everything seems to be easy and on the right place. One of the things I do to relieve stress and relax my nerves,  aside from shopping and eating, I watch my favorite movies while sitting on our couch with a bag of chips on my hands, lights turned off, and a big tv in front of me.

Here's my list of Movies to Watch...Again
  • Harry Potter 1-7 (I worship and adore HP!!!!!)
  • Just Go With It
  • Moulin Rouge
  • Beauty and the Beast (Because I think I am a Disney princess trapped in a human body)
  • Bewitched (2005)
  • Evita Peron
  • Patch Adams
  • Tangled (I've watched it a gazillion times already!)
  • Iron Man
  • Twilight Saga: The Breaking Dawn
  • Practical Magic

The Prom Queen: Simple Makeup Tutorial

            My previous post was about how I turned my cousin's hair into a teen queen dream-y style in easy steps. Now, in this blog entry, I will teach and show you how to glam up and enhance your beauty through a simple and minimal makeup. You can try this combination or you can experiment with your favorite colors.


 


Prepare your makeup and arranged them into something like this. Put everything in order so that you can see all of them.













First thing is to clean your face with soap and water but in this case, her hair's already done so wet ones or wipes is fine.
Put a small amount of liquid foundation under the eyes, the chin, forehead, nose, and neck. The foundation should match your skin tone or else people will greet you a "Happy Foundation Day!" Just kidding.:) Smudge and even out the foundation. Put a light coat of powder after the foundation has been dried.











For the eyes, put a small amount of eyelid primer. 3 spots of it would do.



















I'm using Elf Eyelid Primer. Actually, this is the only brand of primer I use because it's very easy to work with and handles the eye shadow well.











.Eye Shadow




Use brushes that are handy and not painful to the skin. I'm using Paganini 5-set Makeup Brush Collection from Rustan's.



In this eye shadow, I'm using MAC Cosmetics 25 Colors Eye Shadow in Metallic (not matte).














Here are easy steps to achieve a natural and light eye shadow.

1. Put a base color on the eyelids. I'm using Mac in Neutral color but any brand would do just fine.
2. Apply a good amount of Peach or light Orange color on the whole lids.
3. Apply a Pink metallic color on half of the lids near the nose part.
4. Put a small amount of Magenta or metallic Dark Violet on the crease of the eyes.


If you want to highlight more, add a darker color to the end of the eyes moving up to the crease. I'm using Mac Black Matte and Metallic.




This is what it'll look like. Not too flattering, right? This is where your blending brush enters the scene. Blend the colors together but only in light strokes so that you won't erase them. To add definition, apply a thick eyeliner. I'm using Elf's Waterproof Liquid Eyeliner. It's better to use waterproof because you wouldn't want to end up looking like a ghost when you perspire.:)


Apply a light color or white under the eyebrows just to highlight the eyes. This will also make your eyes bright.



When everything's well blended and the liner added, this is what it'll look like.You can put a longer liner wing or just like this, it's up to you.



Put thick and long false eyelashes and mascara to add  dramatic doll-like effect to the eyes.


For the cheeks, I'm using Fashion 21 Fine Blush Powder Mineral Based #7. This isn't pink or red. It's a peachy-orange color. I recommend this to people with lighter skin tones because it's very natural looking.

For the lips, use a lighter shade or something that's related to the eye color. She's using Maybelline's Pink lipstick.

 So here's our very own Prom Queen!

I look so wasted when put beside her.hahaha




You can try this tutorial in any occasion and look like a queen in your own way!
