Here's a makeup look suitable for special occasions and or weddings! It's a bit strong for everyday wear, but looks great for evening lightings. For redness of the skin, use a green color shadow or concealer to color correct, and then go over with a light salmon colored concealer. This applies to areas around the nose, especially.
A little late, but here's one of my newest tutorials of one of the covergirl x star wars makeup looks! This one here is "mystic" and the original look is by Pat Macgrath.
Been bombarded with assignments, and exams and all that jazz for the past 2 weeks. Hence the lack of activity on this good ol' blog/ creative outlet/ blabber outlet. Haha.
To make up for the lack of presence, check out my latest makeup video and come say hi!!
Ok, byee! haha shortest post ...EVER.
Until next time,

PS: You are beautiful just the way you are created =)
Hope everyone is doing well! For those who are in school, hope your first month was a blast and that you are learning lots! My first month of school zoomed by, and was pretty hectic with all the tight scheduling and loads of homework. Nonetheless, I'm enjoying it though haha (minus the frustration and waking up at 5:30am everyday).
Here is a makeup look I've been wanting to do for a long time! I was rummaging through my box of makeup and came across this neon orange lipstick by Mac. I had no idea what to do with it since I don't wear much makeup on a normal basis- let alone wearing a neon orange lipstick! Therefore, I decided to use it as a color correctant for my makeup look. I used the orange right on my dark circles to correct the color since my circles are brownish in color. I then layered two layers of concealer on top to achieve that porcelain look.
Strong, full brows and thin liner. That's the key to balancing off the classic red lip!
Happy thanksgiving everyone. Take the time to slow down, and appreciate and be thankful of everyone and everything around you.

For those of you who have been up to date with fashion shows around the world, NYFW recently ended just a few weeks ago. The DVF show makeup really caught my attention, and so here is my take on the runway makeup!
I've toned it down so that this look is more wearable, but still has that blue- green jewel toned look! Check out my video tutorial as I show you guys how to achieve this look!
Here I have a new video update for you guys! A sophisticated, and fierce makeup look! I've noticed this look being populated by many Kpop artists and many celebrities throughout Asia. Usually for Asian eyes, North American makeup technique is to load up on heavy shadows and fill up the large negative space above the eyes that Asian eyes have. This is due to our double eyelids being thinner, or that we have monolids, meaning that the crease above the eyes are not visible. Although making use of the negative space is important (this makes the eyes appear larger), using heavy shadows on the lids may weigh the eyes down, and make them look "swollen" or heavy. With that being said, I find that using less shadows and more eyeliner is more effective when it comes to enhancing the eyes (especially for asians that is.)
Check out my above video, and you'll see what I mean!
Hang in there, everyone! Instead of writing a whole lot of blabber, I've decided to have a video tutorial up for you guys. Since a picture is worth a thousand words...I wonder how many words a video is worth...haha!
Anyways, the makeup look here consists of a sultry, effortless fall style makeup. All the colors here are very warm, but with a hint of coolness to it. Lips are kept to a gradient berry shade, and is a bit on the darker side which suits the autumn weather perfectly.
Hope you guys learn lots, and continue to grow from your mistakes!
