June 8, 2012 Makeup Gig

Yesterday, my good friend Jorelli and I had a makeup gig for a wedding. She asked me to assist her since there were 5 ladies to be dolled up. I did the makeup of two lovely ladies and she did the other three. 

Doydoy Guerrero
 This is Michelle. I believe she is one of the sisters of the bride. I used mostly gold and brown on her eyes and added a bit o f black just to define it. Her lashes are so long but we still added falsies for drama. Pink and peach blushes were used for her cheeks and coral lipstick to finish everything.



She's a mother of a cute & makulit little boy so I decided to just keep it light and simple, and she was so shy so this is the only decent photo I have of her. 




Thank you so much for your time!! God Bless! 

Love,

The colors are gorgeous and they are surprisingly pigmented. I created a makeup look using the BeautyUK eyeshadow palette in no. 6. Check this link: http://alyssamariezarate.blogspot.com/2012/06/makeup-look-burgundy-smokey-eyes.html

Nichido Sheer Lipstick with Shea Butter in Pink Ice (about P170.00)
If you are into sheer lipsticks that are super moisturizing, then this is the lipstick for you. It goes on smoothly and has a vanilla scent that I surprisingly like.

Makeup Look: Burgundy Smokey Eyes




I created this makeup look using mostly new products. I recently bought a bunch of new makeup to try and what better way to do it than creating a makeup look using all of them! 

I really like the way it turned out so here I'm showing you how to recreate this look. 

For the face, I used my Revlon Skin Matching Makeup and Cover Girl Clean Pressed Powder in Warm Beige.



This is the eye makeup that I came up with using my BeautyUK Palette in no. 6 which I got on sale  for only P199.00 from Ms. Avi of https://www.facebook.com/MakeupStashByAvi
Here are the steps to create this look. 

1. Prime the lids with any primer that you have.  I used my Urban Decay Primer Potion in Greed.

2. Take a small shader brush and pat this color all over the lids leaving a tiny part of the inner lids empty of color. Blend the color up to the crease. 


3. With the same brush, place this eyeshadow on the outer part of the lids. Blend the two colors very well. Then, take a pencil brush and use the same color to line the outer part of your lower lashline. 


4. Use any black eye pencil that you have and tightline your eyes, also line your waterline. Set the liner with a black eyeshadow. Then, take a pencil brush and use the black e/s to darken the outer corner of your lids and blend everything using a clean blending brush. Apply a little bit of the black e/s on your lower lashline as well.


5. Highlight your inner corners and browbone with this eyeshadow. 

6. Curl your lashes and apply mascara. Add false lashes if you want to.

7.Contour your face and apply a light coral blush.


8. On my lips I used Natasha Beauty Lush Lips in Bouquet.





 I hope this has been helpful. Try this and see if you'll like it. Thank you for reading. If you have any question, please feel free to comment down below.

Have a nice day everyone! God Bless Us All! <3

Product Review: e.l.f. Studio Lip Stain in Red Carpet

Hello everyone!! 

I was walking around looking for some cosmetics to buy when I saw this lip stain from e.l.f.. The saleslady talked me into buying it. She said that even after eating, the lip stain stayed on her lips. 

I decided to buy it and try it for myself. It claims that this lip stain achieves full coverage that lasts for hours. I picked the shade Red Carpet because it's red and I thought it's the perfect test-color. 


e.l.f. Studio Lip Stain in Red Carpet
This is what it looks like in its box. It costs P249.75 and you get 6ml of product. 



This is what the actual product looks like. On one end is the lip stain, on the other end is a clear gloss. 



If you are familiar with NYX's Soft Matte Lip Cream, they have very similar texture. It's very soft and very pigmented. It says on the box that you have to allow it to dry for a matte finish. It takes about 2-3 minutes for it to dry and it's completely matte. I suggest that when you apply this, be extremely careful because it's really hard to remove once it's dry. 


Time check: 5:18pm

I only applied one coat of lip stain and you can really tell that it's highly pigmented. It's feels a bit dry. I know a lot of people don't really like the feel of matte lips  but I have to say that it's quite comfortable and easy to wear. It also didn't settle on the cracks of my lips. I didn't use the gloss since I really want to test the lip stain and I don't want the gloss to sabotage the result. 


Time Check: 8:12pm
This is the lip stain after eating. Three hours later and it is still bright as it was three hours ago. A little bit of color trasfered to my spoon & glass but overall, it stayed on. 


Time Check: 10:14pm & 12:02am
I still have red lips after 5 hours but some of the color is fading. And 7 hours later, it looks like I have a pink lipstick on. I have to say that I was very surprised with this product, I never thought it would last for 7 hours. I went home and removed it with my oil-based makeup remover and there's still some color that just wouldn't budge. 


Pros:
Full coverage
Long lasting
Matte finish
Lightweight
Good quality
Dries quickly
Affordable
Available at all e.l.f. counters
Soft texture and easy to blend


Cons:
Poor shade selection (avaible in 5 shades only)
It dries my lips a bit (but it's nothing I can't handle) 
Can be very hard to remove without an oil-based makeup remover
Not suitable for very dry lips



Rating:
3 out of 5 kittens

Repurchase? Yes, I would like to try the other shades and see if they're as good as this shade. 

Overall, I like this product. I don't need to re-touch everytime I eat or drink and the shade is very pretty. 


Thank you for reading! God Bless us all! 

Love,
