light e/s attempt + liquid foundation application for shiana

Light e/s attempt

Hi everyone.. :D I know you have seen me in bold, wild and smokey colors.. One thing I can not do well until now is light and everyday makeup. I really have a hard time choosing the right colors and just making it light. I tend to overdo it all the time. :C I am envious with some asian bloggers who just look so flawless with light makeup! yay! So,, here is my attempt to light e/s.. I think it looks ok. how about you?

Products Used: 78 pc. e/s palette from coastal scents avon makeup fresh radiance makeup base as primer avon super shock mascara nichido liquid eyeliner milani color brilliance in black

^ i had this for quite some time now but never used that much. perhaps used this 2x as blush highlighter. I really thought it would be comparable with the body shop's glow enhancer but to my dismay.. it is not even an inch at par with it.. i tried using it today as e/s base. And i liked it. The consistency is also great. Very blendable. It does not add that much vibrancy to e/s but it does make my e/s stay in place. yey.. so,, this thing will not go to waste after all..

^^ lids with fresh radiance makeup base.. blended with foundation. see.. not noticeable..

-oOo-

Next stop,, Shiana, a reader, asked me how do i apply my liquid foundation. I perceive liquid foundation as a base rather a foundation that you could use by itself. I am using Maybelline Angelfit foundation which I really love.. consistency wise and coverage. :D I also have L'oreal True match in nude amber (a darker shade of golden beige foundation) I hate looking ghostly on the pictures and in real life so i mixed both foundations to get my perfect shade. crazy? i think it is ingeniuos.. haha well, girls like me who is neither fair nor dark are probably the ones who have the hardest time looking for perfect color match.. (just my weird opinion.. hihi) So,, here are my simple steps to liquid foundation application.

I.
I have dry skin so i make sure my skin is well moisturized before anything else. Other people would apply primer first.. but i always skip this part that is why i sold my the face shop span primer at ebay..
^^my moisturizer is st. ives.

II.


III.

On not so busy days, I use foundation brush (elf) in applying liquid foundation. I just wished I have a softer and fuller foundation brush because using foundation brush rather than your fingers is better,, imo. It is more hygienic and the application is more even. :D (Any recommendation on cheap foundation brush other than ecotools?)

III.

Conceal dark spots or other impurities. I use VOV concealer and I finish it with a layer of powder foundation or mineral foundation. :D

^^ please don't mind my puffy eyes and chapped lips.. just me with foundation.. :S
( i told yah i look boring without makeup.. hahaha)

** UST suspended the classes for next week because of the (H1N1) virus.. Instead of being alarmed,, I was quite happy.. yay.

  3. you look great with any look! From Bold, light, and natural. You are naturally pretty. I wish I can rock bold colors like you!

    The Coastal Scents has a good foundation brush. I think. . .

    H1N1 virus?! haha, I'd be partly happy, and partly scared.

  4. Hmmm I should try coastal scents eye make up... I usually find that light colors don't show up as well as dark colors espeically light pink and yellow. And I don't think you look boring without make up! I think you look great!!

  16. that cs palette really intrigues me XD everyone seems to have it, it must be good no? :D I always use moisturizer too, I dont like the idea putting all make up straight to my skin without anything in between XD if that makes sense haha

    ReplyDelete

  19. eyemakeup looks cute! I tried to photograph light e/s makeup but it doesn't show up. lol i'm such an amateur.

    by the way,
    Maybelline Angelfit breaks me out like CRAZY. It happens all the time with ANY maybelline liquid foundation! I'm sad, because like you said, it gives great coverage..
