特別＊聖誕妝＊分享:: Snowflakes Face Painting Makeup

如果今年可以過一個落雪嘅聖誕真係會好難忘!

今次個底色我用咗紛紅色胭脂,掃混個額頭, 再加少少紫色眼影, 增加dreamy感覺。

由中間開始畫上snowflakes.  因為snowflakes比較細緻,所以要用支好幼嘅掃.

Snowflakes 點樣畫? 好簡單, 先畫一個"米"字, 然後喺尾尾畫上個細 v.

之後隨意畫多一兩個 snowflakes or swirls.

記住要畫多D點點，感覺會 snowy D!

This time I used a pink blush as the base colour and then I added a little bit of purple to make it more of a dreamy look.

Starting off with a big snowflake in the centre - remember to use a thin brush because the snowflakes are very detailed so you need to make sure your brush is thin enough to draw the lines.  How to draw the snowflakes? Super easy, start by drawing a "cross" or a star and then at the end of it add a small "v".

Then just randomly draw 1-2 more snowflakes above the brows and add some swirls.

You can also add more round dots around the forehead & the flakes which will create a more snowy effect.

Enjoy & happy holidays!

::白色聖誕靚靚妝:: White Christmas Inspired Makeup::

Are you looking forward to Christmas as much as I am?  I’ve been thinking a lot about white Christmas this year and here I came up with this inspired look.

先用白色由眼角位置開始. Curls 可以間單畫, 然後好似倒轉咗嘅S畫上大大粒圓點.去到另一邊眼角再畫上curls, 我覺得唔需要同另一邊一樣!

我會再點多少少白色, 喺大圓點周圍掃上細點. 大同細點加埋個effect 會多點立體感同有一種snowy 感覺☺️
想再bling bling D就可以加D閃粉! 今次喱個party look真係好間單, 只要用一隻色已經夠哂sharp, 好適合Christmas 呀!

First of all, start from the corner of your eye with some curls.  Then start to draw big round dots as if you were outlining a horizontal “S” until you reach the other side of your eye.  I think the curls doesn't necessarily have to be identical to give it a more natural look.

After that I’d start adding some smaller dots surrounding the bigger dots, for a more snowy effect.  And this is what we want for a white Christmas right?  You can also add some glitter in to emphasize the effect. 

希望你哋鍾意 :) and lets start to count down to Christmas!!

Hope you all liked this and lets start to count down to Christmas!!

How I Touch up my makeup

將近年尾,特別多gatherings! 返咗成日工, 個妝都需要touch up吓㗎!

 

It's the time of the year where we are all busy with catching up with friends and lots of gatherings.  Well, after a long day at work, you definitely need to touch up your makeup before seeing your friends right.

Below are the 3 products that I'd use to touch up my makeup:

以下三樣係我補妝o既必須品:

1. Lemongrass House:: Rose Absolute face mist

2. Shiseido:: Sheer Eye Zone Concealer

3. bareMinerals:: Mineral Veil (loose powder)

 

 

 

 

 

先用 rose water refresh吓.  因為玫瑰水保濕成份高，又適合敏感皮膚，所以我都覺得幾好!

然後到主角喇!! Shiseido Sheer Eye Zone Corrector ::  

不是新東西,但係之前買咗一直都唔記得用! 最近日日都用佢補妝, 真係越來越鍾意!! 我鍾意佢保濕度高, 耐咗唔會出乾紋又夠持久, 一D都唔厚妝 :) 不過就要花少少時間推開去. (我用的是104號色) 之後再上少少粹粉咁就可以靚哂去見朋友喇!

 

Spending at least 8 hours in the office with air conditioning, no doubt your skin would dry up. I would first spray rose water to refresh my skin, then use :: Shiseido Sheer Eye Zone Corrector for the main touch up.  Mostly to cover the dark circle areas or use it as a highlighter.  I like this product a lot because its moisture enough and is long lasting. The texture is not thick at all and it doesn't crease the lines below my eyes, but you will need to spend a few more minutes to blend it out evenly.  Lastly, lightly use the bareMinerals loose powder over the face and you're all good to go :)

3. bareMinerals:: Mineral Veil (loose powder) -- purchased from Facess along with the foundation set

＊我的秋冬眼線妝＊ My Aututm/Winter Eye Line Style*

哩個係CLIO:: Gelpresso Pencil Gel Liner Mini :: The Color of 2014. 雖然2014年就快完，我只係一直買咗都冇機會用  但係而家終於到秋/冬天喇!  我覺得紫色同秋冬季好襯，所以最近先成日用佢。

CLIO:: Gelpresso Pencil Gel Liner Mini :: The Color of 2014.  Although we are only a month away into the new year, I actually purchased this quite a while ago but never got the chance to use it until recent, because it's finally the autumn / winter season!! I always think that purple is a winter colour, so lately it has become my favourite style.  

 

Gelpresso Pencil Gel Liner哩五隻紫色真係好靚呀,同埋可以有好多玩法。

最淺色:: Shine Lavender No. 12 可以當作highlight畫喺眼頭.

第二淺 :: Frozen Lavender No. 13都比較淺,如果單做眼線會令到隻眼好細, 一定要同其他色blend.

最深色:: Blackish Orchid No. 16 可以當平時黑色咁用,畫喺上眼線位置.

 

This pack of mini Gelpresso Pencil Gel Liner are gorgeous! Because it has 5 different tones of purple, you can actually do a lot with it and have different look. And I love the packing of it, so convenient to carry around.

Shine Lavender No. 12 :: The lightest shade, can be used a highlight

Frozen Lavender No. 13 :: The slightly lighter shade, I think that this purple is kind of pale, and if you used it alone as an eye liner it will actually make your eyes look smaller, so it goes better when blending it with a darker shade or other colours

Blackish Orchid No. 16:: The darkest purple of all, I like to use it as a substitute of black.

 

2014 Orchid No. 14 & Bloody Purple No. 15 係我嘅最愛!  我會先用紫色畫上上眼線，然後喺貼近睫毛上用black liquid eyeliner 幼幼咁畫多一條眼線,咁樣望落去會令到隻眼精靈 D, 同埋唔會咁悶! 日日唔係黑色或啡色眼線真係幾悶㗎！

 

2014 Orchid No. 14 & Bloody Purple No. 15 are my favourites of the 5!! I would use the purple liner to draw on my top liner, then use a black liquid eye liner to draw a very thin and fine line above it.  This would give your eyes are more define look.  I like this drawing because I get tired of looking at myself always in either black or brown eye line!

  

有D人可能怕紫色好誇張，其實唔會㗎。就好似 Bloody purple No. 15 比較subtle, 大家可以試吓 

 

Some people may think that purple might be a bit overwhelming, but actually it's not! Look at Bloody purple No. 15, it is rather subtle and is worth a try and I'm sure you will like it

Halloween *Party Look* Butterfly fly away~

我諗好多女仔都同我一樣鍾意蝴蝶 :) 我覺得蝴蝶好靚好unique!  

今次想分享一下這個butterfly inspired look, 都好適合去party㗎!

I think that butterflies are beautiful and unique..this time I would like to share my butterfly inspired makeup, which is quite suitable for parties and especially with Halloween coming up! 

首先由淺至深色畫上隻翼(隻翼通常上面大過下面, 大概就ok)
然後可以用黑色gel liner開始做outline
再隨意畫上curls
唔想咁悶的話就可以用白色眼線隨意在眼和蝴蝶的周邊畫上點點.

First, start off with the lighter shades from inner to outer..you can add in the colors you like, but I prefer this rainbow shade..the wings doesn't need to be perfect, just approximately is fine, because after shaping the wings, i would use a black gel liner to draw the outlines of the butterfly. Then just casually draw in a few more curls.  

If you don't want it to look too plain, I'd added some white dots using a white eye liner pencil around the eyes and the butterfly to make it look more lively! 

完成了! 希望大家鐘意這個蝴蝶look :p

Ta-daaa~ I hope you all like this butterfly makeup :p

*粉底液分享* Review: bareMinerals Pure Brightening Serum Foundation

其實我哋每日都搽好多chemicals喺塊面道，所以今次見到bareMinerals Serum Foundation個description好似有好多護膚功能 especially 無有害防腐劑!! 真係幾吸引所以忍唔住買咗返屋企試吓!

Do you realize how much chemicals we put on our faces each day? You would be surprised! SO, this serum foundation claims itself with No Fragrance,  No Paraben, No water, oil or silicone and yes, it absolutely got me!! 

喱一set 有6樣 products: 
So this set came with 6 things:

•  Pure Brightening Serum Foundation (我買的是8 號 Bare Beige, 帶點金色/ golden tone) The shade I got was 08 Bare Beige.
• Brush
• Prime Time: Foundation Primer (Original)
• Loose powder with mini brush
• Makeup bag

  

收先我試咗個Primer.  唔知點解我搖咗好多吓，pump出嚟都係好稀. 搽咗上面個texture都好滑,但係都係覺得有啲乾..

First of all, the Primer - I'm not sure why it still came out very watery after I had shake it vigorously. The texture is very smooth and silky once applied on the face, but I think it dried up my skin pretty quickly.  

到上粉底液喇~記住先要搖勻粉底液! 而滴兩滴真係夠哂全面.

Next is the foundation~ Remember to shake it well so that the ingredients inside will mix thoroughly. And I'm quite surprised that only 2 drops are enough for my face.

 

  

第一次用我覺得好易推, 同埋好薄, 仲見到真係明亮咗! 但係塊面會有一達達!!! 可能轉季, 皮膚比平時乾 :( 
第二日我上粉底前用咗上次買嘅 bareMinerals Nourishing Cream, make sure 塊面夠保濕先上粉就冇再一達達或脫皮喇! 不過到了2-3pm個鼻平時冇乜油都出油了.. 
所以我覺得可能未必太適合乾性皮膚用:(  at least 唔係好適合我用..我已經冇再用了such a waste..

First time using it - I think it was easy to apply and I like how it's very thin layered and it gives you an instant glow.  But my face looked patchy after applying it all over my face, it could be due to the recent weather change and that my skin is still not yet adapted to it. 
The next day, I gave it a second try and before applying the foundation, I made sure my skin was moist enough so I'd applied the bareMinerals Noursihing Cream.  It looked less patchy, however, around 2-3pm (after my lunch time) my T-zone area became a little greasy/ oily.  So after all I think this foundation isn't really for me :( 

  

最後就係這個loose mineral powder: 好幼細，同埋有點閃粉可以令到個妝更有光澤. 但係我唔會用拒送嘅mini brush,因為好"吉".

Lastly, it's this mini loose powder.  It's very light and has some glitter or shimmer in it which I believe brightens up your skin, but I don't find it that amazing. And I wouldn't want to use the brush it came with because the hair is so hard and makes it very uncomfortable! 

Overall, 我唔係好鐘意這個serum foundation :( 有點失望. 最鐘意係個loose powder, 因為個size夠細, 好方便放喺公司隨時補妝!

Overall, I don't like this serum foundation :( In fact, it's very disappointing. Loose powder was the one thing I liked most, mostly because of the size, it's so cute and handy that I just leave it in the office to touch up anytime!
