Face It: Warm Touches With Mettalic Silver For The Holiday


I'm back again beauties. After a very hectic schedules this week, I and B (my hubby) just stayed at home today. Mind you, we are supposed to meet someone in Makati today but it has been cancelled. Anyway, last Tuesday, after buying some Christmas presents for our family and friends and yes, despite of our busy schedule, I still got the chance to make a make-up tutorial again even late in the afternoon when we arrive hehehe. Ala lang, I just got in the mood to do so. Well, I could say that getting my face made-up is also my way of de-stressing. 

Anyway, I love how this season is making our days cold especially at night. That's why, my make-up tutorial that I will share with you today is somewhat related with our cold season now. Well, the colors I've used for this tut has warm touches; just so perfect to compliment our weather. Again, this tut is a shortcut version. I will skip to post some steps.

What I used:
 I only used ES26, ES20, ES3, B3 and B4 from this palette.

ooOO0OOoo
Step 1.
Prep your face (moisturize, applied foundation, set powder and lining your eye brows). Using the small concealer brush or apply the pencil directly to lids and spread it using your ring finger, I applied the NYX Jumbo Eye Pencil in Milk from the inner corner of my eyes up to almost 2/3 of my eye lids. That will serve as my base color.
NYX in Milk.

 
ooOO0OOoo
Step 2.
Using an eye shadow brush, I picked ES26 from my NYX Palette and topped it off of the eye pencil in Milk. Same as 2/3 of the lids.

ooOO0OOoo
Step 3.
Using the same eye shadow brush, I picked Wheat Shimmer Wash from my Bobbi Brown Nude On Nude Shimmer Wash palette and applied it in the middle part with outward strokes but not reaching the outer part of the lid. See the photo below.

ooOO0OOoo
Step 4.
I applied the NYX Jumbo Eye Pencil in Slate at the outer-V, then, blend it inwards up to the crease.

Apply a small amount of NYX in Slate and then... Blend!


ooOO0OOoo
Step 5.
Using the same eye shadow brush, I picked Mica Shimmer Wash from my Bobbi Brown Stonewashed Nude palette and I topped it in the NYX in Slate. Blend it inwards.


ooOO0OOoo
Step 6.
Using the eye blending brush, I picked the ES20 from my NYX Palette and applied it in the crease area starting from the middle lid (where you can see the Silver) sweeping it down. It will create a deep set onto my eyes. Then, using the flat eye liner brush, I picked Mahogany from my Bobbi Brown Stonewashed Nude palette and applied it starting from the outer corner of my eye up to half of my lower lash line.
 
See the result? An illusion of my deep set eyes.

ooOO0OOoo
 Step 7.
I lined my upper lash line with IN2IT liquid eye liner in Black.
And then, I picked ES3 from my NYX palette and applied it near my tear duct to brighten my eyes.

Then, After curling my lashes, I applied my Maybelline Volum Express Mascara in Black.
Okay! You're done with your eyes. That's warm to look at, eh?

ooOO0OOoo
Step 8.
Contour your cheeks. Using my flat-top bronzer brush, I picked B4 and applied it onto cheeks with downward motion (see photo on how I do it). Then, I picked B3 and applied it in the apple of my cheeks, then blend it with the B4. Don't forget your jaw line and chin.

ooOO0OOoo
Step 9.
For my lips, I applied NYX round lipstick in Tea Rose. I really love this pink shade! Then, I applied lipgloss in the middle of upper and lower lip for a lip pout effect.
 

So, there you go beauties. That's another make-up tut which is perfect for Christmas season. This is nice for a Christmas date with your beloved (BF's, partner, hubby) or get together with your family and friends or attending any parties. I'm sure this make-up will make you stand-out.

Here's another shot:

Just recently, my B said my face looked thin in almost all of my photos. Honestly, he didn't like it. He said I'm losing weight again hahaha. I took it as compliment and secretly I am happy with what he said. It means that I'm not fat hehehe, and then, maybe that's the result of contouring my cheeks...it creates illusion of hollow cheeks and c'mon... it does a nice result in photo. Do you agree?

Okay, so much for this. There's still more Holiday make-up tuts to be posted soon. Smile always and stay tuned. Merry Christmas!

Face It: Get Glam This Holiday Season with NYX Cosmetics


Happy Holidays! I missed blogging a lot. I've been very busy lately "making" money to spend this  holiday season hahaha. Thanks God for all the blessings. Whoah! Christmas is just 4 days away and yes, of course, Christmas Party is happening left and right, people are very busy going to the malls and what else shall I say? The result is a very heavy traffic! Hehehe...

Speaking of Christmas Party, I really miss attending a Christmas Party. Ever since I decided to go Freelancer, I haven't got the chance to attend Christmas Parties. The last party I've attended was from my previous work years ago. *Sniff sniff... I miss the Angels hehehe...

Today, I want to share with you the FOTD (Face Of The Day) I made which I think would help you prettify yourself in attending your Christmas Party with not spending much going to a salon to have your hair and make-up done. 


You can use your available make-ups if you have a similar color with what I have used in this tutorial. I used inexpensive imported cosmetics named NYX. This is also locally available by an online reseller but I got mine by ordering through CherryCulture.com online. I love NYX because aside from its cheap price, they've got colors that are really great to play with. But I already stopped buying cosmetics online because aside from I already have enough make-ups; the customs duties and taxes really, really SUCKS! If I needed to have some again, I would purchase to a local online reseller (a lot in Multiply site).

 Oh I love the colors!

____________________________________________________________________________
Step 1.) 
To start with, moisturize your face first so the cream foundation will smoothly glide on when applied. I'm using Clean & Clear Oil Free Moisturizer. Apply a small amount onto your clean face and neck.

...oO0Oo...
Step 2.) 
Apply the Etude House BB Cream onto face and neck using an angled foundation brush. 


...oO0Oo...
Step 3.) 
Set your foundation with powder. I'm using Natural Rice Oil Absorbing Powder in Natural. I used a large foundation brush to apply the powder onto face and neck.

...oO0Oo... 
Step 4.) 
Apply an eye shadow base to make your eye shadow last longer and make the color more vibrant. I used NYX eye shadow base in Skintone. Apply it onto lid up to the brow bone. Use your smallest finger to spread the cream on your lids. Also apply a little in your lower lashline, too.

...oO0Oo... 
Step 5.) 
Lined your eye brows. Well, this is optional. You can do your brows later on. I used IN2IT eye brow powder.
 

...oO0Oo...
Step 6.) 
Using the eye shadow brush, I picked the silver labeled as ES26 from my NYX palette. I applied it onto my eye lids starting from the outside corner of my eyes outward leaving the outer crease area. See the whole palette below so you can recognize which color I am pertaining to.

...oO0Oo...
Step 7.) 
Using the eye blending brush, I picked from my NYX palette a royal blue color labeled as ES24 and applied it in the outer-V and crease area.
 

...oO0Oo...
Step 8.) 
Using a fluffy eye shadow brush, I picked a shimmery white eye shadow labeled as ES21. I applied it onto my brow bone sweeping it down to the corner of my eyes.
 

...oO0Oo...
Step 9.) 
Using an eye blending brush, I picked Blue-black color labeled as ES30 from the palette and applied it onto my outer-V in circular motion and blend it inwards and onto the crease area with the royal blue color.

Step 10.) 
Line your eyes. I used IN2IT liquid eye liner in Black. Apply it closely in the lash line.You can wing it a bit at the end if you want.

...oO0Oo...
Step 11.)  
Using a flat eye liner brush, I picked the blue-black color from the palette and applied it onto the lower lash line up to 2/3 area. Then, I lined my water line with IN2IT eye liner pencil in Black. Curl your lashes and apply your favorite mascara. I used IN2IT water proof mascara in Black.

...oO0Oo...
Step 12.) 
Contour your cheeks if necessary. Photo below are the blusher, powder and bronzer from my NYX palette. Using my flat-top bronzer brush, I picked B6 and applied it to my cheeks starting from the side of my ear down to the hollow of my cheeks. This will make your face look thinner. Then, I picked B3 and applied it in the apple of my cheeks bringing it up to my highest cheek bones. Then, I blend it over to my hollows, jaw bone and to the chin bone.
 

...oO0Oo...
Step 13.) 
Lastly, apply your favorite lippie. I used my Revlon Colorburst lipstick in Blush. Then, I top it off with shimmery lipgloss.
 

So, that's it! You're done now with your make-up. It's time to make your hair a do! So, go grab your curling iron and set your loose curls!


I hope this make-up tutorial helps. It's just a basic but then, simple strokes of make-up will make you pretty. Agree? Thanks for reading beauties!

Smile and stay tuned.
