My 2nd Pictorial using the most simple / commonly seen type of eye shadow quad to create a sophisticated smokey look.

Through out this pictorial, the only brush that I used is the blush brush.

The entire eye makeup is solely done up with the sponge tip applicator that comes with the quad.
Swatches of the quad:

Finally, I have something apart from reviews and LOTD to share with you, it's gonna be what I do on a daily basis to "upkeep" my face (& neck too) and products which I'm using/used + my opinions on them. This will be more of a sharing on the routine, steps, how-to, than about the product itself. 

I will post up separate reviews on the products for easy reference and access on the product information, functions, ingredients and etc.

So here goes my standard skincare routine at the end of each working day / a day out:

Step 1: |Makeup Removal|
I'm wearing makeup almost all days of the week, minimum 5 days as I wear makeup to work. Given that this is a daily affair and depending on how much makeup I have on and how difficult it is to remove the products, I am using quite a few different types of makeup removers concurrently:

For Stubborn Makeup (waterproof mascara/eyeliner/face/lips)
a) Bio-essence Bio-Hydra Water Soluble Olive Cleansing Oil
b) Maybelline Makeup Remover
c) Fasio Point Makeup Remover

       

My work days are getting super packed! Somehow, I still managed to filmed my makeup at the end of every work day this week!

This is the simplest that I've done thus far!!

Created this using as little products as possible but not forgetting to accentuate my natural features and having my skin protected from harmful rays.

Look of the Day: 21 April 2012 (Sat)

Face
- Fasio Super Fit & Stay Liquid Foundation SPF 28 PA++ +
- elf Studio High Definition Powder
- elf Studio Mattifying Transluscent Powder (for T-Zone Shine control)

 
Hohoho!
Another new week for this series of challenge that I've created for myself and here's what's been set:

.:2012 Q2 Challenge Criteria:.
a) Using only 1 or maximum 2 colours for my eyes, and throughout this quarter, there should not be repeated eye shadows used

b) Using different lipstick and lipgloss throughout each month without repeating any lipstick and lipgloss during the same month

c) Using different mascara throughout a period of 2 weeks without repeating any mascara within that duration. 

 

Today I'm sending my guy off to the airport as he's leaving for business trip..

Not exactly the kind of day that I'm in a very ecstatic mood for complicated makeup.

This is also the go-to makeup which I'll do if I'm running out of time, or just wish to keep things simple for my usual weekend dates with friends and family.

Honestly, I didn't take down the items used, but basically, to achieve this look, just ensure that the following steps are done:

1) Choose a Bright Pink Shadow which you adore (or any shade of shadows that you want).

2) Use an Eye Primer to ensure that the shadow lasted throughout your day out.

3) Apply a black / dark brown eyeliner (best to be waterproof to last you all day) along your upper lash line and upper waterline. Basically just fill in the gaps between your upper lashes and that the liner should not be too thick. This is applied to give your eyes a "rounder / bigger" effect.

4) Using a brown/purple, basically not an intense black, to line your lower lash line to complete the "frame" of your eyes. This gives you an "alert / wide-eye" look.

5) Apply mascara that gives you volume and length. This is crucial as you are applying only abit of colour on your eye lids, so you want your lashes to standout and have all the focus on your eyes. Wear falsies if you prefer. For simplicity, I'll usually opt for mascara.

  
Hi everyone!

 
It's a happening Saturday for me as I went for a free rock n roll concert at the Esplanade Outdoor Theatres - Bridging The Blues concert (14 Apr 2012).
 
Performing bands:
1) Dave & The Blues Machine (House Band of The Cazy Elephant)
2) Skunkjive feat. Harmonica Performance by Lead Vocal

I love the live performance by crazy elephant's house band, hence get to know about their outdoor performance the day before.
