My make up secrets
March 10, 2009
Ok la since so many people want to know i think i’ll do a short entry on it. Today let’s do my eye make-up first.
(Mom’s prolly not gonna like this post because this post is full of artificial beauty and self-hurt [in her definition]but then again a lot of people wanna know how i do my make up ma. You can choose not to read it geh.)
Start with a clean face.
Actually there’s no secret what turf. I will just share what i experiment with on my face. And they may not even be pro but these are what i know that work on me. Just very simple stuff. If you expect a full make up tutorial i suggest you bury your head in like, ViVi or Popteen or something.
Color lens
To me is the most important for a dramatic, dolly look because you look instantly good even without make up. Seriously. So i wear them before my make-up. The one i’m wearing is hazel brown, bought from Shanghai. But i forgot what brand already! Love brown the most because it matches my hair color. And i cannot not wear them anymore because my hair is brown, my brows are brown and i’ve got really dark (almost black) eyeball color.
Eyebrow
I will skip the eyebrow because i think i am a major fail at brows. (Yes i dyed them and sorry mom i know i sure kena from you one) I need the right shade of eyebrow pencil, couldn’t find it in KL because most of them are too dark! I don’t know how those Japanese girls do their eyebrow so damn pretty one. And matches their hair color perfectly.
Eye
As for eyes, today i am doing a sunkissed gold hue.
1. Base.
I don’t use a certain brand of eyeshadow, as long as the colors are nice i don’t really care what brand they are.
2. light yellow/gold
3. shimmery gold
4. darker bronze at the corner of the eye. and line below the eyes too. Notice how the color lens make your eyes look 100000% more charming.
5. Eyeliner. I always use liquid for the top lid and kohl pencil for the bottom. Liquid’s the best. Don’t ask me how to use liquid to draw because everyone knows you should draw as close to the lash line as possi blah blah blah but how to do it nice leh? HA! That’s the million dollar question (if they ask the dude in Slumpdog about this, he prolly wouldn’t have won it). The secret is, you just have to practice practice and practice and you will become a pro.
Line the bottom with kohl pencil. In my self made-up make-up bible, it is okay to line the entire eye—some make up expert advice you not to do it because it will make your eyes smaller but i don’t care, because the lens are gonna make your eye like 100000% bigger anyway.
Then apply mascara. I suck at this so i’m not gonna give any advice.
Then blusher and finishing powder and all, you all know the drill!
Ok FINITO.
Some party pix with Vene @ Chivalry, Euphoria.

Little leopard print hat: Japan
Printed cropped jacket: Shanghai
Brown camisole: GUESS
Leopard print mini: Bali
Shoes: You can’t really see from this pic but it’s from Nose. Super gorgeous but hurt like hell.
Necklace: Ok can’t really see also but it’s a unique piece i received from Joyce who bought it from Bangkok!
I am not being very helpful with my fashion advice am i? >_<
Most of the things i bought are cheap stuff from overseas. I hate shopping in KL. Everything overpriced. Seriously. When you have shopped in places like Shanghai, you will never shop in KL again. For like a good while. Okay… fine, 1 week. Then you run to some bazaar then curse at their seemingly reasonable but actually really overpriced stuff (but you still buy them cuz bo bian. They are prolly still cheaper than a ticket to Shanghai). Just have to get tuned back to Malaysian price. That’s the side effect of shopping in Shanghai.
But then again i remember the day i got back from Japan i got an uncontrollable shopping rush, which is ironic because Japan was supposed to be the shopping heaven. Which is not true. Unless you are like, Jolin Tsai. Or like, Rebecca Bloomwood. Shops in Japan make Malaysia a less horrible place to live in, a more pleasant shopping paradise.
Then i went to Shanghai. The image i have of a shopping paradise changed drastically, and suddenly Malaysia is hell.
I’m not sure if how to switch between these exteme emotions smoothly without going nuts.

By the way i watched Confessions of a Shopaholic already! Very the yes offence but I think the girl who plays Beckie is really ugly. But her roomie Suz is super cute, i like. It’s quite different from the book so it got me confused most of the time but a good one nontheless!
Go watch!
PS: Thinking of blogging bout my hair/hair extension. Any suggestions? Your call. I’m feeling generous.

oh yes do blog about ur hair extensions! they are amazingly pretty and very quizzical! yes i just made up that word. but do. looking forward to the post!
It’s ridiculous how u can draw just under the eyes, so scary!
Lol thats really a nice way of putting it!!!!

The gold looks nice! I’m also interested in hair extensions e.g. how they actually work per se and do they actually fall off if you snag your hair on something.

You got the gucci tattoo heart bag.
Right?
Or is it the resin coated ones?

Nice pics, you look terrific :-) your hat seems to be eminating a strange extraterrestrial green light. Does ET live in there?
hey u should read the novel for the confession of a shopaholic.
I am not sure if u can get it at kl but there are 3 parts.
The last part that Rebecca get marry to Luke is awesome. And she has some conflict with Elainor. Hahahahah. ! Must read the novel k !
I have read the first one. That’s why i said the movie is diff from the novel. Yes we can get all of it here i think!
As to my knowledge, there are 5 books as to date.
Shopaholic & sister and Shopaholic & baby are the latest.
Nicole ! really?
Where can I get the 2 latest one? Any idea ? 10s 4 d infos
I think you can get it from any major book store. I got mine from KL’s MPH last year.

Sorry but i seriously dont know how girls can take so much time for makeup
or doing stuff like reading tutorials about it
just staying that long in the bathroom… would probably …. annoy… me
not even wanna start with shopping
PS: I have to admit though you sure look pretty
hmm, you put eyeliner as close to the lashline right? What about at the waterline? I find that it looks nicer there, but I hear that it’s not good right, since that part is sensitive and all that. :/
I’ve not practiced enough yet, but I can put liquid eyeliner better than pencil. I use pencil I feel like I’m poking my eye out oni one, coz damn hard to get the colour on my eyelid.:/
oh somore somore! (hahahahha)
How to put eye makeup that won’t be hidden once I open my eyes? I open my eye itu masa macam tada eyelid one.
(
yes pls =D…if u wan lo..cz some idiot hor..she cut my hair whn i say no=-=…so now have to do extension =D…haha..ring..ur pretty without mk up
i still like your hair from MDG, no curls no extensions..
i like your eyes o.o esp after you put contact and eye liner. LOL.
there’s the dolly look
In that last photo you look really chic!
now i think u got the potential to look like Rainie Yang with that fringe wtf~
Wuaaaaah I wanna have those lense too. :’O Read about them in an article about ulzzangs. Are your colours lense like those “cricle lense” ? (Because both make your eye more huge)
May be I should ask in our town for them. :3
Whatever,
I love the pictures and the tiny hat. *___*
Nice eye make up!N I love ur hair!
Wahh.. I should ask my sista to read this entry.. hehehehe… ;)
Hair extension, please !!!!
This will be a good post to help other girls become more gorgeous!
Anyway, natural is the best~!
Err … just curious .. did the extension thing spoilt ur hair.
Coz i knew someone who spent more than RM1K on hair extension, but end up taking them off less than one month’s time.
Not at all! Mine is perfect as ever (touch wood) and only maybe like, 1/5 the price!!!
I could never say hello to colour lens…but Never mind la…my pupils are bit brownish after putting normal cons…have no idea why.
Hee…you get it dyed. no wonder…anyway…Nice make up and i believe practice really works well on you
You look so brownish here!!
oooh…liquid for the top lid and pencil for the bottom. no wonder i couldnt get it right everytime, i always use pencil for top and liquid for bottom. kakakakakakaakaka
i should blog about how to change a flat tire in 15mins as an answer to this post.
yeah, blog about your hair……i would love to read it!!
I think you can try エテュセ (ettuise or smth i duno how to spell in english) for eyebrow pencil. They’ve got pretty bright colour to match your hair i think!
Yes, pls blog about ur hair extension…
It’s nice to shop at KL, compare to here, KCH.
love the eye shadow! gold! i was never that experimental when it comes to eye shadows. i always wear the same shimmery blue eye shadow that works very well for me. i also suck on putting mascara on. the other day, i was putting mascara on my lashes when i accidentally poked the wand on my eye. i had to redo everything i did coz my eye got all teary and smeared everything up. WTF!
Wa i always end up ruining my lower mascara one! Just wait for it to dry then wipe it with cotton bud. Or apply concealer to cover it
Impeccable taste!
i’d prefer u share ur photoshopping skill ala xiaxue. like how do u smoothen this, make that look like studio pics… etc etc. u know what i mean. we all have seen ur photoshopped pics in a previous entry but how do u do it?
Haha that would be like super long. Ok will consider about it
ya ya good!~ well, at least give some tips on what tools u use also okay lar. at least if we wanna experiment also know where to explore.
how did you watch confession of a shoppaholic. i thought its not out yet
Thanks to TIC it’s a media screening!!
Ahhh Confession of a shoppaholic…I would want to watch too. I have been reading few of Sophie Kinsella books and she is good really. Pretty imaginative and sometimes she just made me want to be the character she has just described!

Thanks for sharing! The gold is very nice! Next up, hair extensions?
