Just to see you nude

I-it's not what you think it is!

Yeah right. Kinky title. Called it as such because this look is perfect when wearing nude colored dresses for special occasions. Take note, special occasions, cos you might go overboard wearing make up like this on an ordinary sunny day. Wait. Scratch that. This might work on a fun night out, too.

I did this last February, as preparation for my friend's look for a frat's induction ball she was attending. She asked me to go do her make up for her, so I eagerly agreed, of course. Love you, Nicole. <3 I did it on myself first to see if the colors would look good together.

Cranberry + gold, a little brown on the hollows of your eyes, YUM-UH.

 Add a pop of color to your lips, let's say, MAC Craving, shall we? And you're good to go.

Pardon the bushy eyebrows and the messy eyeliner,  I only did this for a little more than 5 minutes.

Remember: it's okay to break the rules sometimes, but see to it that it's for the right reasons. A dark eyeshadow color calls for light colored lips, but as you can see, I used neutral colors for the eyes, so it really doesn't give that clownish effect. Also, this is quite acceptable especially when going for a nude attire.

Live long and prosper.

One of the basic makeup rules(unless you wanna look clownish) is toning down the eyes when a dark shade of lipstick is preferred, and vice versa. Like this one look I made.

Ahh, RED. My ultimate favorite color, which, by the way, is my color of choice for my lips. Way back I often wear red lipstick(yes, even in school, though more toned down) but when I started dreaming of becoming a MUA I began venturing on other shades like pinks, purples, and oranges. I'm still in love with red lippies and If I get to be stuck on an island with just one lipstick in hand I'd bring my Ruby Woo with me. Now what are the odds I'd actually get stranded, hmm?

Ta-da! Finished product.

Not obvious here, but I used gold on my lids, then white eyeshadow over the gold for a more subdued look.

Finally, dark brown on my outer v's, white eyeliner on my bottom waterlines, and brown eyeliner on my upper lashlines and bottom waterlines. Wow that's a mouthful.

Just my two cents: If you like applying eyeliner on your bottom lashline, it's better using a brown one cos it'll look more natural than when using black.

Okay, uhm, ignore my Mom's freaky college grad pic at the back.

See what I did there? Dark lipstick, and just the right amount of eyeshadow, nothing too dark, cos you wanna draw attention to your lips.

On my lips: Nichido red liner, MAC Russian Red
On my eyes: e.l.f. 100-shade palette(dark brown, gold, and white), Prestige white eyeliner, MAC Stubborn Brown eye pencil), Majolica Majorca Lash Gorgeous Wing Neo mascara

Live long and prosper.

MAQUILLAGE

So what’s with all these experiments with make-up? For the record I’m no professional MUA. I just like to do it as a hobby, one I started doing since college. I was inspired by my sister’s friend. She had attended various workshops, and I was enthralled by how well she can apply eye shadow and how professional-looking her make-up case was, what with all the things there inside. It took a long time before I got a make-up case of my own. My sister gave it to me as a present about two years ago. But it never got full. Not even halfway there. I was a student for crying out loud, I was poor, and I was only able to buy things that were student-priced. Hahaha. Anyway here’s my good ‘ol hollow box of wonders.



On the contrary my sister’s case is quite crammed already. Believe it or not, this sister of mine has about 40 lipsticks in all. Majority of those are MAC lippies. Like WOW. I benefit from this really, cos I can borrow anything from her. Cheers for having a sibling who is just like me, only older.

The perks and upsides of the working class. Sigh.

It just takes practice to perfect applying make-up, really. Even salesladies handling make-up counters have a knack of doing it too.

When I start working and get my own munneh, I’ll purchase more stuff then maybe, just maybe, after work, come med school, I’ll be capable of balancing medicine(priorities, priorities), freelancing as a MUA, and being a mother of three. All that I can become, well, except for the last part. Not yet. :)

Live long and prosper

Your future physician talking.

I've been coming to class for almost a week now, yet I still can't fathom how I managed to pull through. Studying medicine, come to think of it, really isn't that difficult in itself, but lectures go zooming by. Typically, a doctor-professor lectures a good-for-one-semester topic for a mere few hours. That's what makes Medicine pretty much hardcore. And I'm up for it. Just as long as I have my lipstick on. *Pouts*
