Breaking it down: My Brow tutorial

adorebeauty06 — Fri, 26 Apr 2013 10:53:31 SGT

Many of you at Twitter, Instagram and Facebook have asked me how I did my brows. I snapped these pictures while I was peepping my face. Dont mind my swollen eyes. It was really early and I was really tired. Besides that, I had fun. I knew there was the apps that could fit in about 9 pictures. So thats what I took! Best part of it is I was not late to work! Haha! Anyway, other than my video tutorial, this is basically a breakdown of how I did my brows.

I used the same products for years now so these products work for me even when the weather was hot and humid or wet. They sticked with me throughout and im glad to be sharing with you this step by step tutorial.
Top row, from left to right:
First pic: I take a spoolie and brush my brows. After bath, my brows are always all over the place. Keep it neat for other applications.
Second pic: i take the Covergirl eye maker pencil in midnight brown and fill in my brows and draw along my natural brows.
Third pic: I will then lengthen my brow and make the end darker to create a gradient effect.

Second row, from left to right:
First pic: That is how i shape my brows. I elongate and gave it a shape. Your brows are not twins, they are sisters.
Second pic: I prefer a.lighter brow. It makes my features softer. Therefore i used the Kpalette brow gel in no.02.
Its a ginger colour which when you apply lightly will lighten your brows by a shade.
Third pic: This is how it looks like after applying. My brows are more tamed and somewhat "dyed". The product not only lighten my brows but it helps my brow to stay put throughout the day. No fading, shifting and its waterproof.

Third row, from left to right:
First pic: Then take a synthetic brush and brush off the inner brows so that i can create a gradient
Second pic: Clean the lines with my concealer. This is the most important part as it shapes your eyebrow to define the lines.
And VOUILA! Simple!

It takes practise to achieve the perfect brows. So start playing with your make up!

I am going to squeeze in a- Face of the day too just because I CAN! haha

A successful makeover : The Intern

adorebeauty06 — Mon, 25 Feb 2013 23:35:48 SGT

Meet Joey girls. i have always loved her features on her face. The monolids, the flawless skin, the high cheekbone structure and the full lips. It was perfect. So i went to her and asked her if she wants a makeover. You can see there were sparks in her eyes, full of excitement. So what best ways to make her over on the eve of her birthday.

The sudden change was amazing. See the before and after! Just look at her. To make the look more flirty,I added a purple liner from Urban Decay under her smokey gold eyes to give a pop of colour and applied feathery false lashes. I enhanced her cheekbones with a pink blush and a minor contour since she does not need it at all. She looked stunning.It was a challenge for me because she has monolids. And to be honest it was my first time applying make up on a monolid model. So I used mini blending brushes to produce the look. It was flawless.Heres another before and after look. (above) My mom said, the makeup made her face looked 3-dimensional. So Joey, pick up that blush already!A collage of how her eye make up and overall make up.My kit? I brought only these.

What products did i used on her?

Face:
Revlon Photoready in Nude
Sleek Creme to powder Foundation in Shell as concealer

First FOTD in 2013!- Sunset Beach

adorebeauty06 — Mon, 21 Jan 2013 23:31:50 SGT

I guess you know by now that i dont apply much make up when i head out. But i always ALWAyS take the opportunity to make extra effort when im invited to a wedding. i would like to straight away go to my face of the day post. BUT i wanted to pause it all for awhile and shared that when i was taking out my eyeshadow, and visit my eyeshadow drawer, i found that my NYDC Urban Decay palette, are full of fungus!
Yikes!!!
It was horrid. I threw the most "infected" one away and i scraped off the top layer of all the eyeshadows and spray and sanitized it with alcohol. I felt "so sayang" to throw them all away! I agreed there are shelf lives to make up however my room is just too humid to store them! So the place you store them plays a part too. Keep that in mind!

Hey girls! Tired of always wearing those black eyeliners everyday to work or school? Bling it up once in a while! These are great for us Asian girls because we are always so shy about bright colours packed on our eyelids. These eyeliner trick is great for beginners too! Sit back and relax and enjoy the video!

- Stage Coffee Bean Eyeshadow
- NYX Dramatic Sparkle in crystal jade
- Sephora Turqoise Blue eyeliner
- Bobbi Brown Eyelash Curler
- Benefit They're Real Mascara

Finishing look should look like this. Natural but definitely an attention grabber on the eyes!

For those special occasion, apply those false lashes and VOUILA!!!
I used Red Cherry lashes and I have to say, I am loving them! I NEED MORE!!!!

Thanks for reading and watching girls!

See you soon!

Birthday Surprise- Universal Studio Singapore with Love

adorebeauty06 — Sun, 28 Oct 2012 13:21:37 SGT

On my birthday, while alot of my friends are working for an event, i was busy preparing myself to Universal Studios! I was super elated when Adib told me he wanted to bring me there! So it was an amazing day which i will never forget. I was knew the weather would be hot and humid, therefore i used alot of sunscreen on my face and body, had on my MUFE Duo mat powder, lashes on for photo opportunities and my MAC Pink noveau lipstick. And i am off to go!

We took the express ticket which i would recommend anybody to get it especially when you go on the weekends. Additional $50 makes the world go round! We basically NEVER queued and we prioritized!
Below are some fun shots I took.I had a blast we took the transformer, mummy, human rollercoaster ride, shrek 4D movie, the lost world water ride and more. I especially love the mummy ride. It was crazy when it moved backwards in a split seconds! it was dark and super dramatic! I LOVE IT! haha~ Let me know what ride you love best! So yes it was a great fulfilling day. We were so tired after that but it was all worthwhile. More birthday blogs coming up right after these! So stay tuned! :)

my best part of the day? With my fav cartoon character.

BETTY BOOP!
