Maison Kitsune for Shu Uemura Smoky Eyes

Another look using Maison Kitsune for Shu Uemura Indigo eye/cheek palette! This time, I really wanted to showcase the gorgeous blue eyeshadow fron the palette, so I created this blue smoky eyes look! This look is super easy to recreate, and it’s a really fresh take on a non-black smoky eyes.The only product that is black is my mascara, even my eyeliner is blue (surprise, surprise..lol).

We’ve all seen black smoky eyes, brown smoky eyes, grey smoky eyes, well why not an all blue smoky eyes? This blue smoky eyes will bring out those with brown, or green, or grey eyes! I love how the blue shadow from the palette looks almost jewel like. It’s not too dark, yet still have a rich deep blue hue.

For the lashes, I decided to apply the Maison Kitsune Jewel-Fur-for-a Wink falsies since I thought it was going to add a bit of fun to the whole look. Very extravagant, perfect for Holiday party makeup! Of course, you can skip this special falsies and wear the regular ones, but I think this falsies are amazing! Also, if you want to know what else I’ve bought from this collection, check out my Instagram account!

Shu Uemura Maison Kitsune Indigo Palette

Now that Halloween is over, it’s time for the Holiday looks! I recently bought Shu Uemura Maison Kitsue Indigo palette, which is part of Shu Uemura’s 2015 Holiday collection, and this palette shall opens my Holiday looks for 2015! I bought several other products from the collection, but for today I’ll only use the palette. The Shu Uemura Maison Kitsune Holiday 2015 Collection consists of amazing products, and you guys should really check it out! The palettes are limited edition, so grab them before they’re sold out!

For today’s look, I decided to do a cat-eye smoky look. This look is great for monolids or hooded lids. If you have hooded lids, open your eyes when you’re applying the outer V shade (the Indigo). You need to apply this shade just slightly above the hooded part so that when your eyes are open, you can still see the color.

UD Naked Smoky “Brown Smoky Eyes”

HAPPY  (Canadian) THANKSGIVING! I promised one last post before the end of the week and here we go! I wanted to use my UD Naked Smoky palette again, since I felt that I haven’t used it enough. I created a matte brown smoky eyes look, which is simple and easy. A brown smoky eyes is softer than black, and it’s also easier for beginners. So, if you haven’t try a brown smoky eyes yet, you should! Skip the falsies and winged liner for a more casual look.

ABH Shadow Couture World Traveler Tutorial #1

Today ABH Shadow Couture World Traveler tutorial is a great look for party makeup. It’s very shimmery and warm, perfect for Fall. Anyways, I finally have the chance to get my hands on one of the Anastasia Beverly Hills (ABH) eyeshadow palettes. I wanted to know if it lives up to its hype, and it does! So smooth and pigmented, now I understand why lots of youtube and insta-beauty gurus love ABH shadows.

For this look, the focus is all in the eyes. Even though the eyes aren’t too dark, I still prefer to keep everything else on the down low since the eyelids are very shimmery. Nevertheless, feel free to add a different lip colour if you prefer, a nice classic red (e.g. MAC Russian Red), or a berry-red (e.g. MAC D for Danger), or a deep dark red (e.g. MAC Diva).

For this tutorial, I’m using several brushes and tools from Tweezerman, sent to me by Preen.me as part of their PreenMeVIP program. The brushes and tools featured are – blender brush, shader brush, line glider brush, ProCurl eyelash curler.

UD Naked Smoky & KVD Lolita

Today, I’m creating a light daytime look using UD Naked Smoky, and I’m pairing it with my new KVD Lolita liquid lipstick. The eyes are very light and simple, and obviously you can skip the false lashes altogether if you’re going to wear it as a daytime makeup.

The lips are quite different than what I’m usually used to. I usually like to pair a peachy or corally lips with this kind of eye look. However, I stepped out of my comfort zone, and decided to pair this with KVD Lolita liquid lipstick, which is a mauve color. I have had mauve lipstick before, but this KVD Lolita is slightly darker than what I’m used to. I didn’t mind it, I think it’s still a very pretty color. Just a word of warning, this liquid lipstick will dry to a darker shade than what you see on the tube.

For other looks using UD Naked Smoky palette please check out my other posts – “Iconic UD Smoky“, “MAC D for Danger“, “Grey“, and lastly my review on this palette “UD Naked Smoky Review“.

UD Vice 3 – Joker Inspired Look

I’ve been realizing that lately most of my tutorials used neutral, earthy colors. Today, I decided to use some colors, so I pulled out my UD Vice 3 palette, and here we are! For some reason, I thought of “Joker”, probably because I’ve been bombarded with Suicide Squad news on my fb feeds. So, I combined purple and green to make a wearable Joker inspired look.

Again, I’m featuring Tweezerman tools today. I just want to point out the Tweezerman ProMaster eyelash curler that I used for this look is pretty great for those who have almond/deep-set eyes, or those with monolids. For more info regarding this curler, please check out my Instagram, I posted a picture and some info over there. I also posted a video on Instagram on how I used ABH brow pomade and Tweezerman Brow brush to fill my brows.

Tweezerman Brush IQ Tutorial

Today’s Tweezerman Brush IQ tutorial feature the makeup brushes that were given to me as part of the PreenMe VIP program. Earlier this week I received the Tweezerman goodies (picture on Instagram), and today I’ve decided to do an easy Bronze smoky eyes look using mostly those brushes. A big THANK YOU to Preen.me for sending me the Tweezerman products!

The Tweezerman brushes that are featured on today’s tutorial are “blender brush”, “shader brush”. “liner glider”, and “brow brush“. I’ve also used the “Pro-Curl lash curler ” and “no-mess mascara guard“, but it was used off camera. I’ll try to post a short Instagram video on how-to use the curler and mascara guard next time! So, don’t forget to follow me on Instagram!

Just a quick note on these brushes, they are amazing! I’m saying it not because I received it for free, but truly these brushes are on the best synthetic brushes I’ve ever used. The shader brush is very sturdy and really great for packing on the color on the eyelid. The liner glider brush is awesome in creating a soft diffused liner look. I’ll talk more about the brushes when I have the chance to review them. Until then, you’ll see these brushes popping on my tutorials!

Navy Blue Smoky Eyes

I’ve been going pretty neutrals with my tutorials lately, and I wanted to do colors. I don’t have my bright palettes with me since I left it back in Jakarta, so I decided to utilize what I have here in Canada. I decided to do a very rich Navy Blue smoky eyes tutorial, since I think it’s a really pretty color to do.

I used layers of eyeshadows to make sure everything is blended well. 2 blue eyeshadows are used on this tutorial to allow for the blue to pop even more. This look would look great on brown eyes, green eyes, and gray eyes.

You can skip the winged liner, I just added it as an extra. It’s just something I’m used to do. You can definitely opt out the winged liner.
