Introduction to Clozette Indonesia

As most of you should know by now, I’m quite active on Instagram. If you realized, I’ve been hashtagging a lot of my beauty, skincare, fashion posts using #clozetteid and/or #clozette. If you are curious as to why I’ve been doing this, keep reading!

So, a year ago I started seeing Clozette Indonesia advertisement on Facebook, being a curious person, I decided to click on it and found out that Clozette Indonesia is a large beauty- and fashion-related social network in Indonesia. I decided to sign-up for it, connected my Instagram account to it and started hashtagging my works with #clozetteid.

Fast forward to a few months later, a few of my friends, followers and I started to realize that my tutorials have been popping up on Clozette Indonesia facebook ads. You would know if you follow me on Instagram, because I actually took a few screen shots of those ads and posted it there. Curiosity had gotten me, and I decided to email the staff over at Clozette Indonesia to ask why were my pictures were used. To my surprise, they asked me to become a Clozette Ambassador!

So, I’m certainly looking forward to meet the other ambassadors, and hopefully I can continue to inspire more people through Clozette Indonesia! I was quite surprised to see I’ve increased the number of followers over on Instagram, as well as Clozette’s website just from hashtagging my work with #clozetteid. I know the numbers are still low, but hey, baby steps!

Anyways! I’ve been talking a lot about Clozette Indonesia, and I’m sure you’re curious by now. So let’s get started on the website itself, and what does it do. Like I’ve mentioned previously, Clozette Indonesia is a fashion- and beauty-related social network. It is an online community, where you can share and discover beauty secrets, fashion must-have items and many more! Not to mention, you can find out what’s the latest videos and pictorials to keep your fashion and makeup wardrobe up-to-date.

What I love the most about this website is the hashtagging feature; you can add #clozetteid #clozette on your Instagram description (only works on description, not comments), and it’ll automatically get uploaded to your Virtual Closet in Clozette’s website.

What is Virtual Closet, you ask? See, on Clozette Indonesia’s website, you can categorize your pictures into many “folders” to make everything organized. These “folders” are your Virtual Closet, much like your wardrobe at home. You know how you separate your wardrobes into “dresses”, “pants”, “sweaters”, “shirts” etc? Virtual Closet works like that, except you can make it into anything you want! If you take a look over on Kirei Makeup Virtual Closet (that’s mine), I have several closets such as “Face of the Day”, “Eye of the Day”, “Instagram”, “Recent Purchases – beauty” etc.

So, I’ll try to upload more pictures into my Collection (all of my virtual closets are called Collection), and not just on Instagram. But, as you can see, this is a neat idea, isn’t it? Everything is organized in its own closet! You can add whatever you want – wish list, fashion, look of the day, shoes, etc.

The other feature of Clozette Indonesia that, I think, is pretty cool, is their Store Management So, tell me, do you have a tons of clothes or makeup that you don’t even use anymore, and it’s collecting dust? Or, have you been wanting to start your own fashion/beauty business but don’t know where to start? Well, take a look at their Bazaar! This feature allows you to create your own store, and start selling your own fashion- and/or beauty-related products FOR FREE! All you need to start selling is just 10 items, and you can start making your money!

The other feature, related to shopping again because let’s face it we do love to shop, is Shoppe. What is shoppe? Shoppe is like an online store, but unlike Bazaar, the brands in Shoppe are affiliated with Clozette. Local and international online stores, like Zalora, Dian Pelangi, ASOS, Neimann Marcus etc can be found in Shoppe. So, if you’re like me, definitely check Shoppe out! You can shop many different international and local brands in just 1 website! How convenient!

See, Clozette Indonesia isn’t just about inspiring, and getting inspired. It also enables you to become an entrepreneur, for free! I think this website has so much more potential, and I’m so happy to be able to become a part of Clozette Indonesia.

Have I piqued your interest? Well then, what are you waiting for? Come, sign up over at Clozette Indonesia, and start following me! Comment, like, and I’ll be waiting for you! I hope my pictures can inspire you, and you inspire me!

Psst, if you are not from Indonesia, you can still join us! Just take a look at Clozette website right now!

World Cup 2014 Argentina Inspired Makeup

We are almost at the end of the World Cup 2014. Today I’m going to do Argentina inspired makeup, which consists mainly of light blue and white. I find it difficult to combine this shade with the rest of my makeup. I had to change my lip colors a few times before I was satisfied (and I’m still not that satisfied, btw..). I think I should’ve went with a cooler lip color, instead. Oh well…

Anyways, I actually found a little bit of difficulty when doing the tutorial since I kept coughing (yes, my cough returned…-__-lll). As you can see on the second pic (top middle), the blue shadow smudged a little to the center of the lid, even though I wanted to keep it bare. That’s because when I was doing the inner part, I coughed and the brush slide to the center of my eyelid. So, please if you decide to recreate this look, keep the middle part of the eyelid free of any blue shadow.

For the other World Cup 2014 makeup series, please check my Brazilian Inspired Makeup post and Netherlands Inspired Makeup. For the use of Sleek Makeup iDivine Candy palette, please check my Psychedelic and Very Purple tutorials.

How-to:

1. I applied NYX Jumbo Eyeshadow Pencil in Milk all over the eyelids.

2. Using a flat shader brush, I applied Bubble Gum from Sleek Makeup Candy palette on the outer and inner third of the eyelid, keeping the middle part free of any eyeshadow (see note above)

3. I used whatever was left on the brush on my crease.

4. Using a clean blending brush, I blended my crease so there’s no harsh line.

5. I applied Cream Soda from Sleek Makeup Candy palette in the middle part of my eyelid using a flat eyeshadow brush. I also added Pow from Sleek Makeup Ultra Matte v1 Brights palette on top of Cream Soda.

6. Using a small stiff shader brush, I applied Bubble Gum along the lower lash line.

7. I lined my waterline using Revlon Photoready Kajal eyeliner in Carbon Cleopatra.

8. I created a winged liner along the upper lash line using Kanebo Kate Super Sharp eyeliner.

9. I curled my lashes and applied MUFE Aqua Smoky Lash. I also applied Gwiyomi false eyelashes #3.

10. I filled my brows using Shu Uemura Brow Pencil.

11. I applied MAC Pro Longwear foundation on my face using MAC Masterclass Brush Oval 6.

12. I contoured and highlight my face using Motives Fire sculpt palette.

13. On my cheeks, I applied Benefit Coralista.

14. On my lips, I applied Revlon Colorstay Ultimate Suede Lipstick in Flashing Lights.

Products used:

Eyes – NYX Jumbo Eyeshadow Pencil in Milk; Sleek Makeup iDivine Candy palette (outer and inner eyelid/lower lash line: Bubblegum; center of eyelid: Cream Soda); Sleek Makeup iDivine Ultra Matte V1 Brights (center of eyelid: Pow); Kanebo Super Sharp Eyeliner; Revlon Photoready Kajal eyeliner in Carbon Cleopatra; MUFE Aqua Smoky Lash; Gwiyomi False lashes #3

Face – MAC Pro Longwear foundation; Motives Fire sculpt series palette; Benefit Coralista blush.

Lips – Revlon Flashing Lights colorstay ultimate suede lipstick.

Smoky Eyes with a Neon Eyeliner

Hey ya’ll! I hope everyone is doing great this weekend! I posted this look on Instagram last night, and I almost forgot to upload it today. Anyways, as mentioned on my Instagram account, this smoky eyes with a neon eyeliner look is a recreation from @jenmiamakeup. She’s one of the many great makeup artists who I follow on Instagram. I love how she does hers with a neon yellow. I tried this one with the only neon pigment I owned – MAC Neo-orange loose pigment.

If you are going to recreate this look, I’d suggest using a mixing medium instead of water, like I did. I used water and for some reason the pigment didn’t want to mix smoothly. I ran out of my mixing medium so I have to go get one in the near future. The other issue that I kept having is the fact that my smoky eyes kept creasing. Ugh, I should have used a different eyeshadow base (and probably should have prime my eyelid first). So, I’d suggest for you to use an eyelid primer to avoid creasing.

Anyhow, let’s get the tutorial started!

How-to:

1. Using a light brown eyeshadow (mine was a sample, and it has no brand nor name), I applied this shade just above my crease using a clean blending brush. I used this shade as a transition color, the shade is just slightly darker than my own skin color.

2. Using a deep chocolate brown (again, this was a sample with no brand and no name), I applied this shade right on the crease using a small crease brush.

3. Using the same blending brush as step no. 1, I blended the chocolate shade.

4. I applied Revlon Photoready Kajal eyeliner in Carbon Cleopatra, I applied the black eyeliner all over my eyelid, and waterline.

5. I lightly blended the eyeliner using a synthetic art brush.

6. I applied Kat Von D Monarch palette Deadhead eyeshadow on top of the black base using a flat eyeshadow brush. I also applied this eyeshadow along the lower lash line using a small shader brush.

7. Using the same brush as step no. 1, I blended out the edge of Deadhead so there’s no harsh line.

8. I mixed water and MAC Neo-Orange loose pigment to create the neon winged eyeliner.

9. On my brows, I used Anastasia Brow Wiz in Medium Ash to fill them.

10. On my lashes, I applied Ardell 105 false lashes.

11. On my face, I applied MARC JACOBS gel foundation using CoverFX foundation brush. I concealed using MUFE HD concealer, and set my face using CoverFX translucent powder.

12. I applied Benefit Moon Beam highlighter on the bridge of my nose, cupid’s bow, chin and cheekbones.

13. I lightly contoured my face (sides of the nose, under my cheeks, jawline, and temples) using NARS ITA kabuki brush and MAC Blunt powder.

14. I applied MAC Dainty on my cheeks.

15. For the lips, I applied MAC Spice lip pencil all over.

Lavender Grey using NARSissist Palette

For this week’s tutorial, I decided to use my NARSissist Palette again! I fell in love with this palette all over again. I feel like it’s such a great palette with a more mature color option. For today’s tutorial, I picked out my favorite shades which were in the range of grey, lavender, and violet. I know the picture doesn’t show much of the lavender/violet on the lid, but I assure you it’s such a pretty grey with very subtle hint of lavender/violet in it. If you’re one not to wear color, and prefer a much neutral option, this would be a great addition to your makeup wardrobe.

Oh, just to let you guys know, I have been trying to update my Instagram daily. I’m going to try to do a weekly “Monday Makeup Inspiration”, and regram/repost-ing every look that YOU guys do if you FOLLOW me (@kireimakeup) and add #kireimakeup to your Instagram pictures! I’d love to see your makeup and/or your re-creation of any of my looks!

2. Using a small shader brush, I applied NARS Pandora II on the outer V of my eyelid.

3. I blended my crease by applying NARS Madrague I using a clean blending brush. I used this shade as a transition color.

4. I applied NARS Ashes to Ashes on my entire eyelid using a flat eyeshadow brush. I also added a little bit of NARS Lhasa on top of it.

5. I created a winged liner along my upper lash line using L’oreal Infallible Gel Lacquer 24hr in Blackest Black and an angled eyeliner brush. Using whatever was left on the brush, I ran it along the lower lash line, and waterline.

6. I also used a small shader brush and applied NARS Ashes to Ashes along my lower lid.

7. I filled my brows using Anastasia Brow Wiz in Ash Blonde and Brunette. I cleaned up the edges of my brows using Cover FX G20 cream foundation. If you want to know how I fill my brows, please check my brow tutorial.

8. I curled my lashes and applied Cover Girl Lash Blast mascara. I also applied falsies (Korean’s falsies, not sure what it’s called since the brand is not in English).

9. On my face, I applied Cover FX Cream Foundation in G40 using MAC Masterclass Brush Oval 6.

10. I lightly applied highlight and contour using CoverFX cream foundations in G20 & N110. Check out my BACON post to find out how I used CoverFX to do my highlight and contour.

Simple Makeup using Smashbox Full Exposure Palette

Today I wanted to share this oh-so simple makeup look. This is the look that I wore last night for a friend’s birthday dinner (check my instagram), and seemed to be wearing it almost quite often lately. The makeup itself is very easy, perfect for beginners if you want to do something different with your look. I think the only tricky part of this look is the eyeliner, but you can skip the winged eyeliner if you prefer. This is a very basic eyeshadow application technique, and you can obviously change the colors of the eyeshadow to whatever you like.

I’ve done something very similar to this look in my other Smashbox Full Exposure tutorial, but that one is more dramatic (with falsies and more liner, and slightly more smoky). If you prefer a smokier look, I’ve done 2 tutorials using this palette right here and here. I’ve also done swatches and a Smashbox Full Exposure palette review.

Scroll all the way down for complete product list.

How-to:

1. I prepped my lid using Urban Decay Primer Potion in Sin.

2. Using a Sephora bullet crease brush, I applied M1 on the outer V of my eyelid, blending the color to my crease.

3. Using a clean bullet crease brush, I applied M7 on just the outer part of the eye.

4. Using a clean Smashbox fluffy blending brush (from the palette itself), I applied a mixture of M2 and M3 on the crease (the picture doesn’t seem to catch those colors since it’s very close to my skin color).

5. Using the flat-end of the Smashbox brush, I applied S3 on my eyelid.

6. Using a small shader brush, I applied M7 on the outer half of my lower lid.

7. I created a winged eyeliner using Kanebo Kate Super Sharp eyeliner.

8. I curled my lashes and applied Cover Girl Lash Blast mascara.

9. I filled my brows using Anastasia Duo Brow Powder in Brunette.

10. For my face, I applied Urban Decay Naked Skin foundation using a damped sponge.

11. I applied Smashbox contour powder (from the contour/highlight trio kit) under my cheeks.

12. I applied MAC Dainty on my cheeks.

13. For the lips, I applied MAC Please Me lipstick and a little bit of lip balm.

Product used

Eyes – Urban Decay Primer Potion Sin; Smashbox Full Exposure palette; Kanebo Kate Super Sharp eyeliner; Cover Girl lash blast mascara; Anastasia Duo Brow Powder

Face – Urban Decay Naked Skin foundation; Smashbox trio contour kit; MAC Dainty blush

Lips – MAC Please Me lipstick; L’occitane lip balm

Soft Rose Smokey Eyes tutorial using UD Naked 3

Here I am with a new Soft Rose Smoky Eyes tutorial using UD Naked 3 (again)! I do apologize for missing for almost a week without any tutorials. I’ve been having some difficulties with the internet at home. However, if you do follow me on Twitter or Instagram, you’d have gotten a little bit of update here and there every day.

In another news, I was very excited to find out that Urban Decay has used one of my pictures that I did on their email newsletter! I’m not sure if you guys subscribe to their mailing list, but I was so surprised to see my face on it. It’s small, but I’m so happy! If you want to recreate that look, please take a look at my Rose Smoky III tutorial.

Don’t forget to check out my other UD Naked 3 tutorials (pictorials and video)!

So, for today’s tutorial, I wanted to use my Urban Decay Naked 3 again to create a much softer rosy smoky eyes, something that most people can recreate and do it on themselves.
