Chanel Kaska Beige re-visited

Hello, everyone! It’s been a while since my last post. I do apologize for the lack of post. Things have been going really crazy in my personal life, and I can barely catch my breath. Anyways, let’s put those things aside, and get back to this whole blogging things back on track!

Today’s tutorial used one of my all-time favorite palette from Chanel, called Kaska Beige. I’ve actually used this palette before in my Chanel Kaska Beige tutorial. This tutorial has a little bit more of a smokier feel than the older post, however still wearable for party, wedding, prom, night-out, pageant etc.

I also added a white eyeliner on the tightline to make my eyes look bigger, and heavier lashes for a doll-eye look. I applied more blush on the cheeks, just to complete the whole “doll” look. I love to add extra pinch of blush esp. in the winter when the colors are grey, and my skin feels blaaaah.

Oh, I also used the new MAC Masterclass Brush Oval 6 on my face, and I’ve to say I love it! I’ll post a review later.

L’oreal Paris Good Luck Charm

Sprained neck is no fun! I could barely move for several days and my shoulder was so sore. Anyways, to cheer myself and put me out of misery I decided to go grab a makeup product (bahahahaha). I bought myself a Maybelline Colour Tattoo in Inked in Pink. I love it!

As you guys know, I received this L’oreal Paris Good Luck Charm eyeshadow from the L’oreal Paris Canada event’s goodie bag. As mentioned, I felt that the pink shadow doesn’t really show up on my skin-tone, so I decided to layer the Maybelline Colour Tattoo Think in Pink underneath L’oreal Good Luck Charm.

I’m usually quite wary about pink eyeshadow since it can make one look sickly, but the gold in the shadow quad makes it workable, usable and wearable.

How-to:

1. I applied Maybelline Inked in Pink all over the eyelid using my ring finger.

2. Using a flat eyeshadow brush, I applied the pink eyeshadow from L’oreal Good Luck Charm quad.

3. Using a blending brush, I applied the light brown eyeshadow from L’oreal Good Luck Charm quad on the crease.

4. Using a small shader brush, I applied the darkest brown eyeshadow from Good Luck Charm quad on the outer corner and on the crease.

5. Using a clean blending brush, I blended the brown eyeshadow to the light brown eyeshadow.

6. Using a clean flat eyeshadow brush, I applied the highlighter color from the quad under my brows.

7. I filled my brows using Anastasia Brow Wiz in Brunette, curled my lashes and applied mascara.

8. For the face, I applied Urban Decay Naked foundation all over my face using a foundation brush.

9. For the cheeks, I applied L’oreal Rose Gold blush using a clean foundation brush.

10. For the lips, I applied L’oreal Colour Riche Caresse Shine Stain Lipcolour in Extremely Nude.

Fresh Look – Makeup for School, Work or your First Date

Today’s tutorial is, again, showing you the use of neutral colours for a fresh and simple look. This look is intended for anyone who just wants a little bit of colour and to make themselves look a little bit more fresher. If you’re on your first date (or many other dates), and you’re not sure what type of makeup you should put on, try this look. It’s not too much, yet still adds colours to your face.

I hope you enjoy this tutorial as much as I do. I just love how this makeup is fast, simple, easy and you still look effortless.

How-to:

1. I applied Giorgio Armani Silk foundation all over my face with a damped sponge.

2. I applied concealer under my eyes with the same damped sponge.

3. I filled my eyebrows with Anastasia Brow Wiz lightly.

4. I applied MAC Sweet Satisfaction pro longwear eyeshadow all over my lid. You can apply any eyeshadow that matches your skin colour.

5. Then, using a pencil brush, I applied Lancome Volcano eyeshadow on the upper lashline. You can make this as thick as you want or as thin as you want.

6. Using a clean blending brush, I blended the edge of where the 2 eyeshadows meet.

7. I applied Physicians Formula eyeliner in black along my upper lashes.

8. I applied MAC Sweet Satisfaction (inner) and Lancome Volcano (outer) on my lower lid.

9. I curled my lashes and applied Benefit Bad Gal mascara. Just a light coat will do.

10. I applied Benefit Coralista on my cheeks and completed the look by applying Gosh Nougat Lipstick.

ps: if you have an oily t-zone, don’t forget to apply powder and tapped it on your t-zone area to remove excess oil.
