A Hint of Emerald

Hello everyone! If you guys follow my Instagram, you’d know that I’ve just recently purchased another aqua cream last weekend. I just bought no. 22 to be added into my collection (which is shown as a little twist in the tutorial below). Just to let you know, MUFE Indonesia has just increased the price of their aqua creams to Rp. 300,000/each. Also, if you purchase anything from them this week for anything above Rp. 1,300,000 you’ll receive a free pouch along with a few goodies inside. I think this promo will only last until they finish their stock. So go to the nearest MUFE Indonesia stores and check them out if you’re interested.

Anyways, just a brief story about this tutorial. I wanted to use my Sariayu Petikan Sitar eyeshadow since I bought it quite a while back at Carrefour. Similar to my Sariayu K. Karimunjawa trio eyeshadow, this one is very pigmented and easily blendable as well.

How-to:

1. I applied the brown eyeshadow from Sariayu Petikan Sitar on the outer corner of the lid using a flat eyeshadow brush.

2. Using another clean eyeshadow brush, I applied the orange shadow from Sariayu Petikan Sitar in the center.

3. I used a clean blending brush to blend the edge where the 2 shadows meet, and also the crease.

4. Using a flat eyeshadow brush, I applied the champagne shadow from Sariayu Petikan Sita on the inner corner of the lid.

5. Using an angled eyeliner brush, I applied the brown eyeshadow along the lower lashline.

6. I lined my waterline using MUFE Aqua Cream no. 22 and an angled eyeliner brush.

7. For the upper lashline, I applied L’oreal Voluminous Smoldering eyeliner.

8. I curled my lashes and applied MUFE Smoky Lash mascara on both top and bottom lashes.

9. I filled my brows in using MUFE Brow Gel and angled eyebrow brush.

10. Under the eyebrow, I applied L’oreal Super Blendable concealer crayon in W1/2 and blended it out using my finger.

11. I applied Estee Lauder Double Wear Light foundation on my face using my fingers.

12. On the cheeks, I applied MAC Peaches blush.

13. I contoured the side of my nose using MAC Shadowy contour powder.

14. On the lips, I applied Becca Beach Tint in Dragonfruit.

Product of the Week: Sariayu K. Karimunjawa

This week in Product of the Week installment, I’m presenting another Sariayu eyeshadows! I’m loving this Indonesian makeup brand so much. It’s affordable, pigmented and widely available. Martha Tilaar’s other brand, which is P.A.C is actually designed for makeup artist, but I find that Sariayu (also by Martha Tilaar) has the same quality as P.A.C eyeshadows. I also love the fact that Sariayu products are not tested animals!

Anyways, let’s talk about this trio palette! This palette is called K. Karimunjawa, and it’s one of the latest products from Sariayu latest collection – Sariayu Trend Warna 2013 Pesisir Sentrajava. I bought mine in a Martha Tilaar store in the malls for IDR Rp. 45,000 (about USD $4.50). If I’m not wrong, when I went to Carrefour on the weekend, they were selling this at IDR Rp. 38,500.

The inspiration of the Karimunjawa palette comes from the Northern coast of Central Java, whereby there’s 27 little islands of Karimunjawa with the brightest ocean. Karimunjawa is a great home of the beautiful coral reefs. A place for almost 400 oceanic species, including 242 ornamental fishes that live there. As a National Park, Karimunjawa has developed and becomes a Marine Park attraction for both local and international tourists (Martha Tilaar Group, 2013).

The colors are amazingly pigmented, and easily blendable. All the colors have shimmers in them, but I do find that the yellow isn’t as shimmery as the green or the purple. The purple might look dark in pictures, but it’s not that dark when you apply it to the skin. The consistency is very buttery. I find it very easy to blend the colors without having to lose the intensity.

I’ve done a tutorial using this palette in my Northern Lights post. I’ve received a lot of compliments on that look. A lot of people seems to like the yellow eyeshadow since it pops out a lot in pictures.

In general, the color combination works and I think this is an awesome palette, especially for the price that I bought it at.

Of course, there’s more than just this shadow from Sariayu trend warna 2013. With the Karimunjawa line, they also carried 2 lip products and a Glow Powder which I did not buy. On their website, they also show the 3 different ways to wear the Karimunjawa trio shadow palette, so do check them out!

Will I buy this product again? Most definitely! I love all 3 colors and for that price, of course I’ll buy it again. I give this palette 5 winks out of 5! I have yet to find something that I don’t like from it. I love love love love it!

Northern Lights

Today’s look was inspired by a photography of the Nothern Lights by Phillipe Moussette. The colors in the photo were so beautiful and breathtaking. Also, since I just bought a new palette, I wanted to try the colors from that palette, so the green isn’t exactly the same as the green in the inspiration photo.

I love how this look turned out. Make sure you keep 2-3 blending brush handy!

How-to:

1. I applied the green shadow from Sariayu K Karimunjawa palette on my eyelid, leaving out just a tiny bit of area on the outer corner.

2. Using a flat eyeshadow brush, I applied the purple shadow from Sariayu K. Karimunjawa palette on the outer corner and on the crease.

3. Using a blending brush, I blended the purple so there’s no harsh line.

4. Using a small shader brush, I applied MAC Black Tied on the crease only.

5. Using a blending brush, I blended the black so it disappeared into the purple.

6. I also applied the yellow shadow from the Sariayu K. Karimunjawa palette on the inner corner of the eyelid using a pencil brush. I blended the color up reaching the bottom of my brows.

7. Using an angled eyeliner brush, I applied Lancome All Made Up eyeshadow on the lower lid. I also run the purple shadow that I used on the crease on the outer corner of the lower lid, on top of the blue shadow.

8. I lined my waterline and tightline using Annabelle kohl pencil liner in black.

9. I lined my upper lashline using Bobbi Brown Gel liner in Caviar Ink and made a winged liner.

10. Curled my lashes and applied L’oreal Voluminous Carbon Black mascara on both upper and lower lashes. I filled in my brows using a mixture of MAC Omega and MAC Brun.

11. For the face, I applied Giorgio Armani Silk foundation using Shiseido foundation brush.

12. On the cheeks, I applied contour using MAC Blunt, and I applied MAC Cubis on the cheeks as blush.

13. I also contoured my nose using MAC Blunt.

14. For the lips, I applied Lancome Absolu Nu in 201.

Product of The Week – Sariayu Eyeshadow Palette

This week I’m proud to present a local Indonesian brand as my Product of the Week. Being in Indonesia, I’ve find it to be quite a challenge to find high quality makeup products that are affordable. Most of the products sold here are either high-end brand which cost double the Canadian price, or Asian brands that don’t really have a good pigment pay-off.

I scoured high and low for a local brand, and found one which is very well-known in Indonesia is Martha Tilaar. Martha Tilaar is an Indonesian business-woman who started off her career in the cosmetics and “jamu” (herbs) industries under the name Sariayu. She started her career and business since 1977. The name Martha Tilaar is like equivalent to Estee Lauder here in Indonesia.

Last year, when I was just window shopping in one of the malls in Jakarta, I stepped inside a store and found this beautiful 25 eyeshadow palette by Sariayu. I ~~bought it for Rp.500,000-ish (about USD$50)~~ You can buy this palette for Rp. 175,000 – Rp. 200,000 (usd$20) instead of the 500k…the Rp. 500,000 is for the PAC cream eyeshadow palette! My mistake on my note. I bought both palettes on the same time, and I’ve made a wrong note on the price. So sorry! 🙁

The pigments are creamy, smooth and easily blendable. In this 25-eyeshadow palette, you get 2 cream-based eyeshadow (silver and bronze) and 23 amazing eyeshadows. The eyeshadows are shimmery and very pigmented.

I’ve used this palette for a tutorial called Bright and Bold. You can use it dry and wet.

The palette also comes with 2 eyeshadow applicators. One side to apply eyeshadow (sponge-tip) and the other side to blend. If I’m not mistaken, you can buy these shadows individually in a bigger pot, or you can buy just the individual refills (kinda like M.A.C eyeshadows).

Swatches below are from Top to Bottom (left to right).
