MAC Viva Glam 1 Look #1

My friend, Elfa, and I went to Tex Saverio Trunk Show last week (photos on instagram). I did Elfa’s makeup, she wanted smoky eyes with red lips, and I actually loved how she looked. So, today I decided to recreate the makeup she wore, but twist it to suit me. I also wanted to use my the Original Viva Glam lipstick (MAC Viva Glam 1), so that look was perfect!

For the eyes, I decided to use my Sleek Makeup iDivine Storm palette since I wanted to do a warmer, coppery smoky eyes. I really seem to like a warmer, redder shades lately. Anyways, if you’re in Southeast Asia and want to purchase Sleek Makeup, you can do so with Luxola. Since this palette doesn’t have the names of each eyeshadow, I decided to number them for this post.

How-to:

1. I applied no. 1 on the center of my eyelid using a flat eyeshadow brush.

2. Using the same flat eyeshadow brush, I applied no. 2 all over the eyelid.

3. Using a fluffy blending brush, I blended out the edge all the way to above the crease using shade no. 3

4. I applied  no. 4 just on the outer V using a small crease brush.

5. Using a clean blending brush, I applied shade no. 5 under the brows.

6. I applied shade no. 2 along the lower lash line, and no. 6 just on the outer half using a small shader brush.

7. I lined my upper lash line using Kanebo Kate Super Sharp eyeliner, and on the waterline I used L’oreal Voluminous Smoldering eyeliner.

8. I applied a golden eyeshadow (above shade no. 3 – I forgot to add it) just on the inner corner of the eyes.

9. I filled my brows using Anastasia Brow Wiz in Medium Ash and Brunette. Also added Gwiyomi false eyelashes no. 18.

Red Invasion [Collaboration]

Lately, my Twitter has been flooded with chats between several Indonesian Beauty Bloggers and myself. These bloggers are: Yonna Kairupan, Iva Asih Era Chrysta, Lauren Renturquise, Sha Aullia, and Riyanti Teressa. So, we decided to do a little collaboration and we wanted to paint the town red 😉 By town, I mean the Indonesian Beauty Bloggers Facebook page.

Anyhow, we decided to do red lips look, and Yonna had posted hers on her youtube page. I decided to post mine next and the obvious choice for me was to use MAC Russian Red (again). I can never get tired of MAC Russian Red, it’s just so gorgeous! It’s definitely my favorite.

For the eyes, I think I wanted to pack more punch on it, so I did a slightly more smoky look than the other tutorial in MAC Russian Red post. I also added a set of false eyelashes on me lashes, since I bought a new one. I don’t love the falsies, but I don’t mind it. Not long enough and not thick enough. Oh well! I also used my new Sleek Makeup iDivine Storm palette, but there’s no name for each shade for this palette. So, I named the shades on the tutorial below based on the hue of each eyeshadow. If you’re confused, just leave the question below 🙂

How-to:

1. I applied MUFE Aqua Shadow in 28E all over the lid.

2. Using a clean fluffy brush, I applied the matte light brown from Sleek Makeup iDivine Storm palette.

3. Using another clean fluffy brush, I applied matte dark brown from Sleek Makeup iDivine Storm palette.

4. I applied the champagne shade from Sleek Makeup iDivine Storm palette on top of the MUFE Aqua Shadow 28E with a flat eyeshadow brush.

5. Using another blending brush, I applied black from Sleek Makeup iDivine Storm palette.

6. I applied both champagne (inner corner) and black (outer corner) from Sleek Makeup iDivine Storm palette on the lower lid using an angled brow brush.

7. Using Kanebo Kate Super Sharp eyeliner, I created a feline flick/cat-eye liner/winged liner on the upper lash line.

8. I curled my lashes and applied Maybelline Volume Express Turbo Boost mascara on both top and bottom lashes.

9. I lined the outer half of my waterline using L’oreal Voluminous Smoldering eyeliner.

10. I applied DUP eyelashes in 906 on the top lashes.

11. For the brows, I applied MUFE Aqua Brow Gel.

12. On my face, I applied Urban Decay Naked Skin foundation.

13. I applied MUFE HD concealer to cover my blemishes and under eye circles.

14. I powdered my face using Cinema Secret loose powder.

15. I contoured my face using NARS Kabuki Ita brush and MAC Shadowy powder.

16. I applied MAC Fleur Power on my cheeks.

17. I lined and filled my entire lips with MAC Redd lip liner.

18. I, then, applied MAC Russian Red on my lips.
