Kat Von D Monarch Palette Tutorial #2

I kept forgetting how amazing this palette is, so I decided to remind myself and created this Monarch palette tutorial. Like I said on my first tutorial using this palette, the eyeshadows are unbelievably smooth and so easily blended. Love it! I promise I’ll do swatches and review for this palette. If you have the chance to grab it, you should really consider it.

Anyways, I’m quite busy this week, as well as the whole September due to work. I think I’ll try to post twice a week, hopefully more. If you do follow me on Instagram, I’ll do micro-blogging from there. Also, don’t forget to comment here or on my twitter/instagram on what you’d like to see more. I know I still have to do a few requests, and I’ll try to get on it ASAP. What a busy month!

Ok, let’s get the tutorial started! I just want to mention that for some reason my camera picks up Wrath really orange this time round. Not sure why, I did reverted back to my glamcor lights, so that might be the cause. Trust me, it doesn’t look that orange in real life. It’s a very pretty warm reddish-brown, almost like a brick color.

I prepped my eyelids using Urban Decay Primer Potion.

How-to:

1. Using a fluffy blending brush, I applied Wrath on the outer V and just above the crease.

2. Using a clean blending brush, I blended out the crease.

3. I applied Shadow Box on the outer V, inner V, and crease of my eyelid using a bullet crease brush.

4. Using a flat eyeshadow brush, I applied MAC Tan loose pigment on the center of my eyelid.

5. I applied Urban Decay Jilted eyeshadow (from the electric palette) along my lower lash line using an angled eyeliner brush, then I applied Urban on top of it using a pencil brush.

6. I lined my waterline using L’oreal Voluminous Smoldering eyeliner.

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

8. I filled my brows using Anastasia Brow Wiz in Medium Ash.

9. I applied MUFE Aqua Smoky lash mascara on top and bottom lashes. Also applied Lavie Lash falsies in Snowdrop.

10. On my face, I applied Diorskin Star foundation using a foundation brush.

11. I also applied MUFE HD concealer under my eyes.

12. I wanted an extra glow on my skin, so I applied Smashbox Halo Highlighting wand. I applied this highlighter on the high points of my face – cheekbones, bridge of the nose, cupid’s bow, chin, forehead.

13. I lightly dust Cover FX translucent powder to set everything.

14. I applied contour very lightly on my face using Smashbox Contour Kit (they’re selling it again for a limited quantity on their website!).

15. On my lips, I applied MAC Spice lip liner all over, and then applied Clinique Heaping Hazelnut chubby lip stick.

Urban Decay Electric Makeup Look #2

Another look using Urban Decay Electric palette! I will do a review and swatch the shades this week, promise! I was just playing with the colors for today’s look, and decided to post this tutorial up. I was expecting the orange shade, Slow Burn, to be a little bit lighter. However, it turned up to be quite dark, and has a lot more red in it. I think this color combo – green and orange, is a little bit different than I expected, but looks good nevertheless. I just love how easy it is to blend the shadows.

Fun and Colorful Makeup using Urban Decay Electric

Hello, Jakarta! I’m home!!! How is everyone doing? Finally I’m able to post a new tutorial! Today’s tutorial is a fun, colorful, bright look using the new Urban Decay Electric palette! I bought this palette when I was in Toronto just last week, and I couldn’t wait to give it a try. Anyways, I’ll try to do a review of this palette next week.

Anyhooow, I just recently changed my camera to the Canon SL1, so I’m still trying to adjust the setting of the camera, and not to mention the way I take my selfie. So, if I do look awkward in the portrait photo, I do apologize. Not to mention, I’m not too happy with my haircut (my fringe especially), and have yet to go to my hairstylist here to get it fixed! If you are interested in the whole hair story please check my Instagram!
