Another tutorial for you, ladies.

Yes, it's okay to wear eye makeup everyday especially if your profession requires you to do so. I, myself, don't recommend it. It could be tiring to keep removing them at night and it's important to let your skin breathe once in awhile. But the point of this tutorial is to help you out on how to make it easy for you to do eye makeup on yourselves without fear you'll take too much time or you'll look like a clown. :)

What you'll need:

1. Brown eye shadow (preferably one that is two shades darker than your skintone). It should be imitate how shadow rest on your eyes.

2. Beige eye shadow (shimmer or matte will do), it should be a shade lighter than your skin tone to brighten your eyes.

3. White shimmer eyeshadow (to lighten the inner corner of your eyes)

4. Eye liner (eye pencil, liquid or gel, any will do)

5. Eye Curler

6. Mascara

Step 1: Apply brown eye shadow to deepen the crease.

Step 2: Apply the beige eyeshadow on to lids.
Step 3: Brighten the eyes with white shimmering eye shadow on the inner corners of the eyes.
Step 4: With the dark eye shadow, apply it on the lower lash line.
Step 5: Apply the liquid liner as thin as possible and as close to the lower lash line for a natural look.
Step 6: Curl lashes as usual
Step 7: Apply highlight shade to the brow (you can use your beige eyeshadow or mix it with the white shimmering shadow)/
Step 8: Enhance water line with an eye pencil
Step 9: Coat both upper and lower lashes with mascara to lengthen and volumize it.

And you're done! :)

This is a flattering look that will take you from day to night and you just have to change your lipstick.

It will take time to do this in just few minutes, but with practice I assume that you'll get better and better that you'll hardly feel yourself exerting any effort at all. :)

Remember that makeup is all about creating illusions. Giving your face an added boost so you'll feel more confident.

Products I used:

Beauty Pro Cosmetics Sweet & Smokey Palette

K Palette 24h Real Lasting Tattoo Eyeliner

The Body Shop Lash Curler

Bobbi Brown Long Wear Eye Pencil

Bobbi Brown Intensifying Long-Wear Mascara

Tips:
1. Easily determine the eye's crease by gently placing the pad of your ring fingers and feel the space between your eyeballs and your brow bones. Place the darker shadow there. Spread with a crease blending brush if needed.

2. Start with darker shadow first before placing the lighter ones to not overshadow it.

3. Curl lashes to prep it better for mascara.

4. Apply mascara on your lower lashes to open up the eyes.

I hope this tutorial helps you out and encourages you to try this look! :)

Z Palette

Available at The Makeup Suite

Php 500 to 900

The Dilemma: Too many eyeshadows, nowhere to store them.

I've had this dilemma for awhile now. I've seen a lot of youtube videos on how to create your own palette and I've tried making them, I currently have 2 under my vanity station but they don't look good. CD cases, cardboard boxes, tin cans didn't cut it for me. Aesthetically, it didn't want me to take the palette and try it out. And there it went, still left unused eyeshadows.

Who can blame me, right? I've got some amazing eyeshadow palettes ready to use like my Urban Decays, Beauty Pro Cosmetics and Dollface.

Wen I looked inside one of my drawers, I was surprised how neglected some of my eye shadows are, I have a few from The Body Shop that I really really like that I'm not utilizing. I even got compact powder sitting inside their refill packaging. So sad. :(

My thanks to The Makeup Suite for sending a Z Palette Pro Case my way, I've given life back to some of my amazing shadows and blushers.

The answer: A magnetic palette that can house your palettes.

Not just a ratty makeshift palette. I have here something that can withstand a a makeup gig, travel and frequent use. Z

Z Palette is make of quality materials and looks professional and posh. It has a magnetic bottom that your shadow pans can adhere to quickly.

It's ideal for makeup artist, girls with OCD and makeup addicts alike. That's like me ! Lol

Pots and magnets comes with the Pro Palette.

The magentic stickers can be used for some palette that are panned in a non-magnetic tins. I have a few like that and these stickers really came in handy.

I haven't gotten around to using the pots just yet but I plan on pressing lipsticks and multipurpose mineral makeup in there. :)

These makeup used to reside in the dark drawers of my makeup station, unused! (Oh the injustice!)

FREEDOM!! :) and organization!

Z Palette + depotted makeup products = like a brand new makeup palette!

You got to love the see through palette that allows us to see the products immediately.

It folds in the back so it takes less space when using it. And look, the palette holds the products well. Unless you shake it really really hard and tap it like Hulk Hogan, the products won't fall down. :)

Logo and such at the back.

Dilemma solved!

For Php900 (Z Palette Pro), I've organized some of my favorite makeup products that's been kept too long inside my drawer and gave it a new home. :)

I definitely recommend this to everyone who has trouble organizing their makeup products.
