Over The Rainbow

when boredom hits... 


* I pretty much messed up on the BLACK dots? i was suppose to draw something like loepard prints but i screwed up :|




Since I love colorful stuffs i decided to make something like this :) 


What I used : 

 NYX Carribean Shadow Palette
MAC Browgel in Beguile
MAC pro longwear lipcream in Overtime
Benefits Sugarbomb blush
Shu uemura eye liner pen
Dior Show Mascara 


Use a yellow shadow and apply it on the inner corner of the eyes, followed by a green shadow, blue and purple working your way on the outer corner of the eyes. 
Then BLEND to even out the color and make it appear like a rainbow. 
*add some false lashes too.

Close up look


I was not satisfied with the plain colorful eyes so i decided to use my Black liner pen to draw something on the outer corner of my eye. I didn't really like how it looked after. :| here it is...

According to http://www.faqs.org/, makeupgeek.com and a lot more websites, MAC ANGEL is Rank # 1 best selling lisptick shade from MAC. its really hard to find this shade in MAC stores because its always sold out, im so happy that I had the chance to grab this awesome lipstick!

It's my perfect "barbie" pink which works for all skin tones from fair to dark-skinned ladies.  It also has an impressive lasting power and I am sure that you will get your money's worth when you use this product.

Look like a Korean 101





So today ill be showing how koreans do their make ups, hair etc..

Korean Look : 

Face : Foundation which is one shade lighter than their skin tone to look really white and glowing. 

Eyes : Shimmer shadow, Black Eye liner on the eyelids and on the lash line, white liner on the lower waterline, False lashes on the upper and lower lash line. 

Cheeks : Very light pinkish shade on the apples of the cheeks. 

Lips :  baby pink to nude shades of lipstick plus gloss.

Hair : Soft Curls 


So here are the steps : 

FACE :

* remember one shade lighter than the skin tone then loose powder to set it. 

EYES : 


1. Koreans love love love Shimmer shadows. Shimmer shadows brightens the eyes specially when placed on the inner corner of the eye. 

2. Place a black liner on the upper lid of the eyes to add shape and widen the eyes.

3. Dont forget to put black liner on the water line of the eyes 

4. Use a white liner on the lower water line to define the eyes and make an illusion that the white part of the eye is getting bigger.


5. false lashes on the upper lash line. 

6. false lashes on the lower lash line. (yes on the lower lash line!) 

7. for bigger brighter eyeballs add some contacts. 


CHEEKS : 



* Brush a very light pink shade on the apples of the cheeks. 


LIPS :

* use shades like light pink to nude to give more emphasis on the eyes. 


HAIR : 


* Using a curling iron or flat iron curl hair and make soft curls. 

So heres the finish product! 



* I tried my best to look like a korean. lol! 


Hope you enjoyed my post.

And the Winner is...

Here are our Top 3 choices 

1. Tweety De Leon 


My beauty icon is Tweety de Leon. Her beauty is timeless as she has been a staple in Philippine fashion and beauty since the 1980's. And she does it seemingly effortlessly as she still looks beautiful with minimal or even without any makeup. When she became a mother, it was as if nothing changed about her approach to beauty. Most of all, she is not limited to her physical attributes and keeps everything simple.

2. Tyra Banks 





"There is no such thing as standard beauty" said supermodel Tyra Banks. I look up to her because she helps women of all ages, color and race realize their inner goddess. She poses in bikini with belly fats, shows natural hair on air, takes off face makeup live, and yet still looks gorgeous. This inspiring lady indeed expanded the meaning of beauty.

3. Natalie Portman 



Natali Portman is my beauty icon. Her allure is very simple but she never fails to capture the eye of people. What she exudes is the natural beauty even when she goes from classy to daring to simple elegant lady. She also justifies that she must not just be recognized with her beauty but also with her remarkable talent as an actress too. Her beauty is something to look up for.
