Adele Inspired Look (Grammys)

Hi everyone!

This is a makeup tutorial inspired from the look that Adele wore during the Grammys. It is definitely fit for prom and very easy to recreate! I had to do a tutorial on it because it’s not a secret how gaga I am over looks with red lip colors! As usual, everything will be listed down below. You can also watch my video tutorial embedded at the end of this post.

Enjoy!

Turquoise and Purple Smokey Eye Makeup Tutorial

Hi everyone!

It’s 4:14 in the morning and I’m still up writing this blog entry for the new makeup tutorial I filmed yesterday. I really had fun playing with new color combinations and discovered cheap eye shadow shades with really great color pay-off! I regret not having taken any good photos from this look since the sun was already setting just as I was wrapping the shoot up; it really interfered with the camcorder settings. However, I was able to take photos via Instagram—my favorite iPhone app ever—and I believe it compensates for the lack of photos! Nevertheless, I worked really hard on this look! As always, all the links that you need and all the products that I used will be provided in this blog post as well as the information box in my YouTube channel. Scroll down for the blog tutorial and find the embedded video tutorial at the end of this post.

1. Start off by applying foundation, conceal imperfections as well. I used my James Cooper Cream Foundation 02 (this foundation already doubles up as concealer) together with my Sigma F80 Flat Top Kabuki Brush
2. Set foundation in with a finishing veil/matte powder. I used Krave Minerale’s Oil Eliminator and Skin Hydrator and used it as a Finishing Veil
3. Do your brows. I used Etude House’s Easy Brow Pencil in Dark Brown
4. Take a shimmering white E/S and apply this on the inner corners of the eyes as well as the brow bone area. I used Sleek Makeup’s Innocence E/S from the Bad Girl Palette
5. Take a matte brown eyeshadow and run this along your crease area, create a shadow and use the windshield wiper motion; leave the inner part of the lid untouched. Blend any harsh edges away. I used the matte brown eye shadow from my ELF Makeup Clutch
6. Taking a purple eye shadow, apply this right on the outer corners of the eyes, build the color up, and then blend away thoroughly, making sure not to leave any harsh edge. I used Sleek Makeup’s Rebel E/S from the Bad Girl Palette
7. Whatever’s left on the brush, shade your lower lash line
8. Take a black eye shadow, and darken your crease area. I used Sleek Makeup’s Noir E/S from the Bad Girl Palette together with Marionnaud’s N37 Pointed E/S brush.
9. Blend, blend, blend
10. Take a turquoise eye shadow and dab it on the center lids, this will give the look a pop of color. I used the turquoise E/S from the ELF Makeup Clutch
11. Take a liner and line your lash line, tightline, and line your inner rims. I used Nichido’s Mineral Kohl Pencil in Onyx
12. Use a smudge-brush to smudge out the edges for a more subtler effect
13. Curl your lashes and apply mascara
14. Apply false lashes
15. Contour for a slimmer looking face. I used Mememe’s Shimmer Stack in Bronze
16. Apply blush. I used Krave Mineral’s Blush in Pink Muffin

Smokey Silver and Black Makeup Look

Hi everyone!

The video is finally up after hours of re-converting and re-editing! I filmed this yesterday and I can honestly say that I am very happy with this look. Probably the best thing about this is that I taught it in Tagalog. I never saw the need for anyone to do Tagalog tutorials UNTIL I got awesome feedback from my subscribers. It melts my heart when I receive messages in YouTube/Twitter/Facebook saying my videos have helped them [viewers] so much better when it comes to makeup application. I never really considered the thought but when Benji, Judy of ItsJudyTime’s husband, told me it would be a good idea, I gave it a try. True enough, it worked! 

This makeup look is a classic and dramatic smoky eye look perfect for clubbing or even prom! Prom season is right around the corner isn’t it? Well, this look is achievable with even the most affordable products in the market.

Hope you enjoy! Video embedded at the end of this post.

1. Do your usual brow, concealing, and foundation routine
2. We will make use of the ‘tape trick’ to be able to achieve a crisp and precise eyeshadow line/shape
3. Take two pieces of Scotch tape or Magic tape and tape this from the corner of the eye to the tip of the eye brow
4. Take a silver shadow and apply this all over the lids; the tape will give a defined outer corner
5. Take a black shadow and apply this on the outer V, the tape will be your guide and will automatically create the ‘V’ shape
6. Using a flat brush, take the black shadow and line the outer HALF of your lower lashline
7. Take a blending brush and blend the outer corners for a more subtle and smoky effect
8. Take a white shadow and highlight the brow bone
9. Use the white shadow to highlight the inner corners of the eyes down to the inner HALF of your lash line
10. Tightline
11. Line your lashes, use the tape as guide to where your tail should taper out
12. Curl lashes and apply mascara
13. Put on false lashes
14. Apply blush
15. Apply an electric pink lip color

And you’re done! The tape trick is definitely one of the best methods you can use to achieve a beautiful eye look. It never fails!

Products Used:

1. Scotch Tape (You can use Magic Tape, as well)
2. ELF Eye Primer (PHP 249.75, ELF counters)
3. ELF Smokey Eye Quad (Available and affordable at ELF counters)

No Makeup Makeup Tutorial

Hi everyone!

Here it is! One of the most-requested makeup looks (to be taught in the vernacular in the video) from my Facebook Page. The “No Makeup” Makeup Look. Now, before anything else, I just want to expound on this famous “No Makeup” look that is often seen on supermodels and the likes. I did my research before filming my version; and indeed, there are a lot of interpretations and ways of doing this look. It may look very simple to do, but in reality, it takes a lot of products to achieve this flawless, dewy finish. Just because it was called “No Makeup” look doesn’t mean we’re not going to use anything on our faces! It actually means using the right products and tools to achieve the most natural looking finish without looking like we have too much makeup on the face. Be reminded that I used as much local products as I could and gave all the alternative products that you can use, too! Enjoy the tutorial, and check out the Filipino Tutorial at the end of this post.

Love, Say

1. Tone and moisturize your face before applying any makeup product
2. You may opt to use tinted moisturizer, a layer of liquid foundation, or a combination of both as your makeup base (mix moisturizer and liquid foundation for a sheer finish) I used my Sigma F80 Brush to apply my layer of foundation
3. Conceal dark circles and any imperfection, blend thoroughly with your ring finger
4. Set everything with a sheer setting powder, I used Krave’s Oil Eliminator and Skin Hydrator to get that mattified look that will last the whole day!
5. Apply warm pink cream blush on your cheeks for a natural looking flush on the face
6. Highlight high points of the cheeks using a highlighter, preferably a cream/liquid based one to achieve a dewy effect
7. Do your brows as naturally as possible, don’t leave harsh edges
8. Apply a wash of brown (slightly darker than your skin color) on your entire lids and lower lashline area, we want a natural looking shadow on our eyes
9. Tightline! We won’t be lining our lashline, but this trick is a surefire way to define our eyes
10. Curl lashes and apply generous amounts of mascara—this is the most important step in this look
11. Lastly, apply tinted lip balm, lip tint, or a mixture of your favorite lip color over your lip balm to achieve that natural lip color

And there you have it! The No Makeup Makeup Look!

What better way to welcome the new year but with a happy, gorgeous, glowing face, right? I filmed this tutorial today, December 29, 2011. I honestly did not have any idea what look to do when I sat in front of my HP V5560U; but I did know that I wanted to do a NYE look for all the ladies out there. I incorporated various techniques that I learned and of course my absolute favorite cat-eye line design. It sexifies any eye look, believe me. So darlings, everything is provided for you in this blog post, the video, the steps, all the products I used and where to get them. I hope you enjoy, and rock that NYE look!

And here’s the blog tutorial:

1. As always, do your concealing, foundation, and brow routine
2. Start off by highlighting your brow bone and the inner corners of your eyes with any shimmering white eye shadow
3. Take a silver eye shadow and apply this on the center of the lids
4. Take 2 strips of tape and apply it on the side of each eye. Wing it out, use the tip of the brow as end point
5. Take a blue eye shadow and apply this only on the outermost corners of the eyes, pack the color on
6. Take a purple eye shadow and apply it on the outer V; the tape will create the shape for you, blend subtly towards the center lids but keep the area with the silver shadow untouched
7. Take a black eye pencil and tightline your eyes. Line your waterline as well, and go further to the inner corners of the eyes.
8. Take a liquid eye liner and line your eyes, wing it out subtly as we want the colors to stand out
9. While lining, go further from the inner corners of your eyes, this will create a sexy cat-eye effect that will accentuate your eye shape even more
10. Take the purple eye shadow and line your lower lashline
11. Using a silver eye shadow, line the inner part of your lower lashline
12. Curl your lashes and apply generous amounts of mascara
13. Cut a full false lash in half, and apply each on each eye, with the fuller side on the outermost part of the lash line. This will make your eyes look even more dramatic and sexy; using demi lashes gives an illusion of longer lashes
14. Contour your face
15. Apply blush
16. Apply nude/soft coral lip color

And there you have it. The perfect NYE look.
