This look is more on the natural side since I'm going to the church and just a simple lunch out with my family. You can wear this makeup on those instances as well. Remember, unless you're going out on a night out or an event where you really need to dress up, stick to natural looking makeups. For a natural look, I often use brown and a soft pink or natural matte colored lipstick.

PRODUCTS USED:

FACE

- Garnier Whitening and Even Moisturizing Cream

- Neutrogena Healthy Skin Liquid Makeup (Honey Beige)

- Wish Pressed Powder (Beige)

- Clinique Pressed Powder Bronzer (True Bronze)

- Nichido Powder Blush (Cool Rum)

EYES

- Love & Beauty Smokey Palette (Darker Brown and White)

- Love & Beauty Brow and Eyeliner Pencil

- Wet N Wild Color Icon Brown and Eyeliner Pencil

- L’Oreal Voluminous Naturale Mascara

LIPS

- Watsons Moisturizing Lip Balm (Strawberry)

- ELF Lipstick (Gypsy)


- Laura Mercier Lip Plumper (Wild Berry)

HOW I DID IT?

First I did was to apply the Garnier moisturizer and then applied the Neutrogena Healthy Skin Liquid Makeup (Honey Beige) using my Marionnaud N33 Foundation brush. I, then, used the Wish Pressed Powder (Beige) to set the foundation.
For the eyes, I applied a lighter shade of semi shimmer brown on my eyelids from the Love & Beauty Smokey Palette. After blending well, I applied a darker semi shimmer brown on my crease. Blend the colors well so they won't look rough and use white for the brow bone highlights. I used the Love and Beauty Liner for my brows and lengthened them a bit. I just added a thin black line on my lids using my Wet N Wild Color Icon liner and applied the L'Oreal Mascara on my upper and lower lashes.For my lips, I applied, using my pinky finger, the Watsons Moisturizing Lip Balm (Strawberry) and then put on the ELF Lipstick (Gypsy) on my upper and lower lip. To add a bit of a shine, I used a Laura Mercier Wild Berry Lip Plumper.

For my last touches, I applied the Nichido Powder Blush (Cool Rum) on my cheek bone going slantly upwards to create an illusion that my face is longer. Again, this technique is good for people with round faces like me. Then, I used the Marionnaud N37 Brush (originally an eye brush) to make a line on my nose to make it look thinner. I applied the Clinique Pressed Powder Bronzer (True Bronze) and then I applied white eyeshadow in the middle to highlight the line I made. Blend it well so as not to look weird.

To set the whole look together and create a matte finish, I applied Wish Pressed Powder (Beige) again using my ELF Total Face brush.
Of all my looks posted, this is actually my favorite. I love how I managed to create a natural and fresh look which made my lips stand out in a noticeable pinkish natural way and makes my eyes pop out its own natural beauty.

With today’s look, I made my lips more noticeable and a little less color on my eyes. I just thickened the black on my eyes to, somehow, toughen up the whole look. This look would be great if you’re going to the office or applying for a job; but it definitely is not a natural everyday look even though it is a bit lighter than my previous look. Maybe I will try a more natural look next time; but for now, this is what I have got to offer.

HOW I DID IT?

First I did was to apply the Garnier moisturizer and then applied the Neutrogena Healthy Skin Liquid Makeup (Honey Beige). I, then, used the Wish Pressed Powder (Beige) to set the foundation.

For the eyes, I applied first the Mary Kat Amber Blaze on the lids, the Love & Beauty Darker Brown on the crease and the White on the brow bone. I used the Love & Beauty liner to lengthen my brows and to make it a bit fuller and the Wet N Wild liner on my lids and on the waterline. Notice how I applied it a bit thicker? This is because I wanted to create a tough look on my eyes even if there is less color. I, then, curled my lashes and applied the L’Oreal Voluminous Naturale Mascara on my upper and lower lashes.

For my lips, I applied, using my pinky finger, the Watsons Moisturizing Lip Balm (Strawberry) and then put on the ELF Lipstick (Gypsy) on my upper and lower lip.

For my last touches, I applied the Nichido Powder Blush (Cool Rum) on my cheek bone going slantly upwards to create an illusion that my face is longer.

So that is how I achieved today’s look. I hope you all enjoyed it. Watch out for tomorrow’s look. Might go natural because we’re just gonna go to the doctor for our year’s flu shot. Have you had yours? 

This would be my new blog post series wherein I would post pictures of my look for the day, the makeup I used and how I applied it.  For this look, I focused more on my eyes.This would be a good look when you're going on one of your night out with friends.

Products Used:

FACE:

- EnCara BB Cream
- Jane Organic Sheer Tinted Moisturizer
- Wish Pressed Powder
- Nichido Powder Blush in Cool Rum

EYES

- Fashion 21's Love & Beauty Smokey Palette
- Love & Beauty Brow and Eyeliner Pencil

LIPS

First I did was apply the EnCara BB Cream using a sponge I bought from Marionnaud. After applying the BB Cream, I applied the Jane Tinted Moisturizer which neutralizes the overly whitened complexion which the BB Cream gives. I, then, used a Wish pressed powder to set the foundation; but you can use any powder you prefer.

For my eyes, I first lined my brows with the Love & Beauty brow and eyeliner pencil. Then, I used the Love & Beauty Smokey palette as an eyeshadow. I applied a lighter shade of brown on the lids and then brushed off the rough sides. For the crease, I used a semi shimmery darker shade of brown and blended it well with the color on the lids and then I used white for my browbone. For my waterline, I only applied halfway using the Wet N Wild brow and eyeliner pencil and used the Maybelline Full N Soft Mascara on my upper and lower lashes.


For my cheeks, I used a Nichido powder blush in cool rum and applied it on my cheek bone going slantly upwards. This technique is good for people with round faces and will create this illusion that your face looks longer.

For the lips, I applied first the Watsons Moisturizing lip balm in Strawberry and then applied the Almay Ideal Lip Color in Pink.

This look is more concentrated on the eyes as I have applied only pink on the lips which makes it look natural.

I hope you like this look and feel free to comment or message me for any request or whatever. Till next look! ;)

In the past, the eyeliners and eyebrow pencils which I have used are those cheap generic ones or of local Philippine brand. The problem I have been having with them is that you need to apply it over and over again just so you’d see the result. It was an irritating process at first; but I have gotten used to it so what the heck, right? It’s cheap and it does the job. The bright side on this one is that I won’t have any smudged problem since, well, it easily wears off.

I have finally come to the realization that I should buy a better pencil and my first choice is the Wet ‘N Wild Color Icon Brow and Eyeliner Pencil. I bought the one in #651 Black Black shade. Yes, I use black for my brows.

The Good Bits

It claims to have a rich and creamy color which glides on smoothly without tugging. True enough I need not have to apply it over and over again just to achieve the black I want on my waterline and above my lids. As per my brows, I just need to gently brush it over and line the end only once and voila! I get the brows want. It doesn’t smudge easily so fear not if you’re going to be wearing it for hours.

The Bad Bits

Of all the pencils I have used, it is by far the longest. It is not very much of a pro to me because first, I cannot fit it into my makeup pouch and take it anywhere for retouch because of fear that it might suddenly break and because of its creaminess you have to sharpen it often because its tip gets easily flattened or shortened.

Over-all

It is a brow and eyeliner pencil which will do the job. However, I am not so sure how long the pencil itself will last because I need to always sharpen it. I will be giving it a 7/10. It is a decent pencil for which will do a good job on your brows and eyes.
