MS KRYSTAL has an ongoing contest in her beauty blog, dedicated to all things that make a woman more beautiful. I thought it would be pretty fun to join and see what I could do with the colors that I have and the tips and tricks that I have learned blog hopping the past couple of days. I am no pro in putting on make up. I am a simple concealer, powder, a little color here and there kinda girl and you rarely see me putting on bright colors. You would often see me with earth tones, mainly brown. If I need to have my face done, I enlist a friend to do my make-up. Here's one look done by a friend:
Anyway, on to the contest, I decided to try the pink clad girl (MAC Barbie):
I have to warn you though that I am not a pro and I am just happy making do of what I have. I had fun trying to recreate this look. Well, maybe I could have given the look more justice if I had a better camera, better picture editing skills and better lighting, but well, I think I can only wish odds were for me.
I like pink but surprisingly, I don't have any pink colored make-up, be it eyeshadow or blush. I don't think it looks good on me considering that I have a brown skintone. I used MAC Eye Shadow in Clarity (Bright Aqua) on my lower lid and I had to improvise on the pink part. I used Avon Color Rich Lipstick in Wild Strawberry. Yes, I used lipstick. Hehe! I then lined my eyebrow with Maybelline Expert Eyes Dark Brown (as you can see I have quite an untouched brow). I also used IN2IT Liquid Kohl Eyeliner. Since I ran out of glue, I wasn't able to put on some falsies thus I tried to darken the lashes by using two coats of Estee Lauder Magnascopic Maximum Volume Mascara in Black and then two coats of IN2IT Kohl Mascara. I then tied my hair with a pinkish curling ribbon and throw on some black pearl beads on my neck to complete the look.
For the cheeks, I used Ever Bilena Tan Blush-on (it's a local brand that's sold pretty cheap).
Before putting on all the make-up, I used The Face Shop Phytogenic Foundation in Oak Beige (B31) and Maybelline Clear Smooth Minerals Healthy Natural Powder Foundation. I used Mary Kay Signature Lip Gloss in Watermelon as I do not have a pink lipstick in my beauty stash. Here's a picture of me looking straight:
Here's another look at my made up face courtesy of my novice hands and hopeful thoughts that someday somehow I would be able to learn and enhance my facial features.
Now, if y'all think you have the power to turn a drab face into a glimmering face full of life and color, join the fun and visit Ms. Krystal's blog. Check out her blog by clicking this link to know the rules.
