MAKEUP TUTORIAL // BERRY TONES FOR VALENTINE'S DAY!

Hello, everybody!

It has been for-e-ver since I wrote a blog post and shared it on the internet! 2016 was a crazy roller coaster for me and I wanted to share it with everybody that's interested in my story, but now's not the time. Haha!

Today is the day I finally share my berry tones eye makeup! I've been recently obsessed with pinks and berry tones, I can't even! I never knew I'd be so in love with this unique range of colors. I've always seen myself as more of a neutral kind of a girl, but hey, jumping outside the box isn't a bad thing!

So let me start this simple yet chic eye makeup for you guys and gals!

PRODUCTS I USED:

1 // Too Faced, Sweet Peach Palette

2 // Anastasia Beverly Hills, Modern Renaissance

3 // Lorac, Unzipped Gold

4 // NYX single eye shadows

I used a variety of colors from all the palettes I have to create a beautiful gradient among all the pinks and berry tones I have. I think one of the important things a beginner makeup enthusiast should put in mind is that if you're planning on using one range of colors (say blue and all shades and hues of blue), you should keep in mind that having multiple shades and hues of that color would be great to make a seamless eye makeup.

PRIME & SET
The first thing I did for this eye makeup is priming and setting it up. I used my Urban Decay's Primer Potion and set that up with Peaches 'n Cream from the Sweet Peach palette.

PAINT. PAINT. PAINT.
After priming and making sure the lid's ready to be painted on, I grabbed my goodie blending brush and dipped it into Georgia from the SP palette. Then, I applied this color above my crease in circular and windshield wiper motions.

I went on with Candied Peach and applied that on top of Georgia to make it more dramatic. At this point, Georgia's acting as our base color for Candied Peach.

To put a little depth on to my double eyelid, I applied a wee-bit of my Glittered Pink (not real name D:) single shadow from NYX on the outer half of my crease.

To give the look a little bit of a smokey effect, I grabbed Lorac's Unzipped Gold and applied Unbridled on my outer V.

It's that time! My favorite part about this tutorial!

With my Hot Pink (not real name D:) single shadow from NYX, I patted this shadow on my entire lid. Like Georgia to Candied Peach, this is going to act as a base shadow on the upcoming eyeshadow color.

The finishing touch on my upper lid is Anastasia Beverly Hills' Modern Renaissance. I applied the color, Love Letter, from the palette and applied this on top of Hot Pink! This color is so vibrant and sexy, which makes the eye look blend so well.

At this point of the tutorial, a visible gradient of dark berry tones to light peaches can be seen on your upper lid! Yummy and sexy, haha!

Going to the lower lid, moreover, I dipped my goodie paddle brush (which I should have used a smaller one but I don't have a smaller one so meh, lol) on both Raw Sienna and Burnt Orange from the same ABH palette.

TO FINISH OF THE LOOK...
I put on a thin wing liner using my Kat Von D Autograph Eyeliner which I line with NYX's Glam Liner in Aqualuxe (my new love!!) I finished my look by wearing my FIRST. EVER. lashes from Ardell which is called Wispies--I love how these lashes doesn't really go va-va-boom on your face making it look a little bit more natural and effortless, perfect for Valentine's Day.

And there you have it guys and gals, my Valentine's Day eye makeup tutorial!

SOFT FALL GLAM MAKE UP LOOK! // DAY TO NIGHT GLAM

I'm finally doing a make-up look on my blog! Cheers to me!

My two oldest sisters are my role models--but never in fashion. My oldest sister is more conservative in a cute way while my other sister after her is a sassy dresser (meaning crop tops, body cons, and what not). I tried to dress like them, but it never really did fit me. I look much older dressing conservatively and I look like a flob and a try-hard on sexy clothes. I found myself sitting in between those two types of fashion.

But when it comes to make up... I'm still in the middle. HAHA!

I'm more into it than my oldest sister, but less than my second sister. What made me love make up so much is that it instantly enhances your greatest features and may hide the ones you don't like very much. Eye bags and blemishes? Conceal it with color correcting concealer! Small eyes? Enlarge them with an eyeliner! What's there to hate when all there is to love yourself MORE.

Enough with the talk! Haha, so sudden.

As soon as the weather dropped from a 70-80 to 60-ish Fahrenheit... All I thought about was FALL. Red, orangy-yellow leaves! Carved pumpkins by people's doorstep! Coffee with your knitted sweater on! And of course, fall glam look!

That is what inspired me for this coming look. It isn't so intense that you'd only have to wear it to certain occasions; it is very wearable that it can be worn to simple gatherings with the family or lunch break with your girl friends!

THE PRODUCTS I USED ARE:

1 // Anastasia Beverly Hills Contour Kit (Havana & Sand)

2 // NYX eye shadows in Lapdance and Addiction

3 // Colourpop super shock cheek highlighter in Spoon and super shock shadow in Wattles

Putting in eye make up before foundation routine or vice versa--prep and prime your lids first things first.

// After moisturizing and priming my face and eyelids, I grabbed my NYX refill eyeshadow in Lapdance to set my eyelids. Apply this all over your eyelid area.

// Next step is to smoothly apply your neutral choice of brown shadow over your crease line back and forth; but because I have double eyelids and applying it to my crease won't make it as visible, I applied mine on TOP of my crease line. I used Havana from my ABH Contour Kit.

// After that, I will run my Colourpop shadow in Wattles over the center of my eyelids.

// To make your shadow look more natural and blended, I used Sand from my ABH CK and blended it around Wattles.

// I popped my NYX shadow in Addiction on my lower, outer eyelids to make it more dramatic amidst the soft glam my upper lids are making while applying Havana on my inner, lower eyelids.

// To finish off my eye shadow look, I applied my Colourpop SSCH in Spoon on my inner eye and underneath my eyebrows.

I finished my entire look with winged liners and mascara. I also used my ABH Contour Kit to highlight and contour points in my face, a pop of blush from Elf, Jet Set Black eyebrow pencil from Colourpop, and lippie stix in Cami from Colourpop.

To make the look more dramatic, you can alter the lip color among browns and red-burgundies! It's really up to you!

Thank you guys for reaching this point of the post!

I was really debating if I should really do this post and I did!

I know that I have a long way to go into this genre, but while working on it, won't you guys give me your honest opinion and tips on this? Thank you so mucho!
