MAKE-OVERS AND THEN SOME

Seeing my office mates do their make-up at work, makes me want to be their make-up artist. Some are make-up gigs for a wedding party

FOR A WEDDING PARTY

AS A WEDDING GUEST

MAKE-UP GIG FLAIRED HAIR EXTENSION & THE STYLE QUARTER

Yes, it has been ages since I last posted here. Actually, I just suddenly browsed through my old blogs and missed it alot.

I had make-up gigs before and the occasional, pa-make-up to my officemates. So for the past 2 years, here's what happened.

Last April 2012- In collaboration with Flaired Hair Extension and The Style Quarter (I was the representative)

DREAMY ROMANTIC

F-I-E-R-C-E

Like a lolita

Super fun and great team

Red Carpet Christmas Party

The invitation said formal or cocktail. I wanna differ. I wanted to pull-off the hippie-rock vibe

Christmas Party Look for Kat

We just had our Christmas party and it was a whole lot of fun. And for the past years, I do my friends' make-up for free. But hey, it's only now that I realize that I should start to capitalize with my talent (raw talent---no make-up trainings whatsoever.  So here is a picture of before and after

Forgot to take picture without the foundation

For this, I used Kokoryu summer cake foundation in Orange Blush, Nyx Smokey Palette, Fanny Serrano Blush and Nyx Soft Matte Cream in Milan

Maybelline Mineral powder foundation

I said to myself that maybe it's time to try minerals. Wrong move! I'm not sure if it's only Maybelline mineral that doesn't work for me. Why?

The sales person told me it is for full coverage. How about medium coverage? Plus it says that it blends with the skin.Like an ordinary powder, it feels like it's sitting on top of my skin. Then when I try to put on my eyeshadow, it takes alot of colors for the eyeshadow to appear.

Maybe it's just the cold weather but after using this, my skin felt dry. You can put moisturizer first but the finish isn't nice either.

I'd recommend this for the no-make-up look for everyday use.

with the 599 tag price, i should have just bought my usual Maybelline Clear Smooth Foundation

VMV Id buff-buff apricot soap

I needed this since I have skin problems on my body. This is not to be used on the face. Reason why I love this soap is because it has apricot seeds that acts as an exfoliant and 1% salicylic acid for acne concerns.

I love this since it has natural ingredients and has no fancy smell. They say that it takes 3-4 weeks to notice results. So maybe in a few weeks time i would be blogging if ever i have achieved clearer skin. So after using this for a couple of days, i noticed that my skin is smoother. The product claims that it will also reduce skin bumps :)

It is a bit expensive at 350pesos but i think it is worth it since it is not comparable to your usual soap in supermarkets.

NYX round lipstick swatches

Ever since i bought my 1st NYX tube, I wanted more. So right now, i have these shades and they never fail to amuse me. Colors are pigmented, plus there are just tons of colors to chose from. What's great is that a piece costs me only 200 pesos.

Tea Rose- Natural Pink Shade, Thalia- Muted Pink (like nude)

Tea rose, Thalia,Mars, Doll, Snow White

Mars- Borwn Nude Tone, Doll- Brownish Pink but with a hint of RED

 

In the Phillipines, NYX can be bought on-line but if you wanna see the actual products, you can go to Eastwood Tiangge (usually every FRI-SUN), the booth located at the elevated platform.
