My Everday Makeup Tutorial

Hey there my little muffins!

It's been way too long I agree and I'm so sorry! *hits head with a hammer* It's just that (here comes a cliche excuse) I've been busy with O level prep! I've really been studying my butt off which is soooo tiring..... And I drank wayyy too much Starbucks. It's really costly.. 

Back to the point of this post,

So a couple of Twitter followers and viewers have been asking me to do a NEW everyday look. I made one last year which (in my opinion) is an epic failure because I somewhat lacked knowledge. Now I think I know a bit more about makeup and what works for me. 

So this post is gonna be my unique everyday makeup. I love playing around with fun colours and you'll soon see what I mean when you keep on reading!

Let's get started!

Very important step! I love this makeup base/primer because it feels AMAZING on the skin. It's silicon based which makes it glide on smoothly. However, I don't think it does much to make your makeup stay on longer! If you are looking for a primer that lasts the whole day, try the shu uemura one!

I have horrible dark circles because of all the late night studying! So concealing is a MUST! I love this Garnier concealer btw. I've been using it for a while now and it's one of my favourites!

BB creams are the bomb! This is my current favourite one from THEFACESHOP. But remember to use a VERY SMALL amount! You see the amount on my finger in the picture? Yup. That's how much I used for my WHOLE face.

Dot dot dot and then PAT it in with ya finger tips / brush / sponge / your dog :)

Translucent or not! Whatever floats your boat! Setting is important! You don't want your makeup to slide off your face! That'll just be ugly..... and kinda SAD... 

Apply blush to the apples of your cheeks! I'm using Maybelline's Jelly Glow! 

I'M IN LOVE WITH IT! 

Couldn't get a picture. It's hard to camwhore AND do your makeup you know :P

Tightlining is kinda hard and annoying in the beginning but I've gotten use to it cause it really makes a difference and I love it! Just practice! :D

Normally, I'd just use the liquid liner and draw the outer corners & a wing. I don't line my whole lash line cause I think that's a little too much! And I love drawing longggg wings and if I'm feeling funky, I'd draw a wing that curves drastically UP!

I love applying THICK coats of mascara! I love having long and thick lashes! So pretty! Of course, make sure it is waterproof or you'll look like corpse bride X_X

NYX has an awesome line of colours to choose from ^_^ You've probably seen me in the green one before, it's my first one ever! But recently, I've acquired the glittery blue and lilac ones! Love them so much! 

See how it add a 'POP' to your eyes? It jazzes up the simple makeup and create a completely new look! That's why I love doing this! 

(btw, when I said 'pop' I was reminded of how the burning splint makes a 'pop' sound when hydrogen is detected in Chemistry.... OMG... I'm such a nerd..)

I used an orange colour from Etude house! But you can go with pinks, lilacs, corals, anything! Just maybe stay away from reds! I think they are a little too outrageous for everyday use but if you are game, BY ALL MEANS! 

Got this from Topshop! It's a cream stick highlighter! Super easy to use! Just glide it on~

Run it down your nose and on the HIGH POINTS of your cheeks then blend it up to your temples!

See how 'glowy' I look thanks to highlighting? :) 

And you're done...

(I went ahead and added a little bronzer cause the lighting made me look too pale oops!)

I love how highlighters really add this beautiful glow on camera! So pretty! Along with a bronzer, you get the PERFECT summer complexion! *rejoice*

That's about it for today's post! I hope you enjoy! Going to do an update post next, see ya!
