Festive Look for Christmas

This was going to be a very different tutorial but as I was editing the pictures I realized the look was more appropriate for a Christmas theme, so here you go! Gold and red are the key selling points of this look.

Products used were: 

- Holika Holika Face 2 Change Liquid Roller BB in #2
- Koji Eyebrow Pencil in Brown
- Too Faced Shadow Insurance
- Gemey Maybelline Color Tatoo 24h in #05 Eternal Gold
- Urban Decay Eyeshadows "Half baked", "Smog", "Darkhorse"
- Bobbi Brown gel eyeliner in black
- L'Oréal Volume Millions de Cils mascara
- Lips: MAC Viva Glam I and Clarins Lipgloss (label got erased sorry)

- Start off with a clean moisturized face, and apply the BB cream. I barely ever use this BB cream because it's quite thick and very white (despite it not even being the lightest shade), but since I was going for ghost pale skin for this look, this was perfect. 

- Apply some shadow base on the eyelids and on the undereye zone, and while the base sets, work on your eyebrows. 

- Once the base is set, apply a light gold cream eyeshadow on the entire eyelid and underneath the eye to create a gold halo.

- With a brush, apply a darker gold shade in the inner and outer corner of the eyelid, leaving a space in the middle with only the light gold. This will create an illusion of rounder and 3D eyelids. Extend the color slightly on the outer corner.

- With a flat brush for more precision, apply a shimmery light brown eyeshadow on the outer V and underneath the eye, stopping a few mm before the inner corner. Blend in with the dark gold shade.

- With the same brush, and the shimmery dark brown eyeshadow, intensify the outer V and the underline to create a gradient look.

- With the gel eyeliner, trace your upper waterline and line your eye, extending the line slightly on the outer corner.

- Curl your lashes.

- Apply mascara. The one I used has specks of gold glitter in it, but you can't barely make it out irl, much less in pictures :D

The LOL party

I'm currently working on a tutorial for the KARA Lupin look but I'm waiting for proper lighting when I have time (it's currently snowing around here, so the lighting is meh).

Next week three epic parties are taking place, unfortunately because of classes I can only go to one of them. The theme for the party is Wild Animals, I'm thinking of using Michelle Phan's Tiger Eyes Tutorial to come up with something nice. I looove theme parties, they are a good excuse to go heavy handed on the make up and say it's to fit the theme :p

Last week one of my friends invited us to have dinner at her place. It all started well, we ate and discussed some things and others, and then we started drinking and having shots. Lol this could not end well. Actually it did, because we decided to go to some guy's birthday party. I did not even remotely know the guy but we figured three decently pretty girls can always find their place at any party lol. The theme of the party was "Face Disguise", it does not make much sense but we decided to paint our faces. My friends chose to draw a flower and a star on their faces and I ended up with the heart.

We had a hard time finding the place where the party was, we were asking people on the streets but we would always get different answers. While we were walking around, one of my friends kept saying "this is so LOL", thus the title of my entry ;) It turns out that we were looking for n°5 while the party was actually at n°2. We finally figured this out when a bunch of guys from the party started yelling at us from their balcony :p

The guys welcomed us enthusiastically but the three girls who were there just death-stared at us lol. I guess we were stealing the spotlight from them or something. The party was fun, we got to talk to a lot of people. I like to "branch out" of my usual social circle and talk to random strangers. But we left early because everyone was tired and I had classes the morning after. Can't wait for the next party!

Happy Face!


I wish I knew how to put on fake lashes like him


I need to buy this kind of glasses to bring at parties
