Beauty Product 1

I know... I know.. it's been gazillion years since I last blog... I was lazy or maybe I was simply doesn't have anything to say...

SO this blog is supposed to be fun and vain.. Rather than writing about political issues or world agenda, I'd rather blog about something fun like makeup :D

So here is my makeup counter:
So the big vase actually holds face products and the small vase holds eye products... While the box organizer holds foundation, brushes and lipstick...

While some people actually born with perfect flawless skin, unfortunately I aint one of them... I guess I'm one of those young at hearts who still get breakouts even at my age... who says only teens get breakouts? those people are lying... So the goal is to wear makeup but looks like not wearing makeup at all... tricky eh? but actually you neeed mooooore products to actually looks like not wearing makeup..

So what is your makeup routine? I usually spend 10-15 minutes for makeup routine every morning including toning and mosturizing... So here is the normal makeup routine

1) Tone and mosturize
(always mosturize, so that your foundation will glide easily> No matter how oily the face is, you need hydration. I realize when I skipped moisturizer, my face could get dry spots by midday)
2) Foundation using lumiere duo fiber brush
(I found that applying foundation using stippling brush is easier and cuts down the time it takes to apply foundation. plus it's so much easier to blend the foundation compared to using foundation brush/fingers)
3)Concealer
(Undereye is a must! how to get rid of eyebag??? also, blemishes if necessary)
4)Powder
(Loose powder to set foundation. I found that water based foundation could easily slipped off the face, so setting it by powder will make it last longer)
5) Blush
6) Optional
- White eyeliner on inner corner of eye
- Eyeliner ( I use gel eye liner ! I found it more water resistant than pencil kind. Plus, it doesn't smudge by mid-day)
-Eye shadow
-Lipstick/Lipgloss

I'm all set!!!

So next time maybe I'll write down about the makeup products I've been using ...

Enjoy the rest of your sunday!
