Hello, bear with me. This may be a wordy post and long, but then I promise I'll try and make it interesting.
I shall start with the makeup tutorial that one of you kinda asked me to show you in my tagboard. :)
SO... I used to chunk different kinds of makeup last time, until to the point I realise minimal is key, so girls, be MINIMAL when it comes to your makeup. You don't wanna frighten those people off in the streets.

1) Step One - Decide on what part of your face you wanna focus on. Usually, if your eyes are your best assets, focus some heavy makeup on your eyes and leave the rest of your face natural. And the same goes if you think your lips are better, leave your eyes makeup natural and minimal. For me, my eyes are usually the parts I heavily focus on.

2) Step Two - Apply Mascara first. Then curl your eyelash peepers with a curler.

I have been using Loreal mascara, I think they are fine. So you can try using them? :)
Mascara is very important in opening up your peepers, so never go out without mascara. And curling your eyelashes help to hold your eyelashes in place. But I am not sure if curling should go first or mascara.

3) Step Three - Apply eyeliner. (For me, I use black and only black.)

Line the eyeliner around your eyes, as close as possible towards your lash line. Any gaps in between will make you look like a freak, so watch out for that. I also line at my bottom lash line, but not fully, till about the center of my bottom lashline. This trick helps to open up your eyes, in other words, bigger :)
But its up to you to decide how you wanna line your eyes. You can even try a little flick at the corner, thats another way to make your peepers bigger.

4) Step Four(Optional Step) - Stick on falsies.

I don't usually stick on falsies, unless its occasions like wedding dinners or some formal events at some hotel ballrooms or something. Because I find it a hassle, but some of you girls probably like it. Its easy to stick it on actually, just line a thin line of glue onto the eyelash and then stick it near your lash line :)
As some of you might ask, the bottle of glue has to be bought separately. Shops will give you a temporary small bottle of glue which sucks btw together with the box of eyelashes. Don't use that, it doesn't stick well. Buy another bottle instead.
A word of caution though, falsies will make your eye makeup supersuper heavy and it might itch your eyes at the end of the day. So I don't really advice falsies cus I never really liked them :)

5) Step Five - Apply foundation/concealer/powder.

There are two types I use. One is foundation and one is powder. Sometimes if you have blemishes, I apply small dots of foundation onto the blemishes to cover it. But if yours is like pimples or cuts or stuff like that, just leave it without makeup :)
Makeup will inflamme your wound. You will want to heal those cuts, won't you?
Blend it well, and to add to that matte touch. I pat on some powder :)
I love Silkygirl's powder because it absorbs oil, and its really good and fresh. Try it.

And thats all I put on, very little right? :)
I don't put on blusher, cus why fake a blush? And it makes you look like a geisha.
I don't put on lipstick or lip gloss cus I like my lips naturally pink.

6) Step Six - REMEMBER TO REMOVE YOUR MAKEUP!

At the end of the day, remember to remove your face makeup with those normal facial wipes or lotion. AND, since your eye makeup is uber heavy, I recommend this eye make up remover from faceshop :)
Its imported from korea, and the water is super cooling and tingly after you wipe your eyes with it. The makeup comes off straight too.
MUSTMUST wash your makeup off, otherwise the next day, you find your face bopping with pimples. Not nice :)

So, I am done with my makeup tutorial. I hope you guys enjoy it. :)
I feel like changing my blogsong to something else, cus Im friggin sick of it already.
And to some of my darlings, my previous post wasn't meant for you. You would know it if it was meant for you. I will probably just give you shit attitude. So cheerup, and I love you darlings. (L)
