Purple Budget - Inspired by Maybelline
Have you feeling drab recently? Is it a boring face you see in front of the mirror everyday?
Perhaps it's time to perk up yourself!
Although I'm very brand conscious, I am famous as a bargain hunter too! So, this time I'm going to do a very affordable and low budget eye makeup tutorial. Most of the products are easily accessible in M'sia.
Introducing Maybelline Color Plush. (an Elle magazine scan piccie)
I do smoky eyes most of the time and never try purple eyeshadow before. Gonna push myself upon limit and give it a try ;)
So, I grabbed this for only US$ 9.90 at Rite Aid.
Before we get started, make sure to apply toner, moisturizer, sunblock or whatever important to your daily skincare routine on a clean face. Then, set your foundation.
I use Legere BB cream and Marjolica Marjorca powder as foundation.
When the foundation is done, remember to define your eyebrow (click HERE if you have no idea how to draw your eye brows).
Now, let's the fun begin~~
A quad eyeshadow palette is good enough to create an eye-catching look. Each color has different functionality. I labeled each color with a number for better clarification.
Use Color 1 to highlight your brow bone and lightly bring it forward to your tear duct.
Then, dab Color 2 on your lid and crease. Don't be greedy, add the color incrementally and stop at the center of your lid.
Now, slightly wet your brush by dabbing it into a wet tissue.
See the differences? The dry brush (1) brings out light and soft color while the wet one (2) makes the color vividly shimmer.
So, wet the brush and dab on Color 3. Continue to work on the rest of the lids and creases.
Then, apply Color 4 on the outer corner, bring it upward. Remember, less is more.
Now, use a clean brush to blend the colors to create a harmony tone. Do not over blend.
After that, apply a thin layer of brown eyeliner. A black one will be too overwhelming. Here, I'm using Revlon Colorstay Liquid Liner.
You should be able to create this tone after applying the eyeliner.
Important step!!! Pick your favorite falsie and put it on! See, it dramatically glams up the look.
Grab your mascara, any mascara will work. Here, I'm using Loreal new Telescopic Explosion.
The new Loreal mascara is easier to control the amount of application on falsie. Don't forget your lower lashes too~~
The eyes are done! However, a look never complete without cheeks and lips colors.
As usual, I'm using my favorite Jane Bronzer but just the while shade this time.
Highlight your under eye area and upper cheeks instead of your cheekbone. We want to make the eyes pop, so no blushes needed.
Highlight your nose and forehead too.
Now, your lips. I'm using Revlon lipstick in nude.
And Beverly's Choice Wet & Wild lip gloss in Cotton Candy~~
Tada~~ You are good to go!!!
The super low budget for a glam new makeup~~
With a little effort and affordable makeup goodies, everyone can be a star.
It doesn't matter a Amber Chia innocent look...
Or an Ayumi Hamasaki inspired makeup...
Or simply being myself...
The process of transformation is too good to resist.
Hope you enjoy this tutorial.
Have a blissful weekend~~
