Hey guys! Today I'm going to share with you this look that is inspired from Goo Hara's Mamma Mia MV. This song is definitely catchy and the music video itself is so dreamy-like, I'm totally diggin it! The main focus of Hara's look is the straight, full eyebrows and minimalistic makeup. So no exaggerated eyeliners whatsoever <3 Natural makeup seems to be the trend too, so you can use it for everyday. Without further ado, let's start! <333

====================================================================

FIRST STEP: BASE MAKEUP

►Apply generous pump of CC cream to reduce redness and discoloration

►Apply BB Cream by lightly tapping it using sponge/beauty blender

►Use concealer that fits your skintone to cover imperfections, dark circles, etc.

SECOND STEP: EYE MAKEUP

►Apply taupe eyeshadow on the outer-V of the eye, extending out.

►Draw a line on the eyelid, following the natural contour of your eye socket.

►Lightly dab peach shimmer eyeshadow all over the eyelid.

►Using dark brown shadow, apply it on the outer-V of the eye, nearing the waterline.

►Slightly draw a line on 1/4 of the lids to create deeper eyes effect.

►Blend everything with a clean fluffy brush.

►Using an angled brush, draw a line under the eyes to create aegyosal.

►Apply rose champagne shimmer shadow to the inner eye corner to brighten up the eyes.

►Create a slight cat-eye with sharp-tip eyeliner, or you can just tightline it with pencil liner.

►Curl your eyelashes with your favourite curler. (Mine's Shu Uemura <3)

►Apply generous amount of mascara on the upper and lower lashes, but refrain from applying too much or you'll have "spider legs lashes"! (Which looks horrible D:)

THIRD STEP: EYEBROW, SHADING, LIPSHADE

►Using an angled brush, fill in the brows and make it straight (slightly downward) for that innocent look.

►Lightly dab taupe matte eyeshadow or your favourite bronzer on the sides of the nose bridge.

►Apply a little bit of shimmery powder on the nose bridge to make it look taller.

►Create vibrant gradient lips using lip concealer, lip liner and lip tint.

►Contour the cheekbone, chin and temples to make an illusion of slimmer face.

►Apply generous amount of peach/pink-colored blush on.

Thanks to Meiske for lending me this wig c:

So, what do you think? I think I can totally use this makeup for everyday purpose, since it looks pretty natural and at the same time, cute! Goo Hara looks lovely as usual in the music video <3 As expected from my favourite KARA member! So, who should I do (inspired look) next? Comment down below and let me know <3

Thank you for reading! xx

Hey guys! Today I'm joining this fun Beauty Box Challenge, supported by Elevenia & Indonesian Beauty Blogger! Short story, we are to browse through Elevenia's catalog, place the items of our choice into the wishlist and to blog on why do we choose what we chose! Sounds simple, right? :p If you're interested in joining this particular challenge, go to this [link]~

========================================================================

While browsing for these items, I was amazed to see that Elevenia has a huge, huge variety of products from different brands! The prices are even cheaper than some online shops I've encountered before. Definitely a plus point for me~! <3

 After browsing the wide array of items, I've come down to the top 7 items I have always loved. The wishlist interface is very simple and understandable. There are 4 main rows that lists out the product details, the price (and some discount too), sellers' ID and the rating from customers itself. Neat!

*Tip: I've backlinked all the products to its respective Elevenia product link. Just click the picture to find out more about the products I've chosen, aye? And you're welcome~ ;)*

Moving on to the first product. Etude House's CC Cream has always been my staple makeup product, since it is very lightweight and reduces my redness. It also act as a primer before putting any concealer, foundation, etc. I love the way it mosturizes my skin <3 Absolutely perfect for everyday use to school, work and outing with loved ones.

Coastal Scents. Nothing beats the colourful palette Coastal Scents make. This palette in particular has 88 eyeshadow shades, but there's even a palette that has more than 250 shades! Amazing~ I definitely need one of these for my cosplay purpose, also it adds boldness & playfulness to the eyes, no? ;)

Next up, Real Techniques brushes. Real Techniques brush sets are just to die for. They are so soft and easy to clean! (I can testify this myself, since I used it before and I just need to have it!) The orange-coloured set is for the face, mostly, while the purple ones (starter set) are focusing more on the eyes.

No word can describe Dolly Wink's Liquid Eyeliner. It's brush-ended and has an amazing precision. I can easily make a winged eyeline in mere 3 strokes! It's also very pigmented, so no more wasting time on reapplying it. Definitely my holygrail product <3 Thank you, Tsubasa Masukawa, for creating such a glorious product!

I am very curious about this Konjac Sponge because I have yet to try it. Every color represents different effects, so better pick ones that suits your skin condition best. I choose the Natural Konjac Sponge because it can be used for any type of skin condition and it looks cute! Imagine a fluffy white sponge for you to massage your face~ <3

Last but not least, the Etude House Dear Darling Tint. Dear Darling Tint is very effective for me. Not only it is pigmented, it is quite blendable and smells good! It smells like strawberry and taste quite like one! (Not that I deliberately eat it :p). Etude House just makes lovely, lovely tints from time to time with wide variety of colors that I love. <3 I'm getting one with a slight coral color in it. :9

===============================================

I guess that's it, guys! So, what do you think? Do you have the same Elevenia wishlist as mine? :p

I had fun searching the whole makeup catalog from Elevenia and hopefully, all of these will be mine haha <3 (Amen to that!) Be sure to check out Elevenia and join this fun challenge~

May the best Elevenia-spirited post win, fair and square, and I hope to see you peeps soon (hopefully with all the Elevenia gifts?) on my next post!

Thank you for reading! xx

Good evening, lovely residents of Earth! (Unless you're an alien, hi to you too.) Last Sunday, I was invited by W2 Salon to experience their salon service~ I had my hair cut and styled since my old hairstyle is too puffy for my face shape. I leave the fate of my hair to them :p and I'd say I'm extremely pleased!

The salon itself is very comfortable and leans more to a modern-minimalistic look. There are beautiful array of aquatic lifeforms displayed in the main stations. The place looks like a glasshouse that requires little lighting and you can say it's pretty cool concept to have an eco-friendly salon. Not only that, the salon has a VIP room and its own private makeup room (maybe for bridal makeup, etc.) which makes it very luxurious. The parking lot is pretty spacious and can hold quite a few cars! (Another plus for me because I tend to drive alone :9)

The attendants are very welcoming and friendly. Especially Wawan, who is in charge of my hairchange for the day. He has a bubbly personality that just seems friendly to me. Not only that, he is also one of the best hairstylist in W2 Salon. Like literally, he won bajillion hairstyling awards and I'd say he totally deserve it because I love my haircut <33

Backstory-wise, W2 Salon has been around for almost 2 decades! (Like seriously, 20 years!) The founder, Willy, has travelled all around the world winning awards on hairstyling and makeup artistry. He is also the Indonesian ambassador for Wella. He did many collaborations with big fashion names in Indonesia, like with Sebastian Gunawan (Top Indonesian fashion designer) and Titi DJ (Indonesian singer). I had the honor to take a picture with him and he appeared to be extremely humble despite his stacking awards. I like him! 

I absolutely love my first experience to W2 Salon and hopefully have the chance to visit W2 Salon again in the near future! You guys should totally check them out! Comment down below if you had your own experience in W2 Salon <3

Hey guys! I'm going to show you my very first tutorial <3 It is going to be about how to achieve that ulzzang gradient lip everybody have been rocking~ This is requested by a friend of mine who is curious on this style of gradient lip. I've been using this style for a while now since it gives a nice touch to any look and looks very nice when cosplaying pretty shoujo characters.

Gradient lips for cosplaying different characters

-- STEP ONE --

It's best to keep your lips hydrated and plump before applying any products to it. I'm using Burt's Bees Pomegranate Lipbalm to mosturize my chappy lips. This particular lipbalm has pomegranate oil in it, which hydrates and revitalizes your lips with a hint of color for an even, beautifully toned appearance!

-- STEP TWO --

Apply generous amount of concealer on the lip, but rather focus on the outer corner of the lips and slowly blend away for a smoother gradient effect. Etude House's Lip Concealer does the job for me, though it was rather lighter than my skintone.

-- STEP THREE --

Line your lips with a lip liner and fill them in. This acts as a matte base for all your tints later on. I'm using Bobbi Brown's Lip Liner in Brownie Pink, as it matches my skintone best.

-- STEP FOUR --

Apply a coral cream liptint on the inner lips and blends outwards. For coral liptint, I have Shu Uemura's 6Princess Lip & Cheek Tint. It's very creamy, pigmented and suitable for this gradient look.

-- STEP FIVE --

Apply a thin line of blood red liptint on the inner lips and blend outwards with a clean lipstick brush. By using a lipstick brush, you have more control and can build up the gradient colors. If done correctly, the colors should gradient like blood-red >>> coral >>> brownie pink >>> nude.

-- STEP SIX --

Swipe a tiny amount of concealer onto your ring finger and dab it gently to the outer corner of the lips. This ensures the colors to look more vibrant and reapply on the corners that might've smudged through the process.

-- STEP SEVEN --

Apply generous amount of lipgloss for a sophisticated look. In this tutorial, I would love to have a matte look. Instead of using clear lipgloss, I applied enough lipbalm to hydrate my lips again.

Finished Result! <3

That's the end of this tutorial! 7 simple steps that even beginners can follow <3 Note to anyone attempting this, there will be times when the colors might not suit you but don't let it prevent you from finding the perfect shade of pink/coral/red for this gradient look! Everyone has different skintones and one color might not complement one another. It's totally okay!

Practice makes perfect and practice means more shopping, and more shopping means more collection! Yay for wide collection of makeup \m/ I hope you like this tutorial, sorry for making it picture-heavy but I hope you guys get this tutorial anywas. :")
