Reveal: Emerald Green Eye Makeup

Hi guys!

Welcome to a tutorial for the makeup below...

Last June 23, my cousin had her debut party in Taytay Rizal. I was actually the host for the night by request of the debutant. (I'll show you details of that debut and the outfit that I wore for that night on my next post). So, I did a little bit of creativity for that night and so I created this look for my sister.

I decided to do emerald for my sister's makeup because she was wearing emerald that night. So this make up really complemented her skin and her dress as well. So let's start. 

1st: Of course clean your face to prevent breakouts and remove unnecessary oil on the face.

2nd: Apply your most favorite moisturizer. It's ok if the moisturizer doesn't have SPF or something if you'll be inside the venue most of the night and the party is happening at night because the SPF will be useless. In my case, I used Olay moisturizer.

3rd: Apply concealer first before foundation. Just to make the concealer blend to the foundation when you apply it on top. I used ELF cover everything concealer in light.

4th: Finally put on your best foundation. It is best to use Liquid foundation for oily skin and cream for dry. Also, set your liquid foundation with a powder one. If you'll be using cream foundation check it if it's a cream to powder foundation because it doesn't need anymore setting or else you might put too much foundation on. Less is natural. I used Nichido liquid foundation. Don't forget to put foundation on your neck and ears.

5th: Contour people! Use a contouring powder or any foundation that you think is darker than your shade. Or, might as well use a blush with a bronze color. Use the powder on the hollows of your cheek to make a slimming effect. Also, don't forget your temples, jaw line, chin, sides of your forehead and places where shadows usually show. This will help your face 3 dimensional and not flat.

6th: Don't forget the brows girls! Use a brow powder that is 1-2 tones lighter than your hair. We don't want the brows to look blackest. Just fill in the gaps and try using a clear brow gel to set the hairs.

7th: Line the sides of your nose. Use the ends of your brow near your nose as the guide. From there, line your nose with a light brown eyeshadow to the point of your nose.

8th: Finally let's do the eyes! Ready your eyeshadows this colors -

emerald green - a palette from markwins

dark blue - korean makeup palette

silver - shawill

cream - MAC rice paper

black - MAC carbon

Prime your eyes first! I found a good primer from L.A. girl which is the PRO primer. It really prevents e/s to smudge and crease.

start with the cream e/s on the inner corners of the yes and the brow bone. 

use silver on the 1st third or the eyes. a little circle will do. then put on the emerald green on the 2/3 of the eyes. On the outer corner and on top of the emerald green, make a gradient effect using your dark blue. Then put on the black on the outer V of the eyes and a little bit on the crease. Then blend the hard edges.

Then, use a liquid eyeliner for a more precise line. If you have monolid, create a thicker line so it can be seen. (my sister is a monolid with a deep crease, eyeliner hides when she opens her eyes so I had to create a very bold thick line.) I used the Tony Moly Party Lover Eyeliner.

Line also your water line with brown so it doesn't look very drag.

Then Mascara! black is the best for fuller eyes. I used Elizabeth Arden Mascara in black. You can also put on falsies if you prefer. My sister doesn't like it so we stick on to her natural lashes which is pretty thick.

9th: Blush please! put it on the apples of your cheek. A light pinkish color will do great with green. 

10th: Last is the lips! use your most favorite pink or peachy color lipstick. I used Narcissus from NYX for my sister. 

Hoala! There it goes! It's great for a day time to night time makeup. Looks great also on fair to pale skin.

Try it on guys! It will surely catch the party's spotlight! 

Let me know what you think of this makeup!

Bye!

I changed

Yes! Hi! I changed the name of my blog because...

I am actually having an online shop and I sell anything that you might need. Please view my online shop at facebook.com/popsiamonline or simply search for Popsiam Online and look for great products that I am actually selling. I did this because I don't want readers and viewers to get confused due to numbers of profile names and pages. So, I decided to stick in to only one User name which is Popsiam Online. Though, I still have my personal page in Facebook and you can add me up at facebook.com/mrs.raquid or simply search for Arni Raquid. Thank you so much for your support! See you soon!

P.S.

I'll be posting tutorials soon on my makeup creations that I did last June 23 for a debut party. I did the makeup on my sister, cousin and myself. It was a fun smokin' hot makeup on a sizzling legal party.

Also, I'll be posting sooner about the Hosting that I did in my cousin's debut!

Worst and Best eye liners!

Hi girls!

This post is going to be about Eyeliners!!! I have below 5 eyeliners that I have in my collection. I have tried these products a gazillion times so I know how it smells, feels and look. So, I'll be labeling each eyeliner as best: (for whatever reason) and worst: (for whatever reason as well). Just make sure you look at the label.


1. Tony Moly Party Lover Liquid Eyeliner in Black -----HIGHLY RECOMMENDED!!!
BEST: Precise Lines
WORST: Hard to remove
BEST: Glossy black line
WORST: Creates tiny bits of the dried product and can get into your eyes.
BEST: Waterproof, can really last all night long.




Maybelline Gel Liner in Black ---HIGHLY RECOMMENDED
BEST: Smooth application
WORST: Hard to use provided applicator
BEST: Powdery effect
WORST: Can smudge out at the end of the day
BEST: Waterproof on the first few hours
WORST: the product gets dried out when frequently used.



Revlon Colorstay Liquid Pen
BEST: easy application due to pen design
WORST: It's no waterproof. (Please be advise that the weather in the Philippines helps makeup to smudge and melt. In my case, I prefer long lasting makeup because my face easily melts...not literally)
BEST: It has wide variety of shades/colors
WORST: Just like ordinary pens, it can dry out.


Prestige Liquid Eyeliner
BEST: easy application. Pen like tip
WORST: It cannot make thin line
BEST: lots of shades/colors
WORST: It's too watery that it runs all over the lid while applying
BEST: Though it dries up a bit fast.
WORST: yes, it smudges in time...



E.L.F. Waterproof Eyeliner Pen ----THUMBS DOWN!!!
BEST: Can create thin and precise lines
WORST: Its tip is super hard that it hurts the lids.
WORST: The product gets dried up once opened. I actually used this thrice and It turned dry.

So there you have it! You have 5 to choose from. Just look for the ones you needed like waterproof or precise liner, etc. These products doesn't go over a P500 budget. So, grab one or ALL in the nearest dept. store.
Let me hear your stories too!

Behind my Profile Photo

Hi people! It has been awhile since I ever opened this blog. I didn't have the time to buzz in and post some stuff about makeup or anything else. Anyways, today I'm going to tell all how I have come-up with my profile picture. It's too simple! It's to cheap! But I can assure you It'll be great for an everyday simple natural makeup.




So here is it. A very matte yet glowing simple makeup. Sorry for the picture I didn't have the time to take good quality ones... Next time.




First, I used the Elf Cover Everything Concealer in cream. By the way, I'll be doing a review about this product on the upcoming blog. So, It's a cream so be careful in applying this especially on the sides of your nose. It kinda turned out cakey on the first application.

Use a concealer brush of course or something that is similar to a foundation brush. Something soft and silky. This will help the concealer glide on to your face. And also, it will evenly spread the concealer on your face than your fingertips. Use the concealer under your eyes, on the sides of your nose, the sides of your lips, the chin, and in places where redness and zits are visible. And by the way, I used the Light one of this product because I have a fair skin. If you have a pretty pale one there is a yellowish version of it for that skin tone. There is also a medium one for darker ones. Tip: Make sure that the concealer that your going to buy is 2 tones lighter than your actual skin tone. And please try it on your jawline NOT on your wrist because your wrist can be different from the skin tone of your face.

Next, I settled the concealer using my Lancome Maquicake. This one is in Natural.

Using a fluffy blending brush, I buffed some foundation on top of the concealer to prevent the pores from showing up. This is pretty effective on me and I am using this technique quite long enough because I have big pores especially when I put on concealer and foundation. Also, a moisturizer can help. Try to put that on before putting anything on your face.Then quickly sweep some powder all over your face.

Of course it is important to contour your face. I used my Nature's Minerals from the Body Shop. This mineral foundation is not my actual skintone. I don't know when I was trying it in the store It was quite my color but when I came home It turned out really dark and yellowish. So I decided to just use it as a bronzer and it was quite impressive. I am using this as a bronzer now and It was good. Contour the sides of your nose, your cheeks, your temples, your jawline and your forehead.



Now, as a shimmer, I used my L.A. colors palette. It is actually an eye makeup but since its shimmery and pinkish, I used it as a shimmer for this look. If you have something like this, don't hesitate to use it as a shimmer. Your don't have to buy new ones if you can improvise using your old makeup. I also used the pinkish ones for a blush



Then, I used my Avon lipstick in Sheer Red. It was sheer and kind of silky so I didn't use gloss anymore.

So, there you have it, I hope it helped you in someway. These products are actually cheap and can be found in drugstores and department stores so try it on and I assure you your pockets won't get hurt...

See you soon...

REVIEW: Elf's Cover All Concealer

Hi People! Last monday, My family and I went on a tiring Driver's license renewal in Quezon City. After which we headed to the mall for a quick stroll then I suddenly I realized that I needed to buy a new concealer for the upcoming Hosting that I am going to do. So I need a little catching up on my makeups.

Anyway so I went to the Elf counter to buy a budget friendly concealer because I don't have the luxury to buy expensive ones from Maybelline and Revlon. So, I saw this product in a compact-like packaging and it really caught my eyes.

Pros:

It's a bit smaller than a foundation compact but It's big enough for a concealer. 

The application is amazing. It is smooth and silky and turns matte when done.

The 3 shades are applicable to any skintone.

It blends naturally either by fingertips or a brush.

It really covers my zit and redness.

It so cheap! P200 only! (about $4)

It is somehow water resistant.

It helps the skin glow.

Cons:

It does covers everything but It may take you thrice the application to successfully cover it all.

You need a large amount of this to cover it all.

The smell is BAD!!! Smells like plastic!

The packaging is poor plastic as well.

Not recommended for oily skin because its cream.

Recommendations:

If you are looking for a budget friendly concealer that can really cover any imperfection, then this is the one. It is easy to use and cheap. But, make sure that you will clean and moisturize your face before any application to prevent breakouts.

So, that's quick. I hope you learned something from this review. See you soon!
