Here to blog about what's in my make up pouch!
Well, I'm no make up junkie/beauty guru so please do not expect much.
My make up stash is very, very basic and minimal as can be seen from the photos I post up on my blog.
My make up mantra is to NOT look very different before and after putting make up.
Some of you might argue that the purpose of make up is to make one look prettier, so what's the point if you still look the same?
But to me, I rather just use make up to conceal flaws and enhance features so that I don't scare people half to death when they see my bare face.
LOL.
Side track but I found these 2 videos below damn amazing.
Really cannot deny the power of make up!
Videos are in mandarin so you can skip if you don't understand!
LIKE WOAH OMG.
These girls look like 2 different people prior to make up as compared to after they have applied make up!
And also, because I'm lazy (blushes) and cannot imagine myself spending like more than 20 minutes making up daily.
All those fake eyelashes and gradient eyeshadows will make me go crazy.
So I usually stick to the basics and it's proven good enough for me.
Heh.
Of course I have more make up items than what is shown here, but those go into my secondary make up pouch!
This is the pouch with items I use on a very frequent basis and which I will bring with me if I go on vacation.
1) 1 X pencil eyeliner and 1 X gel liner + brush
2) 1 X Maybelline BB Mousse
3) 2 X Stick Concealer
4) 1 X Primer for the eyes
5) 1 X Blusher
6) 1 X Eyebrow pencil and 1 X mascara
7) Garnier BB eye roll-on
Can't live without eyeliners!
(I skip this step though, if I'm in a rush for time!)
Love how lining the eyes make me look more awake and alert.
Especially love the MAC gel liner.
It is waterproof (I THINK) and relatively smudge proof!
Does not run easily either, unlike the pencil liner.
I only use the pencil liner for days when I feel like lining my eyes but don't wish to spend too much time doing it.
If you have not used any eyeliner before, maybe you should start out with the pencil liner!
Easier in terms of controlling the shape and thickness of the lines.
Love the Jill Stuart eyeliner brush which I got from my last HK trip.
Has this little diamante and a dangling letter 'J' hanging from it.
You're gonna be seeing lots more of Jill Stuart in this post!
Couldn't resist their make up range because the packaging is just. too. pretty.
THIS IS THE PRODUCT YOU NEED TO GET!!!
(AKA the miracle product which I was mentioning in my previous blog post)
Honestly, I was never a fan of Maybelline products.
I tend to have this mindset that the more you pay for the make up product, the less harmful it will be on my skin, which is very acne prone.
So I usually steer clear of the 'cheaper' products.
Until I tried this.
It gives me this really nice dewy and radiant complexion!
And it doesn't feel like it clogs my pores much because the texture is very light.
'Nuff said.
Please get this from your nearest Watson's now!
The only grouse I have with it so far is it's non-ergonomic pump dispenser.
I always end up pumping out more than I need. ._.
Before this product, I normally use Jill Stuart loose powder for the base.
(hate using foundation because I feel like my skin cannot 'breathe')
But this has officially kicked the loose power from its position of triumph!
If I ever end up on a deserted island and can only choose one make up product to bring with me, I will definitely choose...
THE CONCEALER!
(Okay lame because if I'm on a deserted island, food will be more useful! What do I need concealers for!)
The one on the left is from Jill Stuart and the one on the right is from Maquillage, which Kat got for me from her Japan trip.
I used to only have the Jill Stuart but ever since I started with Maquillage, I neglected Jill!
Hahahaha.
I prefer the smoother application of Maquillage.
Another MAC product.
As you can see, I am not very adventurous with the brands of make up which I use.
I am very selective because of the sensitive nature of my skin.
So if I'm used to one brand, I will be more likely to use other products under the same brand too.
I don't really use this often.
It's supposed to act as a base on your eyelids so that your eyeshadow can stay on longer.
But I don't use eyeshadow!
I find that this acts as well to conceal dark eye circles, hahah, that's what I've been using it for!
Jill Stuart blusher.
I love peachy tones as compared to pinkish tones because I heard somewhere that tan/yellow skin tones go better with orange-y tones!
IS IT??
Hahaha.
I do have other blushes and I rotate them on a regular basis.
I love bringing this around because it comes with an attached retractable brush.
Pretty and functional!
Fibrewig mascara and a random eyebrow pencil!
LOL.
Can skip this part?
I hardly use these 2 products!
Only put them in my pouch so that I have a more complete set of make up items.
Gua gua gua.
Blogged about this product before already!
Still VERY dependent on this because I doubt my dark eye circles are going away anytime soon.
:(
On days which I am in a rush (meaning only around 2 mins to put make up), I only go for items number 2, 3 and 5!
HAHAHA.
On days which I have no time for make up, I go out in my bare face with lots of flaws and horrible dark eye circles.
Hope this post isn't too boring for those with no interest in make up!
Hahahaha.
I think the videos are entertaining, at least.
