Monthly Favorites : April 2014.

Alright, another series that I’m attempting to complete! So let’s just jump right in and see what has been working for me this month.

{ BASE }

Bourjois Healthy Mix Serum

I did a review on it which you can read here, and I feel that this just gives an amazing base which evens out your skin tone really well.

Smells amazing, looks amazing, feels amazing. What’s there not to love?

Bobbi Brown BB Cream

I’m aware that Bobbi Brown has came out with a CC cream which I’m very keen on getting because I’ve seen someone use it and I love the coverage it gives and the finish it has.

This evens out my skin tone and leaves a slight dewy finish. I like using this for a natural look and just for an everyday wear.

Trying not to finish this too fast because it isn’t cheap!

{ FACE }

Topshop Cream Blush in Neon Rose.

I can’t find it on the web, but I’m pretty sure it’s sold in stores!

This is my definitely go to blush for a “glowing” look as it makes me seem alive, healthy and fresh.

It gives you a little of the flush you get after a long run, and I like to put this on my cheekbones.

{ LIPS }

Stila Lip Glaze in Melon.
(I can’t find the link, but I got this in the Christmas set)

This is an amazing lip gloss as it doesn’t feel as though you have something on your lips. It smells nice too!

The color “Melon” is really natural and perfect for an everyday look.

My pet peeves about lip glosses are their stick factor and this is not as sticky as the other lip glosses out there which is a plus point because now it won’t seem as you have glue on your lips!

{ EYES }

Maybelline Rocket Volum’ Express.

This mascara lengthens my lashes like no other, and I had a guy who asked me if I fake lashes on.

Not sure if it’s because guys can’t really tell, or maybe it made my lashes really long. I really like the staying power, it’s pretty hard to remove and it isn’t even the waterproof formula!

It’s the perfect “in a rush” product to use because you can definitely see a difference when you have this on.

But lately I’ve seen some smudging, which isn’t much of a problem because I have my new Bioderma micellar water.

{ MISC }

Bioderma Sensibio H2O.

This is perfect for removing those mascara smudges or eyeliner problems. The best part is that you don’t have to rinse it off, how much more convenient can it get?

I will definitely be repurchasing it when there’s a discount.

Real Techniques Expert Face Brush.

This brush is firm and does an amazing job at blending out the foundation. It feels amazing on the skin and the shorter bristles and how dense it is makes it a holy grail brush for me.

Though my E.L.F brushes are really soft, this brush has won my heart over them. Looking forward to get more in the future!

Spring Makeup | Snickeriggles

Spring, the season everyone has been looking forward to because winter has been way too long.

I wish I had spring around here, with the cool weather & flowers springing up everywhere. It’s warm around here all the time, but I have been seeing a lot of bloomed flowers so it feels good.

Since spring has arrived, I decided to do a makeup look which you can wear to look and feel amazing this season!

*

COMPLEXION.

A dewy glow would be amazing as it looks fresh and alive, just like the flowers which are blooming after the freezing winter.

L’Oreal Magic Lumi Primer.

You can definitely skip this step if you don’t like primers, but I feel that this gives some glow which makes it seem like it’s coming from within.

Bourjois Healthy Mix Serum Foundation.

From what I know, this doesn’t retail in the US so try to get it on eBay or Amazon!

Also, do not mix this up with the Bourjois Healthy Mix Foundation, the one I’m mentioning today is the serum foundation!

This gives a dewy glow which can make it seem as though you have highlight on your face, when you really don’t.

Maybelline Instant Age Rewind Eraser Dark Circle Treatment.

This has a fairly light coverage (while doing its job of concealing at the same time) which I feel is amazing for Spring as winter is over and light makeup is coming back.

Benefit Posietint.

I know this doesn’t come under the whole “base” theme, but since it is a liquid product, putting it over the powder doesn’t seem quite ideal.

This color exudes a youthful glow, in my opinion, and matches the colors of spring quite well. It’s also a lip and cheek product, so you can choose to use for both purposes.

Rimmel Stay Matte Powder.

Set your makeup with a powder only at areas where you tend to get oily. Lightly press the powder into the skin to lock the base makeup on! If you powder your whole face, it might reduce the dewiness showing through.

EYES. 

Personally, filling in brows can sometimes make them seem more unnatural, so I’m going to skip that step. Of course, you can still do your brow routine. I feel that as long as they’re well groomed & not that sparse, it’s all good!

Urban Decay Naked 3 Palette.

The colors in this palette somehow scream Spring to me, absolutely gorgeous palette. I can’t wait to get it when I go over to the US in November, it’s way too expensive to buy it here.

Apply Burnout all over your lid and then have Buzz in your crease, making sure you blend them out well. Then apply Strange to the inner corners of your eye and on your brow bone.

L’Oreal Voluminous Butterfly Mascara.

Long voluminous lashes is suitable for any season of the year, so use whatever you feel works best for you!

This mascara does an amazing job at volumizing, plus the funky wand allow the outer corner of your lashes to be longer and give the effect of butterfly wings.

Urban Decay 24/7 Glide-On Eye Pencil in Vice. 

I think that a pop of color on the eyes would be great as it’s all about the colors, the flowers and nature. However if you’re uncomfortable with wearing a bright blue eyeliner, try a dark purple one.

You’re moving away from the traditional black, but at the same time it’s also a different color. Vice is a great option. You can also smudge it out before it sets for a slight smokey effect.

LIPS.

Revlon Super Lustrous Lipstick in Coral Berry.

This should be a Spring color, it’s a coral that isn’t as bright as Siren, but also has some pink in it, very much like a peach color.

I might just pick this up when I head to the drugstore soon.

*

Alright, that’s all I have for today and I apologize for the recent lack of posts, school has been making me rather busy and I can’t find the time to type out a blog post.

I promise more posts soon! Especially hauls and reviews.

Thank you for your support and stay tuned!

Cara Delevingne Makeup Tutorial.

Unless, you’re like Patrick from Spongebob Squarepants who lives under a rock, you should probably know this girl.

Maybe not the name, but you have definitely seen her face somewhere. Ever popular on the runways, tumblr and other social networks.

So I’ve decided to recreate her makeup look, which is subtle yet gorgeous. Read on to find out how!

*

FACE.

You rarely see her with dewy skin, but her complexion still remains even and natural.

Jouer Matte Moisture Tint.

Follow up with a concealer at areas where you have redness, blemishes or dark circles.

Maybelline Fit Me! Concealer.

Set everything with a powder so that nothing will budge and prevent it slipping away.

Rimmel Stay Matte Powder.

EYEBROWS.

Let’s face it, not all of us are blessed with a set of thick and full eyebrows like Delevingne has. So of course, to recreate her look, we need to fill ours in.

Anastasia Brow Powder Duo.

Powder has a more natural finish and when filling them in, don’t have an arch that is too high. Fill them from the contours of your nose to the outer corner of the eye (refer to the picture above!)

 The website also has guides on which color to choose.

Anastasia Tinted Brow Gel.

Set your brows with a tinted brow gel for more color.

EYES. 

She doesn’t have much eyeshadow action going on, but as you can see, there is some color.

Urban Decay Naked Basics.

Use Naked 2 all over the lid and a little bit of Faint in the crease and along the lower lash line. (Not the waterline!)

At the lower lash line, smudge it out to give a sultry effect.

Then, use Crave and line the upper lash line, keeping it a thin line, as close to the base of your lashes as possible. This gives an illusion of fuller lashes!

Maybelline Rocket Mascara.

Add a few coats of mascara, and I feel that this is an amazing mascara which lengthens your lashes & gives them the most definition.

CHEEKS.

Well, look at her cheekbones.

For those of us that don’t have cheekbones that are as defined as hers, time for some contouring!

The Body Shop Honey Bronzer.

This is matte, which is essential for contouring.

To find your cheekbones, suck in your cheeks and make a fish face.

Something like this!

Find your cheekbones and using a big fluffy brush, apply the bronzer right under your cheekbones, to give them more definition.

Be sure to blend well so it doesn’t seem as though there’s dirt on your face!

LIPS. 

If you have bigger lips, try using a cream concealer and with a small brush, reshape your lips to a smaller form.

Remember to blend in well.

Now, you’re good to go!

*

 This look is perfect for a bright or dark lip as the rest of the features are quite toned down.

A plum lip color would be great for a sexy / grunge look and a bright one would be great for the upcoming spring time!

Hope you’ve enjoyed this post and stay tuned for more articles!

New Year’s Makeup!

For New Year’s, I think we should go pretty extravagant because it’s the start of a new year and we would want to look extra special.

My ideal New Year’s look would be glitter, gold and bold!

Read on to find out what products I recommend.

{ PRIMER }

Benefit The Porefessional.

 It is quite important to use a primer because you want your makeup to stay on your skin without sliding anywhere while you’re partayyying through the night!

{ FOUNDATION }

Make Up For Ever Mat Velvet + 

CoverGirl Clean Liquid Makeup.

If you’re ordering off the drugstore website, do check out CoverGirl’s website for the shade choices as drugstore.com doesn’t have quite an accurate color comparison.

{ EYEBROWS }

It’s time to go strong for this look, but not overly thick. Strong defined ones are the best, not caterpillar like.

Maybelline Define-A-Brow. 

I feel that pencil is really easy and quick, but you want a more natural look, you can try a powder instead.

Anastasia Brow Powder Duo. 

Their page comes along with advises on which shade to get!

{ EYESHADOW }

Nars Eyeshadow Primer.

Maybelline Color Tattoo Metal in Silver Strike.

This as a base will give a very nice dimension and pop to the eyes when you use your normal eyeshadow over it. Just apply it all over the lids.

Revlon ColorStay Smoky Eyeshadow Stick in Flare.

Use the lighter color all over the lid and the darker one in the crease. Feel free to build up the intensity but remember to blend well to reduce any harsh lines!

{ EYELINER }

Maybelline Gel Eyeliner.

We’re going for a winged effect!

{ MASCARA }

Maybelline Volum’ Express The Falsies.

Curl your eyelashes and apply a few coats of it!

{ CHEEKS }

Nars Powder Blush in Sin.

This gives an amazing glow and I feel that it complements the eyes very well.

{ LIPS }

Yves Saint Laurent Glossy Stain in Mauve Pigmente.

This will neutralise the whole look as the eyes were pretty smokey already and it’d be too much to have a bright lip.

Finish everything off with Urban Decay All Nighter Setting Spray which will allow your makeup to last throughout the entire party night.

Alright! That’s all I have for today and I hope you enjoy your New Years and I hope this has given you some ideas on what to use for your makeup!

My Christmas Makeup. | Blogmas Day 19.

Christmas is the time to doll up, because I don’t normally do that everyday. So here are some products I’ll be using to achieve my own glam look!

To achieve a flawless canvas, I’ll be using CoverGirl’s Clean Liquid Makeup for Sensitive Skin in Buff Beige. This happened to be the only foundation from CoverGirl that has managed to match my skin tone.

I will be mixing e.l.f’s radiance enhancer in Sunrise together with my foundation to give me a bronze sheen and glow.

I’ll do my normal filling in of brows with Maybelline Define-A-Brow.

I’ll use my e.l.f Little Black Beauty Book with a copper shade in the crease, along with a light mahogany to blend it out. The e.l.f jumbo eyeshadow stick in French Lace will be the base.

Of course, not forgetting to prime my lids with Urban Decay’s Primer Potion.

I’ll be lining my eyes with Urban Decay’s 24/7 Liner in Rockstar. The purple shade makes me feel glamorous.

I will be enhancing my jaw line with e.l.f Studio Contour Blush and Bronzer before putting on Nars’ Orgasm Blush on my cheekbones.

Last but not least, I’ll be applying Urban Decay’s Lip Stain in Greedy which is a deep berry color. This will seal the Christmas feel and help me feel pretty!

Christmas is tomorrow, I can’t wait!

My everyday makeup routine. | Blogmas Day 18.

I had absolutely no idea what to post next, so here’s an everyday makeup routine that I think is really natural and useful for beginners.

Above, is how I’d apply the items to my face in order.

First, I’d start off by covering all the imperfections and dark circles with my Maybelline Waterproof Stick Concealer. 

Then I’d fill my brows in with Maybelline Define-A-Brow, only at the areas where lacks brow hair.

Right below, I’ll use Wet n Wild Eyeshadow Trio in Walking On Eggshells and apply it on my lid and crease.

Followed by Wet n Wild’s Megalast Retractable Eyeliner in Blackest Black. If you want a more natural look, try brown instead.

CoverGirl’s Clump Crusher is beginning to tickle my fancy again, just because it’s waterproof and I’ve been going out a lot and I don’t want mascara to end up below my eyes.

Nars’ Orgasm Blush is perfect for giving me that healthy, youthful glow. My favorite blusher that’s for sure!

Last but not least, Urban Decay’s Lip Stain in Envious. This is suitable for an everyday look because it isn’t too dark or light. Also, I don’t have to reapply it every now and then, so it’s awesome!

That’s all I have for today, stay tuned for more!

Current favorites. | Blogmas Day 16.

I really ran out of brain juice and I can’t think of anything to post. So here’s something small and I’m gonna tell you what my current favorites are!

Or maybe, Christmas favorites.

Maybelline Define-A-Brow in Medium Brown. 

Perfect for filling my brows in, as I feel that they can be pretty sparse in the front and end. I have the tendency to over draw them and they end up looking like caterpillars on my head.

Not cool.

But! With a light hand and the right amount, it’ll look pretty natural and normal.

Available here.

Anastasia Brow Pen in Universal Light. 

I have natural dark hair, so this doesn’t work as well. However, I got it in a set off eBay so I’m just trying to work it.

It is a felt tip marker and is really easy for application! If I had it in universal deep, it’d be fighting a spot with the Maybelline Define-A-Brow.

Available here.

Maybelline Cover Stick Waterproof Concealer in Light Beige.

For those days where I don’t have enough sleep or when the hormones start kicking in and gives me zits, this is super handy.

It doesn’t crease as well so more brownie points is given, plus it is waterproof, perfect for the ridiculously humid weather in Singapore.

Available here.

Urban Decay Blush in Fetish. 

I think it’s discontinued because I can’t find it on their website.

It’s a pretty purple mauve that’s amazing for Christmas! It gives me a very festive feel.

It is really pigmented. 2 dips of a brush into it and a hard tap is enough already.

I won’t recommend swirling your brush around, just because it’s pretty small and it’ll be too much.

Urban Decay Lip Stain in Envious. 

This too, is discontinued and it came in the set, same as the one together with the Anastasia brow pen.

I’m glad to have gotten the 2 shades available (Greedy as well.) before they were discontinued.

This is a pretty “my lips but better (MLBB)” shade with a pink tone to it.

I’ve been using this quite frequently and it stains (duh) so it’s easy for me because I don’t have to re-apply.

However the downside is the taste. Kinda bitter.

Urban Decay Lipstick in Jilted. 

Sadly, another discontinued one! This came in the same set and I love this lipstick.

It’s super creamy, smooth and pigmented. However I don’t use such a dark shade everyday so I’m figuring out when or how to make this wearable.

Perfect for those cool, grungy Instagram shots.

Speaking of Instagram, y’all should follow me @ WhimsicalMess!

Alright, that’s all I have for my current Christmas / Festive favorites. Hope you’ve enjoyed the post and here’s to me rushing to finish the rest of vlogmas.

Holiday Makeup! (Drugstore)| Blogmas Day 15.

I figured that I should do a makeup look, because the last one was written a pretty long time ago.

Here are some of my recommended items that you can use to construct your look!

(Click the product name for the link to where you can buy it.)

Foundation. 

Revlon Colorstay Foundation. 

They come in different formulations that suit different skin types!

Maybelline Fit Me! Shine Free Foundation.

CoverGirl Outlast Stay Fabulous 3-in-1 Foundation. 

Bourjois Healthy Mix Serum Foundation.

Neutrogena Healthy Skin Foundation.

EYEBROWS. 

I think that the holiday season requires full eyebrows!

Remember to choose a product that’s a shade lighter than the hair on your head!

Maybelline Define-A-Brow Eyebrow Pencil.

e.l.f Studio Eyebrow Kit. 

Revlon Brow Fantasy.

EYESHADOW. 

There’ll be a glam side & a neutral side!

Maybelline Color Tattoo in Pomegranate Punk. (glam)

Wet n Wild Eyeshadow Trio in Knock On Wood. (glam)

Maybelline Eyestudio Eyeshadow Quad in Legendary Lilac. (glam)

Rimmel Glam’ Eyes Eye Shadow Quad in Diamond Jubilee. (neutral)

Maybelline ExpertWear Eyeshadow Quad in Lavender Lights. (neutral)

Maybelline EyeStudio Eyeshadow in Pink Punch. (neutral)

CHEEKS. 

I think it’s best for your lips or eyes to stand out, so blush should be toned down. You don’t have to use this if you don’t want to, because you might have a natural flush from the weather.

L’Oreal True Match Blush in Tender Rose.

Boots No7 Natural Blush Tint Powder in Soft Damson.

L’Oreal Blush in Rose Gold Lift. 

I wouldn’t recommend bronzer just because it’s a little odd to have a sun-kissed glow during the winter season. However, do what you like and apply bronzer of your choice!

LIPS. 

Maybelline Baby Lips Dr. Rescue in Berry Soft. (neutral)

Maybelline ColorSensational Lip Color in Celestial Coral. (neutral)

CoverGirl Natureluxe Gloss Balm in Sandstone. (neutral)

Revlon Super Lustrous Lipstick in Raspberry Bite. (glam)

L’Oreal Color Riche Caresse Lipstick in Cherry Tulle. (glam)

Almay Liquid Lip Balm in Just Plum Good. (glam)

ALRIGHT! That’s all I have for this post. Do remember not to mix both glam eyes and glam lips together because it’ll be too much.

Hope you’ve enjoyed it and here’s to me completing my missed blogmas days.

Disclaimer : The photos aren’t mine and no copyright intended! I have not been paid to recommend any of the products mentioned and all opinions are mine!

Demi Lovato Inspired Makeup.

I absolutely love her look in the Made in the USA music video. She looks like she’s glowing from the inside, and gives off that healthy, vibrant and sporty feel. There’s a look that just makes her look so approachable and fresh, great for an everyday use! Note : this makeup look will do better if you’re tanned!

Also, the music video’s so touching – shows the difficulties a couple faces when one’s off to war.

Look at that gorgeous girl!

{ FOUNDATION }

She seems like she has perfect skin. Not exactly matte because it can come off as cakey, neither is it dewy because there’s a glow in the right places. So the best option would be a BB cream as it has medium coverage but leaves the skin looking young and healthy!

Tarte BB Tinted Treatment  works as a nice light foundation with many skincare benefits! I chose a high-end BB cream just because there isn’t many drugstore BB creams that are good.

If there are blemishes / dark circles that need to be hidden, Maybelline Fit Me Concealer  is the one I’ll choose because it’s just simply fabulous.

Tip : if you have discolored dark circles (duh) it’s good to use a corrector because the concealer would make it seem more prominent whereas the corrector would make it a nice base for concealer.

Benefit’s Erase Paste and the Bobbi Brown Corrector  has been highly raved about!

{ BROWS }

Demi has perfect eyebrows.

 

They’re full and nicely arched, so all of us has to fill them in to achieve this look!

e.l.f Studio Eyebrow Kit is an amazing product for the price you’re paying. It comes with a wax and powder which can be used to set the wax. I feel that this can give a better eyebrow look rather than a pencil because it’s faster and can stay better.

 

Do be light-handed when you’re filling in the arch and towards the end of the eyebrow because they’re much thinner than the inner brows.

{ EYES }

 

She doesn’t have much eyeshadow action going on in this video, so a MAC Paint Pot in Painterly can give be nice base  for the eyelids especially if it’s discolored.

 

Then for some definition, use MAC’s Soft Brown Eyeshadow and apply it to the crease. Be sure to blend well as you don’t want to seem as though you have dirt on your eyelids.

Her lashes do pop so Maybelline The Falsies Flared suits this perfectly. You might want to line your eyes near the roots of the eyelashes to give an illusion of thicker lashes.

{ BLUSH }

She has glowing rosy cheeks that seals the whole “healthy and vibrant” look. Milani’s Baked Blush in Luminoso has been said to be a dupe for NARS’s Orgasm at a much affordable price and Orgasm is the one which I would have used for this look thus the 2 choices!

 

 

A blush with shimmer is the kind of blush we need for this look.

Tip : Be sure to tap off any excess on your brush, because not tapping is the main culprit of the clown look.

She did not do much of a bronzer, but if you’re pale and you want to make it seem as though you have spent more time in the sun than you actually did, Rimmel Natural Bronzer in Sun Bronze is a great shade.

 

{ LIPS }

Her lip color is really simple in this video. Just a gloss! It’s a pretty taupe-y burgundy color and although Revlon ColorBurst Lipgloss in Rosepearl isn’t the exact same shade as what I’ve described, I feel like it’s the closest to what she’s using.

 

 

There you go! Demi’s look in the Made in the USA music video which I absolutely love. It’s simple enough to be suitable for an everyday look, yet it isn’t too “normal and mainstream”.

I feel really bad for her that she had to go through her eating disorder and have people criticize her for the weight she had gained. That is a sign that she’s better, everyone should be proud of her!

Anyways, I hope you’ve enjoyed this post and stay tuned for the next where I’m going to tell you how to make your lips seem fuller and more “in shape”!

 

Olivia Wilde Inspired

Time for another celebrity-inspired makeup!

She has acted in Tron Legacy, House and In Time. Yup! Olivia Wilde.

She has a really nice figure that’s accompanied with a square jaw that accentuates her sexiness.

Her look consists of high cheekbones and a strong eye makeup which makes her blue eyes stand out. The rest of the face would be neutral with a bit of a pinky flush on her cheeks which adds a slight feel of innocence amongst all the sexiness that’s going on.

{ FOUNDATION }

Her type of look is matte, so of course we need a foundation that gives a matte finish.

Drugstore : Revlon Colorstay

This foundation gives a matte surface (duh.) and also has SPF in it! So if you’re the lazy kind, this can be a 2-in-1 kind of product. This foundation also has 2 different types to suit people with different skin issues. Normal / dry or combo / oily. It’s only $10.99 and there’s a hugeeee variety of shades for you to choose from.

High end : NARS Sheer Matte Foundation

This gives a sheer and matte finish and the coverage can also be built up. So if you’re the kind who wants a totally flawless finish, you can apply this over the areas that needs more coverage. One bottle is priced at $44 and there are 20 different shades to choose from.

{ CONCEALER }

Olivia has a flawless face so for those of us with imperfections that show through under the foundation, this is essential.

Drugstore : Maybelline Instant Age Rewind Concealer

This can act as a concealer and highlighter as well, when used under the eyes, it can make them look “brighter” and more awake. Which in turns would focus on the eyes. This is specially formulated for undereyes, but it can also be used for unwanted spots. It’s $8.31 and comes in 6 shades. If you want something else because you’ve been blessed without eye bags, you can opt for the Dark Spot Corrector + Treatment.

It’s $7.99 and comes in 5 shades.

High end : NARS Creamy Concealer

This is great at concealing! It’s crease-proof and has moisturizing properties, instead of drying the skin like some products do. $28 and has 10 shades. The wand makes everything more hygienic.

{ EYEBROWS}

Wilde has thin, but full brows and I know some of us are pretty unfortunate and have sparse brows, so this step is needed! But if you’re blessed with full brows, feel free to skip this!

Drugstore : Physicians Formula Brow Definer Automatic Brow Pencil

We don’t really want a think brow pencil / brow wax because it’ll be more difficult to control and our brows might end up too thick. This is a perfect size and comes with a brush too! How convenient. $5.95 with 2 shades available!

High end : Anastasia Brow Wiz

This has a really really thin pencil on one end, which allows us to define the brows easily. Be careful with the amount of force you apply on the product, or else it’ll break because it’s so thin! The spooly on one end allows you to comb throw the brows and makes us look more polished.

{ MASCARA }

A mascara that lengthens and volumizes well is essential, because the eye area is where we want emphasis on.

Drugstore : Maybelline Volum Express The Falsies mascara

This adds volume, lengthens AND doesn’t clump! Clumping of lashes makes them appear unnatural and ugly, and as you can see from Olivia’s lashes, they’re flared out and separated beautifully, so this will work well! Waterproof or not, it’s your choice! Priced at only $5.99, I’d definitely say that this is a steal.

High end : Too Faced Lashgasm Mascara

This mascara has many bristles and with little “hooks” on them that can grab each lash and allows them to flare out to the best of their ability! The color is intense as well, which would attract people to look at them. *eye flirts* $21 only!

{ EYELINER }

This is another product that enhances the looks of the eyes and she has a teensy weensy bit of a winged eyeliner (cat eye) so a pen formula / felt tip would be easier to do that!

Drugstore : L’Oreal Lineur Intense Felt Tip Eyeliner

This has a thin felt tip which would be easy (especially for beginners!) to use, and for a winged effect, this would do the job easily because it is easy to control and we all use pens right? This is just like a pen. It comes in 2 shades, and it’s only $9.49.

High end : Tarte multiplEYE Liquid Liner

This has a really tiny felt tip and has the same properties as the drugstore version.

{ EYESHADOW }

Honestly, you can skip this step because the eyeliner and mascara has done the job of making the eyes the focus points, but if you feel insecure without eyeshadow, here are 2 options.

Drugstore : Maybelline Color Tattoo

Only Bad to the Bronze or Tough as Taupe is recommended to achieve her look! Those 2 are the most neutral and allows the eyes to stand out more. If you use a color that stands out a lot, your eye area will seem as though there’s a party ongoing around there. A big party. It’s only $5.83 and is an “everyday usage” kind of thing, so it’s worth your money!

High end : Urban Decay Naked Basics Palette

Not much of a surprise huh? It’s raved about everywhere on YouTube and well, it is worth the hype because the colors are super neutral and versatile, great pigmentation too! It may be $27 and a little pricey, but totally worth it.

{ BLUSH }

A subtle blush is enough for her look because it only adds some “cheekiness” and not to pass off as super lively.

Drugstore : Revlon PhotoReady Cream Blush

I chose a cream blush because it’s much easier to blend and a small amount would go a long way. Be careful not to overdo it though, or else you’ll end up like a joker. Not cool. Any color is fine, but steer clear from bright ones, a subtle and light color is much better! It’s $10.39 and comes in 3 colors!

High end : Tarte Amazonian Clay Blush

This blush gives a nice glow and there are many colors that are suitable for this look. I specially recommend the coral one, just because it’s so feminine and pretty! It’s $26 and comes in a range of 8 colors to choose from!

{ BRONZER }

To give that sun-kissed glow and an illusion (if you don’t have) of high cheek bones that Olivia has, bronzers can do well in contouring and making it seem like you’ve spent a fair amount of time under the sun!

Drugstore : Rimmel Natural Bronzer

This gives a warm glow and helps make you look naturally tanned. Apply it near the bottom of your cheekbones to make that area “sink in” and allow your cheekbones to stand out. It’s only $5.49 and comes in 2 shades to suit your skin tone!

High end : The Balm Bahama Mama Bronzer

This is a matte bronzer and the product can be layered so that you can get your perfect look. Plus point, the packaging is really cute! It’s $19 on beauty.com

{ LIP PRODUCT }

Last but not least, lippies can help complete the whole look. For her kind though, a sheer lippy with minimal amounts of gloss and a natural pink is needed!

Drugstore : L’Oreal Colour Riche Caresse Wet Shine Stain

This is hydrating and is a mix between a gloss and a stain. Rose on and On and Pink Perseverance are the only 2 colors recommended because the rest are too bright and they stand out too much when applied. Pink Perseverance might be a little too pinky on some as well. It’s $9.99 and is available in 12 shades!

High end : Yves Saint Laurent Volupte Sheer Candy

This has been highly raved about by Estee and it is pretty sheer, suitable for the look we’re going for. It is light and gives great hydration too. It’s $32 on sephora.com and there are 12 shades available. I would recommend Tasty Raspberry (above), Dewy Papaya and Juicy Grapefruit as they’re slight pink and almost nude. The rest are a little too dark!

 

Now, spritz on Daisy by Marc Jacobs because it’s a very feminine and pleasant scent.

Outfit : Floral dresses or maxi dresses will do well, along with flats. A pair of simple earrings or necklace will work too, don’t overdo on accessories though! A mini sling bag would look good.

Keep your hairdo simple, either let it down with a little bit of curls or tie it up into a simple ponytail.

I hope you have benefitted from this inspired look and there’ll be many more to come!

Disclaimer : I was not paid by any company to do this, it’s my own honest opinion and something I think would work. It’ll be pretty sweet to be paid LOL but hey, free advertising anyone? Plus these items have caught my eye so well done to the companies who made them!

HINT : It’ll be about beginner’s makeup.
