[Kolaborasi yang Tertinggal] Katy Perry 'Dark Horse' Inspired Makeup

This post was supposed to be a part of an arabian themed makeup collaboration, but... something happened in the process, so I submitted another look for that collaboration, and this creation of mine was left abandonned. Too bad, remembering it took me 4 hours to create this. This is not such an easy one!

I meant to re create Katy Perry makeup in her Dark Horse video, but again, something went wrong in the process, I couldn't imitate it pretty well. And out of desperation, adjusting with my rookie ability, I improvised a lot. I mean, really like... A lot.

In the end, after attempting 3 consecutive times, I came up with this:

Yeah, the hair. I told you I improvised a lot. LOLs.

Considering the hard attempt, it was a miracle I still manage to provide you a pictorial. Check this out!

How to redo the eye makeup:

1. Draw your eyebrows and apply eyeshadow base.
2. Apply yellow eyeshadow on the inner and lower corner.
3. Continue with orange shade.
4. Using and an angled brush, apply two purple lines on your outter corner, like I did in the picture. This will work as an outline, so no need to be so careful.
5. Draw an outline using the same tool and eyeshadow color.
6. Fill it with the same purple eyeshadow. Erase the mistake with a q-tip.
7. Using white eyeshadow, fill the gap on your outter corner.
8. Retouch again using purple eyeshadow and an angled brush.
9. Blend the colors all together, then draw eyeliner on your upper eye lid. Exagerate the tear duct to achieve longer looking eyes.
10. Do the same thing with your lower lash bed and water line. Make a small wing downward on the inner corner.
11. I'm not very good in drawing eyeliner, so I retouched the lower eyeliner by dabbing black eyeshadow with an angled brush.
12. Highlight your brow bone with silver eyeshadow.
13. Apply mascara and glue your falsies. Falsies is a must. And you are done!

Note: if you already came up witn something much easier steps than I did, you are very welcome, dear.

And as for the rest of the entire face, I didn't provide you with a pictorial. But this is more or less what I did that day:

• Do your skin care routines.
• Do your eye makeup first like in the pictorial above.
• Apply face foundation and set it with a face powder.
• Contour your nose and cheek bones.
• For the lips, draw an outline first with a brown pencil, then set it with a nude colored lip gloss. Here I use a very pigmented lip gloss that looks like a lipstick.

• Face:
  • Revlon Photoready Perfecting Primer
  • Revlon Photoready Concealer (light)
  • La Tulipe Cover Foundation (natural)
  • Maybelline Clear Smooth Face Powder (light)
  • Revlon Blusher (pink peony)

Okay, did my trial Katy Perry enough?

Nevermind. Forget I ever wrote that...

Review: Revlon Colorstay Lipliner (Red & Nude)

I haven't done any of lipliner product, have I? That's because I just own it lately. Back then, I used my eyebrow pencil as lip liner, but this time I finally managed to have the real deal. I chose Revlon. And there was no reason why. It's just a random idea. 

Well, actually I bought the red first and been using it for eyeshadow and eyebrow pencil. I've been wanting to have a very good red eyeshadow from Sugarpill, but the price is just way beyond my budget. So, I thought, why don't I use a lipliner. They are matte and red as well. And when I set that red lip liner with my Coastal Scents red eyeshadow, turned out the color changed into a very nice chili shade.

The Nude one was a brand new so it was still wrapped in black plastic.

Once you open the plastic, this is what they'll look like. Each cap represents the color inside.

My shades. Red and Nude.

This is what the bullet look like. When it's brand new, it is pointy as the Nude shade. But after abusive use by me for quite some time, the tip will change shape into a more rounded one, like the Red. But Please note that any retractable pencil is easily broken if you push too hard, and this also happened to these pencils. I broke that red pencil many many times when I tried to draw my eyebrow with it.

Swatches on my hand. They are true red and beautiful nude brown. I must say I'm a bit dissapointed with the brown, when I swatched it at the counter, somehow, the shade looked like a nice nude pink. Maybe because of the lighting? I don't know. It wasn't exactly the color I was looking for, although it is actually a nice brown shade. I rubbed these swatches from my hand afterwards but the shade still stayed in place. Forgot to take the picture, though. I must say, their staying power is amazing.

I used them as lip liner and as lipstick. Although the color on my lips are not intense, but it can boost up your lipstick color intensity and staying power. 

Thes two pictures were my lips with lipliner and lipstick. I must say that wearing lipliner can make a huge difference. Your lip line will look more defined and, rather than wearing a lip concealer, it is a good lipstick base to make the shade more pop out.

Make lipstik dengan dan tanpa lipliner itu ternyata beda banget deh hasilnya. Kalo tanpa lipliner emang sih kesannya lebih kasual, tapi ada resiko lipstik bleber karena salah coret hehehe. Dengan make lipliner, kita keliatan banget dandannya tapi hasil lipstiknya lebih rapi dan bisa juga jadi base lipstik yang bikin warna asli lipstiknya jadi lebih keluar. Ini menurutku lebih bagus daripada pake concealer bibir yang belom tentu cocok buat semua orang. (Pake concealer bibir di aku malah bikin warna lipstik jadi lebih muda). Oh ya, buat yang ngga puas sama bentuk bibirnya, pengen dibentuk biar lebih tipis atau lebih dobleh, bisa banget make lipliner boooo. Heheheh.

Walaupun bagus, pensil dengn model puter2 gini rentan banget patah. Belom pernah aku nemu pensil puter yang ga gampang patah, mau merk apa aja pasti rentan deh. Jadi nekennya jangan pake tenaga kuli yah!

This is just a comparison between application with and without lipliner. But too bad I forgot to give you example of a nude lipstick.

Lipstick used:

• Maybelline Color Show Lipstick (Red My Lips)
• Beautystyle Lipstick (Sweet Earth)

That's all for now. I don't leave you with my verdict like usual, but if you have any query, please leave a comment below. Thank you for reading!

ps.: Price IDR 60K each (USD 5-6)

IBB Makeup Challenge June 2014 with Silky Girl

Good day all!

My fifth submission for Indonesia Beauty Blogger Makeup Challenge, and I haven't won even once... yet. And moreover, this post was supposedly submitted two days ago... Well, whatever.

This month's makeup challenge is sponsored by SilkyGirl Cosmetics. Just a snap review, SilkyGirl is Malaysian cosmetic brand. Gitta Gutawa, an Indonesian best teen soprano, acted as their spoke person. I don't know in other country though.

Okay, back to the topic. The theme for this month is all about smokey eyes. And since I am still totally clueless what color to wear for a smokey eyes look, I'll just choose the safest ones, black and dark brown.

        

Pasang muka yg paling cakep dulu ahhh :D

For this look I use the classic technique of smokey eyes and an ombre lips style. Here are the tutorials. I have to tell you that the looks here are not exactly the same as in the tutorial boxes, as well as the products, but more or less I was using the same techniques.

Those two tutorials were originally posted on my previous posts here and here. I reposted again, because I'm such a nice person. LOLs.

And as for the face, I sculpted  my cheek bones, jaw line, forehead, and the nose, and added a bit of nude pink blush on the apple of the cheeks.

***

To be honest, making a 'pretty' makeup is such a challenging task, becoz gue orangnya sembrono dan kagak telaten. Jadi bisa dibilang, ini kerja keras bangeeet bikin blending yg beginian ya Allah.

Spam ya!

Hate my face here, I look like a hook*r

Teteeeep yeee biar mo gaya arab, hidung ga bisa boong huahahahaha

Sakit gigi heheheh. Agak burem akibat teknik yang kacau dalam memotret menggunakan timer kamera, maklum ga ada yg bantu motoin nih... hiks...

My Sexy Bloody Stitched Face

Hi, so this is what I look like today:

I know it's still months before Helloween, but I can't stop myself from doing so. Maybe you can save this tutorial for the hext events. Alhamdulillah I don't have Hemophobia.

First of all, I'm gonna warn you that this is gonna be a pretty long tutorial. So let's begin!

This step is optional. 

After doing your skin care and foundation routines, I draw my wounds outline using OPI Matte Top Coat to create deeper looking scars. If you use a glossy nail top coat, do that before applying foundation. Close your eyes while doing so.

P.s.: begitu top coat mengering dan diolesi eyeshadow, luka akan terlihat seperti koreng. (Iiih, jijik...).

While waiting for the top coat to dry, let's do other parts.

*****

THE RIGHT EYE

How to:

1. Apply eyeshadow primer.
2. Apply black eyeshadow around your eyes.
3. Continue with bluish purple shade.
4. Then a red eyeshadow as well.
5. Blend the colors all together, and blacken your waterline and tight line.
6. Draw your eyebrows. To match the blood color, I use a red lip liner to define them.

***

THE WOUNDS

Now the top coat have dried already, we can draw our wounds.

Using an angled brush and black eyeshadow, draw random lines on the parts you've outlined before.

Define them with a red lip pencil.

Using the same black eyeshadow and red lip pemcil, sketch some stitches. Don't be so neat lah yaaa.

***

THE LEFT EYE

Now for the other eye, you can go with any kind of style, but since I still wanna look 'sexy', I do this simple and sultry cut crease one. I actually made a tutorial about this. You can check it out here. But I changed the colors to light silver and dark silver. I also draw my eyebrow using a black pencil instead of brown.

***

THE LIPS

Now for the lips, I choose a dark vampy red color to strengthen the sexy aura. lols.

How to:

1. Draw an outline using a red lip pencil.
2. Fill your entire lips with the same lip pencil.
3. Set it with a red lip color using lip brush.
4. Dab a face powder using a brush and a tissue. This is to lengthen the staying power.
5. Since I wanna achieve a vampy color, I mix some black eyeshadow using a lip brush. You don't have to do this if you already have that vampy red lipstick.
6. You are done!

***

CONTOURING

Don't forget to contour your cheek bones and nose. But sadly I forgot to contour my nose, aarggh! 

Do the contouring with a pretty harsh shape to create an evil looking face.

***

THE BLOOD

Okay, so for the finishing touches, a.k.a. the blood itself, you ought to use a fake blood. Relly. But since I don't have one, I replace it with a food coloring instead. Much cheaper.... And much more delicious...

1. Q-tips.
2. Red Food Coloring (aroma pasta cap koepoe-koepoe, jenis santa merah).
3. Cotton balls.

How to:

How to:

1. Drip the food coloring using a q-tip on the wound lines. Let it drip. More drips, the better.
2. Dab your cotton ball in a light motion to create messy effect.

All done!

  • Revlon Lip Pencil (red)
  • Coastal Scents 120 Eyeshadow Palette Original 1
  • Food Coloring (red)
  • OPI Matte Top Coat

Some useful tips:

• I do the step orders according to my preference, you can adjust to your won. Maybe you prefer to do the eye first, or wound first. But drip the fake blood after putting all of your properties since it'd be quite a mess.
• If you choose to apply a nail top coat for outlining the wound, it would be useless to remove it using a regular makeup remover afterwards. Use a nail polish remover instead. But be sure to close your eyes while doing so.
• Use a face foundation one tone lighter than your natural skin tone would be a great option. Make sure your face is as flawless as possible.
• You can lick the fake blood if you want, it's a food coloring anyway. ^___^

See you again Insha Allah!

Purple Ombre Lips Part 2

I did create a purple ombre lips some time ago but some people said it wasn't such a wearable look. Now I'll try to blend that dark purple color with shocking pink to get a more... Well, normal look.

And this is the result. Ignore the necklace. My hormonal effect made me a bit sultry  lunatic that day.

How to:

1. This is my real lip line. Moisturize them.
2. Frame your lips with black liner, you can exagerate your actual lip line. Ombre style looks better in plumpy big lips.
3. Apply dark purple lipstick on your outter lips area.
4. Fill the inner lips with shocking pink lipstick.
5. Pout several times to blend the color. 
6. Retouch all the colors using lip brush to achieve a gradient effect. And you are done!

Final look:

And a little more joke with my 24K diamond ring. 

Actually, no... It was fake.

The tools I abuse obsessively:

• Artistry automatic eyeliner pencil (Black)
• Etude House Blooming Lips Talk (PK 013)
• WetnWild Mega Last Lipstick (Vamp It Up)

And yeah... In the end, I had to remove all the lipstick stains on those accessories above... Turned out it wasn't such a glamorous idea.

Tutorial: Nude Ombre Lips

Looking back the tutorials I've made recently were all about neon colors or dark shade. I think I'm gonna do something about nude colors. Let's start with my lips first. Then maybe, if I had the time, and the mood, I will try making a nude eye makeup (because I'm soooo into bright colors!).

This is what we're talking about.

Although it's nude, it's pretty sultry when you wear this style on your everyday activities. Kinda adult look. Okay, let's play with your lips!

How to:

1. Moisturize your lips.
2. Outline your lips using brown pencil. You can use eyeliner if you don't have a lipliner. Exagerate the line a bit more to create big lips illussion.
3. Fill your lips with nude brown lipstick.
4. Apply white creamy eyeshadow on your inner lips.
5. Pout several times to blend the color.
6. Retouch all the colors using lip brush and pout more to achieve a gradient shade. And you are done!

Spamming time!

Abused tools:

• Silky Girl eyeliner (brown)
