IBB Make Up Challenge November 2014 SMARTLOOK Underneath Your Skin

Hi all!

 

Make Up challenge lagi nih oleh Indonesia Beauty Blogger. Udah dua bulan aku skip karena males. Bukan males sih, cuma aku ngerasa nggak dapet inspirasi aja buat ikutin MUC bulan-bulan sebelumnya. Mau ikutan Nail Art CHallenge, eh ga bisa gambar di kuku. Mau ikutan kontes ala Ulzzang, eh ini muka kaga ada ulzzang-ulzzangnya acan. Daripada dicela, yo wes lah, gak usah ikut aja sekalian! Hahahaha.

 

Nah untuk bulan November ini, IBB bekerja sama dengan CJ (Camellia Jonathan) dalam rangka mempromosikan single ke-empatnya CJ yang berjudul Underneath Your Skin. Dalam lagu ini Cj menampilkan Hatsune Miku (Vocaloid). Siapa itu Miku? Google aja ndiri deh. Because you're missing a lot. Heheheh. Tema yang diambil untuk MUC-nya juga nggak jauh-jauh dari dunia digital, yaitu: Futuristic atau SciFi.

 

Untuk yang belum berpartisipasi, kamu bisa klik gambar di bawah ini untuk keterangan lebih lengkapnya.

 

 

 

 

Nah, look ini lah yang akan aku submit untuk MUC bulan ini. Pokoknya inilah kreasi ter-futuristik yang bisa aku buat untuk saat ini.

 

Silakan nikmati spamming foto aku yaaaa!

 

Karena Miku rambutnya panjang dikuncir dua, jadi aku juga bikin jilbab ala-ala kuncir dua juga, walaupun beda warna dengan warna rambut Miku.

 

 

 

 

Another version I did earlier, using lower falsies. I put it out during the photoshoot since I think they make me looked less fierce.

 

 

 

Here's a tutorial to redo this look:

1. Apply foundation one tone lighter than your skintone, then set it with face powder.
2. With a white pencil, draw a V shaped outline on your forehead.
3. Apply blue cream shadow on your forehead and outter eye area, then set it with blue pressed eyeshadow.
4. Apply dark purple on the inner eyes. Blend the purple with blue. Don't forget to contour your nose using this color as well.
5. Frame your eyes with black eyeliner then stick your false eyelashes.
6. Apply the thinnest layer of silver body paint to all over your face using a sponge. Blend it evenly.
7. Apply the same silver face paint on the V shape you drew earlier, then set it with silver pressed eyeshadow. You can make a nice gradient shade by using dark silver eyeshadow and light silver eyeshadow, but if you're too lazy to do this, just skip.
8. Apply silver face paint on your outter lips and blue eyeshadow on your inner lips. Pout to blend the color together, or you can blend them using a lip brush.

 

Ingredients:

• La Tulipe Cover Foundation (Natural)
• Sariayu Bengkoang Face Powder
• NYX Jumbo Eye Pencil (Electric Blue)
• LA Colors Eyeshadow Palette (Dark Purple & Turqoise Blue)
• Viva Body Painting (Silver)
• NYX Retractable Eyeliner (White)
• Koji Dolly Wink Liquid Eyeliner (Black)
• Sleek Acid Palette (Black) to set the eyeliner, because Koji eyeliner wasn't black enough
• Some cheap falsies
• Baby Color Candy Rainbow Softlenses (Gray)

Review: NYX Eyeshadow Base in White ESB01

I have practiced many eye makeups and never seemed to review the very most basic ingredient I used on most of my creations: The NYX Eyeshadow Base. Okay, I think it's about time.

First of all, what is an eyeshadow base? An eyeshadow base is used before applying your eyeshadow, making your eyeshadow color more vibrant.

This product is packed in a tiny transparent glass jar with white plastic cap.

The type I own is ESB01 or White.

There are three types (if I'm not mistaken). White pearl, skintone, and the basic white like the one I have. I'm also curious of purchasing the other two, especially the white pearl since it can magically change any matte eyeshadow into pearly one.

Ingredient for ESB01:

Caprylic / Capric Triglyceride, Mineral Oil / Paraffinum Liquidum / Huile Minérale, Ceresin, Isododecane, Isobutylmethacrylate , Bis-Hydroxypropyl Dimethicone Acrylate Copolymer, Isopropyl Isostearate, Petrolatum, Phenyl Trimethicone, Microcrystalline Wax/ Cera Microcristallina / Cire Microcristalline, Aluminium Starch Octenylsuccinate, Silica, Beeswax / Cera Alba / Cire d'Abeille, Phenoxyethanol. MAY CONTAIN / PEUT CONTENIR (+/-): Mica, Titanium Dioxide (CI 77891), Ultramarines (CI 77007).

(source)

Please note that ingredient for other type of this product may be different.

One thing I dislike is the packaging itself. It's not very hygenic. But considering the hard texture, what could be better than a jar packaging? Just becareful with your nails since some of the product might stuck on nails when you take it out with your fingers. I just can't imagine how will I take this out when it almost hit the bottom.

The texture itself is some greasy cream, but it's pretty hard, not soft.

I despise its smell btw. It reminds me of the old school cream foundation that my grandmama used to wear. If you ever known the smell of the legendary Kelly Pearl Cream, I think you can tell. Blegh...

If you don't blend it well, I can tell that this also work as white cream shadow, very similar to the famous NYX Milk Jumbo Eye Pencil. I usually just set it with white powder shadow, and it create a perfect white surface.

This is very easy to blend. However, if you don't blend it perfectly on your eyelid, the white shade might be a little too obvious. So make sure don't apply too much, and blend it evenly. This makes me want to purchase the skintone type even more.

On the picture above I use NYX single eyeshadow as an example. Those products will be reviewed soon. As you can see that the swatch with primer is far more pigmented that the original one. I have tried this eyeshadow base with many eyeshadow type and brand, from powder, loose, and cream eyeshadow, from drugstore products to high ends, and they all turned to be extremely pigmented and buttery if based with this product, just like magic.

Above picture is an example of how this product works on my eyelids. I blended it, of course, so you may not see that I was wearing a white eyeshadow base.

One thing this product lacks of is it settles into lines. If you zoom in the picture, the lines will be extremely obvious. Although after applying eyeshadow afterwards, the creases won't be too obvious anymore. Well, considering this is an eyeshadow base (not an eye primer), I think I have to accept this fact. To reduce the creasing effect, I usually put the thinnest layer and add some face primer before applying foundation or concealer. It doesn't totally vanish the creases, but at least reduce them. So the makeup sequence on my eyes will be like this:

 Face primer - foundation - concealer - face powder - eyeshadow base - eyeshadow

And as for its staying power is truly incredible for a drugstore item. My eyeshadow stay vibrant all day, the same goes with my eyeliner that didn't smudge at all. Pease remember that I have very oily lids. In short, my eyemakeup stay just the way it was when freshly applied for 8 hours.

Verdicts:

• Creamy texture
• Makes the color extremely vibrant
• Good staying power
• Tends to crease into lines
• Bad smell
• Not very hygenic packaging, but is very tiny and travel friendly
• Tends to stuck on your nails when you take the product
• How much: the official price is USD 7 or IDR 165K. But are sold in many online stores with variable prices.

Girls Mind & Alleria Giveaway

Post kali ini bukan mau membahas produk atau tutorial, tapi dalam rangka meramaikan kontes kolaborasi yang diadakan oleh dua teman saya dari Indonesian Beauty Blogger: Martalina Tesya dan Anggie Lorita Irianto.

 

 

 

Kalo boleh jujur, agak malas pula aku ikutan giveaway atau kontes-kontes macam ini, bau sekali tanganku ini kalau untuk urusan kontes atau giveaway, tak pernah menang. Satu-satunya kontes yang pernah aku menangi hanya sebuah lomba pidato waktu aku masih umur 7 tahun, itupun tingkat RT. Jadi hmmm, agak diragukan pula kredibilitasnya.

 

Ya sudahlah, mari kita bahas post ini saja. Ada tiga jenis pemenang yang akan dipilih nantinya dari kontes ini, yaitu berdasarkan eye makeup, lip art, dan blog post terbaik. Aku pilihlah lip art saja. Kenapa lip art? Karena untuk eye makeup, saingannya pasti berat kayak batu, dan agak runyam pula sebenarnya bikin eye makeup itu. Harus pasang softlens, pakai eyeshadow, bulu mata palsu, dan eyeliner. Belum lagi proses menghapusnya, ah... runyam. Sungguh runyam. Kemudian untuk blog post, malas ah. Aku bukan orang yang pandai merangkai kata-kata cantik untuk sebuah blog post. Suka semaunya sendiri aja. Jadi ya, aku pilihlah kategori lip art saja.

Lip Art No. 1

 

Yang ini diambil dari Lip Art Anggie yang berjudul Pinky Zebra. Buatan Anggie warnanya jauh lebih ngepink dari ini. Bikinanku ini juga warna aslinya dangdut banget, tapi kok yaaa pas difoto jadinya malah soft pink gini. Huhuhuhu...

 

 

Abused tools for this look:

Yang ini hasil kreasi Lina berjudul Little Zebra. Fotonya agak kurang jelas pas di bagian atas bibirnya, jadi ya aku berimprovisasi dikit, sesuai pemahaman mataku hehehe. Maaf ya...

Comic Make Up Collaboration

Selamat datang,

 

Kali ini.... mmm, aduh bosen deh mengawali blog post dengan kata-kata "KALI INI". Apa ya enaknya?

 

Ok, ganti.

 

Dalam kesempatan yang berbahagia ini (hahaha) saya bersama dua orang teman di IBB mempersembahkan sebuah kolaborasi makeup dengan tema yang sangat warna-warni:

 

COMIC MAKEUP

 

 Yang kami maksud dengan Comic Makeup di sini adalah tampilan stereotype cewek-cewek yang banyak berseliweran di komik terbitan Amerika Serikat tahun 1960-an hingga sekarang. Marvel everyone?

 

 

Mungkin ada yang beranggapan kalo makeup kami di sini adalah khas Pop Art, tapi aku lebih suka menyebutnya dengan makeup komik ketimbang Pop Art. Pop Art sendiri maknanya luas, gak terpatok di satu jenis kultur, dan tampilan khas komik disini hanyalah salah satu dari banyak elemen Pop Art.

 

Okeh, sekian chit-chat gak pentingnya. This is a beauty blog, not an art book. Jadi mari kita bahas makeupnya aja.

 

 

Untuk bisa lihat hasil karya teman-temanku yang lain, kamu boleh cek di sini:

 

Edelyne

Rere Dini

 

 

Ini hasil karyaku. Walaupun hasilnya seadanya dan belom bagus-bagus amat, tapi tetap saja, ini hasil karyaku. Susah bikinnya soalnya hehehe.

 

 

Gambar di atas adalah foto yang sudah aku edit, biar lebih dapet nuansa komiknya.

 

Dan ini hasil foto aslinya sebelum diedit:

 

Maap kalo banyak yang kurang rapi, terutama yang di pipi. Susah bo ngeliriknya!

 

Makeup komik itu sebetulnya identik dengan bintik-bintik di wajah berwarna merah atau putih. Tapi aku nggak suka mukaku dititik-titikin begitu, kayak cacar jadinya. Hahaha... Namun setelah makeup baru setengah jadi, kok kayaknya jadi kurang nendang efek komiknya, jadi aku tetep tambahin bintik-bintik meskipun gak di seluruh muka.

 

Kunci dari makeup model begini adalah, gak usah di blend. Kasar aja. Dan juga, untuk daerah-daerah di wajahmu yang biasanya kamu beri kontur, coba ganti dengan memberi garis hitam. Seperti tulang pipi, dagu, rahang, pinggiran hidung, tulang hidung, dan lubang hidung (iye bro, lobangnya juga diwarnain). Untuk alis buatlah se"kartun" mungkin. Kalo biasa gambar kartun, pasti tau deh. Hehehe...

 

Yaudah, silakan dinikmati spamming dari wajahku berikut. ^_^

 

Titik-titiknya banyak yang terhapus pada saat pemakaian jilbab.

 

 

 

Sorry, I had sooo much fun with the callouts. Teehee!

 

 

Kalo ini detil bibirnya. Gak persis sama sih dengan yang aku buat, tapi kurang lebih seperti ini lah close up looknya.

 

Abused tools:

• Max Factor Facefinity 3 in 1 Foundation
  Etude House Color Lips Fit RD301
• Maybelline Clear & Smooth Face Powder (Light)
• La Tulipe Body Paint (koneng, ireng, biru, abang)
• Snazaroo Face Paint (Clown White)

***

 

Sebenarnya beberapa waktu lalu aku pernah bikin Pop Art makeup juga, cuma beda tema, bukan komik. Tapi... apa ya, nggak tau deh. Muka lampu disko kali ya? Hahahah. Maap aku crop habis-habisan, lagi gak berjilbab soalnya.

 

 

Adonan dari makeup di atas adalah sebagai berikut:

• Biru: Body Paint La Tulipe
• Shocking Pink: Body Paint La Tulipe
• Black: Body Paint La Tulipe
• White: Snazaroo Face Paint
• Baby pink: La Tulipe shocking pink mix with Viva White Body Paint

 

Btw, jangan tanya gimana proses mmbersihkannya. Ampuuun, membuat frustasi sekali. Besoknya jerawat juga muncul atu biji. Yahhhelaah. Tapi gapapa deh, karena proses pembuatannya amat sangat menyenangkan.

Review: Max Factor Max Effect Gloss Cube (Wild Cherry No. 09)

I got this product for free by purchasing some items in its counter. Since it was free, I underestimated it a bit at first. Well, some brands just won't let go their good products for free just like that. But I guess I was wrong, let's find out why.

 

 

 

This beauty comes in a cube transparent container. Reminds me of Make Over Liquid Lip Color that I reviewed some time ago, don't you think?

 

 

 

 

 

Just found out that Max Factor is a part of P&G company. This product can last up to 6 months after opened. Unfortunately, the quantity, expiry date, and ingredient list are also missing in the packaging. However, this is what I found from its official website:

 

Dimethicone, Polyisobutene, Mica, Hydrogenated Polyisobutene, Calcium Sodium Borosilicate, Copernicia Cerifera Cera, Ethylhexyl Palmitate, Tocopherol, Sodium Hyaluronate, Butylene Glycol, Caprylyl Glycol, Hexylene Glycol, Phenoxyethanol, Parfum, Calcium Aluminum Borosilicate, Silica, Silica Dimethyl Silylate, Tin Oxide, Linalool, Geraniol, [+/- CI 15850, CI 19140, CI 77891, CI 77491, CI 77499, CI 77492, CI 42090, CI 45380, CI 75470]

 

 

 

 

My shade is No 09 or Wild Cherry. This is the darkest variant I found in the counter. There are 12 shades available. However, the shade availability might be different in some counries. I guess this shade is available in Asia only, perhaps? Luckily this dark red is the one you can find in Indonesia.

 

 

 

 

The applicator is a doe-foot one although it is more rounded than most applicator like this, not very pointy.

 

 

This is a blue toned red, just like its name taken from a blue toned red fruit. The shade is just so pretty that it would match to be applied as Korean gradient lips. Although Max Factor claim this as a lip gloss but the consistency is thick and solid, just like a liquid lipstick. There's a hint of fruity scent although just a bit, it's almost odorless, if I may say.

 

How it looked like on my lips in both lightings, used as gradient lips and full lips:

 

The finished look is creamy. A bit surprising though, considering this is a lip gloss, not liquid lipstick.

 

 

 

***

 

 

I didn't feel any drying sensation at all nor clumpy result even at the very end of day when I had to wipe this. It also not sticky and didn't feel heavy at all although the consistency is extremely thick, in fact it's sooo comfortable. When I apply this, it's very easy to achieve an even result. Once the liquid touched my lips, it absorbed just like that and it doesn't easily transfer, especialy to your teeth. It's also very long lasting even after I took a meal, it didn't fade much.

One thing I gotta tell you, this won't bleed to lines just like most liquid lip colorant with vibrant shades. So far this is the most comfortable lippie I've ever tried. I dare to compare this to several high end products I own like Dior, MUFE, and Lime Crime, and this product just beat them all in terms of formula, comfy, and staying power. Definitely worth buying.

 

Since I got this for free, I don't know how much it cost. But I guarantee that he price is almost the same with other drugstore products such as Revlon and Maybelline. I'm just not quite sure whether this is a lip cream, a lip gloss, or a liquid lipstick.

 

 

Verdicts:

• Wild Cherry is a vibrant vampire blue toned red
• Thick consistency
• None sticky formula
• Doesn't easily transfer
• Long lasting
• Doesn't clump
• Doesn't bleed into lines, so lip liner application is not necessary
• Doesn't dry my lips and quite hydrating
• Covers lips evenly and uniformly
• No expiry date, ingredient list, and quantity on the container

 Score:

5 out of 5

Oh, before I forgot, here's an example of my makeup play using this product to create gradient lips and add the bloody effect on some parts of the wounds. It'll only take 6 months before this product is expired, so why don't we make the use of it to the max? LOLs.
