Tutorial: Green Eye Makeup Looks Using Sariayu Kelimutu Eyeshadow

Eyeshadow palette dari Sariayu ini berasal dari Kelimutu series. Gue lupa tahun berapa ini dikeluarin, gue gak peduli heheh. Yang jelas palet 3 warna ini adalah salah satu eyeshadow favorit gue, karena pigmentasinya yang oke dan kombinasi warnanya serasi banget.  Oh ya, ada satu lagi palet tiga warna yang warnanya mirip ini, kalo ga salah dari Make Over.

Palet ini pernah gue review beberapa waktu lalu di SINI ya.

Kali ini gue akan ngasi kalian ide menggunakan palet ini untuk dua jenis eye makeup yang berbeda. Yaaa, gak murni cuma warna dari palet ini sih, gue juga nambahin satu eyeshadow coklat tua dari NYX, tapi sifatnya optional. So, kalo kalian cuma mau pake palet ini pun ga masalah.

Yuk, kita mulai aja.

***

SMOKEY EYES

Gaya yang pertama ini sebenernya adalah yang paling basic dan paling banyak digunakan orang. Pokoknya waktu liat palet ini, maka style inilah yang pertama kali muncul di benak gue. Selain mata keliatan lebih besar, style ini bikin ujung mata gue keliatan lebih naik karena adanya penekanan warna gelap di ujung luar mata. Jadi buat yang punya mata slanted atau naik, kayaknya mending dihindari deh gaya ini. Kalo nggak, ntar keliatan tambah naik, yang berakibat bola mata keliatan juling. Kalopun maksa kepengen, gapapa sih, tapi eyeliner-nya jangan yang cat eyes.

Bentuk alismu lalu bubuhkan eye base di seluruh kelopak mata.

Dengan tappered blending brush, aplikasikan eyeshadow coklat tua di area lipatan mata seperti yang diilustrasikan pada gambar. Jangan lupa di blend. Step ini sebenarnya ga wajib, cuma dengan adanya warna coklat ini, nanti mata akan terlihat lebih terdefinisi dan gradasinya juga akan lebih bagus.

Aplikasikan warna biru muda pada tiga perempat bagian kelopak mata menggunakan tappered blending brush.

Bubuhkan si kuning pada sisa bagian kelopak mata.

Tambahkan sedikit aja warna biru tua pada area V. Lalu blend dengan biru mudanya.

Gambar garis mata dengan bentuk yang kalian inginkan.

Menggunakan pencil brush, tambahkan eyeshadow biru muda pada 3/4 bagian bawah mata.

Isi sisanya dengan eyeshado kuning menggunakan kuas eyeshadow kecil.

Garis waterline dengan eyeliner pencil warna putih dan bubuhkan maskara di bulu mata atas dan bawah.

Tempelkan bulu mata palsu kalau mau. Kalo gak ya gak usah. Buat kamu yang pake bulu mata palsu, setelah lem mengering, bubuhkan eyeshadow warna hitam dengan angled brush di atas eyeliner hitam tadi. Gunanya untuk menutupi lem yang tetap keliatan walaupun udah kering, sekaligus untuk lebih menegaskan garis mata yang kalian gambar sebelumnya.

Selesailah sudah.

Hasil akhirnya gini:

HALO EYE MAKEUP

Halo eye makeup biasanya menggunakan eyeshadow warna gelap pada bagian dalam dan luar mata, dan eyeshadow warna terang di bagian tengah mata, atau pas di atas bola mata. Biasanya malah ada yang suka nambahin glitter di tengah mata segala. Gak tau kenapa, tiap gue pake style ini, mata keliatan lebih cerah dibanding smokey eyes yang memberi kesan sendu-sendu ngehe.

Atau mungkin itu cuma perasaan gue aja.

Seperti biasa, gambar alis, lalu aplikasikan eyeshadow base.

Aplikasikan eyeshadow coklat tua lalu blend di area lipatan mata, menggunakan tappereed blending brush.

Bubuhkan eyeshadow biru muda di seluruh area kelopak mata, tapi sisakan sebagian kecil area di tengah kelopak mata.

Aplikasikan eyeshadow kuning di bagian yang kosong tadi.

Yang ini terserah mau apa ga. Menggunakan blending brush yang lebjh kecil, tambahkan eyeshadow biru tua di bagian dalam dan ujung kelopak mata, lalu blend dengan biru mudanya.

Garis matamu dengan bentuk eyeliner favorit masing-masing. Jepit bulu mata, beri maskara, lalu tempelkan bulu mata.

Sambil nunggu lem kering, bubuhkan eyeshadow biru di bagin bawah mata sebelah dalam dan luar, dan eyeshadow kuning di bagian tengahnya.

Garis waterline dengan eyeliner pencil warna putih lalu tambahkan maskara di bulu mata bawah.

Daaaan, ya udah gitu aja. Selesai!

Hasil akhir:

Product used:

• Sariayu Kelimutu Palette
• NYX Eyeshadow Base (White)
• NYX Single Eyeshadow in Brown
• NYX Retractable Eyeliner Pencil in White
• ELF Cream Eyeliner in Black
• Nobluk Softlenses in Grey
• Viva Eyebrow Pencil in Brown

Full face look dengan riasan mata smokey eyes.

Kalo ini halo eye makeup yang gue bikin beberapa bulan lalu, tanpa menggunakan eyeliner. Cocok buat kamu yang males pake eyeliner nih, cukup tempel bulu mata dengan ukuran yang agak lebay bohay, dan riasan mata dah langsung keliatan cetar menggelegar.

Sebenernya masih ada beberapa gaya yang muncul di benak gue dengan menggunakan palet ini, tapi dua dulu kayaknya cukup yak. Pedes juga ini mata bolak-balik melototin kaca ama blitz kamera. Kalo sempet nanti akan gue lanjutin ke jilid dua.

Selamat mencoba and good luck!

* buat yang baca post ini lalu sedikit pusing dengan layout gue yang acak-acakan (ada yang di tengah, ada yang di kiri) percayalah, gue juga pusing. Gak tau kenapa, udah bolak-balik dibetulin & di save, tapi kenapa balik berantakan lagiiii.

Tutorial: Golden Cut Crease Eye Make Up

Hallo!

Tutorial ini gue bikin bukan atas request siapa-siapa. Ya emang gue aja yang ke-geer-an pengen bikin, selain karena emang lagi ga mood juga buat review produk. Jadi buat kalian yang pengen tahu gimana cara bikin cut crease seperti di gambar atas, silakan scroll terus sampe bawah ya..

Gambar alismu serapi mungkin lalu aplikasikan eye primer di seluruh kelopak mata.

Gambar garis di lipatan mata menggunakan gel eyeliner warna hitam, cukup kamu temukan ruang kosong di atas bola matamu. Di situ lah tempat yang tepat untuk menggambar garis ini.

 Bentuk garisnya suka-suka kamu aja. Bentuk yang umum adalah setengah lingkaran dan huruf 'S' seperti yang saya gambar di atas. 

Menggunakan blending brush kecil, aplikasikan eyeshadow coklat tua di atas garis tadi. Sambil dibaur juga ya supaya garisnya hilang dan menyatu dengan eyeshadow.

Biar lebih smooth, blend lagi dengan blending brush yang lebih besar sampai ke bagian tulang alis.

Karena setelah di blend warnanya akan sedikit pudar, aplikasikan lagi eyeshadow coklat tua (atau hitam kalo mau lebih cetar). 

*gue sering bolak-balik antara mengaplikasikan eyeshadow dan membaurnya lagi. Pokoknya sampe ketemu hasil yang diinginkan aja.

Aplikasikan eyeshadow krim warna putih dan dirapikan dengan kuas concealer. Di sini gue memakai NYX Jumbo Eye Pencil warna Milk. Kalo ga punya, bisa juga diganti dengan pensil eyeliner putih merk apa aja. Dan kalo udah pake pensil kecil mah, gak perlu pake kuas concealer lagi.

Aplikasikan eyeshadow warna bronze di seluruh kelopak mata. Sisakan seuprit ruang di bagian tengahnya.

Isi bagian tengah kelopak mata dengan eyeshadow warna gold. Jangan lupa di blend sehalus mungkin dengan warna bronze tadi.

Aplkasikan eyeliner dengan bentuk sesukamu. Di sini saya bikin bentuk model wing karena udah jadi reflek tangan saya. Hehehe. Tapi kalo males, digaris biasa aja juga cukup sih. Kan eyeshadow-nya udah heboh.

Pake bulu mata palsu. Kayaknya kalo cut crease model begini, kurang pantes kalo ga pake bulu mata palsu. Ntar hasilnya kebanting. Jadi saya gak bisa bilang ini optional, tapi wajib. 

Sebelum pake bulmat. Jangan lupa jepit bulmat asli kamu lalu aplikasikan maskara. Culunnya, di sini saya lupa melakukannya,

Untuk bagian bawah mata, aplikasikan eyeshadow warna coklat tua lalu tumpuk dengan eyeliner gel hitam. Kemudian smudge keduanya menggunakan pencil brush, or any brush you find suitable.

Aplikasikan eyeshadow silver di ujung dalam mata. Jangan lupa pake maskara di bulmat bagian bawah. Atau mau ditambahin bulmat palsu lagi pun boleh. Tapi waktu itu saya lagi males.

Tambahkan highlight di tulang alis kamu dengan eyeshadow warna putih pearly. Selesaid deh!

Hasil akhirnya kira-kira jadi begini bro:

Product used:

1. Maybelline The Nudes Palette
2. Etude House Easy Brow Pencil (Dark Brown)
3. ELF Cream Eyeliner in Black
4. Inez Loose Eyeshadow (Sparkling Silver) for the inner corner
5. NYX Jumbo Eye Pencil Milk
6. NYX Eyeshadow Base (White)
7. And some cheap unbranded lashes

I love cut crease eye makeup, karena dibanding smokey eyes, I think cut crease punya variasi gaya yang lebih banyak. Gaya cut crease di post ini adalah yang paling basic, warnanya pun gue pilih yang paling netral. Ada banyak variasi cut crease lain yang bisa kalian pilih sendiri, baik itu dari variasi bentuk garisnya, warna, bahkan sampe selebar apa cut crease yang kamu mau. Yang pasti riasan model begini bikin mata kamu keliatan ih gede banget,

Sebelum post ini gue akhiri, silakan diliat beberapa vaiasi cut crease yang pernah gue buat selama beberapa bulan terakhir. Pamer ceritanya. Eh iya, please ga usah heran kalo kalian menemukan banyak ketidakkonsistenan bentuk alis di gambar-gambar berikut. Karena kalo soal alis, keindahan bentuknya emang tergantung banget dari seberapa oke mood gue saat menggambarnya. Dan seberapa fit fisik gue hari itu.

Review: Maybelline The Nudes Palette

Maybelline The Nudes Palette was actually launched last year (if I'm not mistaken) and it felt like forever to wait until this finally launched in Indonesia a couple of months ago. Damn!

Maybelline The Nudes Palette comes in a black plastic packaging with a transparent lid, so you can see through all the 12 colors in it. Also included a dual ended sponge applicator. Too bad they don't include a decent mirror inside. I think instead of a transparent lid, they could have been replaced it with a mirror.

On the backside of the packaging you can see the ingredients list, which I didn't captured properly. My bad. It also configure several eyeshadow application, like a mini tutorial, from quds, trios, to duos. This is really helpful since the palettes have 12 similar tones and sometimes it just makes me confuse where to start, or what combination works best.

Like I said, it also included with a dual sponge applicator. I haven't used this sponge yet, but it seems pretty decent, judging from the its texture.

The color ranges from beiges, sands, taupes, to bronzes. Let's take a look at each color swatch from each row.

Note: I use very light hand to do the swatches using my fingertips with several swipes. I swatched it on bare hands and with an eye base. The base I use for this is Mizzu Eye Base Essentials. The review will be up soon.

Top: without eye base

Bottom: with Mizzu Eye Base

Top: without eye base
Bottom: with Mizzu Eye Base

1. This is a light champagne color with metallic finish. The pan is quite hard and the pigmentation kinda sucks even with eye base. But the metallic finish is so pretty and makes it the best color for highlighting the brow bones or even cheek bones.
2. A light taupe color with a soft shimmery finish. The pigmentation is ok and the eye base application doesn't make it any better.
3. A skintone color. As you can see this color is almost invisible since it matches my wrist tone perfectly, so I think this works best as a base color to neutralize your lid after wearing a white eye primer. This is a bit chalky but the pigmentation is pretty good.
4. Bronze. This is a very nice shimmery bronze with great pigmentation even without eye base. The pan also felt buttery.
5.  I think this color is exactly the same as color No. 2, but this one has a softer shimmery finish.
6. A dark taupe. Great pigmentation even without eyeshadow base. 
7. This one is like cousins with No. 2 and 5, but it has greater amount of shimmer which makes it look a little bit bronze. This one has a good pigmentation and buttery.
8. A perfect dark brown shade with cool undertone. It has soft shimmery finish. Buttery texture. Good pigmentation and even greater with eyeshadow base. This color is the gem!
9. This is gold tone with metallic finish. The pigmentation is ok and it has a hard texture. 
10. Dark brown with warm undertone and shimmery finish. Great pigmentation without eyebase and even greater with it. T must say this color is the most pigmented one in this palette. Truly a gem!
11. Champagne color with shimmery finish. The pigmentation is just ok and very powdery.
12. Supposed to be black but this actually looks like a very dark grey. Poor pigmentation although an eye base might help a little, very chalky, a bit streaky and hard to blend. The most disappointing shade.

****

None of the colors in Maybelline The Nudes Palette has a matte finish. They're all either metallic, shimmery, or satin. Although some shades tend to look matte because the shimmer is very soft. Only several shades deliver great pigmentation (No. 4, 6, 7, 8, and 9) and the rest are either okay or even chalky. I don't say that the colors with lesser pigmentation is not great either, they might work for those of you who wants subtle eye makeup for daily basis, instead of looking all bold.

Applying an eyeshadow primer/base is highly recommended as some shades are hard to blend and tend to wash out when I try to blend them. If primer is not enough, I would suggest to dip your brushes into a water or mixing liquid beforehand. The combination of wet brushes and eye primer is amazing, especially for chalky colors like No. 11 and 12.

So, overall, I can say I like this palette but can't love it since the quality is just so-so. But this is a drugstore brand and comparing this to UD palettes is just not fair. I must say this is a good palette for daily usage and for those of you who still learning to do your makeup on your own.

I forgot how much exactly this is, but I think I bought this for IDR 120K on Maybelline counter. 

Review: Lime Crime Velvetines in Faded

Despite many bad reviews regarding this brand, I just kept on buying more. Simply because I love how this product on my lips.This year, Lime Crime launched several new shades of their Velvetines series, and I can't wait to try them all. But my budget surely told me I really have to wait. 

Lime Crime Velvetines always comes with a frosted glass bottle and a flowery red box. This packaging is actually their latest design, not much different from the old ones.

I'm not so sure how many shades available now from this Velvetines series. I chose Faded as it has some soft purple shade, which is my favorite.

The applicator comes in a doe-foot shape but it's a bit longer compared to the old Velvetines. This new shape is more beneficial for me. There's also a hint of vanilla aroma that will fade gradually after the application.

For those of you who are not familiar yet with this product, it's actually a liquid lip stain that will end up matte after a few minutes.

Judging from the color inside the bottle, Faded looks so similar to Bleached and Cashmere, but when applied onto my wrist, turned out it was actually a muted purple that wearable for day and night. You just can't go wrong with this nude color.  Rather than thick and creamy, this product has a liquid and runny consistency.

Lime Crime Velvetines is a lip stain that quickly dry, it'll only take less than a minute before it dries completely. The formula is a lot better than the old version of Velvetines. It glieds smoothly and very pigmented. Once it dries, it won't budge all day, unless if you eat oily food. This also doesn't clump, felt lightweight, not sticky but powdery, and not drying at all. Compared to several similar products, Velvetines is the most enjoyable one. Not to mention its nice vanilla scent which is pretty amusing.

Although this one's not drying, I just won't suggest to use matte lip stain when your lips are over drying, or when you're not feeling well. I also try not to use matte lip stain every single day. Trust me, you'll have some issues. To remove the product from your lips, I also suggest to use your favorite lip scrub.

In Indonesia, for the time being (or maybe forever) Lime Crime Velvetines are available in online stores only. It originally cost USD 20 for 2 ml of product, but I bought this for IDR 350K in BeautyStore Nicula in Facebook. Price may vary.
