Before & After Makeup. So What?

Hello lovely readers! Finally I'm back to the blogosphere after the MIA for one week. All the midterm exams are finally over, but there will still be assignment deadlines, presentations and final exam ahead. They say time flies when you're on the run. 2011 is going to end real soon in two days' time and 2012 is approaching closer and closer. Happy new year in advance? LOL. Seriously I don't know how to start my blog post with a bang. Kinda lack of ideas and creativity to blog now because I start feeling sleepy in this chilly weather...

So, let's get straight to the point? ;)

Yours truly. Before and after.

This entry is inspired by Ling Luan NiNi （灵鸾妮妮）, the famous Weibo & Tao Bao make up artist from China. If you don't know about her, you can see her amazing make up skill here:



I have been noticing people sharing her makeup tutorial photos on Facebook. Most of them are amazed at how different she looks before and after makeup. However, there are also quite a lot of offensive comments, especially from guys. For example...

"OMG girls are so fake nowadays!"

What's wrong with you guys? Is there anything wrong if she only look attractive after putting on makeup?!

" *Tag his girlfriend's name here* Please don't be like her! So scary!"

WHAT??? SCARY??? If there is no difference before and after, then WHAT IS THE POINT FOR WOMEN TO MAKEUP?!

"This is why makeup should be banned!"

WTF?! This comment totally sums up the attitude towards women with makeup from an extremist.

Guys, if you are looking for girls with flawless complexion, innocent eyes and naturally soft pink lips without wearing any makeup or cosmetic circle lens, I suggest that perhaps you should go back to your kindergarten? For those girls who are naturally good looking, the physical beauty is a gift of God to them. However, I believe that makeup is a gift from heaven to every woman. Not every woman can look glamorous without make up. If it's a norm for short girls wearing heels to make themselves look taller, then why not for those who makeup to make themselves look better?



Inspiring by Ling Luan NiNi's "Forever 18 Girly Younger Look' makeup tutorial which you can refer here, I have done a much simpler makeup tutorial for this entry. Hope this entry will be a useful tip for the beginners! :)

Me in the morning with messy and frizzy hair + nerdy look w/o cosmetic lens -____-

And makeup-free face with awful acne scars which I hate hate hate hate hate it!

First of all, the basics:

Products used: ZA Power Block UV Sunscreen, Beauty Credit Lovely Green Tea BB Cream,
ZA concealer & KATE Shimmer Loose Powder


After applying sunscreen and with Barbie lens on.

Apply this small amount of BB cream evenly on each side of the cheek.

Most of the time, I use my fingers to apply makeup because I don't have any makeup brushes.

Apply several dots of concealer on the dark eyes circles, nose wings & lip corners. NEVER RUB the concealer, ALWAYS TAP it on the necessary areas. I always fail to squeeze the concealer for the right amount, so I will apply those excessive concealer on my acne scars as well.

Loose powder is a MUST after foundation / BB cream because it set the makeup by reducing shine on the face and giving a matte finish look. I always twist and dab the powder puff as shown in the picture above to remove the excess powder on the puff.

Press the powder slowly and gently on the face.


CANMAKE Cheek & Cheek #01 & #04


After applying the baby pink blush. Not looking obvious in the photo because of the lighting.

Not to forget, use the pearl glitter powder to highlight the nose bridge.
This will make your nose to look taller and more prominent.

Secondly, the eye makeup.

Products used: Eyelash curler, L'oreal Double Extension au Serum Re-activant,
Fasio Power Stay Mascara & KATE reflect mirror eye shadow

I am using KATE dark brown eye shadow to draw my eyeliner with uplifted corner at the edge.



Suddenly comes out the idea with this GIF when sorting the photos :P

Highlight the inner corner of my eyes with KATE glittery pink palette but the colour looks more like silver white glitter.

Curl the lashes. Hold the curler upright for around 10 seconds.
Rub the fingertips and cover it over the lashes to create a warm 'perming' effect.

After curling the lashes, use the serum re-activant on the left side of L'oreal Double Extension Mascara to extend your lashes longer.

Using my favourite Fasio Power Stay mascara in this pic. It's been the only mascara that doesn't clump and smudge so far, if compared to other brands I've used before such as L'oreal Double Extension mascara and Maybelline Volume Express.

Transparent root falsies are highly recommended as it look much more natural than normal falsies.
I usually trim the fake lash into half as shown in the picture above.

Stick the partial lashes on the outer corner of the eyelids.
I personally think that it looks better than sticking full set of the lashes.

The result:

Lastly, the lips.

I'm using Maybelline Cranberry Jam lip balm for this entry. I have never used lip gloss as I really hate its sticky texture.
Alternatively, you can choose lipstick for a longer lasting colour on your lips.

The final outcome ♥ ♥ ♥ ♥

I curled the lower end of my hair in this pic. No more messy auntie hairstyle :P

Before & after. Hope you will like both version of me? ;)


HAPPY NEW YEAR EVERYONE!!!

♥ XOXO ♥

我可能不會愛你？我怎麼可能，不會愛你！

我不喜欢看台湾偶像剧，但是最近不小心迷上了這部《我可能不會愛你》。

如果你看了，你就会知道《我可能不会爱你》跟其他的偶像剧真的不一样。

劇情完全沒有一貫偶像劇的白爛，除了本來就很喜歡林依晨的演繹方式，另外這部戲還有很多很多我喜歡的地方。

故事情節什麽的我就省略了，反正那些google一下都會有。我就說說這部戲裏面讓我大愛的幾個理由吧 :)

Tuzki Philosophy

I feel so bad to realise that I only have one entry in July and that entry is not even a proper update. After this post, there'll only be two entries in July and soon after that, August will arrive! Time really flies so fast without anyone even noticing. I'm not gonna to frown about those ASS-ignments this time. I want to share about my current favourite comic character with you guys, the TUZKI!




A little intro about Tuzki 兔斯基:
It's a popular character created by the China blogger, MoMo Wang who loves to record her inspirations and feelings by drawing them. She uses simple black and white line to draw a bunny to illustrates her expression of feelings and thoughts in life.

I love Tuzki because I always feel like I can't agree more with the life philosophy illustrates by this character. The illustration of life by Tuzki always fits exactly with what's on my mind, especially the unique thoughts and hidden emotions that it delivers to me. You must read Tuzki's comics because you might feel the same way with me too :)

如果沒有光，那就點一盞燈
If there's no light, then lit a lamp.

如果沒有門，那就開一扇窗
If there's no door, then open a window.

如果沒有路，那就搭一座橋
If there's no road, then build a bridge.

如果沒有奇跡發生，那麼就去創造一個
If there's no miracle, then create one.


總說實話的好處是，偶然說一次謊，也沒有人會發現。
The advantage of always telling the truth is, nobody will find out your occasional lie.

總說謊話的壞處是，即使改說實話，也沒有人會相信。
The disadvantage of always telling the lies is, nobody will take your word for it even when you tell the truth.


如果我們沒可能在一起，那麼就說明我們沒有緣分
If that's impossible for us to attach to each other, so that means we are not fated.


如果我們沒有緣分，那麼不能在一起也就沒什麼可惜的。
If we are not fated, then there will be nothing to regret if we are not meant to be together.



如果你自己都不珍惜你自己，那別人就更不會珍惜。
If you don't even cherish yourself, then the others will not cherish you even more.


嫉妒是一把刀
Jealousy is a knife


最後不是插在別人身上，就是插進自己心裡。
Eventually it's either stabbed the others or stabbed in your heart.


自己不喜歡的東西，別人也不一定會喜歡。
Do not do onto others what you would not have them do onto you.



Hope you don't mind on the bad translation with my limited vocabulary.

Just a sharing post, bye :)
