From Sweet to Glamorous

Hello dearies!
Just imagine you have to work or school in the day and you have a party at night, but you have no time to go back home and prepare. It is impossible to pack your entire make-up collection into your bag, and anyway you won't have time to re-do your make-up too. What should you do?

Today I am going to share with you how to transform yourself from a sweetie pie in the day, to a glamorous party queen for the night in 5 min. This post is inspired by my favourite beauty guru, Bubzbeauty.

The main tool I will be using is a basic 4 shades eye shadow palette No. 3 from 1028.

I am using my 5 points eye make-up guide here to create the 2 looks. Yes! I only need 4 shades.


Ok Here we go!
I have done my base make-up and I will move on to my eye makeup.

1. Eye Primer - To keep the eye make-up more lasting
I am using Proof 10 eye primer from Etude House

2. Apply the neutral brown colour at the outter eyelid.

3 Apply the pearly eye shadow at the inner eyelid. I applied this after the outer eyelid because I don't want the brown to overpower this nice pearly shade.

4. Using a Copper brown gel pencil liner, I created a shadow to enlarge my eye at my outer lower lash line, and I smudged it using the convenience built-in smudge tip. I am using the Extreme Waterproof Eyeliner Pen from 1028, you can catch my review on this amazing product here.

5. Using the same gel pencil liner, draw your regular eye liner.

6. Create the innocent pair of eyes by highlighting the inner corner of your eyes. I am using a golden shimming eye shadow.

7. Almost there! Winged your lashes with your favourite mascara and I am using the Big Eyes! Magnifier mascara from 1028. Very lightweight and long lasting!

8. Blushes! Don't forget this!

9. Last but not least, the lips. I noticed a lot of ladies actually missed this out because the lips colour wear off easily and its troublesome to keep on touching up. But the colour of your lips actually help bring out the blush of our complexion, looking more fresh and alive.

For this look, I created a soft gradient on my lips by tabbing a sweet pink lip stick only on the center of my lips, then blending the sides off with a nude lip gloss.

And yea! We got it! That's my final result:

Alright, lets now get ready for the party at night!
Your 5 min starts now! I am going to add on to the makeup I had for the day, just touch up with some loose powder and we are ready to go.

1. Used the darker brown eye shadow, apply to the entire eye lid, Go light at the inner lid, concentrate on the outer lid.

Switch to a brush with a sharper tip
- Because the area at the inner lid is smaller, use a smaller brush like I did.
- Sharpen the end tip to make the look more elegant
- Extend the colour at the upper lid, and join to the lower lash line. The brown we applied for the day will blend well with the upper lid to create a soft cat eye.

2. Use the golden shimming eye shadow, highlight the brow bone

3. Darken and extend the eye liner. I am using Bobbi Brown potted gel eye liner Black.

4. Apply something red for the lips. It's wide and Sexy time!

And we got the final look!

And yea! So we are done with the transformation! If you are wondering what I am talking about the upper eyelid, inner corner, brow bone and stuffs, do check out my earlier post on my easy 5 points eye make-up guide here.

fyi, I am using the Dual Eyes brush by bubzbeauty.

Thank you for staying with me.
Have a great Friday!!

Review: 1028 WATERPROOF EXTREME EYELINER PEN!

Sponsored Post

I have to be honest that I was completely new to 1028 Visual Therapy previously. It is only recently that a good friend of mine introduced me to the friendly 1028 team, and I was given the chance to try out their products and provide my honest feedback.

The brand 1028 is a Taiwanese drugstore brand that produce "Skin Care Cosmetics", a way to infuse skincare essence into cosmetics. So while we are looking good, our skin is also feeling good. Long hours of makeup is harmful to our skin, so we have to be cautious in selecting our face products.

Of all the products I tried, my favourite is the WATERPROOF EXTREME EYELINER PEN; a gel pencil liner.
My exceptions of an awesome eyeliner are WATERPROOF, SMUDGE PROOF and LONG LASTING. And I am so glad to have found this eyeliner pen from 1028, which matched all my 3 exceptions. This liner also contains natural essence such as jojoba seed oil and avocado oil to moisturize and protect our eyelids.


I got their latest colour: Copper,this eyeliner only comes in Brown and Black previously.
I've compared the copper colour with the common brown we see in the market.


I did a smudge proof test for the liner.
To note: I did not apply anything else on my hand and I applied a thick layer of liner about 5-6 stokes.


Not complete dried.
Then... I waited for a while more and did the test again.


Totally clean!

I continued with the Waterproof Test



Totally clean!

The 1028 Extreme Eyeliner Pen comes with a built-in sharpener and smudge tip, very convenience to use.



I am really loving this eye liner, it is so easy to use to create the different looks to suit my mood.



Review summary
Pros

• Super smudge-proof, waterproof and long-lasting, very suitable for summer and humid weather.
• Easy removal using eye make-up removal.
• Smooth, rich and even application. Easy to control to create the look we want.
• Built-in sharpener and smudge tip, very convenience. Good choice for staycation and holiday when we have limited space in the bag.
• Not just a make-up tool, also contain essence like jojoba seed oil and avocado oil to moisturize and protect our eyelids.
• Comes in 3 pretty shades, personally suggest the Copper one.
• Very very price friendly at $14.90 each.

Cons

• This liner pen may takes a bit more time to be completely dried, But after its completed dried, it works wonder.
• I think this is a Con for ALL gelish liner pen: Sharpening. I just feel that its wasteful to sharpen it, but we cannot avoid doing so when we want to have the sharp tips.

1028 Visual Therapy has lot of other great products, you can visit their Facebook for latest updates!
Their products can be found in most SaSa, Watson and John Little or their e-stores at Qoo10 1028 Official and 1028sg.com!

Till next time!

Quick Eye Shadow Guide

I only started to get the hold of eye shadows blending in recent years. I was a noob then, I knew nothing about blending the eye colours. My eyes will usually end up looking more puffy or even smaller. The eye colours don't stay long too because of my oily eyelids.

I am no beauty expert, but I believed I have improved a lot overtimes. At least now I know when, how and what to apply and blend on my eyes to let them stand out, looking awake, fresh and of cos, PRETTY!

How I pick up is actually to learn the different areas of our eyes and understand the effects of applying certain colours. Once I understand what the different areas say about the entire eye makeup, I can start creating different looks for all occasions.

I think it will be useful to share my little guide with you, and hope it can help to ease your make-up worries, don't be like me in the past.

I will also like to stress that this is only a basic guide, there are many other ways to do your eye makeup. I collected these tips from videos and readings on the net and TV.

For the start, I've divided the eye make-up into 5 points below:

Some quick notes for the 5 points =)

There is no need to do your make-up in the sequence. It's up to you as long as you feel good. Anyway the main purpose for this guide is also to make you feel confidence! Its Your call!

I've did a a simple step-by-step demo based on the 5 points explained above. Hope it can become your easy, quick and sharp eye make-up remedy =)

-------------------------------------------

Here we go!

Tool of the day: An all time favourite basic brown shades eye shadow palette  

NOTE: Don't over-apply to your nose bridge!

When done, finished up the make-up with your favourite eye liner and mascara!

And this will be your final look!
A Daily simple and clean look =)

This make-up guide works for almost all kinds of looks. Following the 5 points, and you can start playing with the colours to suit your dressings, moods and occasions!

Hope you like it.
Till then!
