Hint: Click to enlarge! 🙂 I created this look using the eyeshadow quad that was part of the maybelline goody bag we got last week! I absolutely Love it! Smoky Indigo Surprisingly it was quite pigmented and easily blended! The step by step guide that is on the back of the palette is great for those who are not familiar with colour placement and or just starting out with makeup. Brushes used (All Mac) 239 ~ Lid217 ~ Crease & Outer corner275 ~ Brow bone219 ~ Line & deepen lower eye lid224 ~ Blending! I used the L’Oreal super liner, Gosh Blank Ink eye liner and… Read More »

Those who know me, or have heard my rants about why my sister was blessed with the best lashes in the world, and not me, know I have tried almost every mascara under the sky…(I mean except for those ridiculously priced ones. Hey, I’m not rich…yet! ;)) …and so far I have found only a few that do it for my sad excuse of lashes! So i’m going to share these fab finds with you!

MakeUp Tutorial – My Qipao Inspired Look

BEAUTY
August 4 2009

Hey everyone! I felt like i needed to do a makeup tutorial because it’s been ages since i did one. I got inspiration from my Qipao, a traditional Chinese dress (Pronounced Chee-Pow). What serves as a worthy testament to the beauty of the Qipao is, it does not require the wearer to pep up the look with accessories like scarves and belts. It’s designed to show off the natural softness of the female form. I love learning about different cultures and traditions. With a world so big, there is always something to discover! Hopefully you will enjoy the tutorial and… Read More »
