Tutorial: My Everyday (Soft) Makeup Look

Hello, everyone! Today I will show you how I did my everyday makeup, the soft one. I usually use this kinda look to go to the mall, or cafe, or anywhere in the afternoon. Because, this look is suitable for day-look. I love this look because, it is just simple, bright, and perfect for simple occasion. Usually, I only need 15 minutes to create this look. Are you excited? I AM. Because this is my first tutorial. *smile*

Let's start from the beginning..

Above:
Beauty Cream Nature Basic Concealer (review here)
ZA Eyes Vibrante E3 Eye Shadow
The Make Up Store Darkest Shadow Soft Matte Black Pencil Eyeliner
Rubotan Line Liquid Black Eyeliner
Maybelline The Magnum Volum Express Waterproof Mascara
Viva Black Eyebrow Pencil
NYX Eye/Eyebrow Pencil 906 White Pencil Eyeliner (review here)

Bottom:
Maybelline Clear Smooth Aqua Gel Foundation 12 Natural Foundation
Maybelline Clear Smooth Extra Natural Powder Foundation
Revlon Powder Blush 05 Berry Rich Blush On
Sylva Serene Coral Lipstick

These are the makeup tools. Simple one!

Step 1 and Step 2:
I put on concealer under my eye, and in other spot that I want to cover. After that I apply foundation around my face and my neck, just with my finger tip. 

Step 3:
I fill my eyebrow with black eyebrow pencil. I always use black one, because I think it really suits me. Don't you think? :p

Step 4:
I apply black pencil eyeliner along my upper line of my eye. It creates deeper look of the eye. Agree?

Step 5:
I apply soft pink color from the eye-shadow pallet on my eyelid until outer corner of my eye. It sparkles!

Step 6:
Then, apply the soft gold color on top the soft pink color.

Step 7:
 Then, I highlight my brow bone with sparkle white color to get brighter look.

Step 8:
After that, I apply black liquid eyeliner. I make a little wing. :)

Step 9 & 10:
Then, I apply black pencil eyeliner in the outer corner of my eye until half length of my eye. Then I continue applying white eyeliner until the inner corner of my eye. And I also apply white eyeliner in the inner corner of my eye to get brighter look. Then, I curl my lashes, and apply mascara. :)

Step 11 & 12:
I cover the whole look with powder foundation and blush my cheek. 

Step 13:
Last, I apply my soft pink lipstick! Voila... :)

So, what do you think? I really like this look. This is casual look, not too much, but still kinda has pretty look.

Review: Etude House Precious Mineral BB Cream All Day Strong

Hey, Ladies (and gentlemen)! Today I will review one of my beauty products that I shopped at my trip to Taiwan. It's BB cream. This is actually my first BB cream that I tried. And honestly, I'm not a big fan of BB Cream, but it's worth to try! :)

The product is from Etude House. It is Precious Mineral BB Cream All Day Strong. I choose this type because I am an active person so I need strong and long-lasting makeup. I usually use this BB cream after I use my concealer right under my eyes, and other spots that I want to cover. Not because this BB cream doesn't have good coverage, but it is just my 'makeup process' before I do the whole thing.

So, this BB cream has SPF 30/PA++, Anti-Wrinkle & Whitening, and Anti-Darkening. A lot huh? But, I heard information that face cream which has SPF in it doesn't go well with camera flash. Is it true? Well, you can see in the pictures below. :)

These are the packaging looks like.

This is the BB cream looks like on my skin.

I already applied Etude BB Cream on my face.

What I love?
  • The texture, not too creamy, and easy to blend.
  • Long lasting, 'stick' with your face.
  • Doesn't create face problems.
  • GOOD coverage.
  • Cute packaging.
  • I just use one pump for my whole face and neck.
  • It creates dewy and shiny looks.
What I hate?
  • Not so good with camera flash after long wear.
  • Easy to 'melt', so my suggestion is don't touch your face too much while using this BB cream.
Price?
  • IDR 165000 in Taiwan, in Indonesia it's over IDR 300000
Repurchased?
  • Yes, if I have trip to Taiwan, or Korea. :p
Recommended?
  • Yes
But honestly, I'm not a BB cream person. I just love to use regular face powder. Because, I don't really have skin to be covered to much. I just occasionally use this BB Cream for special occasion. So, ladies, what do you think about this product? Do you use this product too? Tell me what you think! You can comment or tweet me on @notjustbeauty
