Tutorial: My Everyday (Dark) Makeup Look

Hey, everyone! I am so excited today because I will share my 2nd tutorial. *yeay* This is a simple one, like I promise you before, I will give makeup tutorial using Professional Cantik Manis Gel Eyeliner that I reviewed before. This makeup look is kind of smokey eyes but, it is more simple and easier! I usually use this kind of makeup to go out at night, to hang out with my friends, or other activity at night time. I found this look is very simple, and I got the inspiration from Hannah Cho, she is famous in Youtube not just because the beauty product review, but I love all her stuffs and thoughts! :)

Are you ready? Let's start from the beginning...

From left to right:

Eyelashes curler, cheek brush, small eye shadow brush, eyebrow brush, blend eyeshadow brush, gel eyeliner brush

Step 1 & 2:

I applied concealer under my eyes, and other spots that I want to cover. And I applied liquid foundation to get smoother and flawless look. Oh, before I did all that, I didn't forget to put on my face moisturizer.

(sorry for blur photo, I made a mistake!) 

Step 3:

I filled my eyebrow with black eyebrow pencil. And brush it to make it more natural.

Step 4:

I applied black pencil eyeliner in inner upper line of my eyes to get stronger look. (I always do this before I apply my eye makeup)

Step 5:

By using the same black pencil eyeliner, I marked my eyes way a little bit higher that my eyelid, because that's the spot where I will fill it with the gel eyeliner.

Step 6:

I filled my eyelid with gel eyeliner. Apply it slowly until the whole part under the mark. Don't worry about the rest of the black pencil mark.

This is my eye looks like when I open it.

Step 7:

I applied black eyeshadow on top the line that I made before. I used small eyeshadow brush.

Step 8:

I applied white glittery eyeshadow on top the black eyeshadow. I use the blend brush (the bigger one).

These are the colors that I use.

Step 9:

I lined my bottom line of my eye, from the outer corner to the middle with black pencil eyeliner. Then I smudge it.

Step 10:

I curled my top and bottom lashes, and applied mascara, thick one.

Step 11, 12, & 13:

I applied powder foundation, blush my cheek, and put on lipstick. VOILA!

THE RESULT:

 

So, what do you think about this tutorial? Ooo, this look suits for monolid eyes! :) I hope you like my tutorial. You can comment or tweet me @notjustbeauty. Or you can twitpic me with this look! I will be very excited if you are. :)

Review: Professional Cantik Manis Gel Eyeliner

Hello, everyone! Today I'll review a beauty product that I can't find in Indonesia, but the brand uses Indonesian language! Unique rite? I will review Professional Cantik Manis Gel Eyeliner. This is my first gel eyeliner actually (since I'm a new comer in beauty world). And I found this gel eyeliner in Hongkong. And the storekeeper said that this is the best seller one in one of  drugstores there. So, I bought it.

And I curious with the brand, I thought this is Indonesian brand tho! After that I googled it and I found that this is Japanese brand. I still don't know why Japan use Indonesian words for this brand. Anyone knows? :p But after all the history, I love this eyeliner, it is solid and I can wear for a long time. 

This is the packaging. I didn't lie rite? :p

It came along with the eyeliner brush.

This is the gel eyeliner looks like.

This is the gel eyeliner looks like when applied to my skin.

What I love?

• Solid, makes easy to apply.
• Waterproof, long wear.
• Not expensive at all!
• It creates very dark black.

What I hate?

• Kinda easy to harden, so I have to mix it with water.
• The eyeliner brush is not really good. :(

Price?

• Forgot! But definitely under IDR 100000

Repurchased?

• Yes, if I have trip to Hongkong. :p

Recommended?

• Of course!

If anyone know the history of this product, let me know! I mean, we should be proud as Indonesian to have our language used as Japan beauty product! Or perhaps anyone of you use this brand also? You may comment or tweet me @notjustbeauty. (ps: wait for my tutorial with this product!)

Thank you for reading, my readers. :*

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*

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 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... :)

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.

Left: without camera flash

Right: with camera flash 

         

After 5 hours using BB Cream.

Right: without camera flash

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. 

Thank you for reading, my readers. :)
