TUTORIAL: RANDOM DECO NAIL

kay i'm a noob at this still,

but since chaitea asked... i shall make a tutorial on this.

so basically last week i went to daiso...

and LOL yeah i wanted to try blinging out my nails 

.____.

i don't think i ever will again...

i find it a nuisance when typing and for everyday activities 

but on to the tutorial we go!

Products Used:
- random bling nail stuff from daiso
- Sally Hansen Hard as Nails Xtreme Wear in Golden-I 485
- NYC Long Wearing Nail Enamel in Extra Shiny Top Coat 271

Step One: coat your nail with a gold nail polish then let it dry

Step Two: Taking the stringed beads, measure and cut it to your desired length.

Step Three: Apply glue to where you want to place the stringed beads (i changed my mind on how i wanted them)

Step Four: put dabs of glue where you want to place the bigger bling *try to keep them evenly spaced*

Step Five: RANDOMLY PLACE LITTLE BLING EVERYWHERE! jokes. place it in those awkward spaces and try to make it a pattern, it'll look a tad bit better than having everything crammed in a corner. then finish with a clear top coat.

NOW YOU KNOW HOW TO BLING OUT YOUR NAILS FROM A NOOB

SO GO TRY IT OUT!

TUTORIAL: ULZZANG EYE MAKEUP

What is ulzzang?

Basically means best face or good looking in korean.

ulzzang makeup is usually composed of big eyes

small high nose and small mouth also sharp jaw line.

and most of the time comes off as "innocent" looking.

a lot of times ulzzang DO  use editing programs to enhance or change their features.

such as slimmer jaw and smaller nose.

(but honestly you can do that with simply contouring which is what i did)

:] LOL i like to camwhore

FOUNDATION ROUTINE

 i have a combination of dry skin and oily skin,

which is a pain because my skin likes to break out during different seasons,

the worst seasons for me are winter and early spring

because it tends to be dry and cold which makes the dryer parts EVEN MORE DRY.

and i break out more on my "dry" areas than my oily. 

*I decided to do it in my room because the natural light actually shows my flaws better than*

the bathroom lighting

soo... let's get started.

the acne has been easing off, but last month i had a huge breakout.

leaving me with countless acne scars from my forehead down my jaw and chin.

basically it's like a round frame around my face.

or basically like this, red indicates the area

SO HERE ARE THE PRODUCTS I USE

DIY: How to make your curling iron into curling wand

Do you have a curling iron with that clamp?
don't you hate that awkward crease/bend it makes in your hair?
and do NOT want to spend any money on getting a new one?
well here's a very simple tutorial for you!

CAUTION: WEAR EYE PROTECTION

Step One: Taking your curing iron, take off the "resting" bar on the hinge. you should be able to take the bar off by lifting one side (of the bar) off one of the hinges, if you don't have the strength, get someone to do it for you.

Step Two: Take off the little "knob"s on the hinge. If it doesn't come off easily, use a screw driver or a flat thin object to pry it off.

Step Three: Take off the clamp, then you can finally reach the spring. using the right screwdriver or w.e, unscrew and remove the spring. YOU CAN CHOOSE TO LEAVE THE SCREW PART IN OR NOT.
*i left mine in because my screw wouldn't budge so i had to pry the spring out with pliers*

VOILA you have your curling wand without spending extra money!
Now have fun curling your hair :]

here's a tutorial of the inspired eye makeup.

 PRODUCTS USED

- Prestige Eye Pencil

-Kat Von D High Voltage Eye Primer in SKIN

- BH Cosmetics 120 Color Eyeshadow Palette 2nd Edition

- Maybelline Falsies Mascara

- Taiwanese Handmade Lashes

- Daiso Bottom Lashes

My Eyebrow Routine

One thing that I am actually extremely conscious about is my eyebrows.

Even if I am going out without makeup to see friends or anyone...

I need to do my eyebrows.

My eyebrows before I shaped them were horendous.

LIKE THEY WERE THICK AND NO SHAPE.

and they weren't long either... semi half ish.

The first time I did my brows I didn't do it professionally.

GRABBED A PAIR OF TWEEZERS AND PLUCKED AWAY.

^worst decision ever^

*IF YOU SHAPE YOUR EYEBROWS FOR FIRST TIME DO IT PROFESSIONALLY*

but you learn from mistakes and you get better at them.

Now I do my boyfriend's eyebrows too :D HAHA.

So there are proportions for eyebrows if you didn't know.

Basically to see where your eyebrows start use a pencil and line it:

The front of your eyebrows should be straight from your nose (white line)

Your arch should be a 45degree from your nose (light pink line)

And the end should be lined from the outer corner of your eye.

Geisha Inspired Eye Makeup

I've always thought geisha makeup is just beautiful,
especially how they pull off the red/dark pinks.

 of course I wouldn't wear like legit geisha like makeup,

but here's a wearable look and great for spring!

PRODUCTS USED

- Prestige Eye Pencil

- BH Cosmetics 120 Color Eyeshadow Palette 2nd Edition

- Maybelline Falsies Mascara
- Loreal Lineur Intense

- Taiwanese Handmade Lashes

* I didn't use a primer, because my primer makes the pinks too bright and harder to blend*

Step one: Taking a light peachy pink and apply it to the entire lid [or colour 1 in the photo below]

incase you don't get again, it's pretty much the same thing every time LOL

Step Two: Take a red like pink and apply to the outer part of your lid and crease. [COLOUR 2]

Step Three: Take bright dark pink and apply it on your lower lash line, having it thicker is fine because you are not lining your lashline. [COLOUR 3]

Step Four: Take a light shimmery white/gold eyeshadow and apply to your inner corners of your eyes [COLOUR FOUR]

Step Five: Tight line your upper waterline with a pencil liner and set with a matte black eyeshadow.

Step Six: Line your upper lid with a liquid eyeliner, make it thin and extend it slightly horizontally.

Step Seven: Apply a pair of natural looking false eyelashes or/and mascara. * OPTIONAL *

!AND YOU ARE DONE!

*sorry for not posting a full face photo because my bf says it looks like i'm naked so LOL
