Summer Splash
This look today is one of my fav. summer makeup. It doesn’t matter where I am in the summer, somehow I always seem to resort back to this look. It’s very light and bright, and of course you can always eliminate some of the steps below to make it easier and to suit your own look. Most of the time, I only used the MAC Melon pigment on my lid with mascara, skipping the liner and the contour colors altogether.
Anyways, the 2nd look to this post used an orange lip liner. I don’t know where my orange lipstick is, so I only used the lip liner to fill my entire lip. Of course you can change the lips to whatever color you want, red, pink, or even nude. No rules, just fun playful makeup.
How-to:
1. Using a synthetic brush, I dipped the brush in water and then dipped it in MAC Melon pigment. I mixed it at the back of my hand to turn it into a paste form and applied this paste to my lid, and on the inner corner of the lower lid.
2. Using a shader brush, I applied MAC Bronze eyeshadow on the outer V and on the crease. I used whatever left on the brush and ran it through the lower lid.
3. Using a clean fluffy brush, I blended the crease to remove any harsh edge.
4. I applied Smashbox Deep Golden Brown on the outer corner, blending it inwards. I focused most of the color on the outer V of the lid.
5. Using whatever left on the brush, I applied it on the lower lid.
6. Using an angled eyeliner brush and MUFE Aqua Black, I created a winged liner along the upper lash line.
7. I lined my waterline using whatever product remained on the brush from step 6.
8. I curled my lashes and applied Maybelline Express Volume Turbo Boost mascara on both top and bottom lashes.
9. I filled my brows in using Shu Uemura Hard Formula 9 brow pencil.
10. I applied UD Naked foundation all over my face using a foundation brush.
11. I contoured my face using MAC Studio Tech in NW 55. (If you want to know how I contour my face, check out this post for powder contouring or here for cream contouring)
12. I applied MAC Peaches blush on the cheeks.
13a. For the lips, I applied YSL Pur Couture rouge no. 17 using a lip brush.
13b. For the orange lips, I lined and filled my lips using MAC Entertain Me lipliner.
Golden Bronze
This week is like my non-colorful week! Today’s look used Urban Decay Naked Palette, and it’s perfect for daytime and bridal makeup. It’s packed with bronze goodness. The colors are perfect for every eye-colors and skintones. Very flattering, very warm and it’s really easy to achieve this look.
I love wearing this look for the summer. It might look like it’s a lot, but once you complete the face, the eyes look pretty natural looking. It really do brighten up the face too. This is my fav. way of wearing bronze eyeshadow. You can immediately turn this makeup to a night look just by adding black liner along the upper lashline and waterline, turning it into a smoky look.

I wanted to do a pretty makeup, something that will be good for brides, or prom goers, or just for anyone who wants an extra something something..bahahahaha..anyways! I love how it ended up and I think this look is perfect for brides, if they don’t want anything too smoky.
Anyways, I love how I’ve been using UD Naked palette more lately. I think I might do more tutorials using the Naked and Naked 2 palettes. Also, how do you like my brows? I managed to fix it today.

Rosy
Today’s look is more on the softer, romantic, feminine colors. This look is great for first date, or for whoever wants a more natural look. Will work great on brides as well!
I also wanted my eyes to look bright and open, so I skipped the black liner on the waterline. Instead, I opted for a beige eyeliner. If you prefer a more darker version to this, feel free to substitute the dark shadow and eyeliner to black.
For this look, the focus is on the overall appearance. Nothing stands out too much, yet the whole look feels right and if done correctly, people will notice a subtle difference in your face but cannot put their finger why you look so great 😉
FYI, if you’d like to know how I contour, highlight and apply my blush come check the blog out tomorrow 😉
