Sleek Makeup Candy Palette

My Sleek Makeup Candy Palette is back in my hands again! I accidentally left it back in Jakarta last year, and my brother brought it back to Canada for me! Woohooo!!! So happy to have this Sleek Makeup Candy palette back to create many colorful looks.

So the inspiration behind this colorful look is actually a “Batik” top (worn in pictures below) I received yesterday from Sofia via my brother. My friend, Sofia from @Sophie_Tobelly, is an amazing fashion designer, and she actually created this top and sold it in her store. A big THANK YOU and shout out to Sofia!!! You guys should really check her out on Instagram (IG)! She also sent down a clutch she created, I posted it on my IG account so please do check it out and follow me on IG!

The top has several different colors like red, purple, white, and blue. I was going to use the blue from the palette, but it ended up being too chalky, so I changed it to green instead. I do love the end result, it almost has a watercolor feel to it. Should you decide to replicate this look, please do tag me on IG or add #kireimakeup.

MAC Viva Glam 1 Look #1

My friend, Elfa, and I went to Tex Saverio Trunk Show last week (photos on instagram). I did Elfa’s makeup, she wanted smoky eyes with red lips, and I actually loved how she looked. So, today I decided to recreate the makeup she wore, but twist it to suit me. I also wanted to use my the Original Viva Glam lipstick (MAC Viva Glam 1), so that look was perfect!

For the eyes, I decided to use my Sleek Makeup iDivine Storm palette since I wanted to do a warmer, coppery smoky eyes. I really seem to like a warmer, redder shades lately. Anyways, if you’re in Southeast Asia and want to purchase Sleek Makeup, you can do so with Luxola. Since this palette doesn’t have the names of each eyeshadow, I decided to number them for this post.

Eyes are prepped using Urban Decay Primer Potion.

How-to:

1. I applied no. 1 on the center of my eyelid using a flat eyeshadow brush.

2. Using the same flat eyeshadow brush, I applied no. 2 all over the eyelid.

3. Using a fluffy blending brush, I blended out the edge all the way to above the crease using shade no. 3

4. I applied no. 4 just on the outer V using a small crease brush.

5. Using a clean blending brush, I applied shade no. 5 under the brows.

6. I applied shade no. 2 along the lower lash line, and no. 6 just on the outer half using a small shader brush.

7. I lined my upper lash line using Kanebo Kate Super Sharp eyeliner, and on the waterline I used L’oreal Voluminous Smoldering eyeliner.

8. I applied a golden eyeshadow (above shade no. 3 – I forgot to add it) just on the inner corner of the eyes.

9. I filled my brows using Anastasia Brow Wiz in Medium Ash and Brunette. Also added Gwiyomi false eyelashes no. 18.

10. I applied Dior Star foundation on my face using CoverFX cream foundation brush.

Adding Color to Eye Makeup

Hello, everyone! I hoped you guys had a great Valentine’s and Family day weekend, yes? I had quite a blast this weekend, so I do wish that all of you had an awesome time too! I just want to let you guys know that I might not be able to update my blog this week. I’ll be traveling again, and if you want to find out where’s my next destination, follow me on Instagram!

For today’s post, I want to show you how you can add color to your eye makeup. I’ve done a “pop of color” tutorials throughout my blog – using eyeliner, on the inner corner, or on the lower lid. This time, I added the color on the outer part of my eyelid. I think it’s cute, and different, totally unexpected! This look would be great for those who would like to try out colored eyeshadow, but doesn’t want to go full on colors with it.

For the neutral shades, I used my Smashbox Full Exposure palette, but obviously you can use any palettes you’d like. In addition, for the face makeup, I actually used it to do my Highlight, Blush, Contour (bacon) post. So, head over there to find out how I contour my face.

Scroll all the way to the bottom to find out which products I’ve used for this post – this is a new thing I’m trying to do, so you don’t have to read the step-by-step list to figure out what I’m using.

How-to:

1. I applied MUFE Aqua Cream no. 13 on my eyelid using my finger. Then I buffed the cream eyeshadow out using a clean fluffy blending brush.

2. I applied M3 eyeshadow from Smashbox Full Exposure palette on my crease using a crease blending brush.

3. Using Sephora bullet crease brush, I applied M1 from Smashbox Full Exposure palette on the outer V, dragging it ever so slightly towards the crease.

4. Using a clean blending brush, I blended out any harsh edge.

5. I applied S3 from Smashbox Full Exposure palette on my eyelid using a flat eyeshadow brush.

6. Using a clean flat eyeshadow brush (I used UD eyeshadow brush), I applied Dragon Fly from Sleek Makeup Ultra Mattes V1 Brights next to M1. I patted this eyeshadow on the outer corner, carefully blending it towards S3.

7. I lined my waterline and tightline using L’oreal Voluminous Smoldering eyeliner.

8. I applied M1 on the outer part of the lower lid, and S3 on the inner part.

9. I curled my lashes and applied Buxom Lash mascara on both upper and lower lashes.

10. I filled in my brows using Anastasia Brow Wiz.

11. I applied CoverFX Cream foundation in G40 as base, G20 as highlight, and N110 as contour.

12. On my cheeks, I applied Maybelline Master Glaze in Make a Mauve.

13. I set my face using CoverFX Translucent Loose powder.

14. On my lips, I applied Clinique Chubby Stick lip pencil in Bountiful Blush.

Products used:

Eyes – Smashbox Full Exposure Palette in M3 (crease), M1 (outer V), S3 (eyelid); Sleek Makeup Ultra Mattes V1 Bright (Dragonfly); L’oreal Voluminous Smoldering eyeliner; Buxom Lash Mascara; Anastasia Brow Wiz in Brunette and Ash Blonde.

Wearable Purple Eye Makeup

How is everyone this week? It’s been really cold here in Canada! If you are anywhere in the colder region, keep yourself warm, yes?! Anyways, due to the cold gloomy weather, I wanted to create a look in which I incorporated a little bit of colour. I’ve decided to do a wearable purple eye makeup. It’s super simple and easy, you can use any colour of your liking on the crease. I chose purple just because I think it’ll look great on every eye colours.

The trick to this light colored eye makeup is to use a black mascara and eyeliner to tie the whole look together. Black mascara and eyeliner are a must with this look since the eyeshadows used in this tutorial is quite light, and I didn’t use any contour colour on the crease.

How-to:

1. I applied NYX jumbo eyeshadow pencil in Milk all over my eyelid using my finger.

2. Using a fluffy blending brush (or you can use a flat eyeshadow brush), I applied Bad Girl from Sleek Makeup Showstoppers palette all over the lid.

3. Using a clean fluffy crease brush, I applied MUFE purple eyeshadow no. 92 on the crease.

4. I blended the purple eyeshadow slightly using a clean blending brush, blending the eyeshadow upwards above the crease.

5. I created a winged eyeliner using an angled eyeliner brush and L’oreal Infallible Gel Lacquer Liner in Blackkest Black.

6. Using a clean angled eyeliner brush, I applied UD Faint eyeshadow along the lower lash line.

7. I also lined my waterline using MAC Chromagraphic pencil eyeliner in NC15.

8. I filled my brows using Anastasia Duo Brow Powder in Brunette.

9. I curled my lashes, and applied Clinique High Impact Mascara on both upper and lower lashes.

Feel free to add false eyelashes to make your eyes look more wide awake. I ran out of falsies, so I didn’t apply any.

10. On my face, I applied Smashbox Halo foundation all over using Sigma Flat Kabuki brush.

11. I applied MAC Pro Conceal/Correct palette in yellow corrector under my eyes, and on the bridge of my nose.

12. I lightly contour my face using MAC Skinfinish natural in Medium Deep.

13. I applied MAC Dainty blush on my cheeks.

14. On my lips, I applied Revlon Colorstay Ultimate Suede lipstick in Socialite, and added a few dabs of YSL Glossy Stain in Peche Cerra-Colla (27).

Sleek Makeup Showstoppers – Smoky Purple Tutorial

I’ve bought several Sleek Makeup iDivine palettes back when I was in Jakarta from Luxola website. I love the iDivine palettes, and have used some of the palettes regularly for my makeup job. Today, I want to showcase the Sleek Makeup Showstoppers palette since I haven’t do a tutorial using this palette yet.

I’ll try to do a review and swatches of the Sleek Makeup Showstoppers next time. I love the combination of sparkles, matte and shimmers in this palette. For today’s tutorial, I wanted to use some colors since I’ve been doing quite an earthy, brown, neutrals on my previous tutorials.

I’ve done a similar tutorial like this one using a more wearable color in my Pearlescent post. I love having the highlight in the center of the lid. It looks so gorgeous when you blink. You can obviously do this tutorial with any colors you like. I’ll try to do another tutorial using another color, something more wearable.

Anyways, let’s get to the tutorial!

How-to:

1. I applied Sparkle from Sleek Makeup Showstoppers palette on the outer corner, and the inner corner of my eyelid using a flat eyeshadow brush. I also applied the eyeshadow on the crease as well. Leave the center of the lid empty.

2. Using a clean flat eyeshadow brush, I applied Bad Girl eyeshadow from Sleek Makeup Showstoppers on the center of my eyelid.

3. Using a fluffy blending brush, I picked Oh So Special from the Showstoppers palette and applied it to the crease. Do it very lightly at first, and add more color if needed.

4. Using the flat eyeshadow from step 2, I blended out Bad Girl eyeshadow. Do not add anymore eyeshadow at this time. Just use whatever is left on the brush.

5. Using a small angled eyebrow brush, I applied Sparkle on the lower lid.

6. I created a cat eyeliner on the upper lash line using Kanebo Kate Super Sharp eyeliner.

7. I lined my waterline and tightline using L’oreal Voluminous Smoldering eyeliner.

8. I filled in my eyebrows using Anastasia Duo Brow Powder, and an angled eyeliner brush.

9. I applied L’oreal Carbon black mascara on both upper and lower lashes, then I applied false eyelashes (haphazardly because I was rushing…sorry).

10. I applied MUFE HD Foundation in 118 all over my face.

11. I applied Blush Horizon de Chanel on my cheeks.

12. On the lips, I applied MAC Whirl lip liner and then Revlon Socialite lipstick on top.

Sea Siren

I’m sooo sorry I’ve been missing for a while! First of all, my face has gotten better, but then I’ve gotten sick over on the weekend, continuing to the weekday. My July started out pretty awesome, eh? *sarcastic look*. Anyways, I was bored since I stayed in bed for couple days and so I made this look.

I wanted to actually unbox the June Beauty Treats box and posted it, but since I was very disappointed with the very late delivery and the products I received, I decided not to post it here. I’ve posted pictures of what I received on my Twitter, so feel free to check it out to see what’s in the box. I will not be renewing my subscription with them after this month. A few other bloggers have expressed similar disappointment as well.

Anyhow, this look is similar to my “Hint of Mint“, but instead of using a mint eyeshadow, I used a turquoise and a light green. I think it turns out to be very pretty. I feel that the light green really bring the whole combo together. It’s wearable if you dare to wear colors out. Very tropical! I used my Sleek Makeup palettes for this look since I want to play with the palettes some more.

Oh, I also played around with my nails on Monday, so if you haven’t seen it, go over to my Instagram to check it out.

How-to:

1. I applied Truffle from Sleek Makeup iDivine Sparkle 2 palette on the outer corner of my lid using a flat eyeshadow brush.

2. Using a MAC 239 (shader brush), I blended the color towards the inner part of the eyelid.

3. Repeat step 1 and 2 if necessary.

4. I used whatever was left on the flat eyeshadow brush from step 1 and applied it to the outer half of the lower lid.

5. Using a clean flat eyeshadow brush, I applied Green Iguana from the Sleek Makeup iDivine Snapshots palette on the inner part of the eyelid. I also applied this color in the middle of the lower lid.

6. I applied Kiwi Flower from the Sleek Makeup iDivine Snapshots palette on the tear duct area using a pencil brush as a highlighter.

7. Using MUFE Aqua Black and an angled eyeliner, I created a winged liner along my upper lash line.

8. I lined my waterline using L’oreal Voluminous Smoldering eyeliner.

9. I filled my brows in using MUFE Aqua Brow Gel and an angled eyebrow brush.

10. I curled my lashes and applied MUFE Smoky Lash mascara on my lashes.

11. For the face, I applied UD Naked foundation using a foundation brush.

12. I applied Benefit Dallas bronzer along the outside perimeter of my face.

13. On the cheeks, I applied MAC Peaches blush.

14. I filled my lips using L’oreal Colour Riche Lip Liner in Beyond Pink, and applied MUFE Rouge Artist Natural Lipstick in N39 (Soft Apricot).
