Askmewhats Version: "Wispy Look"

Back to work! I'll be going to work for 2 days this week then off for holidays again. For the rest of you who doesn't know, it's the Lenten season! A lot of people will be off to their hometown or off for vacation so Manila will be "surprisingly" quiet! It's the best play to drive around Manila this time of the year.

I have done a look using MAC pigment. Yes, I am not a pigment user but if I want a look that has impact, I do go for pigments because it always comes out vibrant and lively! :)

Here's my final version :D



And of course

The Askmewhats Diagram



I've primed my lids with Too Faced Shadow Insurance (thanks Shen), then use CS White Gel Liner all over lids as the base for pigments. Apply the white gel liner with a taklon brush then spread the gel liner all over lids with fingers to even it out.


Step 1:

Using MAC242 brush or any flat shader brush that's made of taklon, pat on MAC pigment in Vintage Gold on lid area going right above the crease. Use patting motion.



Step 2:

Using MAC 217 brush or any blending brush, I applied Ulta's e/s in Galaxy (thanks Toma), or any glittery black e/s on the outer v. Blending inward.



Step 3:

Pat on Makeup Masala Mineral in Tuta, a bright goldish yellow color) on the center of the lid with patting motion. Blend all 3 colors together, adding the colors as you go on depending on your preference.

Step 4:

Using my Digital Angel's palette, I applied the matte nude e/s color on the browbone going to the inner corner of the eye sweeping as I go on making sure there's no harsh lines.


Step 5:

Using CS White Angled Liner, or any liner brush you're comfortable with, apply a black gel liner all over the upper lashline going for the lower lash line. I am using CS True Black gel liner on this look.


Step 6:

Apply MAC pigment in Vintage gold on the lower lashline. Using CS White Gel Liner, apply it on the inner V of the eye to make the eyes pop.


Apply falsies if desired!
I am using 017 falsies bought from Landmark
Used Ardell Lash glue
with my tweezer

Applied P&J curly mascara in Black



Fill in your brows!
Voila!
Final "wispy" look




And of course...
what's on the rest of my face?



For the Face


Paul & Joe Creamy Foundation no. 30
Paul & Joe Dual Powder Foundation no. 30


For the Cheeks



Contour and highlight
with
MAC Grand Duo in Light over Dark
78pcs palette 2nd blush color in Pink
on the apples of the cheeks


For the Lips



Line the lips with
MAC Ginger Root
MAC Viva Glam V


To make the lips pop


I applied a bit on the gold color
of Bath & Body Lip gloss

on the center of the lips

for 3D effect



And I'm saying HELLO to everyone!



And before I end this post, I want to add that on my CS Gel Liner in White post, some commented on wanting me to show them how to use the white gel liners for the eyes. I don't use them to line them all over my eyes. I use the White Gel Liner as ---

1. creamy base
2. line the waterline then top with eyeliner to make it last longer

3. use it on the inner corner of the eye for a wide awake look (just like photo below)



See how obvious the effect is?

It's even more effective
if you top it with a white e/s!




Hope i was able to answer the query of my readers!
and I hope this EOTD and FOTD brighten up your day! :)
Enjoy your day!
Keep smiling!

Stay happy!

  11. Citrine, I actually regret picking light over dark at first, I thought I was just sales-talked by the SA, I even wanted to return it, but after several uses, I came to love it and it works really good as blush and contour powder! All in one! I wanted the pink at first but the SA kept on telling me Light Over Dark works well on anybody!

    Jess, thank you for saying so! I appreciate that you like this version! I hope to do another favorite version of yours!

  31. Female_intuition , the detailed description takes a bit of time but it's worth it! thanks for the appreciation!

    Janine, happy Easter to you in advance too!!! Wow really, huge eyes? ME? I never thought I'll go into that category! :P

    Rasilla, so far, it doesn't stay too long, just an hour or so, but I always pat on black e/s on top of it, I only put gel liner on waterline if I'm off for a dark look!

    Aquaracer, NIKKI PRETTY! YAY!!! Can we add SEXY? LOL all 3 rhymes! hahahha I applied my pigments dry, I am too lazy to wet it and I think it's even more vibrant if I foiled it, I didn't and so far with the right brush and the right pressing, it works good not messy at all! :)

    NicNic, thanks! I never look good in overly dramatic look! :D

    ReplyDelete
  35. M, thanks! I like wispy lashes too! those are my faves and totally natural to look at!

  36. moiheartsmakeup, you like it? Naku, i'm sure you can pull off gold! I don't think I look good with silver..hmmm..I have to revisit silvers! thanks sis!

    Tine, I thought of lash extensions in the past but the idea of having it redone every month or something is a bit of a hassle for me..so I think I'll just go for falsies :)

    Gingerbee, actually it's not usual for us to follow PHilippine Holidays, we follow China Holidays only coz they are our client, but lucky lang this year! :) sorry you have to work the entire holy week! But I hope double pay?
