Askmewhats Report: Basement Academy Day 3

Day 3, I hope you gals are not hating my makeup school post! LOL I've been super busy lately but rest assure! Regular blogging will continue after Wednesday! Yes, last day of my class is this coming Wednesday!

Things we discussed today:

Blush Effects

I'm glad it was the same tricks and tips I talked about on my previous post, do smile and click here.

Lip Effects

darker lipcolor - makes the lips smaller
lighter lipcolor (shimmery, frosted, glossy) - makes the lips bigger and fuller

So, are you into masking your lips like me? Or want fuller lips like Angelina Jolie? :D

Eyebrow Shaping

Eyebrow shaping is also discussed as this is one important key to enhance one's look. Everybody has our own version of a perfect brow, drawing a brow shape in a blank canvass is hard I tell ya! I will definitely share some tips on how I do my brows soon!

Makeup Look ---
ONE TONE Smokey Eyes

This is one of the harder class for me because I've always thought the lesser color used for eye makeup makes it easier for application. I did say I'm not always right, right?

What is a One Tone Smokey Eye?

One tone means using a single color e/s to create dimension of colors. The way to apply this is using "vertical" motion to achieve a "smoked" effect. It sounds easy, but needs a lot of patience!
