Tip for the Day: "Awake" Look


Don't you hate it when in the middle of the day, your eyes look tired?


Ever use eyeliner on the waterline and found it transferred on your under eye area thus giving a "Panda" look?


Do you keep on retouching your powder or powder foundation for the whole day thus giving you a "mask" look?

**all 3 photos above taken from respective websites found on google

I've said "yes" to all 3 questions above but that's a thing in the past!  I've found a quick and easy solution to help solve the problems above!  Want to know how?

Send $100 directly to my bank.  No payment ... no answers!

JUST JOKING!  *laughs*

I am quite easy to please, just show me that gorgeous smile of yours and we're all set! =D

All you need ---
1. Your preferred powder foundation (pressed or loose)


2. Windshield Wiper Brush (any dupe similar to MAC's 224)


Instead of using a sponge or huge brush to retouch in the middle of the day, I suggest you use the wiper brush to gently swipe on areas needed for retouch.

1. Under the eye area


2. Sides of the nose



3. If your eyelids get a bit oily, you can retouch using this method.


Voila!  Instead retouch minus the heavy feel.  Of course!  An added "huge smile" will bring in that healthy "glow" your face needs!

Hope my simple Tip for the Day works and helps most of you readers out there who asks me on the right way to do a "fresh faced" look that lasts the whole day!

If you want to create a "brightened" look all over your face!  You can check out August issue of OK! Magazine and there's a wonderful 2 page article on "Brighten Up!"


I have to share the look of the cover!  This month's OK! gives you an inside look on what is it like to grow up famous.  Natalie portman, Brooke Shiels, Jodie Foster and Neil Patrick Harris have grown up in a healthy sense of sel and of reality, despite living in the surreal world of Hollywood.  Now the question is: how will this generation of celebrity kids like Suri Cruise and Shiloh Jolie-Pitt turn out to be? We'll see...


For now, let's not think about how our lives will be if we're famous in Hollywood.  Let's just take one step at a time to enjoy life to the fullest, in an ordinary yet EXTRA-ordinary way!

Keep smilin'
Stay happy!
