Askmewhats Version: "Valentines Day" Look

A reader requested for a "Valentine's Day" look, I hope you like this :)

Valentine's Day...ahhh...Romance! I am actually a very romantic person, when I was 10yrs old, I read my first book "On Becoming a Woman" lol and I've read those Sweet Dreams pocketbooks and imagine my "knight in shining armor"... don't even say I'm corny, I'm sure everyone out there has their fair share of imagination! lol Admit it! :P

Anyways, I'm sure a lot of you have your own version of Valentine's Day look, I still have a lot on mind but hot pinks really should be part of the look! lol And colored lippie for that sexy pucker! :P
Here's my final look!



My Askmewhats Diagram :D
(I tried making it as simple as possible)



Step 1:

Apply any base you want, UDPP/TFSI/MAC paintpots etc.. In this look, I used MAC Soft Ochre as base. Using a smaller e/s brush and my 78pcs Digital Angel palette LOL, pat on the "hottest pink" color you want on your lid going a little above the crease.



Step 2:

Deepen outer crease and create a V using a blending/crease brush. I used Milani Dark Chocolate e/s color. Blend well. Add the color as you go on.




Continuation of Step 2:

If you feel the color is too dark on your outer V, blend in with MAC Amber Lights to create a bit of gold-brown look.



Step 3:

Highlight the brow bone and inner corner of the eye with any highlighting powder that's 2 colors lighter than your skin.



Step 4 & 5:

Apply 4U2 Glitz liquid eyeliner on the lash line, going for your desired thickness. Since I cannot use liquid liner on my waterline, I applied Urban Decay 24/7 liner in Bourbon (almost same color as the liquid liner) on the waterline.

Coat your lashes with P&J Curly Mascara in 02 Brown after you curl your lashes with an eyelash curler.




Final eye look :)
Single or not, you can definitely rock this look!




Both eyes
Who says only boys make you happy?

Make-up can! hahaha




And here are other products I've used
on the rest of my face!




Skin79 VIP Gold Collection BB Cream
Ellana Intensive Foundation in French Vanilla
using my ultimate fave EDM Flat Top Brush




Arezia blush in Pink
(I am honestly using the 2nd layer of the palette more, love the blush colors!
The mosaic highlighter and the pressed powder)


Apply moisturizer all over lips, I use Kiehl's No. 1 Lip balm
Top with 4U2 Instinct Matte Lipstick in 05


Flirt and you'll have your Valentine date :P
If you have special someone

Flirt ONLY to him lol!



Have a great Valentine's Day!
I personally think Valentine's should NOT only be the day of flowers and chocolates!

Make everyday a sweet romantic day ok?

Stay sweet, stay happy, stay loved!

From Malaysia With Love

When I started blogging, I also started learning about make-up and I realized a lot products are available out there and a lot of them are out of my reach!

I was reading a Seventeen magazine one day and I always make sure to check what make-up the cover model is using. I've seen a cute e/s called Bourjois. Bourjois is a French drugstore brand and I've seen a lot of my fellow bloggers talking about their products and your askmewhats can't really relate and if I can't relate? ....I get curious!

A wonderful fellow beauty blogger/friend/angel emailed me to tell me she'll be sending over some of her Bourjois e/s. When she said some..I was thinking 1 or 2 the max. After more than 2 weeks! I finally got the package from her..and I was so surprised with the wonderful gifts she sent me! Now I have more e/s to play with!

Thanks my dear Malaysian Friend *hugs*
I do appreciate the gift and what touched me more
is the little note from you


You know who you are.... *BIG HUGS*




La Femme e/s Quad
2 Milani e/s (L-R Golden Bronze and Rich Chocolate)
3 Bourjois e/s (L-R Bleu Surprenant, Beige Rose, Bleu Myosotis)



Of course!
What's the use of having e/s without swatches?
(I can't wait to use them! Experiment time!)



Are my eyes playing tricks on me?
these are MILANI!!!!




La Femme Quad
They look 'blah' on the quad
but when I swatched them... my mouth goes "O"




Ain't that pretty? I can see tiny specks of gold/shimmer
Love it!

I can't believe it! I had such long and tiring week and such sweet action done by this wonderful person really made my day! I forgot how tired I am and my wonderful hubby forgot how tired he is and took his camera right away to take photos of these lovely gifts!

My dear friend, you made me and my hubby happy!!!! Thanks!!!
