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!

My Haul Swatches!!!


These are all swatched 2 x , no base!

I'm glad that eventhough I chose everything online,
(which online buyers know how difficult it is)
I was able to make the right decision,
I love them all!!!
I want more ...more... more!!! LOL














and before I forget...here's something I just want to share, A lot of MAC Amber Lights user and Milani Sun Goddess user may have found this out But I just found out myself recently....



Milani Sun Goddess is a dupe of MAC Aber Lights.
Milani Sun Goddess is a bit lighter, but I found that when you pack on the color,
it'll get the same color payoff as the famous MAC Amber Lights!


I am so sorry for my Philippine readers, I'm not doing this on purpose to make us feel bad that these products aren't available to us. Just in case you've got friends/families who live in the US or who will be bringing back home some stuffs and you were asked what you wanted to buy, these are great products and won't make you work overtime just to pay them back! LOL

The Haul that I've been Waiting For....

My friend Jals from high school knew about my love for make-up as a profession.
She knows I needed a lot of make-up (good quality at its affordable price)
She offered to go to ULTA to help me buy some stuffs I would love...
Her mom arrived and I got these!!!!
Too bad not much Milani eyeshadows are available that time, she had to go to Walgreens for that.
She bought me a couple of Ulta eyeshadows, it's way bigger than Milani and the pigmentation is as good!!!
L'oreal HIP, come to mama....

Here's my lovely loot! 4 Ulta eyeshadows, 2 L'oreal Hip eyeshadow duo 1 L'oreal Hip Cream, 2 Milani Eyeshadows




At a closer look 1. Deep Sea 2. Aquamarine 3. Lilac Mist 4. Luna



My lovely Milani!!! (I really wish they have more colors)
