First Time Contouring

Just a head's up. This post is gonna just be full of my selfies HAHAHA.

Yes. My church's Youth Rally is next week and everything's been more chaotic than ever. There's so much left to do with such a short amount of time left, I'm actually quivering at the thought of it..

Anyway, I have some free time now and I don't feel so tensed anymore, so here's just what I've been doing lately!

Everyone already knows makeup does wonders.

Ya but I never thought it could apply to me. I guess most of us would have the 'it will never happen to me' mentality, and same thing applied to me.

So out of curiosity, I tried to use a random brown colour on my eyeshadow palette to do some contouring on my nose.

Because no duh, Sherlock, my asian nose is pretty flat and non existent to the human eye. And very often we get bombarded with pictures of asian girls who have the most perfect noses.

So I thought to myself, why not give it a shot and see whether I can turn out to look like I actually have a nose in photos too. Without editing of course.

HAHA. I. FEEL. SO. VAIN.

Lol I thought seeing my nose looking so good in photos would be something that was once in a lifetime, so I just snapped away.

And it isn't everyday I get to look like this.

Somehow I couldn't recognize myself when I looked back at all these pictures.

I mean honestly it doesn't look like me o.o 

 I don't look like that in real life unfortunately.

So girls, don't worry. 

Whatever problems you think you have on your face is beyond saving grace, makeup fixes almost everything. Not that I'm encouraging you to use makeup, but I just wanted to remind everyone, again, that what you see in pictures aren't real.

It's all an illusion and a combination of well-play with colours.

Don't feel down because of a stupidly stunning picture. 

I know I've been there, and still go through that at times.

But, the key is to always snap out of it and realize that anything could've been done to these images.

Anyway this was all unedited, without the help Meituxiuxiu and all the beautifying apps.

But then again, this was when my skin was better :( 

Now I'm breaking out to the core with red scars all over my face.

Alright thats all for now!

 I'm late again T_T

Cheap Eyeshadows - Daiso

Ok I know that many people probably have a principle to not use anything cheap on their face, for the fear of ruining their skin/allergic reactions. Well that's true considering daily face care products, as I would obviously not want to risk my face for a short term benefit of paying a cheap price.

However, when it comes to powdery makeup like eye shadows and brow pens which I would only use occasionally, I find that it isn't really worth getting something expensive which you wouldn't even know when the next time you'll be using it.

My mum got this eyeshadow palette from Daiso, the one at the Curve, for RM5. It even has the 6 popular colours which are commonly used among ladies.

The glass is abit blurry due to finger prints hehe.

It's like a compact, cheaper version of the Naked Palette.

For those of you who may not have heard of it before, this is how the Naked(2) palette looks like.

This is a clearer view of the colours.

Don't you think it's like the summarized version of the Naked(2) palette? 

Here, I've labelled the colours so that you can tell the difference between each colour.

Pardon my hairy hand hehe.

Not bad huh?

Another reason I know which stops people from buying cheap eye shadows when they come across one is because of the worry that the colour may not come out.

Or that the colour may fade/fall off after using it for awhile.

But as you can see, the colours are pretty pigmented, which is good enough for people like me who only wear eye shadows occasionally.

*Note* I put white shadow (6) as my base for the inner corner of both lids.

 How the colours turned out on my eyes.

The camera couldn't really capture the exact shade of the colours, but in reality, the colours were quite obvious to me.

Shhh, I know it's time to pluck my eyebrows and my skin has been pretty bad lately :(

Both sides.

Spot the difference haha!

The left side looks more dreamy, with the silver and grey shades, while the right side looks more natural with the brown and black shades.

This was another day with the eye shadow on but less eye liner, and without my contacts.

Looks pretty natural from afar.

As far as I'm concerned, I think they only sell this particular palette at the Curve.

I went to Sunway Pyramid the other day but I realised that branch didn't have it.

Oh yes and I know don't really do these kinda posts.. 

Mainly due to the reason I don't like my skin upclose on camera as I'm pretty tan and my skin condition has been pretty bad.

Ok, that's all!

Feel free to share if you have any good cheap eye shadows you've been raving about :)
