Bombshell Night Out

Hi everyone! I was so excited to open this Supermodel On-The-Go Makeup Kit from Victoria's Secret. Tito Onni brought this for me as pasalubong from the US. So I played around with it immediately. There are four looks to choose from and I came up with the bombshell look as it reads s-e-x-y. I used all the eyeshadows as well as the blush and the lip gloss.

Check out... 

Here's what it looks like. Nice packaging. So girlish.

I like how they put tutorial on each of the look. I actually followed that steps in the bombshell night out look. 

Isn't it so cute?

Here in the corner is the star for this post.

That on the center is a space for your compact powder or your brushes.

And here's now the bombshell...







 The shades are pigmented. The blush brush it came up with is surprisingly soft and not scratchy. I'm liking this palette because of the colors. I am most into neutrals and natural looking makeup so this is a star for me. 

This is for you Tito Onni. Thank you for being so generous and thoughtful.

Will do the other three sets of looks on my future posts. Thanks for reading.

Look 1: Beauty Makeup, A Step-by-step Tutorial Using Naked Palette

Not a manic Monday for me because I will share you a makeup tutorial today.
Like what I've said on my first post, I will do tens of makeup look with my Naked palette from Urban Decay. Most of the looks that may come up with this palette are neutral and wearable. This is my favorite palette of all because of its pigmentation and finish.






Ok, first I did my concealer-foundation-blush routine. Let's head up to the eye makeup since this is the most important process. It can make you or break so you must determine which eye makeup will work for you. I believe I have a normal eye shape so anything will work for me.

In doing eye makeup,especially for beginners, you must consider the basic step. Follow the light-medium-dark-highlight rule. If you can notice, makeup companies create eyeshadow quads with this kind of sequence. 

Step 1: Go with your "light" color on the entire lid. Use a shader brush and pat along the lid of your eye. I recommend one with satin finish as it adds drama whenever you blink. Here I use Sin.


Step 2: Pick your "medium". Should be two shades darker than your skin. This contours the eyes and creates a depth if you are a monolid. I suggest that you use a matte finish e/s. I use Buck here. The trick is, use a blending brush and follow the groove of your eye socket. Blend it up to the 2/3 of your crease.



This is how it should look.



Step 3. Now with the "dark" shade. I use Gunmetal here. Sweep it through the outer V of the eye with another blending brush. Eyeshadow to use may be satin or matte. 



The trick, open your eyes and punch the brush feeling your socket. This guides you where to begin. 



Now the finished look. By the way, I already put the highlight on the browbone. This is optional. 





Step 4. Again this is optional but I always do this. Highlight the browbone and the inner V of the eye. Picking a satin eyeshadow can make the eye look fresh and open. 



Step 5. Finish off with curling the lash and putting your favorite mascara. Don't forget the brows! 





Voila! And you're done! All with the lipstick.




See my transformation.

From No one...


yeah my face looks chubby here.

To Someone...


hah! i just need to find my angle.
And so I never stopped taking pictures...








How do I look? This is a wearable makeup for office, for a date, a dinner, and all else depending on how you wear confidence with makeup on.

Thanks for reading. I hope I'm of help.
