Asian Eye Makeup: Angular? or Round? Which one is you?

Angular = Edgy / Sultry / Sexy / Glamour / Mysterious

Round = Soft / Cute / Feminine / Playful / Shy

♥︎Which one do you like?♥︎

Asian Eyes

One thing is for sure...is that you cannot do Caucasian eye makeup on an asian.

We do not have double lined lids / crease, therefore, contouring as you would do on creases does not work on our eyes.

What works best is smokey / blending from bottom to top

And smokey doesn't necessary mean dark colours.  It can be soft pastels, bright colours as much as contouring neutral tones.  The key thing is to blend.  Blend from the lash line towards the top, concentrating on the outer edge of the eyes.  Blend, blend and blend.  Blending is so important because our lids are exposed, meaning they do not hide inside the crease once the eyes are opened. :)

Once you got that right, then playing with the shape is all up to you and how you feel!

Wanna do round shaped smokey?

or

Wanna rock the angular shape?

Depending on the shape, it can play up your style and your mood.

♥︎Have fun!♥︎

From my ipsy glam bag I got this month, I used this penny coloured loose eyeshadow.  The info and the link is in my previous blog post.

The colour is....BAM!

Straight on, no joke!  It is pigmented like you wouldn't believe!

Straight from the pot to the brush to the lids, the colour is pure, intense and solid.

Love the colour and the intensity!

My brows are filled using this brow pencil by Marcelle.  The colour is a nice ashy brown.  It's like a waxy crayon so it repels water and lasts longer.

For my lashes, I added falsies from Ardell.  It's their Edgy collection with accented edges.

The falsies are topped with black mascara from Makeup Forever.

Eye Makeup: Happy Saint-Patrick's Day!

🍀

Saint-Patrick's Day inspired eye makeup

🍀

I used this pure intense green of all greens by Inglot.

Not sure what the colour is called...no indication of its name on the back.

Very true to its pigment when applied on skin.  I do love Inglot eyeshadows, though they do fall onto my cheeks during application. 

So, when you use their eyeshadows, just make sure to finish the eye makeup before you apply your foundation :)

🍀

 My eyebrows are filled with this waterproof slanted brow pencil by Marcelle.

I love this natural ashy tone.  This goes well with those with light coloured eyebrows.

The pencil part is like a crayon...waxy texture,  but soft so it is easy to apply.

It's flat enough and slanted, so the application is smooth, lines are defined and is

easy to shape your brows with.

I opted for this lighter ashy tone to tone down my black-haired brows for this look to help make the green eye makeup pop :)

         

🍀

The gold sparkles were added using this Marcelle Lux Diamond Liquid Liner.

It has a very fine tip applicator so you can create the finest line if you'd like.

For this look, I simply layered it over my lid.  It was a thick coat but didn't bleed out and the application was smooth.  It did take a little longer to dry due to its thickness (my bad!) but once dried, it was solid!  No sparkles fell or rubbed off onto my fingers when I touched it.

So pretty :) ♥︎

♥︎ I LOVE Kiss Falsies! ♥︎ I may have mentioned it before in my posts...but I must say it over and over...! :)

I LOVE KISS FALSIES!

I use them for all of my Brides.  They are made with natural hair, so easy to apply, light, soft and bendable and yet great for several applications.  Lashes comes in varieties of lengths, volume and shapes.  Love love love♥︎

I used this one for this look.  I wanted the length but not volume.  I wanted to show off the sparkled part of my lids through the lashes :)

🍀

I topped the falsies with this Makeup For Ever Mascara in black.  I didn't apply a lot though!  Again, I didn't want to add too much volume on the lashes. 

🍀

The applicator is well....um....interesting?  (lack of a better word!)

Must be great for some...but not for my asian eyes!  It's so big!  Felt awkward and so hard to apply!

🍀

On my cheeks for contouring and adding some extra sun-kissed touch all over my face, I added this matte bronzer by Annabelle.  Annabelle is a sister-line of Marcelle.

♥︎Both proudly made from here, Montreal♥︎

🍀

For my lips for this look, I wanted a soft neutral touch that is not too pink, not too beige with a creamy texture and no shimmer, no matte.

I chose this one and it looks great!

It is a Marcelle lipstick in Attitude #702.

I like the fact that it has no taste! And no particular smell!

I am uber sensitive to smell...and when it comes to lipstick, I am even more so than anything!  I can easily get nauseous and even worse, get migraines from bad smelling lipsticks and ones with too much fragrance. 

🍀

Happy Saint-Patrick's Day!  Another great reason to drink :)

lol

Hopefully it's more than that!  Like hang out with friends and family, spending some fun times together :)  Enjoy!
