Blushing Sneakerhead – by Mariah Christhel: Tutorial

Makeup Tutorial by ayacheei ft. Easy Holiday Makeup Look (Natural Glow)

The holidays is one of the busiest time of the year — the season filled with parties and get-togethers, shopping sprees and preps here and there. But along that, it is also the most wonderful time of the year. We get to spend time with our loved ones and enjoy each other's companies in the festivities. And as the celebrations pile up, most of us have lesser time to prioritize ourselves. So on today's blog, I am sharing with you my easy, go-to makeup look for the holidays. It is not the typical red lips and smokey-eyed makeup look rather a natural, cheeky glow look. Think blush and subtle nude lips to brighten up the skin. And I know what you're thinking, this post is days too late for the Christmas holiday, but hey! The New Year is still coming up, as well as the year-end parties and gatherings. So if you're into this type of makeup look, please keep on reading.

Etude House Wonder Pore Freshner and Clean & Clear Essentials Moisturizer

TONER AND MOISTURIZER

First, you need to prepare your face using a toner. The toner balances your skin's natural pH, as well as removing the extra dirt left after washing your face. I am using the Etude House Wonder Pore Freshner. Then, you also need to put on some moisturizer to hydrate your face (especially in this cold weather which dries up the face). I am using the Clean & Clear Essentials Moisturizer.

Maybelline Baby Skin Pore Eraser , Revlon ColorStay Foundation in the shade 150 "Buff" and Maybelline Dream Satin Skin Foundation in the shade 01

PRIMER AND FOUNDATION

Time for the makeup! To keep it all in tact throughout the day of fun, you need to use a primer. I am using the Maybelline New York Baby Skin Pore Eraser. After that settles in on the skin, you can now put on the foundation. I am mixing together the Maybelline New York Dream Satin Skin Foundation in the shade 01 and the Revlon Colorstay Foundation in the shade 150 "Buff" for that glow look I want while making sure it will stay on at the same time. I just blend it on my face using my Zoeva 104 Buffer Brush. You can also use a blender for easier application.

the SAEM Cover Perfection Tip Concealer and Johnsons Baby Powder

CONCEALER AND POWDER

Next, I put light concealer under my eyes. I am using the SAEM Cover Perfection Tip Concealer. I blended it in with my ring finger. Next, I just set everything in using a powder. I am using the Johnson's Baby Powder.

Benefit Browvo Conditioning Primer , Benefit Precisely My Brow Pencil in the shade 05 and Benefit 3D Browtones in the shade 2

EYEBROWS

For the brows, I actually used a lot of products haha! First, I prime my brows using the Benefit Cosmetics Browvo Conditioning Primer. Next, I fill it up using the Benefit Cosmetics Precisely My Brow Pencil in the shade 5 and for a natural look, I just brushed it off afterwards. And lastly, I finish my brows with the Benefit Cosmetics 3D Browtones in the shade 2 to keep my brows in place for the day.

MASCARA

For the lashes, I just lightly curled it and applied the mascara. I am using the Loreal Paris False Lash Miss Manga Mascara.

BLUSH

Once my foundation had completely set, I then go back to the face makeup. First, I put on the cheek stain and I am using the Benefit Cosmetics Benetint. I apply small amounts on the apple of my cheeks and I just feather it out up to the temples. And then, I put on the blush powder. I am using the Etude House Cookie Blusher in the shade 6 "Grapefruit Jelly". I just applied it in the same positions as the cheek stain using the puff.

HIGHLIGHT

Next, I put on the liquid highlighter on the highest point of my cheekbones and on my cupid's bow. I am using the Maybelline New York Master Strobing Cream in the shade pink. I just blend it in again using my ring finger.

Burt's Bees Lip Balm and Mac Pressed and Ready Lipstick (Lustre)

LIP BALM AND LIPSTICK

And to finish of my look, I put on lip balm first to moisturize my lips, and then add some color with a nude lipstick. I am using the Burt's Bees Lip Balm "Wild Cherry" and the Mac Lipstick "Pressed and Ready" (Lustre).

SET

Lastly, I set my whole face using a setting spray. I am using the Holika Holika Face Conditioner Long-Lasting Makeup Fixer.

And here's the final look, a different take on the traditonal holiday makeup look!

I hope you guys enjoyed this tutorial and have a happy holiday ahead!

Makeup Tutorial by ayacheei ft. The Hangover Drunk Blush Makeup Look

Hi guys! It's been a while. On today's blog, I'll be showing you an easy way of recreating the "drunk blush" makeup look or as I like to call it, the "hangover" makeup look. This look was popularized by Japanese makeup artist Igari Shinobu and had been showcased by various artists like Nadine Lustre and Andrea Brillantes.

The "hangover" makeup look mainly focuses on the blush—applying the right amount of blush under the eyes and over the nose, creating a continuous redness. This way, you'll be able to mimic one's flushed skin via drinking alcohol or a weather too cold. I think this look is appropriate in today's time since Christmas is fast approaching. It is also an easy look to recreate! And I'll be sharing three steps on how to do the "hangover" makeup look. It has been my current go-to makeup because it is that easy to create, especially on the morning rush when all you need is that pop of color. I'm not going to babble anymore, here are the three easy steps on creating the "hangover" makeup look.

1. CHEEK TINT

First, start with a cheek tint. I am using the SkinGenie Lip and Cheek stain in the shade "Tulip Red".

Dab the cheek tint starting from your nose to cheeks, forming a horizontal C shape. Blend using your fingers. Build up the color by adding more tint as desired, and just keep blending.

2. POWDER BLUSH

Now, for the powder blush. I am using the Etude House Lovely Cookie Blusher in the shade #6 Grapefruit Jelly.

Apply the layer of the powder blush over the liquid tint (on the cheeks and slightly over the nose). This method is done in order to enhance and prolong the color of the blush.

3. HIGHLIGHTER

Next, you'll need a highlighter. I am using the Detail Makeover Contour&Blush Effects 4-in-1 Palette (Highlighter).

For that "natural glow" look, add the highlighter on your cheekbones and the bridge of your nose. A little goes a long way!

Lastly, do your normal makeup routine and the look is done! An easy way on recreating the "hangover" makeup look.

"Kinain ka na ba ng sistema?" If you are a huge K-Pop fan, your friends probably asked you that question too many times already. But I mean common! What's not to love about K-Pop right? I, myself, am a huge K-Pop fan and one thing that I enjoyed while joining the fandom is the chance I had on exploring the world of K-Pop — not just music but K-Dramas, K-Fashion and K-Beauty as well. This is the main reason why K-Beauty really captured my heart. From watching K-Dramas and mvs, I have always been amazed on how Koreans achieve these distinctive looks although some of them probably look the same. And as many of my fellow Filipinos admire the craft as much as I do, many Korean cosmetics company made it easier for us to purchase these eye candies. One of my personal favorites is Etude House just because Etude House brings out the inner princess in me. Kidding aside (but it's kinda true too), I fell in love with Etude House because I have tried and tested their products too many times already and it is really good (especially the Wonder Pore). But due to the world wide web, other Korean cosmetics company compete with famous brands like Etude House. A brand that caught my eye recently is Rucy's Vanity (PH).

Rucy's Vanity was founded in 2007 by Derm Plus Trading, Inc. The company aims to become one of the best distributor and importer of Korean cosmetics line in the country. Rucy's Vanity offers a wide range of high quality, 100% korean cosmetics and skin care for both men and women, in a reasonable price. All products sold by the brand are certified by the Korean Food and Drug Administration and Philippine Food and Drug Administration (FDA).

Thanks to Rucy's Vanity, I recreated a look inspired by my favorite Korean girl group, Girls Generation. They are one of the first girl groups I really admired because I just love their personal style, not to mention they are always so pink and cute, which I kinda am back in the day.

First, I prepped my skin using the Rucy's Vanity Foam Cleansing Green Tea (130 pesos), COSRX One Step Pimple Clear Pad and Clean and Clear Moisturizer. As a base, I used the Quick FX No Shine Mattifier. To achieve that dewy skin, I used the Maybelline Super BB Mineral Guard Filter in the shade 01. For the eyeshadow, I used the Etude House Fantastic Color Eyes Bloody Halloween Palette. Then for the eye brows, I used the eb Advance Brow Palette. And to tame my brows, I just used the Maybelline Fashion Brow Mascara in the shade dark brown. I tried to shape them as straight as I possibly can since most Korean girls have naturally straight brows. I, on the other hand, have naturally arched brows so it was quite hard for me in doing so.

Afterwards, I applied the Rucy's Vanity Liquid Eyeliner (160 pesos) on my lids. Since I have hooded eyes and thick, long lashes, I tried to put the eye liner as close to my lid as possible so that it wouldn't appear to harsh on my eyes.

For the mascara, I used the Rucy's Vanity Gleamy Lavish Waterproof Mascara (180 pesos). This is my favorite product from Rucy's Vanity because it maintains my lashes curled up all day while keeping it natural.

Next, I applied the Rucy's Vanity Lip & Cheek Red (80 pesos) on my cheeks and lips (Tip: A little amount of the product goes a long way). Then, I contoured my face using the Detail Makeup Contour & Blush Palette.

I finished the look by adding a bit of the Rucy's Vanity Two Way Cake (250 pesos).

Here is the final look! Can I pass off as a Korean? (Pero feeling ko talaga ombre lips ang nagdala *pats self*)

Makeup Tutorial by ayacheei ft. Bronze Goddess Makeup

Hello everyone! Today, we're about to recreate the famous bronze Goddess look. This classic makeup will never go out of style since it can be worn on an everyday basis or even at parties and special occasions. I’m in love with it since it gives me that smitten vibes I like, perfect for the day and hot summer evenings. You don’t have to go overboard with very dark eye shadows to create this look. The finished look maybe intense depending on how you do your eyes, but at the end of the day, what matters is that bronzy glow that everyone is wanting.

This version I am wearing right now is done by my sister (She really loves makeup! You can subscribe to her channel: youtube.com/YzabelleProvido). Check out the photos below on how to achieve this bronze goddess look.

BARE FACE

First, wash your face so that you’ll start off with a clean canvass. I am using NIVEA extra white pore minimizer scrub.

BASE

Apply a light layer of the foundation. I am using the Maybelline Dream Satin Skin B4. Buff it onto your face by using a blush brush. If you don’t have any, using your hands will do.

CONCEAL

First step in contouring is that you should base it. I am using L.A. Girl Pro Conceal. Apply it to the forehead, temples and cheekbones.

POWDER PUFF

Powder areas like your forehead, around the nose, under the eyes and next to the corners of your mouth. I am using the Maybelline White Superfresh 03.

BRONZE

Dust off your bronzer onto the cheeks, forehead and jawline. I am using the bronzer from Ever Bilena.

BRUSH UP

Groom your brows upward. I am using the Maybelline Fashion Brow (darkest shade).

EYE MAKEUP FOR LONG

Apply primer so that your eye makeup will last longer. I am using the Essence eyelid primer.

SMOKEY FOR THE LIDS

Smokey shadow for the eyes! I am using the makeup from Sleek with the shades Ultra Mattes V2 Darks 731 and Vintage Romance 141. (A) Apply the “flesh” color for the transition. (B) Define the crease by using the “maple” shade. (C)To create a halo effect, apply the “paper bag” shade in the inner and outer corners. (D) To finish of that smokey eye look, dab in “meet in Madrid” at the center of the lids for a pop of color.

LASHES FOR LONG

Curl your lashes. You can also add falsies if you like. Apply the mascara for beautiful lashes. I am using the Maybelline Lash Sensational.

10.

NATURAL LIPS

Line the lips with a natural lip liner. I am using the True Lips Menow. To finish of the look, apply nude lipstick. I am using the lip cream from Essence.

Here is the final look. Whether you are morena or mestiza like me, this trend can still be perfect for all. The eyes have that orangey ombre color which I adore. I also love how that brownish matte color bronzer makes my cheeks and my whole face shine. hehe.

I hoped you enjoy the tutorial! Thank you so much for the read!:)
