makeup

i haven't done many look of the day posts recently. most pics i took didn't turn out good enough for posts. blame it on cloudy days. blame the iphone. blame it on autumn - the direction of sun changed...

you probably have noticed that most photos for look of the day were taken in the car. that's probably my only chance to get good sunlight for photo taking. however since the end of summer, the sun moved to a different position. a lot of times i ended up looking like 鍾無艷.

also blame the time. i've been overlseeping a lot lately. which left me with only 15 mins of time to do my makeup. it could be enough if i'm to do a simple makeup. but most simple makeups don't look good in photos.

ok, enough of the blaming games. :p

look of the day

i love warm bronzy browny colors for the season. it's quite similar to another brown look i did a few weeks ago.

I love the blaming game. I'm still trying to look for my charger to my camera, it is still missing.

I love the red lipstick you used, but I'm afraid to buy a red shade and end up not looking good on me. You look lovely!

@cynthia, every girl should have a red lipstick! if you're worried that red may be too overpowering, you should try silk natural's hot blooded - it's red yet it's not too attention seeking. i wore it a lot during the summer. now i like very strong red lips for autumn / winter look.

very nice!! for 15 min that's awesome!! i cant pull that off, it takes me an hour to put on that type of face, cos i just go with the flow so i'll have to think about what i like. D:

@linda, 15min is for simple makeup, not this one lol! i think it took about 25 min for this look. trying to draw the perfect brow and eyeliner uses more time than expected!
