smokey eyes by xteeener

lust smokey eyes by xteeener. it's subtle and pretty.

i'm even lusting after wet n wild eyeshadow palette in lust used in this tutorial. love the colors. this brand is not available in australia.

with my current skin condition i shouldn't attempt smokey eye look. after watching the tutorial last night, i just so wanted to do a smokey eye look this morning.

i regretted the moment it was done. even though i tried to make it really really subtle.

smokey eyes look

i used bb cream as a base. this product usually brightens my skin and makes it appears flawless. but it's not sticking to my dry skin. i just looked like i used some wrong products.

my eyes also looked too puffy trying to not to use too much product. i should've applied more darker color to deepen the crease area.

bad makeup also makes me feeling gloomy all day.

less makeup

this was look of yesterday. this pic was taken at a good angle and light because i looked more washed out in real life. minimal makeup. only produts used were concealer, brow powder, mascara and lipstick.

lesson learned. do not attempt any looks until my skin is not so drying and tight. less is more. looking washout is better than overdone!

on my lips on both days - revlon matte lipstick in fabulour fig. just because that's currently in my lipstick case.

I have a couple of wet n wild eyeshadow palettes. It's somewhat pigmented but the palette that I got didn't match me well. These palettes are inexpensive at all and there are blow huge sale like get two for $4 USD bucks only. If you like I'll stock up some stuff for you.

boy, this girl probably used 10 brushes in this makeup. the # of brushes i use daily for my face: 4 - 2 on the eyes, 1 brow and 1 blush.

and who said i'm high maintenance? :p

@annie, most makeup gurus on yt use a lot of brushes! i think i use at least 5 per makeup, depending on the look. this is after i got sigma makeup brushes :)
