Intense

Last night

I spent the time to make a contouring nose tutorial for cosplay!

I uploaded it to my Tumblr early this morning (at 12AM)

Here's what I used:

- K-Palette Real Lasting Eyeliner 1Day Tattoo 24h wp (Pink edition)

- Decorative Eyelash Playgirl #4 (Bottom Lashes)

- Darkness Eyelashes EO (Top Lashes)

- Ardell Duralash Individual Lashes (Top and Bottom Lashes)

- Daiso Eye shadow (House Brand)

- Eye Charm Double Eyelid Tape (one-sided and breathable) [Used to enhance and deepen my double eyelids]

- Four Vision Dark Maple Black lens (Soft Cosmetic Contact Lens, 14.5mm)

Before I powdered my face with a bunch of face paints and stuff w w

This makeup makes my eyes look HUGE!!

This was the result!

You can find the tutorial and follow me on my Tumblr blog here

Micro Fiber Double Eyelid Fiber Review + Tutorial!

This is the famous Micro Fiber double eyelid fiber that I really love!

It sells for cheap; only $5.50 USD at Asian goods stores in the USA

Where I live, this is about 400 yen at convenience stores!

The pack contains 105 pieces of eyelid fiber

And it also had double sided adhesive for a secure hold when you use the eyelid fiber

The container is made of a sturdy plastic and comes with an applicator stick and scissors!

Unfortunately, my scissors were very dull and would not cut the fiber, so I'm using my other pair now

Pros:

-Economical pricing

-Adhesive is strong and durable

-Fiber width is thicker than AB (Automatic Beauty) and Mezaik brand

-Fiber feels stronger than AB (Automatic Beauty) brand

Cons:

-Not easy for beginners

-Scissors can be dull in the packaging

-Fiber may be a little shiny in sunlight if shown

-Silver/gold tabs at the ends may be pulled off if the fiber is pulled too quickly or harshly

What I think:

This is a great investment for me! I have one eyelid that will not stay a double eyelid, so buying Micro Fiber is amazing for me. I do not run out of this double eyelid fiber quickly at all and it actually sticks and helps create another fold in my eyelids!

Tutorial time!!

As you can see, one of my eyelids is a tapered/mono eyelid

I'll be working with the tapered/mono eyelid instead of my already parallel eyelid

(Hint: If you want a higher double eyelid crease and already have parallel eyelids, then do it! Nothing is stopping you!)

Remember to pat dry your eyelid before using the fiber

This will help the fiber stick and adhere better

See the gold/silver tabs? They are not sticking to the plastic sheet, so take one and start peeling off the eyelid fiber

Like this:

Peel off the white paper on top of the eyelid fiber

The fiber should be clear, like this:

Using the pink applicator, measure where you want to put your eyelid crease

I put my eyelid fiber close to my brow bone for higher of an eyelid fold

Take the eyelid fiber, holding the two gold/silver tabs and place it over your measured area on your eyelid

Stretch the fiber across your eyelid

This should not hurt, but if you are a beginner, you might feel some discomfort

Using your scissors, cut off the gold/silver tabs on the sides COMPLETELY and secure the edges by patting it down to adhere to your eyelid gently

Use either side of the applicator to tuck in your eyelid fiber

Look into the mirror to check if your missed any spots where you see the fiber still sticking out

You may need to do this several times

You may also put a glue sealer on top of the fiber if you would like, but it is not necessary to do so

And you're done!!

You may now apply makeup of any sort! 

I hope you enjoyed this review and tutorial!

False Eyelashes!!

Today

I tried mixing eyelashes for a dramatic effect without a lot of eyeliner or eye shadow

In this particular piece,

I didn't use any eye shadow at all!

I used three pairs of eyelashes:

1) Darkness EO Top Eyelash, 473 yen 

2) Decorative (Bottom) Eyelash no.4, 1025 yen

3) Eye Lashes (Extensions), 157 yen

The lashes I bought were very affordable and they feel really soft on my eyelids

First, I put on my eyeliner normally with no flares

Then I applied the Eye Lashes extensions to my top eyelid on the outer corner

After, I put the Darkness lashes on right above the Eye Lashes extensions

Then, I applied the Decorative Eyelash to the bottom of my eye

(I usually put the edge of the eyelash 2cm away from the outer corner of my eye)

I touch up with eyeliner on the top of my eyelid and the outer corner of my eyelashes

Also, I draw a crease line near my tear ducts to extend it and outline a little below the waterline; the inner corner of my eye

The result is

Pretty dramatic!

No eye shadow is required to make this

I find that my eye shadow creates a very powdery effect on my skin, which I don't like unless I am going to take pictures (the lighting is very important!)

And I was very satisfied with it

It is very dolly

But won't make your makeup look caked on either

Can't decide which eyelash to wear?

You can mix and match your eyelashes and just try them out like this!!

This will not only save you time,

But it will also help you save money instead of buying thicker false lashes!

What I'm wearing:

-Skin 79 BB Cream (Pink Edition)

-K Palette Long Lasting Eyeliner (24h wp)

-Darkness EO eyelash

-Eye Lashes extensions eyelash

-Decorative Eyelash bottom eyelash

-Feelcon 30 Days Comfy Black circle lens (14.5mm)

Stay tuned for more!

Makeup...

Recently

Somebody asked me,

"What is your makeup routine like? I want to know!!"

So today I'm going to show you! 

Before we start, I want to tell you that I have one parallel eyelid and one tapered to nearly monolid

I'm going to use my parallel eyelid for this makeup tutorial because you can see the makeup better and not be distracted by the eyelid tape I usually use for my tapered/monolid

I apologize

The pictures aren't good quality...

First, I spread BB cream all over my face w w

Then I use a mousse concealer and a nicely pact powder that is a little lighter than my natural skin tone

I bought all my new daily makeup in Los Angeles when I went to visit~

I'm using a very natural palette of eye shadows from Elf

It was only about 80 yen or so

Cheap, huh? \(^_^)/

I'm going to use numbers like this so you can follow me

I'm wearing Walkure Brown lens in 14.5mm diameter as of this week

Using shadow 1

I apply it across my entire eyelid

Then I use shadow 4 and apply it on top of the shadow I already have on my eyelid

Now, I use shadow 2 and apply it to the outer corner of my eyelid (1/3 of my eye)

I also apply it on the outer corner of my lower eyelid, or water line (1/3 of of my eye)

I've got to make sure not to get it into my eye or it'll cause pain or discomfort!!

Time for some black eyeliner!

This is an American brand of eyeliner called L.A. Girls

I'm using their series of pen eyeliners called Fineline

I believe it only cost me 480 yen

w w w I'm so cheap!

Using my eyeliner, I follow my eye shape and draw a long line on my upper eyelid

I don't flare the ends!!!

I also put a little line of eyeliner along my tear duct

The eyeliner lines I make are very thin w

Next is mascara!

I don't usually put on mascara first because when I'm putting on the eyeliner, my eyelashes get in the way ||orz

I like this double extend mascara a bit more than the usual mascara because it has two coats of mascara

The first coat is white and the second one is pure black

I curl my lashes before putting on mascara.. then I curl it again after the mascara dries

I got this for about 800 yen

First coat

Looks interesting, yeah?

Second coat!!

And we're done with the eyes!

Most of the time, I add a lot of layers to my bottom lashes

That way, they can stand out a lot more

Now

All I need to do now is apply highlighting powder a little along my tear duct and the bottoms of my eyes,

I fill in my eyebrows with a Milk Tea Brown eyebrow pencil and powder it with shadow 2

I also contour my nose with shadow 4

And then I apply blush diagonally on my cheekbones

So that's my daily routine~

Here's the difference

It almost looks 200% bigger!!

(I'm wearing my 14.2mm Angel Color Chocolate Brown lens in this picture)

Thanks for reading!

I hope you enjoyed watching my daily routine w w

See you next time!
