btw this is a christmas makeup tutorial.. in christmas RED is a trademark, so i'm gonna do a smoky eyes and red lips.. all from my life palette : night life by EM cosmetics..~

okay let's just start with the tutorial..!!

- first of course as usual clean and toner the face.. don't forget moisturizer and sun cream..!! oh and also moisture the lips..~

- then prep the face with primer and for me, i love to apply a tiny bit of BB cream..~

- after that put on some foundation, in here i'm using revlon colorstay whipped because it can last long and i love the coverage..!! i'm applying this foundation with my favourite brush which is Sigma angled kabuki F84.. and Sigma precision angled P84 for the small area like under the eyes or bridge of the nose.. when applying the foundation, u can put the leftovers on the eyelids if u got some discoloration..

- then, put on some corrector on acnes if u have and concealer to conceal all the dark area on ur face, such as dark circle or anyplace that darker.. i'm using body shop tea tree corrector and for the concealer la touche magique perfect match by L'oreal in natural beige shade.. then blend them in with sigma P84 brush..

- after this, setting everything off with loose powder first.. i'm still using my body shop..=D

- next is the eyeshadow.. i'm using my life palette : night life my Em Cosmetics, mixing colors from look number 1 and 4.. i use silver color "a" as the base and "c" on the inner from look number 1, then in the middle i apply color "d" from look 4.. and i'm using dark brown color from my dollywink eyeshadow.. for the lower lash line i'm using "c" color from look 1 on the inner and dollywink dark brown color from middle till outer..

- then draw or fill in the eyebrows.. i'm using Viva eyebrow pencil in darkbrown color.. it's a local brand from Indonesia but it's my favourite eyebrow pencil evaa.... then brush it out with angled brush to even out the color.. and don't forget to top it off with eyebrow mascara, it also give a soft look on the eyebrow.. i'm using dollywink eyebrow mascara..

- usually after all the eye makeup done, i'm applying a layer of powder again with.. i'm using body shop all in one face base number 3..

- then, now is the time for eyelashes and mascara..!! i'm using anmie lashes by kose.. bought it in hongkong..~ and for the lower lashes, i just use mascara.. u can subtitute fake eyelashes with mascara uf u find this look is too much for u.. do anything that make urself comfortable with girls..=)

and for the mascara i still trusted my favourite maybelline the magnum volume express..

- after that, apply the blusher.. i'm using maybelline cheek glow peachy sweetie and candy doll blusher.. i love using a big brush for this one because it doesn't give lot's of color directly, but more subtle and soft...

always smile when applying blusher

- then the final step is the lips..!!! i'm using red lipstick from life palette : night life my Em Cosmetics look number 4.. i mix both of the colors and apply it using my finger.. well, finger is the best brush in the world..!! and don't forget to tidy and clean the area around ur lips, because red lipstick doesn't look good if it smudge all over the place..
