Creative Makeup Tutorial - 1920's inspired violet look

Happy Thanksgiving everyone! I am here to show you a new look I did today. It is inspired by the roaring 20's, with a bit of harlequin thrown in. This is my first time experiencing with pseudo-20's hair, so I will post a tutorial when I get it to look better. 

A closeup of the eyes before I begin. The lenses are Puffy 3-tone Brown. 

After putting on foundation, I put on a thick layer of powder below my eyes to catch any fallen eyeshadow. 

I then applied lavender-grey eyeshadow along the bridge of my nose between my eyes for shading.

A shimmery violet eyeshadow is applied all over my eyelids all the way up to the brows, blending into the grey.

I then added dark violet eyeshadow along the lower lashline and over the upper lid.

 Black eyeshadow is applied along the outer half of the upper lashline and a bit in the outer corners of the eyes.

I then heavily lined my eyes (as well as the lower waterline) with black pencil eyeliner for a smoky look.

I cut up a pair of false lashes into individual spikes and applied them along my lower lashline for a dramatic spiky look.

Highly arched eyebrows are drawn on above my natural eyebrows (which I should have covered at the beginning of the tutorial =____=), and a bit of glitter is applied between individual spikes of the false lashes for highlight.

Pink blush is applied to the apples of my cheek, and a black heart is drawn on my right cheekbone with a bit of glitter for added sparkle. A layer of mascara is also applied to my upper lashes.

Finally, I outlined a beestung-shaped lip over my natural lips (covered with foundation), and filled it in with violet-pink lipstick.

Here's a closeup of the eyes and the heart.

For the fingerwave-like hair, I sectioned the front of my hair from temple to temple off from the rest of my head, then curled them with a small-barreled iron. I then combed out the curls and fixed them to my head with loads of bobby pins. 

I think with more practice, this will definitely look more natural. :p

The rest of my hair is loosely rolled into a bun and tucked under at the nape of my neck, and is secured with a claw clip.

Just two more camwhore pics:

I hope you enjoyed this tutorial, and have an awesome Thanksgiving weekend. :)

Circle lens review - EOS Love-U Brown

This is my review of EOS Love-U Brown, sponsored by MukuChu. This is a pair of natural-looking lenses that surprised me quite a bit, and I think they will be great for everyday wear.

The Love-U Brown are a mid-tone brown lens with lighter brown highlights in the middle. The highlights are not visible when the lenses are off the eyes, so when I first got the lenses I thought they are single-colored and kinds of boring. However, once I try them on, I immediately notice the highlights and how they make my eyes more interesting.

The Love-U are 14.0mm so they are low in enlarging power, which make them good "casual" lens to wear without makeup.

The Love-U have a similar design to EOS Max Gold Black, but are smaller in diameter and lighter in color. The Max Gold Black look kind of "dead fish"-like in comparison.

I also compared the Love-U to my current favorite natural lenses, Neo Dali Extra Brown. The Extra are a bit bigger in diameter but they are both lovely.

 Here are all the lenses I wore for the review. Clockwise from the top: Love-U Brown right side up, Max Gold Black, Love-U Brown upside down, Extra Brown.

FINAL VERDICT:
Design: 9/10 - Highlights my eyes very well
Enlargement: 7/10 - Minimal enlargement
Comfort: 9/10 - No significant discomfort, and the small size of the lenses also helps
TOTAL: 8/10 - A surprisingly nice pair of natural lenses

Thank you MukuChu for the lenses!

Circle Lens Review - Fynale Y17 Blue

Today I am review the Fynale Y17 Blue circle lenses, sponsored by Apple of Your Eyes. These are one of the most striking, uniquely designed lenses I have tried so far, and I really like them!

The Fynale Y17 are highly-pigmented lenses that has 4 colors printed on the lenses. Each color in the series is beautiful, but the blue lense especially caught my eyes. They are a blend of sky blue, hazel and purple surrounded by a thin black ring, and look stunning in all lights.

Being 14.0mm in diameter, these lenses are not very enlarging. The iris hole in the middle is also a bit small and my vision becomes a bit blurry under low light.

I also compared the Y17 with two pairs of strong-colored lenses I have. The first pair is Neo Cosmos Glamour Blue. They are both very opaque and bright in color, but the Y17 are more violet while the Glamour are more sky blue.

The next pair is Barbie Big Size Violet, which are much more enlarging than the Y17 but with darker color.

Here are all the lenses in this review. Clockwise from the top: Y17 right side up, Glamour Blue, Y17 upside down, Big Size violet. See how intricate and beautiful the Y17's design is?

FINAL VERDICT:
Design: 10/10 - They are simply stunning, like works of art
Enlargement: 7/10 - I think they don't really enlarge much
Comfort: 8/10 - A bit thick, and the iris hole is small
TOTAL: 8.5/10 - Lovely dramatic lenses, I just wish they are a bit more enlarging. 

Thank you Apple of Your Eyes for the lenses!
