Sunday Faces #3 : Casual Date Makeup

  Another sunday and of course it must be another sunday faces. I hope you guys doesn't feel booo ~ ring see my fotd every last day of the week and today, the theme is date makeup.

  I rarely go out with my boyfriend every saturday because both of us can't stand of traffic jam. For Jakarta citizen, all of you have already know that we can sit inside a car for more than hours even if the destination's so close from where we are. We prefer have a date on sunday because the situation's not too crowded. By the way, my boyfriend doesn't like me when i put my makeup on. He loves to se my natural bare face so i have to tricked him whenever we go out. Anyone have type of boyfriend like me? Raise your hand and let me show you how to tricked them :)

  For my sandy brown eyelid, i chose pink and taupe color this time. First, i primed my whole eyelid with NYX HD Eyeshadow Primer and wait for a minute until it dry perfectly. After that, with my ring finger i applied Shiseido Eyeshadow Cream in PK 214. It's a gorgeous pink - champagne color with subtle shimmer. Actually you can use it as a primer but i prefer use primer first to make it stays on well. I use lavish color which is a matte taupe color in MUA 'Undress Me Too' palette on the outer corners and blended it well. I didn't use any eyeliner because i want my eye makeup looks soft. I couldn't live without mascara so i used Maybelline Megaplush Mascara in Blackest Black. For eyebrows, still haven't trim it yet but soon i will do it!

  Next to face makeup, i want to brightens my complexion so that's why i used another perfect combination such as Tarte Brightening Primer and Benefit Hello Flawless Foundation in Beige. Tarte brightening primer has a bad oil control and it doesn't matter for me because i'm a dry skin gal. Hello flawless has a dewy finish and today i won't look overly dewy and i set it up with Lucy Minerals Light Mineral Foundation but i forgot to took a picture. Seriously guys, it's a great mineral powder! It has a medium coverage. Next time i will review it, perhaps. After that, i used Tarte Blush in Exposed. It gave me blushing brownish plum color and i really love it. Didn't use any highlighting product because i didn't want him spotted my face and say 'baby, you're face glittering like disco ball'. Blah.

  For a lips, i used my another MLBB lip color which is Revlon Matte Lipstick in Mauve It Over but before that, i applied lipbalm first.

Sunday Faces : Smoky Blue

 It's sunday again. Oh my god, time flies so fast. It's already December and Christmas comes nearly. After that, new year has come then everybody celebrate it with light up the fireworks.

  I came back from my short trip and a lil' bit exhausted but for you my lovely readers, today's post consists of my smokey eyes makeup and i chosed blue as a companion with classic black base smokey eyes.This look is suitable for night time, you can choose this look if you want to go to club or party such as new year's eve party. Just remember focusing on your eye makeup, you don't need to use any bright color lipstick or blush on so you don't look too much. So, move onto the makeup!


  
 

  Face : actually, i didn't go anywhere but i'm just trying to make a new lookfor Sunday's articles. This time i didn't use face primer but if you wanna attend a party, especially new year's eve party you must use face primer unless you want your face look like a bowl of cream cheese lol. It's my good skin day so i used a foundation that has light coverage and made my skin looks flawless which is Revlon Nearly Naked Foundation in Medium Beige.Since Nearly Naked just evens out my skintone, i use heavy concealer like NYX Orange Concealer In Jar and L.A. Girls Pro HD Concealer in Pure Beige. This is the perfect combo to erase my dark circles. For finishing, i opted for a transluscent but hydrating finishing powder to removes shine with Bare Minerals Mineral Veil.

  Eyes : Before used eyeshadows, i primed my eyes with Urban Decay Primer Potion in Sin after that i lined my eyelids with black eyeliner from Rimmel Scandaleyes Pencil Liner in Black. I smudged them with smudge brush fastly and then topped with blue eyeshadow pigment and i used L'oreal Infallible in Midnight Blue. To made a 3D effects, i used Wet n Wild 'I Got Good Jeans' browbone color on center of my eyelids. As a mascara hoarder, i couldn't forget to use mascara and i used L'oreal Voluminous in Carbon Black to give voluminous effect and then used Majolica Majorca Lash Extend to lengthening them.

  Cheek : I contoured hollow of my cheekbones with Thebalm Bahama Mama. Been loving this for a full year round! I also slightly contour my nose. After that, i gave a colour to my cheeks with Thebalm Hot Mama, a beautiful rose gold color with shimmer that works as a highlighter too.

  Lips : like i said before, i don't want to look to much so i chose nude lipstick like Rimmel Nude Delight. It's a perfect peachy-nude color and to gave a plump effect, i used NYX Mega Shine Lipgloss in Natural color.

Revlon Color Stay Normal/Dry Skin Foundation; Reviews and Swatches!

When i take a look at my blog i just realize something; i never write a review about foundations whereas this thing is one of the most important instrument when you apply make up. It's like, if our face is a canvas, foundation is a paint. So, i want to wrote a review about my one of holy grail foundations; Revlon Color Stay foundation.

Foundation smoothes on evenly for a flawless look. ColorStay Makeup with SoftFlex SPF 15 for Normal/Dry Skin by Revlon features SoftFlex technology that will not rub off with normal wear. Oil-free formula looks fresh, feels natural and controls excess oil.

My Thoughts

I know this is one of the best drugstore foundations, that's why i want to try it. I just want to know how great this product and actually, it is. I didn't buy this two foundations at a same time because medium beige was sold out, so i choosed True Beige and it's waay too dark for me! This one is best suits for people who has NC 37 - NC 40 skintone. I thought 'how can i use this without look like after comes out from tanning machine??' and i try to used loose powder with transluscent colour, but it's not works.

Someday, i went to the store and almost scream because there it is, the medium shade was there! I bought it quickly and tried it at home and voila, it suits on my skin face! Okay, first time i applied it, it looks like too bright on me and so unnatural but after 5 minutes it blended well on my skin. When i use Medium Beige, i didn't have to use transluscent powder because my face looks too bright and i don't like it. I used my MAC blot powder in medium dark and it's really works.

 

I didn't always use foundations because foundations is heavy on my face, but this one is the exception. It feels lightweight on my face eventhough it smells not really good. Since i have a dry skin, the staying power is great. I live in a hot and humidity country so 16 hours is impossible. 9 hours is the longest time and if i just stayed in a room with air conditioner all day. People said this one has a semi matte until dewy finish, but for me it has a super matte finish. I have to use moisturizer before applied it and don't need to use face primer. If i didn't use moisturizer, after an hour my skin line will be seen.
