Make-up Tutorial: Simple Statement Make-up


One day (the last day one of my classmates were going to be studying in our university 'cause she's going to Taiwan) I wore my maxi-dress and thought that it would be too un-glam to wear it without make-up. And I found this lipstick in my mum's make-up drawer and decided to just go with it.

Simplicity but definition is the key to the look, though there is a lot to improve on =P

Here's a revised look. The focus is mainly on the lips, complimented by strong brows and matte skin. What I used for the original impromptu look was powder foundation, the lipstick and brow pencil.


I filmed my first ever video make-up tutorial =D



Here's the product list:

  2. HELLO! Your tutorial is not bad, simple and clear. My suggest is reducing the video length to 8 mins max because not many people prefer more than 8 mins makeup videos (after research lah). BUTTTT YOUR FIRST TUT IS BETTER THAN MINE HAHA! I really have NO IDEA how to take video tut because my camera doesn't come with a front screen. :D Maybe you should teach me how! XD
