Makeup for Raya 2013 - Day time makeup

Since hari raya makin menjelang tiba, of course kita nak nampak cantik dan segar sentiasa. Lebih-lebih lagi orang perempuan yang selalu sibok didapur masak sampai tengah malam. We dont want to have a 'hantu kak limah' looks masa pagi raya or attending open house nanti. Here, i want to share a very simple refreshing makeup steps yang everyone can do it! it takes less than 5 minutes to have this natural looks.

Here are the basic items required

1. Avon Blusher Brush

2. IN2IT 2-way foundation

3. Thebodyshop blusher

4. Olay White Radiance serum

5. Thebodyshop lip gloss

6. IN2IT mascara

7. Lipice lipbalm

I am trying my best to use and share the most affordable and great products that will not going to harm my skin/face.

For example, I am usually use TheBodyShop All-in-One Face Base. This cost RM75.00. But this 2-way cake sangat menjimatkan. For a heavy user (apply 2 times per day), I will only buy it once every 2.5 months. But in this tutorial I replaced it with IN2IT 2-way foundation. it works almost the same with TheBodyShop face base but i can feel it makes my skin a bit dry. The price is around RM23.

Throughout this tutorial, i will share some reviews of the product that i use.

Moisturiser adalah perkara paling basic untuk menjaga kelembapan kulit. My skin is best suits with Olay products. I am usually use the moisturiser. But this time, I am going to use the serum. This product is really economic. 1 small dot untuk whole face. It is a bit pricy. But sometimes we can get it with a very low price bila watsons buat sale. 

sebelum apply bedak, perkara yang paling penting adalah lipbalm. this is to ensure bibir lembap. selain tu, it helps untuk dapat warna lipstick yang sebenar (without pengaruh 'ikut darah'), dan lipstick tahan lebih lama.

Some people lebih suka apply foundation, then baru loose powder. Since i don't want my face to feel 'cakeky', i prefer to have all in one powder, despite foundation selalu mengecewakan bila tak pandai nak apply, dan loose powder asek berterabur dalam handbag. Euh!

Since bedak ni sekali dengan foundation, add more on darker (eye area). Untuk lips, we need to tap-tap atas bibir. Please jangan sapu... just tap-tap. It will blend dengan lipbalm tadi. Our target here to get a pale face.

Blusher helps a lot in making our face looks fresh! I love blusher from thebodyshop. sebab... economic, protect my skin, and long-lasting. Untuk blusher yang bersaiz kecil, it can last up-to 1.5 year. This time i choose yang ada shimmering. kalau ambil gambar, it will gives a special effect yang berkilat. selain tu, blusher from thebodyshop tidak menyebabkan jeragat. Yes, zaman dulu i used to pakai blusher dari brand A***. after 2 years, memang nampak kesan jeragat di pipi. :(

For this time, gunakan blusher yang berwarna pink untuk disapu disekitar cheek area sampai ke bahagian tepi hidung. Avoid bahagian muncung hidung. Senyum untuk dapatkan cheek area tersebut. once done dengan pipi dan sisi hidung, sapu sedikit warna pink di bahagian dagu.

Now is the time untuk highlighting. Highlight di bahagian tulang pipi (only 1 line di atas tulang pipi) dan bahagian tengah hidung.

Mascara is optional. Kadang-kadang termalas juga nak apply. as usual, bila nak pakai mascara kene pakai zig-zag. I am using mascara from in2it sebab mudah nak cuci. guna air, kepit bulu mata dengan jari, tarik. tak perlu makeup removal. well, i used to pakai brand lain... ya Allah, tercabut bulu mata pun tak hilang2.

now, final step. lip gloss from thebodyshop. I love this colour. nampak natural. Dulu I have a nightmare dengan lipgloss brand S********. Asal pakai je mesti bibir pecah. and the lipgloss berbau chemical. But this lipgloss sangat berbeza. sangat moisturising and long lasting. You can get this for RM39. By applying lipbalm, and foundation+bedak dulu pada bibir, we can get the actual color of the lipgloss/lipstick.

and that is all.
