Ettusais Brow tutorial

Thursday, November 04, 2010

Brows are one of the most important features on your face!
It frames your eyes, if your brows shape suits your face shape,
it will perk you up and give you an instant face-lift!



Even if your makeup techniques are damn awesome,
if you forgot to groom your brows it'll look so wrong!

Uni-brow for you?


For example Megan Fox, yes she had work done for her face, but the brows really do make quite a bit of different doesn't it?

I don't know about you but I'm really anal when it comes to grooming my brows..
Really dislike having those little black dots (growing brow hair) hanging around my brows.

Even for my boyf, whenever i see his brows growing out of shape, I'll neaten it up for him. I'm no brow shaping expert so i can't give any advice on shaping them..

For me, I'd drop by a beauty salon to get my brows shaped properly,
then as it grows out, I'll neaten it out myself with a facial hair razor!

You can get these from Sasa, It's really a bang for your bucks!
A few dollars for maybe 2-3 razors, I'm still using those razors that i bought at least 2 years ago.
I think these razors are super quick for neatening up those short short hair,
with tweezers I'm always afraid to over-pluck.

Save the trips to the beauty salon, it's too impractical for me!
Wtf, to trim a bit of my brows every week go to the beauty salon?
Waste time, Waste $$$ !




Having a beautiful brow shape that suits your face is just step one,
Not everybody has beautiful lush brows that needs no further grooming,
but we can always fill our brows in to create a nice full brow!

I'm currently using Ettusais Pencil Brow Liner, they actually have it in 5 different shades available, pick one to suit your hair color OK! http://bit.ly/avh0te

i have it in 2 different colors,
Since i recently dyed my hair black, i'm using shade Dark Brown..
when i had really light brown hair i used Yellow Brown!




Here's how i groom my brows:


picnikfile_f7rnys

Using the razor, get rid of all the small brow hairs.
(I do this maybe every other day!)



picnikfile_hJ-aBo

Tips: Always make sure that your brow pencil is sharpen so you'll have the sharp clean look!




picnikfile_q7Ix4R

Start filling in your brows, starting from the tail of the brow.




picnikfile_6j0dxS

fill in the middle part...



picnikfile_WQZwxH

I like to outline my brows with reall7y soft strokes, on the bottom of the brow
from the head connecting to the middle part of the brows.


picnikfile_7Tcw7i

then fill in with light, the head of the brow.
(use lesser pressure when you're drawing the head part, if it's too dark it'll look very unnatural!)



picnikfile_LZui8L

Using an angled eyeliner brush, sweep through the brows from head to tail
to "spread" the colour if remove any harsh lines!



picnikfile_IrkYD0



picnikfile_bGVRDs

Done! (:








Even without any eye makeup, nicely groomed brows make your eyes pop more and much neater!



picnikfile_ihTtiB


Use the brush comb to "spread the color", apply more pressure
while combing the "head" of the brow, so that it spreads more evenly and more natural!

Yep! That's it! Just do your regular makeup and you'll find having a nicely groomed eyebrow makes you look much cleaner + look sharper overall!

Oh yes, what are you doing this long weekend?
As usual mine is packed with activities already, rest well this 3 days and recharge your batteries! (:

I have a few pairs of jeggings and i wear them
to work almost everyday . :x



Monday i wore the Drape Tunic in Nude with the a pair of jeggings since the tunic was a definitely too short to be worn alone to the office, will pair it with opaque leggings when i'm out shopping/clubbing thou!

urban4

Added a pearl/gold/bronze drape necklace from Forever21!
Love to shop at Forever21.com for their affordable and gorgeous accessories.

Amazon kindle 3

Sunday, October 24, 2010

Sometimes i wonder, the people who don't read.. what are they thinking?
Maybe because as the only child, i have long period of time when i was alone
and just spending alot of my time on my own, just reading.

I feel the constant need to reach for my novels, especially when i'm going through a more stressful phrase, i cannot imagine not being able to just relax and "escape" to a different world even for a mere 30 minutes a day.



Just last week i receive probably one of the best gift i could ever get..
Was having dinner with boyf's parents at his place, and DHL came and dropped a parcel for.. ME!

picnikfile_kBEVNX

picnikfile_jyMyTx

picnikfile_KRNrrb


It's an Amazon Kindle 3 Wi-fi version, my 20th birthday + our 6th year anniversary gift! I really really love it, it's MAD cool. Thank you baby for the best gift ever!


picnikfile_WNN-BJ

It's crazy thin and light, don't have to lug a novel all over in my purse everyday to work from now on!

The E-Ink kindle uses is crazy awesome, really no glare,
it's like a real novel without the weight!
I'm currently reading Safe Haven By Nicolas Sparks.



Bought a super sweet Snow white kindle pouch from Etsy after i received my Kindle3

IMG_4397

The seller is so cute! Hahaha, cannot resist cutesy things.

IMG_4399

IMG_4400

Permanent "home" for my precious kindle!

IMG_4401

Will be sharing how to purchase a kindle 3 wi-fi and using a kindle
in singapore in my next post! (Cos the services for kindle is actually
not extended to Singapore, for dunno what crazy reasons!!!)




Was really happy I could spend on precious saturday with boyf last weekend,
since i started my new job, i'm working office hours and boyf usually HAS to
work on sat/sun. So we haven't been spending much quality time together..

I mean, work for the entire week of course you'd want your boyf to be able
to enjoy the weekends with you, go for a short weekend trip to batam for cheap seafood/cableskiing, go on a date for movies & shopping session with the boyf
OR even to nua at home.. i'll be happy and satisfied.

But we just weren't spending anytime together,
and i kind of persuaded boyf to take up a job offer (office hours too!) that his friend was telling him about when they met at a dinner.. and it's confirmed, he's taking up the job!!!

I can't find words to explain how relieved i am, i truly felt that our relationship
was almost till the limit and i was not going to be able to stand having a boyf
whose schedule is totally opposite from mine..
How can any relationship last long this way?
I find it so tiring and sickening.

But now.. i feel so blessed and happy!
Every precious weekend could be spend in his arms. (:





Ettusais Beauty Diary: Shine free & pore less?!

Saturday, October 23, 2010




I've been fighting with my crazy oily skin for years, blotters.. constant touching-up
to cover the oily shine which is oh-so-unattractive, doesn't help the fact that singapore is such a humid country!

And you know how your foundation will streak OR 卡粉
(have powder stuck at like the sides of your nose etc)
I hate imperfection!

There's just 2 steps you how to do to achieve
shine-free & porcelain-like flawless base!



picnikfile_ugK6ab

Apply the Ettusais Base Version Up UV, this is a makeup base with SPF20 PA++
So you can skip your sunscreen after using this makeup base, awesome!

Great for people like me who wake up at 6am to makeup then have to rush to work already, the lesser steps the better! (:

The Base Version Up retails at $41!





Then.. check out the new Ettusais Duo foundation!

picnikfile_nsiGMs

I'm totally in love with the new case, it's so girly.. pink with printed lace designs.




Why is it called Duo foundation?
It has a Shine Prevention Powder (Lighter colour) this powder does not provide any coverage but as it's name suggests, it prevents SHINE!!! Enemy of the oily skinned girls like yours truly!!!

picnikfile_ytAz3x

So you apply the Shine Prevention Powder on your oily T-Zone (Forehead & Nose) with the sponge, I use it on my cheek too, sigh! I'm oily everywhere. lol
The Shine Prevention Powder works by absorbing the sebum and keep your skin looking smmm-mmmoooooth!

picnikfile_3YfIFS

picnikfile_14k_Sd

Then apply the zero pore powder all over your face.
How can one foundation contain so much goodness, shine-free, zero-pores coverage and to make it more perfect, it even have SPF 16 PA++!


For the Ettusais Duo, it's available in 5 shades that suits our asian's skintone,
it retails at $48 for the foundation, $20 for the gorgeous case.
For a limited time only, there's a special set of Duo foundation + case for only $56.

I need to go stock up on this foundation!!!


picnikfile_srgrLG

Ta-daaaaah! Flawless skin that lasts!



The best thing i love about this foundation is that it doesn't cakes up at all!

Tried and tested, i was out shopping the other day, i was sweating/getting oilier by every second.. and i touched up afew times that day while i was out
and it never cakes up, EVER! Major love.


Definitely one of my HG foundations from now on!

Advertorial: falsies application

Wednesday, October 20, 2010


Sponsered Advertorial:


We all know one of the tricks to make your eyes look bigger is to wear falsies,
Since as asians we're not blessed with long, thick lashes,
wearing falsies gives you a full set of lashes, and adds definition to your eyes.

I didn't really like the idea of having eyelash extension cos i feel that
it's a wee bit harsh and harmful to your eyes by a certain extend..
so falsies is really the best alternative!

I've been wearing falsies for at least 4 years now, and recently Patisserie Carato
sent me 2 boxes of falsies and i have tried and loved the effect!


picnikfile_PGu_oG

Picnik collage

I tried #1 & #2, criss cross & full natural falsies. Both are under the "natural" range.

it cost $15/box of 10 pairs of falsies, see this link for all the designs they carry,
these falsies are all instock so you won't have to wait any longer than 2 days
to receive it in your mailbox!



Here is how i normally apply my falsies:


picnikfile_t9g6PE

apply a thin layer of glue on the bone of the lashes..
Leave it to dry for at least 5-10 seconds, when it's in a semi dry
it's actually stickier and easier to put on!



Picnik collage

1. Make sure you fix on the front part of the falsies..
2. Then fix the middle part, and the end of the falsies..
3. Done! (:


Not thick enough? You can always layer another pair of falsies on to make it thicker and fuller! (:





picnikfile_DLBd5n


It's really very natural right!

Just mention that you're from TheLuckiestChick when ordering
and the owner of Pastisserie Carato will give you free registered postage
of a purchase of 3 boxes of lashes and above,
and with every purchase you stand to win a super adorable pair of earrings!
