some inspiration (vera wang's) for my newly custom designed wedding dress, am really excited about what's coming for this one though. might be interesting, and fun...

FIFA world cup Italy look!
like i always starts with, a prepped face...after benefit lemon aid, here's the start, coastal scents shimmer red and matte red at 1/3 of the inner corner of the eyelids. next would be the shimmer pearl white color on the second 1/3 of the lids. remember to blend well...next, would be nice shimmery green. now, i use all the shimmery colors, coz it does make the difference between the matte and shimmery, and i guess with such a rich mixture of colors, i'd prefer the shimmery colors. however, if you do prefer matte colors in anyway, you can switch to it. this creates what it calls 'wave' technique. it's widely used by most of the make up artists to play with colors. here, i use it as the basics which then, i'll add somemore things. here i add little bit of blue hues at the outer corner of the eyes. then, drag the blue down to the lower lashline to create some color on the lower lashline. this is roughly it. after that, is just some smoothing out... additional of medium pink brown color on the socket (socket area is the area where you can touch your eye bone that's protecting the eyeball) to create depth. add a pearly highlight color on the brown bone. then you're done. i use fake eyelashes from vietnam courtesy of eyelashesguru... and also the black gel eyeliner to create the definition around the eyes. and here's the result... i used givency blush prism again! and the face shop shimmer blush for the blush on, and dior lipgloss.

FIFA world cup ENGLAND look
this is meant for all the MU fans out there, i know some of my cousins are:) however, i dragged my sista to do this tutorial, coz i thought it would be kinda different. so here it is:)
i didn't really show my sista's bare face, since she's got lots of acne scars, which i guess might not be nice showing here, but this is all the prepped up look. since she's just 15, i didn't really shape up the brows for her (as my mom would be shouting if i do...) and not much of the shading i did. here,she's prepped with feverlet BB cream ( to soothe the pimples and little acnes also) and then i add with shiseido sheer make up enhancer in pearl white, kanebo coffret d'or beauty essence liquid foundation in ocre-B. next i top it up with la praire cellular treatment loose powder.
zoom into the eyes, before i add colors, i also prepped the eyes, with benefit lemon aid, and coastal scents matte white color on the whole eyelids. then i add coastal scents shimmery pearl white to inner half of the lid. then i add coastal scents matte red mixed with shimmery red on the outer half of the eyelids to create an outer V. if you realize that already, the red looks like the letter "V".
next, blend well of the 2 colors, and add black color starting on the outer half of the lashline outwards, creating a little 'wing-ed' look! it's to give the illusion of length and depth.
go as closer to the lashline. again, blend well. then, using a very small pencil brush, add the mixture of reds onto the lower lashline. it's up to 2/3 of the lower lashline to create the shadow, and depth. then add the black gel liner (here i use bobbi brown long wear gel eyeliner in black ink... it's almost dried up though, thinking of getting a new one... hehehe:P ) on the upper lids, going from very thin on the inner corner of the eyes, and going thicker and thicker as it goes to the outer end of the eyes. with this kind of eyes (deep creased), make sure that the liner is thick enough to be noticeable, unless it would just dissappear when the eyes open. then add the black liner to the outer half of the lower lashline as well. it's to create a more dramatic look.
in addition, fake eyelashes are added to create that dramatic look for England. it's the same set of the fake eyeslashes i put on myself for the brazil look! it's just so nice that i had to use it twice...:P
for the cheeks, i add the prism colors from givency, and l'oreal glam blush. love love the colors too!! and for the lips, i add a nude brown color by dior and clear red glittery gloss by sisley. it's just perfect for this look. oh ya, and also i add the same pearly white color to the 1/3 inner corner of the lower lashline (the part whereby wasn't touched by the reds), besides to be as a whole, it's also to open up the eyes.however, make sure those of you who has puffy eyes to avoid this technique. it will make your eyes looked even puffier.

world cup BRAZIL look!!this is a make up look that can be applied to anyone. my eyes is the kind not really suitable for colors, however, i did this anyway just for you girls. it's also to celebrate the FIFA world cup 2010 which will be conducted in south africa, one of my favorite place to be in actually.
now, begin with a prepped face. i've already done with my moisturizer, make up base, foundation (i used feverlet BB cream for this though... ), and some shadings in sunkissed areas, like jaw lines, temples, and my sides of the face so as to let the face appear smaller (since i'm quite plum...:P )i used estee lauder bronzer for this...zoomed into the eyes area, i prepped my eyes with eye primer (benefit lemon aid), and starts with very nice yellow. here i used red earth acid 5 in yellow, mixed with coastal scents second yellow (2nd row, 2nd column) and i add a little of yellow shimmer by the face essentials dusting powder in yellow. the yellow goes all the way up to the brow bone. mind the lashline, try not to leave any gaps there.
next, add the green. here i used the make up forever star powder no. 916 mixed with coastal scents third green (3rd column). make sure to color the outer half of the eyes. and blend well (try not to let any harse line shows)...
next, add the blue starting at the lashline of the outer half of the eyes. goes all the way to the end, and all the way up to create a tail..here i used lancome focus duo in midnight blue, mixed with coastal scents last blue. will update again on the number. it looks abit turqouise here though, but in real, it is a royal blue. after that, using a pencil brush, drag the blue to the lower lashline, to the outer half of the eyes. and blend using q-tip or small brush.
then, add the make up forever star powder green to the 1/3 of the middle part of the lower lashline. then, add a little of the glittery cream from anna sui, at the inner corner of the lower lashline, and add the shimmery yellow from the face essentials using a very small brush (short definition brush), and a little of the yellowish gold diamond powder from make up forever.

this is roughly all done with the shadows, next will be the usual liner. here, i use bobbi brown long wear gel eyeliner in black ink. just create a very thin, natural liner. since it has all the colors above, i don't want the liner to outdo the shadows.
the follows by fake eyelashes. here i show the unused fake eyelashes. it's from taiwan and a courtesy from eyelashguru...i love this, coz it's does create volume, and yet, still look natural.

lastly, the rest of the face. since the eyes are the main point, i just used a little of shimmery pinkish golden blush on for the cheekbones, and coral lipglosses (here, i mixed l'oreal juicy glam no. it's a very nice coral gloss, but i find it too red for my lips, since i have red lips, so i add dior lipgloss no. it's a very nice golden shimmery clear gloss)
hope you girls enjoy it. anyways, i'm going to do quite alot of other world cup this month. so anybody have any requests, drop me a message in the shout out box yeah?:)
