I’ve been getting a ton of questions about my beauty regimen, and even though I’ve already answered them here and here and a few more posts after that, let me share with you a few more tips that I think will help your beauty woes. Enjoy!
1. For perfectly flawless skin, wear your concealer post foundation to ensure that those unwanted spots (like pimples, freckles etc) are well hidden. Just be sure to have products that match your skin tone, and that you blend them well together. I recommend Shu Uemura’s face architect foundation. This light liquid base comes in a pump bottle (very hygienic) and is very skin friendly. Compliment this with Touche Eclat spot concealer for a no-cake no-break finish.


2. Struggling with those tiny lashes that just don’t seem to show? Double, triple, or even quadruple coat your mascara! My favorite save has always been Maybelline’s Volume Express line. They give my lashes the perfect thickness while maintaining the curl. Still not satisfied? Finish off your volumizer with length enhancing formulations like Majolica Majorca’s lash expander mascara.


3. Chubby cheeks begone! A simple mix of bronzers and highlighters will make sculpting your face into shape a breeze! Apply bronzer on the hollows of your cheeks (right below the cheek bones) and gradually gradient upwards, framing the sides of your face with a subtle shadow. Then, add some highlights for a cute dewy glow. Apply your highlighter on the tops of your cheekbones and lightly on your T zone, although, for oily skin, I recommend skipping that last part.


4. For small eyes that want to go bigger- shading is your best friend. My favorite mixes are matte browns that mimic your skin’s natural shadows. Practice blending to get that perfect gradient effect, and watch your eyes pop! My favorite eye shadow palette is- Urban Decay’s Naked!

5. Always ensure that your make up brushes are clean and happy. It will make applications thoroughly easy! Plus, it helps prevent breakouts! I use i.d.’s Well-Cared for brush conditioner.

6. Clean your face before you sleep is a big fat MUST! My pre-bedtime best friend is Cetaphil, because it’s so mild and effective, I’m ensured of a clean finish without adding damage to my sensitive skin. Plus, there’s a reason why all Dermatologists recommend it!

Hope that helps!












This really helps my problems, especially on finding the right eye shadow. I’m so happy that I am well informed with these products and I’m sure I’m gonna grab some of these. I will surely buy them. Love it! Thank you! :”)
Yay thanks! Glad it helped!
how do you find the sephora bronzer, highlight and blush compact? I never really trusted the sephora brand, I like the store but not their products. Kudos for you, for having the Naked palette! I had mine for quite sometime, it’s the go to product for your eyes
I love the Sephora disk!!!! I use it everyday !!!!
Your makeup is so simple, but it’s really, really pretty… but I think it’s because your face does all the work, and so you don’t really need that much makeup at all.

Hehe thanks Mae. My make up is the same all the time since I only know one style hahaha
Oh, just a tip from a beauty junkie and beauty researcher: per aestheticians, my favorite makeup artist and creative director of No. 7, Lisa Eldridge and some health scientists…
To sanitize your hands AND makeup brushes, all you need is a mild cleanser, warm water and scrubbing and rubbing for 20 seconds. You don’t actually need to invest in expensive brush cleaners when a mild shampoo will do the trick. Since it’s PH balanced and formulated to clean hairs, clarifying shampoos do really well with cleaning makeup and debris off brushes. I usually get a cheap hydrating formula, and then coat my brushes in the shampoo, wet them with warm water and then gently “paint” or rub them against the palm of my hand for 20 seconds and then rinse until the water runs clear. The rubbing action and 20 seconds gives the cleanser enough time to delodge the debris and also thoroughly sanitize the bristles.
I’ve saved myself TONS of moolah this way! Sorry to be a nosy neighbor, but I thought you might appreciate it!
