Real technique brushes

Are you looking for a decent brush with a decent price ?

Yes, I am. I found this set of brush when I was in London. They are a brush collection called 'Real Techniques' launched by famous make-up guru and youtuber, 'Pixiwoo'. If you are a beauty obsessed girl like me, you would know and have watched some makeup tutorial videos from pixiwoo. 

Their brush collections are very practical and affordable. I really like 'fine liner brush' ($6). It's easy to use to apply gel eyeliner to create from natural, dramatic and cat eyeliner. I also love 'lash-brow groomer' ($6). It is 2 in 1 brush. It can be used to groom your brows and comb your eyelashes (after applying mascara). The 'powder brush' ($10) is also very practical. I used it for applying finishing power and foundation power. The brush is soft so you will not feel like it is attacking your skin as you feel from a low quality powder brush.

Graduation party make up look

My graduation party, there're official part with receiving certificate, dinner and after party. So the look I created for this graduation was kinda party look. There are three keys to achieve this look.

1. For eyes, I used pink champagne colour called 'Sin' from Naked palette 1 on an entire eyelid especially in the middle to brighten the eyes. I applied dark purple colour, 'Busted' from Naked palette 2 near the conner of the eyes. To make the look more intense, I used a deep purple colour called 'Ink' from Sleek ultra matters v2 Darks Palette ($11.99).

2. To make the eyes look much more dramatic and bigger, I put two paris of false lashes. The first layer is Ardell 101 Demi Black and the second layer is MAC false lashes no. 4. Why I have to use 2 paris of lashes ?  One pair is too simple for party look and one pair of really dramatic false lashes is too much for this graduation party. Two pair of medium false lashes make eyes dramatic and bigger but still natural.

3. The eyes are already intense smoky eyes, I prefer to keep the lips neutral. I chose my signature lipstick, Tom Ford lip colour in No. 7 'Pink Dusk' (£37.00) and finished by using NYX butter gloss in Tiramisu ($5).

Giorgio Armani Lip Gloss no. 400

I have seen this red lip gloss, Lip Maestro no. 400 ($33), for a year but hasn't had a chance to buy it.

It was until I had an opportunity being on runway and the look for the show should be glamorous. So the super red lip would be the right answer.

The red lip gloss no. 400 gives you a sleek, classic and true red lip colour. It's moreover brighten up your teeth. If you want a glamorous and luxurious red lips. This is the solution ;)
