Today's Make Up: The "Flirtatious" "Pixie" Name "Ethereal"

Heeeey guuuuys! How are y'all doing today? Can't really complain here in the AZ, maybe just the fact that the AC is turned back on in my house "mid Winter". I can already tell that once Summer officially comes, it will be just a whole 'nother level of scorching heat... Yay!... Fun... :/ On the up side though, I'd rather deal with heat than the cold. Ugh, shivers..

Annnnnywho, had a little outing with my bestie today, first time in a while actually. It was a chill day, didn't do anything fancy. So ya know, the makeup wasn't at all over the top, just a few picker upper for my eyes and a pop of the lips was all I needed.

One of the main reason why I haven't been wearing all that much makeup lately is because a certain special someone has told me on numerous occasions that they prefer "natural beauty" over ya know, too much makeup. Due to my diligent usage of my DIY masks, my skin has been behaving oh so well! I get an occasion pimple every now a then but for the first time in a long time, my skin is pretty clear and very healthy. Hence why I don't find the need to cake on foundation or even BB Cream as of late. Own your beauty gurl, be as comfortable in your own skin as possible because you shouldn't hide behind makeup; makeup should only help you enhance that natural beauty of yours. :P

Also, I would like to apologize in advance for my will be lacking of new materials for the next week and a half. It will probably be a whole lot of throwbacks and flashbacks. The reason being, Lunar New Year is next Thursday. As I've mentioned last year, Lunar New Year also known as Chinese New Year is REALLY big for me as a Vietnamese AND as a Buddhist. There are a whole lot of tedious tasks that must be completed before Thursday so it's basically work, work, work all day, errrrrday for me until then. Of course blogging will still be my first priority, I will try to wake up earlier than planned to get something new in, but if I cannot, I apologize in advance.

I haven't been getting much sleep lately so this Concealer for Eyes is VERY much needed. Just a little bit will go a long way because too much will just make the eyes look heavy and cakey. To further help brighten up my eyes but also keeping it natural, I swept an iridescent shadow all over my lids before thinly lining my eyes just to make them appear wider. Then I went in with a champagne color shadow pencil on my under eye to get that doe-eye, nice and round, wide and awake.

A bare face and natural eyes calls for a nice full brow. Again, I have thick, full brows so there isn't much I needed to do but fill in certain sparse areas.

Besides framing my face with a full set of brows, I also rocked nice bold lips. Today's lip choice is Revlon's Lacquer Balm, this is the shiny one out of the two. The color I rocked is called Flirtatious, a beautiful reddish-berry shade. I usually prefer matte lips but whatever, something new sometimes isn't all that bad.
