Fashion Illustration

Hello! I just wanted to share some of my fashion sketches for my Fashion Illustration subject. It may not be good enough. But I'm trying my best to improve. :)

Lace + Flowers bridal gown

stripes

fur coat + leather pants

Gothic + Biker chic inspired

Peacock feather + Ostrich feather

Peacock + Ostrich + Flower

Fire and Ice inspired

My fashion illustration class was really a big help for me! My drawing skills really improved. I don't know how to color, shade properly before. All thanks to my professor, Mr. Danilo Franco. He's a well known fashion designer here in Philippines.

Anyway, I used Prang watercolor and Faber Castell watercolor pencils for the shading. If you guys got some tips for me to improve more. please do comment it below. I'de be happy to hear them! ^_^

Decoden Phone~

Hello! Haven't blog for a week? lol I'm quite busy for the last few days. But hey I'm back! I'm back with my  decoden phone <3 

I was bored. So, I ended up getting my cellphone a new look. Bought the deco stickers at Gyaru Shoppe Meishoku. I highly recommended this online shop, if you're looking for gyaru needs :) they offer gyaru lashes, cute wallets, japanese cosmetics etc.with an affordable price. Just check out the site. Plus, the seller is so kind! She was so patient with me despite of my delay payment for the stuffs I bought from her (I was so busy) Thank you for that Ms. Jean. :D

Anyway, so here's the decoden phone. Pink overload of course! just like my past deco phone. What do you expect more from me? of course I've always been a pink addict. Haha Hell yeah! but this time it's hot pink.

Isn't it cute? Oh well I'm just loving the new look of my phone <3

I just wanted to share with you guys my old decoden phone. Unfortunately I lost this phone :( huhu I'm missing my old phone!

And that's all for today. I'm preparing my makeup stuffs for tomorrow's shot <3 I'll be doin hair&makeup for kids! somewhat interesting. It would be my first time to work with kids photoshoot lol :) I'm so excited <3

I'll be posting reviews and makeup tutorial next week. :) Hehe! And I'm signing off now~ bye ^_^

Late post: BTS photoshoot for Remy Martin

I was invited to be the hair and make-up artist for Remy Martin photo shoot. All thanks to Nicky! She recommended me for this shoot. Cheers for that! I'm thankful and honoured at the same time. I totally forgot when was this. But I'm pretty sure it's somewhere mid August? Oh well, it doesn't matter lol.

Anyway, I had so much fun working with the rest of the crew. Especially with my friend Nicky and models. Oh! btw, she did the styling. Good job Nicky! anyway, let's move on to that. So the concept for the shoot is "goddess-like" more on gold and bronze colors, strong eyebrows, sexy voluminous curls for the hair. Actually, the overall look is somewhat natural. Lemme share you guys some BTS pictures! :)

 I'm so loving her eyes especially the eye shape. Those eyes is the ideal eye shape of every makeup artist out there! It's called deep set eyes. The crease and the lids are big, plus she has extremely natural long lashes. I had so much fun applying eyeshadow on her eyes. Haha! You can clearly see the eyeshadow popping out! omg it's just gorgeous. How I wish my eye shape was like her's.

 Getting her hair done! Voluminous curls is glamorous and sexy. I was curling her hair in this picture. Btw, I  just used a flat iron for the curls..

 Holy crap!! You can see the big difference between our height. I'm not lucky enough because I lack height :/ but don't get me wrong, I'm contented and happy with everything that God has given me. :))

I was doin the 2nd model make up look. I don't have much picture with her because she arrived late.

The model with the stylist, Nicky Ku. 

Here's 1 take of the initial output of the shoot. Hope ya'll like it!

Gorgeous girl <3 her name is unique. Yes, her name is really "unique" such a cool name. 

Anyhow, the output was close enough to the peg.  It was such a successful photo shoot indeed.

uhmm I'll be changing the topic... 

Just so you know guys, I'm just an occasional makeup artist. I really wanna be a professional makeup artist. I'm now working with my portfolio so it would be easy for me to get hired. hella excited for it! FYI, I haven't tried/enrolled to any make-up workshops ever since. I just learned by myself, self taught and with a little help from youtube makeup guru's. It's all about experimenting and practice! I should enroll to a school that offers makeup/cosmetic realated courses soon after I graduated from School of Fashion and the Arts. :) 

That's all for today! I'm so stressed out lately. Been doing lots of school stuffs for finals. Haven't get any decent sleep. And I'm a bit sleepy now. Oh! I almost forgot. I should thank nicky again for the pictures! credits goes to her! :) Okay, that's all for now.

xoxo,

Diamond Lash Review - Glamorous Eye

Diamond Lash - is a Japanese brand known for their high quality upper and lower cosme eyelashes. These are often seen in popular Japanese magazines like Popteen and EGG. Very popular among gyaru's out there!

*Volume [10/10] - It's pretty thick and gives you a voluminous lashes. I like the fullness and how dramatic this lash looks.

*Length [10/10] -  Uber long! perfect <33 I've been looking for falsies that offers dramatic length without looking crazy, and so far this is just the perfect lash for me! You can see how long it is from the side view. And the lash band is pretty long as well. Long lash band helps creates an illusion of your eyes being longer. You may want to trim it if you find it a little bit too much for your eyes.

*Comfort [9/10] - It's moderately comfy but make sure you apply it properly or else it may tend to be itchy. The lashes is thick and a little stiff. So, you may feel the "heaviness" of the lashes. But I don't mind at all.

*Reusability [9/10] - Definitely reusable. As I say, the lash band is thick. It won't break easily. But yeah, it also depends on how you take care of your falsies. Anyway, doesn't matter to me since it comes with 5 pairs. :)

*Price / Availability [8/10] - Affordable! 860php/22usd not bad for 5 pairs of cute falsies! But the thing is, it's only available in japan. So, you will have to buy online. I bought mine at Geisha's Secret

*Overrall Rating: 9/10 I'm really impressed with these lashes! too bad it's not available in malls here in Ph D:

Here's how it looks on my eyes :)

I'm so loving these falsies like OMG! See how long the lashes are? It helps my eyes appear bigger than usual. I'll use these lashes for occasions like parties, cosplay events,etc. And oh, I know you can see the weird stuff on my eye on the 2nd pic. It's eyelid tape Hehee I have this eyelid over a year now. But I don't know how to apply it properly back then. So I just kept it. Then I decided to give it a try once again. And  BAAMM! I don't know what just happened, but I suddenly managed to apply the eyelid tape properly! *cries (tears of joy)* 

It made my eyes real big, and it unbelievably changed how my eyes looks. I'm so amazed! You can barely see it when you're just on normal view. Zoom is a no no for eyelid tapes! I bought my eyelid tape at Etude House.

Ikr, I'm forever vain! :D

with flash :P

You can see how clearly the lashes looks with flash.. So.. more pictures with flash for you! HAHAHA :D 

Okay too much flash.. It makes me looks like a ghost LOL my face is so white! Anyway, the eyelid tape is also gorgeous <3 it works well with my eyes. I'm wearing Diamond Lash - Princess Eye for my lower lid.

My Gyaru Makeup Tutorial

 Hello~! 

I've been receiving lots of messages recently requesting for a video make-up tutorial. But, this is all I can do now. Tutorial based on pictures instead of video :) I'm too shy to film a video lol :P I'll also be posting pictures of the products I used for this tutorial. YES, this post will have loads of pictures lol 

Please bear with me since this is my first ever makeup tutorial. Hehee!

Let's start the tutorial with my picture, Haha! I'm vainnn >:)) Anyway, this is the look:

So let's get started!

1. of course we'll always start with the basics. Apply moisturizer + primer + your favorite foundation/bb cream.

2. Apply concealer on your dark spots, under eyes, sides of your nose, blemishes. You may also apply concealer before foundation. But in my case, I apply it after foundation because I think it conceals more of my dark spots/blemishes. but yea it doesn't matter whichever comes first :)

 

I'm using Dolce & Gabbana concealer 

3. Set your foundation with loose powder. By doing so, it would make your skin matte and it also help to prevent your face from gettin oily. But avoid putting too much. It tends to cake up if you put too much. 

Candy Doll Loose Powder

4. Prime your lids. Priming your lids would keep your eyeshadow crease free and vibrant all day.

5. Blend the primer all over your lids using your fingers.

Smashbox Photo Finish lid primer

6. Apply eyeshadow on your lids. Use a shade close to your natural skin tone.

Majolica Majorca Single Eyeshadow 4CICB

7. Apply black eyeshadow on your crease. Applying dark eyeshadow on your crease will add depth and dimension of your eyes.

8. Use a fluffy brush for blending the eyeshadow.

9. Using again the black matte eyeshadow, apply it on your lower lids lower lids.

Dior Makeup Palette

10. Line your upper lids with liquid eyeliner. Extend the wing :DDD

Dolly Wink liquid eyeliner

11. Line your lower lids with pencil eyeliner. Just leave the waterline, do not put anything on it. This would make your eyes appear bigger. I skipped the white eyeliner because I think it's too much, and we want to achieve the big anime eyes as natural as possible. :)

Urban Decay 24/7 glide-on pencil

12. Now, put mascara on your upper lash.

13. Apply mascara on your lower lash.

Majolica Majorca Lash Expander Frame Plus

14. Define your brows. I'm using light brown shade because my hair is ash blonde. You should match your brow with the color of your hair.

15. And this is where drastic change will occur! Apply long lashes. This would make your eyes appear dramatically bigger than usual :)

 I'm using The Face Shop Falsies

16. Apply bottom lashes.

I got my bottom falsies from my friend Jemz <3 Thank you babes! :*

 It's Diamond Lash Princess eye 

17. Sorry I don't have picture for applying blush on. I'm pretty sure you guys know how to put it right? :P Anyway, just put blush on your cheeks. Smile real big then just put it on your cheeks! Haha!

I'm using The Face Shop Illuminating Cushion Blusher- 01 Pink

18. (You can skip this part) Apply highlighter above your blush it's on top of your cheekbones. This would give you dewy effect but it's all up to you if you diggin that style.

Majolica Majorca Highlighter 4CNCK (purpleish)

19. Apply lipstick! I choose a matte pink lipstick because it's my favorite :) Just apply any lipstick that you want. You can use nude, peachy shades etc. :)

Revlon Super Lustrous Lipstick matte 011 Stormy Pink

Now you're finished! You're now all dolled up :) and that's it! Hope you guys like my first ever make up tutorial :) I'm gonna make more tutorial soon! :P If you guys want to request just leave a comment or message me here or on my facebook account :)
