FOTD: Gyaru inspired makeup

Hi y'all!
In my last show recommentdations post, I mentioned I started watching an anime called Gal to kyouryuu and I've been loving it! So I thought it'd be fun to try Kaede's makeup look.

She's a gyaru girl but at the same time, her makeup is not super extra. I actually think it's kinda cute. Lots of glitter and lots of highlighter. I can't remember the last time I wore this much makeup. Haha.

She also has a nice tan~

I kinda feel the highlight of this look is definitely the eyes. With metallic colors, glitter and super long lashes. I didn't have falsies so I applied like 4 coats of mascara.

As for eyeshadows, I went for bronze and brown shades, as well as white glitter on the lower lid.

I don't think my eyes ever looked this big before.

I also used more peachy shades for blush and highlighter as an attempt to get a tanner look.

Lips were a mix of a sligthly pearlish crayon and a bit of a glossy lipgloss. Long time no glossy lips.

Here are all the products I used to create this look:

☆ Wet n Wild MegaGlo Highlighter Illuminatrice "Crystal High"
☆ Mary Kay At Play Matte Liquid Makeup "Very light"
☆ L.O.C.K. Color Lock n' Tap Cushion Blush "2 Bronze Rose"
☆ Mary Kay foundation primer sunscreen SPF 15
☆ Bissú Eyebrow Pencil "Lechero"
☆ Mary Kay Volumizing Brow Tint "brunette"
☆ Camaleon Magic Colourstick
☆ L'oreal Miss Manga Mascara "Black 373"
☆ Essence Wood you love me? Duo eye pencil "02 my tree love"
☆ Essence Be kissed by the moon eye and face palette "03"
☆ Miniso Three Color Eyeshadow "Brown"
☆ Mary Kay liquid eyeliner "black"
☆ Jafra Royal Luxury lipgloss "Regal Blush"
☆ Lime Crime Prep & Prime Makeup Setting Spray

And, there you have it. My attempt to create a gyaru look. I actually liked it~ maybe I could try to wear it more often.

Bye bye~ ♡

FOTD: 2 looks using the Sailor Moon x ColourPop eyeshadows

Hey there dollies!
I barely wear makeup these days but I thought it'd be fun to play with it a little and create 2 different looks using some these eyeshadows.
My makeup is never too dramatic, I try to keep things light and pretty, hehe. I tried to choose the shades I wouldn't normally go for, whch are mostly bright pink, yellow and orange. I'll list the rest of the products I used for each look.

If you want to read more about this palette, click here! There's a separate post dedicated to it with swatches and all that fun stuff.

Look #1

This first look is pretty natural even tho I used some bright colors on the eyes. That's why I wanted to keep the rest of it kinda neutral.

For the eyes I used "Justice" as a base and "Love" on the outer corner of the eye. And I applied some "Silver Miracle" to the lower eyelid to add a pop of shimmer. 

I have to say I love the shimmers in this palette.

Sadly, my camera barely catches the shimmers. 

Here are the other products I used along with the eyeshadows:

☆ Miniso Mini Pony Shell Makeup Base #02 Pink

☆ Mary Kay At Play Matte Liquid Makeup "Very light"

☆ Bissú Eyebrow Pencil "Lechero"

☆ Essence Velvet Matt Lipstick #23

☆ MAC Powder Blush "Flower"

☆ L'oreal Miss Manga Mascara "Black 373"

☆ Avon Super Definition Liquid Eyeliner "Black"

☆ Wet n Wild MegaGlo Highlighter Illuminatrice "Crystal High"

☆ Lime Crime Prep & Prime Makeup Setting Spray

Look #2

Even tho this look and the first one look pretty similar, the shades I used are completely different. I applied "Moon Castle" as a base, "Tuxedo Rose" on the outer corner to give it a pop of color and "Mare Serenitatis" in the lower eyelid.

Here are the other products I used along with the eyeshadows:

☆ MAC Studio Match Master Foundation SPF15 "NC25"

☆ Essence I ♡ Extreme Crazy Volume Mascara

☆ L.O.C.K. Color Lock n' Tap Cushion Blush "1 Coral Pink"

☆ Revlon Photo ready Rose Glow Primer

☆ Maybelline Colorsensational lipstick "875 Vivid Rose"

☆ NYX Eyebrow pencil "EP01 Light brown"

☆ Mary Kay liquid eyeliner "black"

☆ Wet n Wild MegaGlo Highlighter Illuminatrice "Crystal High"

☆ Lime Crime Prep & Prime Makeup Setting Spray

I've tried the other colors before because I do feel comfortable wearing gold and purple on my eyes. Let me know if you'd like to see some looks with those too.

"You're making me blush!" | My latest blushes |

Hi there dollies!
Blushes are something I've been loving for some time now. I can't get enough of them! And even tho I usually go for pinks and peachy shades, I like to experiment with other colors from time to time too.

Today I'm gonna show you the latest addition to my blush family. Hehe.

I'm gonna start with the oldest, and they are from L.O.C.K Color. This is a brand developed by Korean makeup artists. I didn't really know much about it until its fun and cute packaging caught my eye.
I know that Korean makeup usually has good quality So I decided to give them a try.

I got 2 of their cushion blushes out of a collection of 4. It is actually my first time trying cushion blushes and even tho I messed up applying too much product the first time, I've been loving them. The application is easy once you get a hold of it and it has a very natural and fresh finish.

The first one is in number 1: Coral pink.
As the name says it, it is coral shade with a pink undertone. It is very bright and it adds the perfect pop of color to my cheeks.

The next one is number 2: Bronze Rose, which is a darker shade. It makes me feel a little tanned whenever I use it! (if that's even possible considering I'm on the pale side...)

They don't have a matte finish or shimmer, they just look like a fresh, natural blush. I usually like to apply some highlighter on top to kinda seal the color and make it stay in for longer and of course, to add some glow to it.

Durability wise they do last for a long time, pigmentation is also really good and their packaging is just lovely. I love the details such as how the girl's cheeks change color according to the shade of the blush or the pretty sponge to apply the product.

I still want to get the other two shades, I remember one was a lilac shade...I'm curious!!

The next one is kind of a dupe for the Too Faced Sweethearts Perfect Blush.
This one's called Blushing Hearts Triple Baked Blusher. It's a lot cheaper, quality is really good and,  the presentation is as pretty.

This one comes with 3 different shades of pink: A pastel pink, pale pink and a slightly peachy pink. All of them with a shimmery finish.
It is pigmented and lasts for a long time, giving my cheeks a nice glow and blushed effect.

The last one is from Yoyoso and it's the first makeup product I try from all the cute stuff they have. It's the Vitality Floral Beauty Art Blush Powder Blusher (longest name ever) in pink.
It kinda reminds me of the TonyMoly Crystal blusher. They are both very subtle when it comes to pigmentation but, they do the job. I think most Korean blushes are like that anyway.

It comes with 2 different shades of pink, both matte.
Even tho the presentation is very simple and clean but, the details the pressed powder has makes it super pretty and girly.
I believe they had other 2 shades. I only remember an orange one that looked pretty good too.
I have to say I liked this product! It makes me want to try other products Yoyoso has to offer.

There you go, some of the "new" makeup I've been trying, liking and using lately. Let me know if you're interested in seeing more of the latest products I have.
