Easy Steps: From Plain to
Polished!
Hi! Akhirnyaa.. this is my very first
makeup post. Judul post ini adalah From Plain to Polished - simply because
that's just the look i'm going for. Polished. Penggunaan kosmetik sehari-hari
bagi perempuan aku rasa udah umum banget. Bahkan laki-laki juga, setuju nggak
sih (them hair pomade and stuffs) :p Tapi, the idea of wearing makeup everyday
suka disalahartikan dengan istilah 'dempul' - pokoknya terkesan heboh, menor
dan unnatural. Nah, untuk membuktikan penggunaan makeup setiap hari bisa memberi
kesan 'polished', let me present you my go to routine yang super simple, tapi
presentable :)
1. Bare Face, Baby!

SORRY senyumnya gak enak bgt :(

Okay so... I'm not sorry for showing
my flaws! Yes, there are a lot of red spots going on there due to the
post-jerawat-season of my life (super telat, SMP dan SMA gak pernah!). But we
girls have concealer, a.k.a our saviour, the love of my life. Before anything
else, prep your face with moisturizer or sun block or morning cream or even any
primer that suits you best. Nah, menurutku ini penting banget karena bikin muka
‘licin’, yang akan membantu kita di tahap-tahap selanjutnya.
2. Cover Up
If you don’t have any discoloration
with your skin, please skip this step. Aku sendiri nggak
nyaman pakai base tebal kalau nggak perlu-perlu banget.
Jadi umumnya sehari-hari sih pakai concealer aja untuk problem area. Biar
nggak terkesan 'cakey' dan berat juga mukanya. Aku hanya pakai di
beberapa troubled spot, lalu diblend pakai fiber brush. Nah, pemakaian
moisturizer atau any creamy product sebagai primer menurutku bikin proses
blending ini gampang, jadi ke-blend naturally dengan kelicinan primer. Try it
yourself and tell me how it goes! Oh and don’t forget to set it with a desired
powder. I used big flat brush as it gets enough product to only mattify the
concealed area.

setting powder:
o'leary compact powder (no 2)

ha! you're fooled by the magic
of concealer

3. Brows like a Boss
Brows… brows I love. For this kinda
look, my tip is to not overdo your brows. Keep it clean and nice. For me,
my routine is always outlining it first with a brow pencil, then filling it
with a bolder product. Don’t worry about the sudden intense look kalau kalian
belum pernah ngisi alis, the eye makeup will eventually balance it.

brow products: viva brow
pencil, anastasia beverly hills dip brow
pomade (dark brown) and angled
brush (masami shouko 317)

4. Mascara, and Mascara Only
I don’t wanna try to hard perfecting
an eyeliner yang umumnya end up jadi super tebel, untuk daily makeup yang
santai mascara cukup banget kok bikin mata lebih ‘polished’. Curl it first if
that’s your normal routine (I always do), then apply coatsss of mascara :D (big
fan right here)

5. Lips
This is very optional. Some people
like to apply tinted balm only, liptint or even lipstick. This time I’m using a
neutral lipstick, and blend it a lil with a dark red lip liner in the middle.
The neutral lipstick is simply too pale for my skin.
 |
nay :(
 |
yay :) i put just enough
lipliner in the middle
area to add some red shade
|
 |
lipstick: revlon 003 mauve it
over (very, very recommended!)
lipliner: aubeau rmh 721
|
….And you’re basically done! So I
guess using a lil bit of cosmetics here and there is no harm if you do it the right
way. Good luck!
Cheers!!
