Well below would be my review on my absolute fave eyeliner and mascara brands for different types of occasions/needs.
1. Hypersharp Eyeliner by Maybelline.
I absolutely love this eyeliner because unlike other brush eyeliners, this is ACTUALLY a fine brush with very fine bristles. I've tried others and most are felt tip pen which goes on like a whiteboard marker pen... not very nice, not very fine. This one is ridiculously easy to control and you can make your eyeliner as thin or thick as you want... it is also amazing for doing cat eyes (which i LOVE). It is very dark and dries fast. On my eye shape it doesn't smudge at all.
TIP! -----> to make your eyeliner last longer/prevent smudging, put on sheer/nude eye shadow before putting your eyeliner on. Powder tends to make your eye look cakey i've noticed.Price -----> RM 23.90 or thereabouts from any pharmacy.
How long does it last? -----> Everyday usage, 4 months i think? Don't quite remember but it sure does last very long for me.
Tip 2! -----> When it is ALMOST finishing, I use it on my eyebrows. Due to the fact that the bristle is so fine, you can literally draw each hair on your eyebrow if you want.
2. L'oreal 4D lash architect
For those of you who know me, you'd think that I have naturally long lashes and that mascara's are pointless for me.... but you are sadly mistaken. They may be long and curled but they lack in volume. And this definitely helps with that!
I apologise for unflattering photos as I have no idea how to use Photoshop/any other editing softwares except for collage making.
This is what my eyelashes look like in the morning
This is what they look like after i apply the mascara! :D
The length! The VOLUME! Can you imagine my morning lashes if i had put on eyeliner as in pics 2 and 3? You probably won't even see it.
TIP! ----> When applying mascara, go right to the base of your eyelashes and do very slight left to right motions all the way up. VERY slight. Move left and right too much your lashes would clump up. Do it just right, it'll end up separating the lashes. :)
TIP2! ----> You can apply more than one coat, but wait till the first is semi dry. This'll add Volume.
Price! -----> Unfortunately it is pretty pricey - RM54 But trust me, it's worth it.
Warning! ---> It is a little difficult to remove (waterproof and all) so you'll need to use eye makeup remover to completely get it off. Facial wipes will only remove half of it and the next morning you'll wake up with panda eyes.
Natural progression from here would be to review the awesomest EYE MAKEUP REMOVER EVER!
Its amazing because you only need a pea size drop on your cotton ball and you can get rid of the most waterproof eye makeup you have in one (okay maybe two) swipe(s). UNFORTUNATELY since it is bare minerals, it costs a fortune in malaysia. I have yet to go to Sephora(paradigm mall/starhill) to replenish but it is 15 pounds/18USD. If youre willing to splurge then it is definitely worth it. If not....
Nivea eye make-up remover works well too. I'm sure many of us use this. :)
So thats all for today. Waiting for my first Mivva box to arrive. I unfortunately still haven't received a despatch e-mail.... poo. I hope it won't take too long because I'm supposed to get an October and November box.
Toodles lovelies! Tell me if there's anything else you want to see/get reviewed! :D
Here's a little something for the hair if you're bored with your hairstyle!
Favourite pencil eyeliner? ;) Or do you just use liquid eyeliner? Liquid feels slightly fancy for my sepet eyes I don't use them much. :P
ReplyDeleteOooh Naj, I remember you always have had this natural glow on your cheeks. Do you use some minerals-esque cover up? It always reminds me of the kind of glow Shenae Grimes has in 90210. I like.
The hypersharp liner is liquid but it's not as watery/thick as normal liquid. it feels like you're gliding water? Because I have tried a few other liquid liners which look very thick and jarring. I'll take a photo of it at some point and post it up! :D
DeleteBut as pencil i quite like silky girl pencil eye liner. and its very affordable too! the only thing i dont like about it is that its not a pencil pencil its one of those twisty things so you can't actually sharpen it.
THANKS! but back then i didn't use anything :p but now i use bare minerals "warmth". I'll include photos in the next post! AND CONGRATS ON BEING AN UTTER BARRISTER!
