EASY Masquarade Makeup! (I'M BACK!!)

2011-12-29T16:59:00.003+08:00

HELLLLLLLOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO

BABES!!!!!!!!!!!

I'M BACKKKKKKKKKKKKK!!!

(K I must sound like I'm shouting to an audience of empty seats right now as I've left this blog empty for months)

I won't make any excuses but to tell you the truth,

I had a few rough months while I was "away".

Well, not financially but emotionally.

You know there's always these few "emo" times when you've just broke up aye?
Some get back on their feet fast and some people just need to take a bit more time to heal;
For my case it took quite a while.
NOTHING inspired me to do any makeup tutorials; for a while, I didn't even have the courage to pick up my makeup brush and start doing makeup because I'd thought that I sucked, I'm a wasted space that's walking the earth, and was a useless girl so that's why we broke up. But you know, there's a saying; there's a reason why all the doors are closed, so you could open one that leads you to the perfect road. Looking back, I'm glad that we broke up, because for the past few months that I was away, I've finally been living "in the moment" and enjoyed every second of my life.
I took up pole dancing and started to jog and go mountain climbing, so my health is so much better than before, learnt how to bake darn yummy cakes online (omg should i actually make cake tutorials?!)
,learnt a few piano songs,started learning a new langguage,went travelling with friends often and I'm now a good driver! (Till May I had a car license but I'd never drive).
So girls, the point is;
Tragedies happen. What are you gonna do? Give up? Quit? No. I realize now that when your heart breaks, you gotta fight like hell to make sure you’re still alive because you are, and the pain you feel, that’s life. The confusion and fear, that’s there to remind you that somewhere out there’s something better and that something is worth fighting for. We only live once. Live life, love life! <3

哈咯美眉们~! <3
我回来啦~!!!!!
(啊啊啊... 好像对空气说话似的; 我把这个部落放空放太太太久了!)

我"消失"的几个月里,
是发生了一些感情上的问题,
欸.. 我打了英文的解释后,有点小懒惰翻译成华文捏. XD
想知道的话就看上面英文的吧~ 好吗好吗? =)

ANY WHOOOOOOOO.

( If you would like to read about how to use color correctors& concealers, click HERE:-http://slapclapkiss.blogspot.com/2011/07/how-to-use-color-correctors-concealer.html )

然后我用了ZING! 遮遐膏, 编号Y-1遮黑眼圈.
(点这里阅读我的遮遐教学
:-http://slapclapkiss.blogspot.com/2011/07/how-to-use-color-correctors-concealer.html)

*THIS STEP IS OPTIONAL*

Using a matte white eyeshadow, brush it all over your eyelid.

I do it because it evens out the skin tone of my eyelid!

my eyelid skin looks darker than the skin on my face ;(

*你可以跳过这个步骤*

用一个白色的眼影, 轻扫于整个眼皮.
我会这么做是因为我的眼皮的颜色暗过我脸部皮肤的颜色,
所以必须平衡出那肤色. ;(

*THIS STEP IS OPTIONAL*

Stick on double eyelid tape!

I have also done a tutorial on how to stick on double eyelid tape HERE:-
invisible double sided eyelid tape tutorial

double sided eyelid tape tutorial

*你可以跳过这个步骤*

粘上双眼皮贴!

(我的双眼皮贴教学点这里:-双眼皮贴教学. 或者. 双面双眼皮贴教学)

Then, draw 2 "holes" for the eye area of your masquarade mask.

Now you could draw 2 circles, but I personally think that it would look better if you drew it a bit oval with a cats eye "flick" at the ends of the eyes. It's really easy to draw, imagine doing your normal eyeliner but outside of the eyelids! and don't worry about getting a bit messy! we'll fix it later!

现在画2个"洞", 这2个洞是做面具的眼睛的部分~

如果要简单一些, 你可以画2个圆圈, 不过我个人觉得如果把它画椭圆一些, 然后在眼尾部分画"翘" 起来, 会更加漂亮. 其实真的不难画, 想象你平常画眼线的步骤, 不过是在眼皮上化!

还有如果画到不整齐别担心喔~!

then draw a "U / V" shape on the bridge of your nose. I would say about 1.5cm- 2 cmc away from the "holes" of the eyes? it'll give you an illusion of a more higher/ pointy nose bridge!

然后在鼻梁上画个 "U / V" 字! 大概离眼睛的"洞" 1.5公分-2公分左右!

视觉上会让人觉得你的鼻梁很高喔!

Then, take your liquid eyeliner and SLOWLY!! draw the outline of the masquarade!

remember you can draw it in ANY shape you want.

You can use masquarades masks photos from google as references on the shapes =)

拿起你的眼线液, 然后慢慢的把面具的线条化出来!

我这个面具的灵感是找了google几张照片后大概跟着形状画出来的. =)

take a black eyeliner gel (you can use an eyeliner pencil as well but it takes up more time), and fill in all the blank spaces of the mask!

拿你的眼线膏, (你也可以用眼线笔, 不过会比较费时), 然后填满整个面具的空白!

Take a MATTE black eyeshadow, dab your eyeshadow brush in it,

and press it against the areas that you've used eyeliner gel on.

拿起你的眼影刷,用黑色的眼影, 然后轻按在刚才你们用眼线膏填满过的地方.

then use your liquid eyeliner and line the outline of the mask again.

然后用眼线液再重画过面具的外形.

Now, do your eye makeup as normal!

For me I chose to do a simple winged eye look!

If you're opting for this look as well, for the "flick", you can use the ends of the "eye hole" of the masquarade mask as a guide.

Here's also one of my tutorials on how to do a winged eye look!

http://slapclapkiss.blogspot.com/2011/01/back-to-basics-how-to-wingedcat-eye.html

这时候你就可以化你的眼睛啦~

我画了个猫眼妆.

小提示:- 你可以用面具眼睛的洞的眼尾部分当作一个化眼线的指南喔.

我之前做过了化眼线的教学, 点这里:

http://slapclapkiss.blogspot.com/2011/01/back-to-basics-how-to-wingedcat-eye.html

then add on false lashes! I've also drawn "fake lashes" on my lower water line!

I used the same technique in this tutorial!

http://slapclapkiss.blogspot.com/2011/03/wearableblackswan-inspired-eye-makeup.html

然后戴上假睫毛!

我在下眼线部分化了"下睫毛".

教学在这里!

http://slapclapkiss.blogspot.com/2011/03/wearableblackswan-inspired-eye-makeup.html

k here comes the fun part!

decorate your masquarade mask!!!

you can add ANYTHING to it!

for my mask, I used a gold coloured eyeshadow, sprayed a bit of water on my makeup brush, and started drawing! for the silver mini dots, i simply used a silver coloured glittery eyeliner and lined the mask with it!

easy right??

好玩的地方来了!

设计你的面具!

你自己想要加什么/化什么都行喔~!

我自己是用了个金色的眼影, 然后在化装刷上沾了一点水, 然后就开始化了!

那些小银点是我用银色的眼线液化出来的. 就这么简单~ =)

That's the end of this tutorial!

I promise that I'll try my best to update more! =)

follow me if you like my work! <3

好啦,教学完成了!

我答应你们我会尽力的更新多点~

Tattoo Removal!! OUCH!!

2011-08-04T15:22:00.001+08:00

(Before tattoo removal)

Ever since I've started my hiatus on blogging & tutorials,

I've been working 2 shifts a day and literally no time to turn on the laptop.

After my project ended, I've been lazing around, doing noting but playing Birzzle and surfing Facebook and watching Youtube on my Iphone.

But I have made good use of my time! Such as sending resume's to Singaporean companies hoping that one good company might take notice of me and call me in for an interview *crosses fingers*, working out, and

went for a freaking TATTOO REMOVAL!!!

I know I did a video tutorial on tattoo concealing a few blog posts ago,

and I really do like my tattoos. But the one on the back of my palm really is an eyesore to me for a few years now. Why? because I didn't really like the design. And the symbol is a tad too big for my palm size.

So why did I go for a tattoo removal? Because one of my girlfriends, she had a colored phoenix tattooed on her arm, and she went to laser it off 2 months ago. and it was gone by 20%, so I thought I should give it a go, who knows? my tat might be gone in 5 sessions?

That was what I thought. I did not Google any information on tattoo removal
nor did a consultation with the person who was going to remove my tattoo prior the session,

I just WENT with gusto! It was a impulsive decision btw.

And the law of the internet says that you fail when you do things impulsively.

So my tattoo removal was not done in a clinical environment, nor a beauty center.

It was done in a boutique. Yes a fashion boutique.

But not right in front of the cashier mind you. lol.

It was done on the 2nd floor of the boutique. The owner said that she is opting to go for a beauty salon cum fashion boutique all in one shoplot.

(I didn't know that it was actually a boutique judging by the name of the shop my friend had given me. I thought it was a beauty salon)

A normal person would take a U turn and start running away.
But not Veron Chuang!!!NO SIR!!!

By living up to what an average Sagittarius will do, I STAYED for adventure and pain!

(not promoting sadism here lol)

K so I went up to the 2nd floor of the boutique and saw well, an operating bed? (well it looked like one)

and a few other machines and equipments.

The owner told me to sit down on a chair and lay my hand on the "bed".

She pushed the machine towards me and pressed a button, a ray of light shone through a small peephole on the detachable handle of the machine.
On the count of 3, she placed the handle on my tattoo.

AND I WAS LIKE...............

From here I shall try to answer all the questions that I got from my friends and reply in what I personally felt throughout the session.
No scientific evidences here.

HOW DID THE SESSION LOOK LIKE? :-

That was what my tattoo looked like while undergoing the laser removal.

And it made the SAME sound.

But a different equipment was used on me.

Smelt like burnt meat!
No the tattoo didn't magically "disappear" when it turned white.

Click here to read full article on tattoo removal

HOW DID IT FELT LIKE? :-

IT WAS MAD MAD MAD PAINFUL!!!
Worse than getting a tattoo. But bearable!
it felt like a needle of burning fire was being inserted into your skin, and it hit right into your bones.
If I had to rate the pain, I would say tattoo removal via laser is around 5 times the pain than getting a tattoo done. I broke out in cold sweat within 3 minutes! No joke!
I crossed my legs together and they were squeezed together so hard that it was the first time in my life that I've actually felt sweat dripping from my legs.

HOW LONG DID THE SESSION LASTED? :-

It took the owner around 20 minutes to laser 3 of my tattoos.

WHAT? 3? I THOUGHT YOU SAID 1 TATTOO!:-

Well judging by the tattoo picture that my friend showed the owner, she quoted about RM250 and above to remove that one tattoo on the back of my palm PER SESSION.
So I asked what if I removed all 3 tattoo's on my arm and palm? She quoted RM500 per session.
So I thought that it would be a good bargain to remove all 3 of them instead of 1.

PER SESSION? HOW MANY SESSIONS WOULD YOU NEED TO UNDERGO TO REMOVE IT COMPLETELY?

As I've wrote earlier, I did not look up on any information upon tattoo removal,
judging by the results of my friend's tattoo, my budget was a complete removal within RM5000. (10 sessions)
BUT! When I asked the owner that would it be removed within 10 sessions? She said, definitely more than 10 sessions because the color of the ink was too deep.
And even if I undergo more than that, there would still be left over stains from the tattoo showing up on my skin. And that was the moment I've decided to not return for the 2nd session. It's way over my budget ;(
Currently there is no treatments in Malaysia to fully remove a tattoo, after googling for information.

WHAT MACHINE DID THE OWNER USE?

Of course she didn't tell me the brand of the machine. hehe.
But she said this machine was multi-purpose.
It can be used as a tattoo removal machine, ALSO a pigmentation removal machine from any part of the body.

SHOW US HOW YOUR TATTOO LOOKS LIKE NOW!!

Here is a video of me mumbling in the car 10 minutes after the tattoo removal.
As you can see my arm was shaking in pain.
And the tattoos were swollen.

Taken seconds after the laser session with my lao pok kak Iphone camera.

BRACE YOURSELVES FOR SOME GRUESOME SH*T BELOW

DAY 2

DAY 3

AIN'T THAT JUST................

EWWWWWWW???????

It looks like I contracted aid's or something! And it HURTS LIKE MAD!!!

But! It is normal for these blisters to form,
remember it's laser that hit the skin.

DAY 6+ DAY 7

DAY 14

Day 14, the skin on my laser-ed tattoo is itching while peeling off on it's own.

Currently I'm in day 20,
and the tattoo doesn't itch anymore, but it does look like there's a flim of shine on the tattoo which I can't explain? Maybe it's still recovering from the laser?

SO DID YOUR TATTOO REALLY DISAPPEAR?

The owner does not use magic,so nope.

BUT DO YOU SEE A DIFFERENCE AFTER THE TATTOO REMOVAL?

Yes I do see a difference on the rose of my cross; the color did get lighter by 20%.
but as for the tribal tattoo on the back of my palm and the cross, sadly no. =(

So that's it! =)
That's basically what I felt throughout the whole before and after process of my tattoo removal.
Hope this helps anyone of you who is interested in it.

How to use color correctors & concealer (ft. ZING! concealer)

2011-07-22T16:28:00.000+08:00

(credits: google images)

Ever had a red acne on your face that you couldn't conceal with a concealer,

and you had to cake so much product on until your face looked like a wrinkly old clown?

痘痘冒出来了!!遮暇膏越打越厚,还是盖不到它!怎么办?!?!

You're a klutz, always accidentally knocking into objects such as the side of the table, the wall,

bruising yourself is a part of your everyday life for years.

You would love to wear a pair of shorts out, but the bruises makes people turn their heads at you while you're walking around.

呜呜~ 走路一直撞到东西,满身黑青, 好丑啊~

可是我真的很想穿穿短裙,美美的出门啊~

(credits, google images)

our old enemy :-

DARK EYE CIRCLES! Which you can never find a way to conceal!

我们的天敌:-
黑眼圈!! 它怎么一直出来啊~! 遮不到它! 救命啊!

Going for a job interview/ wedding, but you have a tattoo that you really wish it wasn't there.

要去面试!婚礼派对! 不过有个太显眼的纹身....

If you have a "hell yes!" on any of the above, read on! :D

如果有说中你的心声,就读下去吧! =D

***********************************************

So last week (yes I spent a week finishing this post. lol), it finally arrived!

What arrived? THE ZING! CONCEALER!!

I ordered a dozen of these products about 2 months ago from the U.S and it was finally shipped

and poslaju-ed to me! I have a friend that is a MUA, her mom sells makeup that she sources from the U.S, Canada, Taiwan.

She introduced me to this awesome concealer of hers that she uses on her clients and herself.

The ZING! Concealer!

上个星期, (我花了一个星期写这个乁, 要慢慢读喔!) 它终于到了!
啥到了啊? ZING! 遮遐盘到了!
2个月前我从美国订购了一打ZING! 遮遐盘, 它终于坐船来了~!
我有个在海外做化妆师的朋友, 她的妈妈是卖从美国,加拿大,还有台弯这三个主要国家拿化妆来卖的. 她介绍我她自己本身用,还有用在客户身上的ZING! 遮遐盘.

************************************************

What is a color corrector? 什么是color corrector啊?

************************************************

(credits, google images)

color corrector's look like concealers. whether they are in a pot form or palette form.

But color corrector's come in colors like, green, lavender, yellow, blue, all those funky colors.

Color corrector's are mostly used to neutralize flaws on your face or body like bruises, veins, portwine stain, dark eye circles, acne, etc. So that you wouldn't need to cake on concealer+ foundation to your problem areas until it looks wrinkly and cakey.

Using Color correctors are like using concealers. They're used at areas only if you need them.

And I wouldn't say that each color corrector only works at certain areas, as we all have different skin colors & problem areas ,understanding both of that and experimenting with the colors would be an added plus whilst makeup application.

*我不是很清楚color corrector华文叫啥, 就叫它"彩色调整膏"吧. = =" *
彩色调整膏看起来就像遮瑕膏,质感,形状,包装,都很像. 区别在于彩色调整膏的颜色都比较奇怪,例如青色,紫色,黄色,蓝色. 彩色调整膏通常都是用于调整/遮身体或脸部表面的瑕疵, 例如黑青, 血管太明显, 黑眼圈, 红肿,痘痘, 等等. 平常如果你有痘痘冒出来,用遮瑕膏拍在脸上拍得很厚很不自然, 如果用彩色调整膏的话,效果会很不一样!

用彩色调整膏的方法差不多就跟用遮瑕膏一样.就是只用在需要到它的地方. 也不可以说一种彩色调整膏的颜色只能用于某个特定的地方, 因为我们的肤色, 问题瑕疵都是不同的. 了解了那两点, 还有尝试者各种颜色在你皮肤上显示的效果, 上妆的时候能为你的气色加分~

Alright, now you've got an idea of what a color corrector is,

I would like to introduce you girls to the COLOR WHEEL.

好啦,现在你大概知道什么是彩色调整膏之后,

现在要跟介绍给你彩色轮盘!

(credits, google images)

Now, take a good look at the color wheel as this is important as understanding the color wheel makes it easier for you to neutralize the flaw that you're trying to color correct.Neutralizing the colors that are OPPOSITE of each other on the color wheel.

For instance, green neutralizes red, yellow neutralizes violet, orange neutralizes blue; and so on.

K I know you're a bit confused here, and wondering why the heck am I making you read the color wheel like your art class teacher, but read on and I shall try my best to un-blur you with pictures!

mm们好好的看一眼彩色轮盘喔, 很重要滴~! 当你有个要用彩色调整膏来抵消的瑕疵的时候也会比较容易. 在彩色轮盘上, X色正对面的颜色是跟X色相抵的.

比如说, 青色,抵消红色. 黄色抵消紫色, 橙色抵消蓝色, 等等.

嗯.你好像有一点乱料. 不过读下去吧, 我会尽量的放图片让你清楚一些!

************************************************
ACNE 痘痘
*************************************************

For instance, red tones on the skin, (blemishes, zits, red blotches)

And if you've read the color wheel earlier, you should notice that opposite of red in the color wheel, is green!

比如说呢~ 皮肤上的红色色调 (红斑, 痘痘, 粉刺),

如果你刚刚有看好彩色轮盘, 你可能有印象, 红色对面的颜色,是青色!

So using your ring finger, dab some green color corrector and pat it onto your problem area, and BLEND it out.

You can choose either to pat on a coat of concealer of your skin tone or foundation.

用你的无名指, 点些青色的彩色调整膏然后拍在你的问题部位. 然后往外拍均应它.

你可以选择在拍了彩色调整膏的部位上拍上多一层遮瑕膏或者粉底液.

I choose to pat on one more coat of concealer using the color M-1, then set it with a translucent powder.

And wallah! Red toned problem area solved! Without any Photoshop needed! All by using color correctors

My brother looks like he has no "moon holes" in his face!

(yes the model is a guy if you were wondering. hehe)

我选择拍多一曾遮暇膏. 用着ZING! 的 M-1颜色, 然后再在上面打一层透明粉.

然后~~DENG DENG DENG~ 发红的地方就不见啦~~

也不用p图! 只用彩色调整膏就行了~

我弟弟的脸看起来滑滑的吧! 连洞都一起不见了! 呵呵!

Here is another sample of using green colored corrector ONLY,

to neutralize out the redness of an insect bite. See how the green corrector instantly neutralizes the redness?

再给你们看一个用青色彩色调整膏的例子来抵消昆虫叮咬的红肿.

青色直接抵消了红色了呢!

IMPORTANT NOTE:- When using color correctors, make sure that the area that you're color correcting is

permanent or semi-permanent.

Meaning, that if you have a patch of redness on your face, you know that it is going to go away in an hour, DO NOT color correct it, as when the redness subsides, it will leave a green blotch on your face.

IF you have like, a pimple that has been there for a few days and you know that it is STILL going to be there throughout the day, by all means color correct it! =D

注意:- 当你使用彩色调整膏的时候,要肯定你使用的那个暇疵,是长期在那边的,或者连续几天在那边. 比如说, 如果你脸上有一小块发热而起的红斑, 多一个小时就会不见的话, 就别用彩色调整膏在它上面. 因为当那小快红斑退掉了之后,就会在脸上看到很像有一个小青块.

如果你有粒青春痘在脸上很多天了,你也知道它应该还会在那边多几天, 那就可以用彩色调整膏喔~

************************************************

BRUISES

*************************************************

Next up, BRUISES!

Now as I don't encounter domestic violence, of course I don't have any bruises on my face.

I do have a few patches of bruises on my legs though, as I have been going to pole dancing classes recently.

I have a liking for skirts and shorts, plus my skin is fair,

peeps could instantly notice the bruises on my legs from afar,

what do I do? COLOR CORRECT OF COURSE!

Now, I'm going to show you 2 ways to conceal bruises, one way is by using a color corrector, and the other by using a pinkish toned concealer.

If you look at the color wheel that I've posted above just now, the color that neutralizes violet is yellow, and the color that neutralizes blue is orange. But it is very hard to find a pure orange concealer, so it's fine to subsitute it for a salmon/ pinkish tone concealer instead.

现在是黑青~

最近我都大爱练钢管舞, 所以脚+手满多黑青的.

然后我皮肤比较偏白, 个人又满喜欢穿短裤/裙的,

远远就会看到我"伤痕累累"料!

还能做啥? 当然是~

用彩色调整膏咯~

现在来跟大家分享下2重方法来遮黑青. 一个是用彩色调整膏,一个是用带点肉粉红色的遮遐膏.

仔细看我上面po的彩色轮盘, 能抵消紫色的是黄色, 能抵消蓝色的是橙色.

不过要找到一个纯橙色的遮遐膏很难, 所以用肉粉红色的遮遐膏是ok的. :)

1st picture :- I have used concealer color P-1 to conceal half of my bruise. As you can see it instantly covers the bruise up.

2nd picture:- I have fully covered my bruise. Why there is a patch of pinkish patch there?

Because my skin tone is fair, and the concealer is a tad darker colored than my skin tone, so even though it does cover up my bruise nicely, I will still need to take a foundation that is my skin tone color to go over it and set it with powder.

3rd & 4th picture, went over the bruised area with foundation and set it with powder.

第一张照片:- 我用了遮遐膏颜色P-1来遮我一半的黑青, 看得出整个黑青就酱不见了一半.

第二张:- 已经遮完了整个黑青了. 不过为什么还是有一块痕迹在那边呢?

因为我的皮肤颜色偏白, 然后遮遐膏的颜色比我皮肤的颜色暗1/2号; 虽然已经把我的黑青遮完了, 我还是需要拿点我肤色的粉底液/ 松粉拍上去让它定色.

第三&四张:- 已经把粉底液跟松粉拍上去了.

For me, patting the yellow color corrector over my bruise works BEST for me.

as you can see a little goes a long way. That was how much of product I've used to cover the bruise! The yellow totally neutralized the bruise and made it unknown to the eye without any

foundation or concealer! Me likey! =D

Same goes for tattoos,

You can use either of these 2 ways to conceal your tats as well!

here is a my tutorial of how to conceal tattoos by using a concealer/ color corrector :-

HOW TO CONCEAL TATTOO TUTORIAL 遮纹身教学

对我来说, 把彩色调整膏盖过我的黑青是最方便的;

你也可以看到遮掉整个黑青用一点点彩色调整膏就行了,

黄色直接把黑青的紫色色素给抵消了!

遮纹身也一样喔!

你可以用这2种方式来遮纹身,

DARK EYE CIRCLES 黑眼圈

*************************************************

As you can see here, obvious dark eye circles.

There are a few ways of concealing or color correcting dark eye circles.

I shall go through them and you can decide for yourself which one works best for you.

黑眼圈很黑很明显对吧?

有几种用遮遐膏+ 彩色调色膏遮黑眼圈的方法,

现在跟大家分享几个, 然后MM们自己试试看有帮到你们吗~ ^^

Using color correctors.

彩色调色膏

As the skin tone of everyone is different, so is the color shade of the dark eye circle.

I wouldn't say that you must use X color corrector or X colored concealer to combat dark eye circles, so if you have different color correctors, play around with the colors until you find a color that combats it best.

由于每个人的肤色不一样, 黑眼圈的暗沉度也不一样.

也不能说你一定要用彩色调色膏X或者遮遐膏X来遮黑眼圈,

所以如果你有不用颜色的彩色调色膏, 你可以试试哪一个颜色最适合抵消你黑眼圈的颜色.

Frequently used color correctors on dark eye circles :-

-通常会使用在黑眼圈上的彩色调色膏:-

Yellow corrector used to conceal bluish bruises, under-eye circles and mild red tones on the face. a little more of a deeper yellow pigment which will counteract the bluish/purple color under your eyes.

黄色彩色调色膏用来抵消带蓝紫色的黑青, 黑眼圈, 还有脸上稍微乏红的地方.

多一些黄能抵消你黑眼圈下的蓝紫色.

Lavender concealer: Used to normalize yellow-colored skin imperfections such as sallow complexions and yellow bruises. It can also help conceal VERY dark under-eye circles and dark spots on bronze skin tones.

紫色彩色调色膏: 用来抵消偏黄皮肤的遐疵, 比方说脸部呈现蜡黄的地方, 还有带黄的黑青.

还能用这个颜色的彩色调色膏来遮黑眼圈很严重的眼圈,还有皮肤比较褐的人脸上的暗斑.

Using Concealers

用遮遐膏

Choose a color that's one shade lighter than your normal color if your dark circles are blue-black. If, on the other hand, if you have problems with puffiness as well as dark circles, go one shade darker than your usual color.

如果你的黑眼圈比较带紫/蓝,选个比你肤色亮1号的颜色,

如果你的眼睛浮肿,又有黑眼圈, 选择比你肤色暗1号的颜色.

What works for me :-

个人喜爱的方式:-

Using the color Y-1, (which is 1 shade lighter than my skin tone), I have applied the concealer to my dark eye circles in a patting motion. And there, no more panda eyes! =D

If you're interested, you can read my How to conceal part-1, 如何遮暇-第一篇 <here as well.

用Y-1, (比我肤色亮1号), 我把用用遮遐膏轻拍在黑眼圈 .

然后就没熊猫眼啦! =D

temporary hiatus!

2011-07-06T23:06:00.001+08:00

Hey Parisians!

Blog tutorials and makeup product updates will be put on hiatus for around 1-2 weeks,

as I have just found a job in Singapore,

gonna move in like in 2 hours or so.

Haven't got the wifi installed there yet,

but trust me,

I've already did at least 5 tutorials saved in my trusty digital camera!

And I've just shipped so many new stocks from Canada, US, and Taiwan!

I'll be trying my best to give you girls some updates soon + most importantly WIFI in the apartment!!

please don't forget me ;(

美眉们吖吖吖吖吖吖吖!!

由于我刚在新加坡找到一份工,

多2个小时就需要搬进去住,

所以部落教学+所卖的化妆暂停1-2个星期.

因为还没房子里申请网络线.

不过我已经在照相机里做了大约5个教学了,

还从加拿大,美国,台湾,进了很多新货勒~!

我会尽可能的给你们更新, 最重要的是房子里一定要有网络线啦!!

还有还有~别忘记我啊啊啊!!!;(

Love, Veron Chuang

**************************************
EYES (眼妆)
**************************************

As for the eyes, start off by priming your eyelids/ wearing a pair of enlargement contact lenses.

第一步, 戴上放大隐形眼镜,加上用眼底霜.

Then, using Stage's eyeliner pencil in Golden Globe, I apply it onto the eyelid.
You don't need to draw a fine line with this. Just apply it on till the hollows of the eye as I used this as a base to make the eyeshadows "pop" out even more.

用着Stage家的眼线笔, Golden Globe, 直接化在眼皮上面.
你不用把这条眼线化得很美~ 随便化到眼窝那边就行了,
因为这个只是一个底色让等下上的眼影色看起来更加鲜艳.

Take an eyeshadow brush and dab Number 5 from the Pixie Palatte *click to see swatches*,
apply it on the front half part of the eyelid, until it reaches the hollows of the eyes.

拿一只眼影刷, 沾上Pixie Palatte *click to see swatches*的NUMBER 5,
刷在眼头至眼皮的中间, 刷到眼窝.

Take the same eyeshadow brush, and mix eyeshadow number 9, and number 15 from the Pixie Palatte,
apply it onto the back half of your eyelid.
Number 9 is a shimmery black, by mixing it with number 15 together,
you'll get a dark brown color with a dash of black in it. Which makes your eyeshadow color unique and stands out from the crowd.

拿那把同样的眼影刷, 把NUMBER 9,还有NUMBER 15的眼影参在一起,
然后刷在眼尾部.
NUMBER 9 是个亮黑色, 当把它跟NUMBER 15参在一起的时时候,
就会出现一个带黑的深褐色, 颜色会在众人中脱颖而出呢 =)

To stand out even more, try lining your eyeliner with a bright color! =D
Using Stage liquid eyeliner in the color Eucalaptypus, I drew a winged eye on Miss V.
Because she is a monolid, the eyeliner is drawn thicker than a normal eyeliner I would draw on myself .
Of course, start with a normal eyeliner first, then slowly add on thickness to you/ your model's eye.
The thing with eyeliner and monolids is, if you draw an eyeliner that is too fine or thin on a monolid, once you/ your model opens up her eyes, the eyeliner would look non- existent.

如果要让眼睛看起来更加的突出, 眼线液可以试试看用比较亮的颜色来化.
我用的是Stage眼线液, Eucalaptypus, 我在V小姐的眼睛化了个猫眼.
因为她是单眼皮mm,眼线液的化法要化得比双眼皮的mm厚.
当然, 不要一次过化得太厚, mm们可以先从一个普通的猫眼开始化, 然后慢慢的加眼线的厚度.
眼线如果在单眼皮mm的眼睛上化得太细的话, 当你/model一睁开眼睛的时候,
眼线会完全被眼皮盖掉=看不到.

As I would like to create a double eyelid on Miss V's eyes to "open" up her eyes,
I have applied on Double eyelid tape on Miss V's eyes.
I have took a piece of double eyelid tape, and cut it into half from the middle so it becomes a pair of double eyelid tape, A & B. after that, I've placed A on her crease to create a double eyelid.
To add more definition and make the double eyelid tape TOTALLY invisible to the eye, I've placed the other half of the double eyelid tape B to the back half ON TOP of double eyelid tape A.
Please refer to the picture above ayeeee! ;D
How to apply double eyelid tape tutorial (Normal)

我想把v小姐的眼睛变成双眼皮,让她看起来精神些,
所以我就在她眼皮上粘了双眼皮贴. *想购买点这里>Double eyelid tape<*
我拿了一片双眼皮贴, 然后从中间剪成一半, 然后它就变成了一对双眼皮贴.
分成A 跟B 了吧? 然后, 我把A 粘在眼睛的折痕上,就变成了双眼皮了.
如果要让眼睛看起来更加的深邃, 还有让双眼皮贴完全隐形, 我再把B 粘在A 的后半上方.
mm们不明白的话看上面的图片喔 :D

基本的双眼皮贴粘法 :-
How to apply double eyelid tape tutorial (Normal)

The final step!
Apply on some false lashes or mascara,
take an eyebrow pencil and fill in your brows, and using Vanilla eyeshadow to highlight the browbone!

最后一步!
粘上假睫毛, 或者刷上一些睫毛膏,
拿一只眉笔, 填满眉毛的空隙, 还有用M.A.C的VANILLA眼影来打亮眉骨!

Elegant makeup+hair style for weddings/prom/dates (FOUNDATION)

2011-06-06T16:46:00.000+08:00

21/5/2011

so sorry for the hiatus girls!

I ADMIT THAT I HAVE BEEN PROCRASTINATING MY ASS OFF!!

this song explains it all.

各位公北比们非常的抱歉啊~~那么久没上来了,

我承认我一直在拖 = ="

这首歌解释了我的心情.

**Please forgive me for the low-light quality. This look was created around 11pm. I napped for 5 hours in the afternoon and was PUMPED! So had to do SOMETHING! XD

ANYWAY!! MY NON- NISSAN PAINT MAKEUP FACE WHICH LOOKS VERY HOMELY!!

BOOOOO!!!

**不好意思这次的教学灯光有点差吖.. 我晚上11点多才拍下的教学-.-"

下午睡了5个钟头; 然后超精神的!就很想做东西! XD

分享我超母爱感的素颜!

Friggin dark eye circles. I swear I will get rid of you one day!

我恨黑眼圈..我恨黑眼圈...@@

Products that I've used:-

1) MAKEUP BASE

我用的产品:-
1) 底妆霜.

I have 3 makeup bases here,

From Left: YOUNGBLOOD face primer (no color) , MAKEUP FOREVER makeup base (purple), SHISEIDO white lucent makeup base (pink)

the one that I'm using today is the YOUNGBLOOD face primer. (the one on the LEFT)

it's a non colored primer/base.

The use of a makeup base:-
to put it VERY simply, it's to even out your skin tone and also acts as a primer on your face to make your foundation long lasting. It also protects the skin on face from harsh pollutions.

我这里有3个不同的底妆霜,
从左边开始: YOUNGBLOOD FACE PRIMER(无色), MAKEUP FOREVER 底妆霜(紫色), SHISEIDO WHITE LUCENT 底霜(粉红色)

今天我用的是YOUNGBLOOD FACE PRIMER (最左边的那个)
它是一个无色底霜.

底霜的用处是:-
很简单的来说, 就是平均你的肤色; 能增加粉底液在皮肤上的持久度.
也能保护皮肤受到污染.

2) FOUNDATION

2)粉底液

I'm using Laneige foundation in the lightest shade.
**note; this was my foundation, but I've only tried it once, gave it to my mom later on.
as the goddess of foundation hates me. turns my skin oily/chalky/wrinkly in real life
(not pics tho. my skin shows up normal in pics.)
it's not the foundation's fault it's my skin's fault ;(

If you face the same problems like me, you could try this>>

make your own tinted sunscreen/tinted moisturizer

I'm using foundation toda to show you 2 basic ways of how I apply foundation.

The brush that I'm using is from M.A.C, 187 brush.
note: you do not need to use the same brush as i am using. you can use your fingers! =D
or you can also use any brush that is flat topped or looks somehow like this!
personally I don't like to use the traditional foundation brush because I find that it leaves streakes on the face if you do not apply it well enough.

我现在用的是laneige粉底液, 最浅的颜色.

**这原本是我自己的粉底液,不过只用了一次就给我妈妈了.

因为我的皮肤真的不适合用粉底液勒. 一用就糟糕.

虽然照片上看起来很正常啦.

如果你跟我一样有酱的状况的话,

你可以试试看做专属自己的有色防晒膏/有色保湿液.

make your own tinted sunscreen/tinted moisturizer

今天就跟mm们分享我2种如何上粉底液的方法~ : )

我现在用的化妆刷是M.A.C的187号刷.

**你不需要跟我用一模一样的刷,你可以用手指,或者任何一种看起来像187刷的平头刷~

我个人不是很喜欢用传统的粉底刷啦,

因为如果你赶时间没有化好的话,脸会看起来有一条一条的线啊~

if you're using a flat topped brush like i am using,
what you need to do is pump the product around what you usually use,
and then just tap the brush on the product.

如果你是用一个跟我差不多一样的平头刷;
你就按出平时用的分量的粉底液,
然后用刷头轻沾粉底液.

use the brush and pat the product onto your skin in a circular motion.
by using a brush like this, you can layer your product and determine how sheer or heavy you want your coverage to be.

把刷子往脸上上下上下打圈圈的轻拍,
用这种平头刷的好处是你可以自己调你粉底液的层次感,
遮暇度要淡/要厚,都看自己的喜好.

If you're using your fingers instead of a makeup brush, you can do this.
dab a bit of foundation on your forehead+ nose bridge+ cheeks+ chin.
then blend it downwards onto your face.

如果你用的是你的手指,不是用化妆刷的话,你可以酱子做喔.
在额头+鼻梁+脸+下巴沾上一点粉底液.
然后用手指把粉底液往下推开.

and then press your palms against your face to make your foundation even more blended into the skin.

用双手按着脸让粉底液更加服贴.

and conceal your dark eye circles!
(MUSTTTT LAHHH!!)
click here for tutorial on concealing!

记得一定一定要遮黑眼圈!!!
click here for tutorial on concealing!

and WALLAHH!!
you'll look like that you have a clean/ fresh face instead of looking like you've haven't slept in days.

然后你就会有一张看起来有精神的脸庞啦~!

you can choose to contour your face/ apply blusher as well

你可以选择要表修容/上腮红~

2011-04-29T16:39:00.001+08:00

今天给弟弟一起送了妈妈的母亲节礼物。
是addidas的散步鞋。
用工钱跟弟弟一起和送。
她收了礼物后的五分钟，冒出了一句话；
＂我人生中第一次拥有那么好的鞋子＂。
那一瞬间，我感慨，
我们很有钱，时不时的就nike lv gucci。
而我们的父母在外拼搏了多久，才赚到那一个限量包的钱？
我们很有钱，喝茶要在星巴克吃饭要在bistro。
爸爸在外日日白饭淋汁加青菜好几年了，星巴克是什么他不懂。自己粗茶淡饭为的就是让餐桌上家人都有一碗饭。
我们很有钱，一点小感冒嚷着要去看医生，
爸妈头疼得不得了，他们坚持不去诊疗所，硬吃个班纳度就了事。
我们很有钱，在家无聊心情不好便找朋友去酒吧喝酒，是消遣，是麻醉。
爸爸在家对着堆积如山的公司文件，心情糟透了，他只有一个小心愿，就是孩子为他搥背，或者为他端茶，但没有，因为都出去喝酒去了。
我们很有钱，化妆品护肤品哪出就哪买，房间里却吨着一张脸好几年都用不完的产品。
妈妈的梳妆台上，却只是3样护肤品。而且放了好久都还没用完。
我们很有钱，跟男女朋友出门逛街时，看到这适合他，就毫不犹豫的买下手送人，
而当我们把一大袋的＂战利品＂带回家时，里面有几样是送给爸妈的呢？
从几时开始，我们把爱情放重于自己的父母？
从几时开始，我们逐渐没在餐桌上吃饭，取而代之的是朋友打来吃西餐日本餐的邀请。
工作后总是拖着疲惫的身体回到家，妈妈关切的问，要不要泡杯美鹿还有饼干给你？每次都如此。虽然每次都会不耐烦的拒绝，但是心里还是会有着淡淡的温暖。爸爸看到我上网超过3个小时，会跑进来房间要拉我下楼做运动打太极。
我每次会轻甩他的手堵嘴抗议。爸也拿我没办法的走开。
这就是父母对我们的爱。一种无私的牺牲，关怀。当有了我们的那一天，他们的世界不再浪漫恩爱。取而代之的是对我们的责任与教导。
Daddy mommy,虽然我现在只是个普通的打工小妹，挣的也只是够自己吃，花，但是我答应你们我会靠自己力争上游，在你们头发未白完之前，好好的赚钱来供养你们。给你们过得好好的。你们是我的神。没有你们就没有我跟弟弟,
我爱你们！

This was what I meant when said "wrap my hair up after washing my hair*

JUST IN CASE you don't know how to wrap your hair

1) Bend over and Flip your hair over your head so it's in front of your face. Like the ghost from THE RING. lol

2) Wrap the towel around your head and over your hair

3) Twist your hair in the towel until your hair is completely wrapped.

4) Flip it back over your head

以上的图片就是我平常洗完头后会用毛巾把头发包起来的样子.

步骤.

1)整个人弯下来, 然后把头发全部扫去你脸的前面. 这时候你就会看起来像祯子.

2)把毛巾盖在头发上, 把头发包起来.

3) 把毛巾跟头发卷在一起.

4)然后把毛巾丢去头发后面.

How to apply Double sided double eyelid tape(WITH REVIEW AND CUSTOMER PHOTO!)

2011-04-17T14:10:00.005+08:00

Look what came in the mail today besides the restock of double eyelid tape from taiwan! :D :D :D

I'm very excited to finally get my hands on it as this is one of the best double sided double eyelid tape that I have used so far! Why? Because of the length, shape, and stickiness! it suits Asian eyes perfectly!

从台湾的双眼皮贴包裹来的时候, 双面双眼皮贴的包裹也一起到了! :D :D :D
收到包裹的时候我很兴奋~ 因为这款的双面双眼皮贴是我用过最好用的.
因为它的长度, 形状,还有粘性, 很适合我们亚洲人!

Here is how it looks like in a pack of 120 pairs. Applicator included if you buy a pack!

这是一包120对的包装. 如果买1包的话就会送一只双面眼皮贴棒.

And here is how it looks like in sheet form. 1 sheet contains 12 pairs of double sided double eyelid tape.

然后一片双面双眼皮贴有12对双眼皮贴.

HOW TO USE THE DOUBLE SIDED EYELID TAPE IN 4 EASY STEPS:

轻松4步骤使用双面双眼皮贴:

STEP 1:

第一步:

Tear out the protective white sticker from the product to reveal the double sided double eyelid tape.

把保护双面双眼皮贴的粘纸撕出来.

Step 2:
步骤2:

Take out the double sided eyelid tape.
把双面双眼皮贴撕出来.

Step 3:

步骤3:

If you have double eyelids like me already, paste the double sided double eyelid tape above a bit your natural crease.

If you're a mono lid then lucky for you; you can totally adjust where you want your crease to be! whether higher or lower!

Basically it's almost like applying on normal double eyelid tape!
!click here for my tutorial of how to apply double eyelid tape

it looks super invisible as well!

如果你跟我一样已经有双眼皮了, 那你就双面双眼皮贴粘在你天生的双眼皮折痕上一点点的地方.
如果你是单眼皮的话, 那你可以自己调你的双眼皮折痕. 要调高一点/底一点都行!

基本上,就跟粘普通的双眼皮贴一样
点这里看双眼皮贴教学.

Step 4 (A):

步骤4 (A):

This works for me every single time when I'm in a rush and cannot find the applicator or if you don't have an applicator.

I frown a bit and try to look up. By doing this the tape will stick your eyelid together with your crease.

我平常赶时间的话,找不到双面双眼皮贴棒,或者你没有双面双眼皮贴棒的话

我就会酱子做.

我会邹一下眉头,然后往上看. 酱子做的话双面双眼皮贴就会把你的眼皮跟你的折痕粘在一起.

Step 4 (B)

步骤 4 (B)

Apply on the double sided double eyelid tape onto your crease/ lid.

then take the more "rounded" side of the applicator, and gently lift your lid up.

the double eyelid tape and lid will then stick together.

if you don't have an applicator, you can find anything that has a flat surface, gently lift your lid up, and it almost has the same effect. :)

把双面双眼皮贴粘在眼皮上.

然后用双眼皮贴棒比较圆型的地方放在眼皮上.

轻轻的把眼皮往上提.让双眼皮贴跟眼皮粘在一起.

如果你没有双眼皮贴棒的话, 你只要找一个比较平头的棒,一样的把眼皮轻轻的往上提,就行了.

END RESULT.

成品.

obviously it's the left eye that has the double sided eyelid tape on.

what's so cool about this product is;

when you close your eyes.....

it only leaves a line that actually looks like your crease!

the picture below is a comparison of my left eye (with double sided eyelid tape on) and my right eye.

*Using step 4 (A) technique

用步骤 4 (A)的方式.

(USING STEP 4 (B) TECHNIQUE)

(用步骤 4 (B)的方式)

and yes you can do your eye makeup + mascara/eyeliner after you've applied on the double sided eyelid tape.

here's how my eye looks like. err..after 10 hours of makeup so forgive the smudging.. - -"

I went to work+ eat steamboat+ clubbing.

粘了双眼皮贴后还是可以化眼妆喔!

给你们看看我化了10个小时后的眼睛!

不要介意眼妆糊掉了= =" 我做工+吃火锅+ 去喝酒. 凌晨2点酱拍下来的. -_-

**REVIEW BY CUSTOMER!** thank you so much! :)

And here is the price for the double sided eyelid tape!

it will be a few RM's pricier than the usual double eyelid tape that I sell here >>CLICK ME

Sucker Punch Inspired eye makeup tutorial!(Babydoll)

2011-04-11T17:07:00.001+08:00

(Photos from Sucker Punch official trailer on youtube)

(照片来源来自sucker punch的正式预告片,youtube)

So this is the look from babydoll that inspired me to do this tutorial,

it's not 100% the same as I've tweaked it a bit for the look to fit most eye shapes.

as not everyone has babydoll's innocent looking eyes.

(her eyes look super innocent even without makeup! go google!)

Anyway, the eye makeup is super easy& fast to do!

As always, the "after photo"

这就是babydoll在戏里面的眼妆, 灵感也来自她.

不是100%的跟住她的眼妆化,因为她的眼睛天生就很无辜了,

就算没化妆都很无辜. = =" 所以我采取一点她的眼妆的灵感,再加入一点点适合大部分的人的眼形的化法的教学. :)

总之,很容易化的啦,没那么难!

先给你们看"妆后照"!

***********************************************

First I have applied a cream colored eye makeup base to my eyelid, just right below the crease

(right below the red line I've drew.)

don't go above it. (I'm using M.A.C's cream color base in Pearl.)

If you don't have a base, it's okay, just pat A BIT of concealer onto the lid. This will act as an eye primer/base.

why am I only focusing on this part? I'll tell you why in a jiffy.

首先我在眼皮的折痕下,眼皮上了一些有色眼霜. *就在我画红线的地方*

不要超过那条红线. (我用的是M.A.C的有色眼霜- PEARL)

如果你没眼霜的化没关系, 你就在眼皮那边拍上一点遮遐膏就行了. 它也可以是一个PRIMER/BASE.

为什么我专著于这个部分呢, 我多一下子告诉你. :)

Using M01 from the earth palatte , (which is a white colored eyeshadow), PAT it onto the lid. right where you've applied your cream color base/ eyeshadow primer/base,

your colored base/ primer that you've applied earlier will make the color "pop" out,like this!

as the white colored eyeshadow in the earth palatte isn't an intense white, patting it onto the lid+ a base below the eyeshadow helps to make the eyeshadow look more pigmented.

用着earth palatte 里的M01, (白色眼影), 用一把眼影刷把颜色拍上去眼皮上. 就在你刚才涂上有色眼霜的那个地方.

你的眼霜/遮遐膏会让那个眼影颜色看起来更加的显眼. 就像照片里的那样.

因为earth palatte 里的白色眼影不是那种很深的白色, 在眼皮上面把颜色拍上去还有在眼影下上了一层眼霜会让眼影颜色看起来更显著.

Take a flat headed brush, and tap it into M15 & M10. which is a matte brown& light shimmer black color.

(by doing this the brown will neutralize the black color making it looking not too stern/ harsh on the eyes)

and apply it onto the hollows of your eyes. apply it right above the white eyeshadow,

but DO NOT let the black eyeshadow touch the white eyeshadow.

If you have problem applying eyeshadow on the hollows of your eyes, imagine you're drawing a semi circle,

and go with the shape of your eye! easy! :D

用一把平头刷, 沾上一些M15+M10, (黑色+褐色)

酱子做的话,褐色会把黑色的色素淡化,让黑色在眼睛上面看起来没那么的凶.

然后把颜色刷在眼窝. 就是白色的上面.

不过不要让黑色的眼影动到白色的眼影.

如果你在化眼窝方面有一点困难的话, 你相象一下你跟住你眼球的形状化一个半圆形,应该会比较容易一点~ ;D

K if you still accidentally did mixed them together, it's no worries

you can still fix the look by patting the same white colored eyeshadow onto the lid/ onto the black eyeshadow.

不过如果你还是不小心的把那两个颜色混在一起的话,也不用紧啦.

还是有得救的, 就用同样的白色眼影拍在颜色被混合起来的地方.

Using the same M01, take another brush (I'm using a big eyeshadow brush) tap on some white eyeshadow,

and brush it all over the browbone, and the front& back of the eye. by doing this you're also blending out the harsh lines of the dark colored eyeshadow. See the difference? :)

用着一样的白色 M01, 拿另外一把刷子, *我用的是一个比较大个的眼影刷*

拍上一些白色眼影. 然后左右扫过眉骨,酱做的话你也是把黑色眼影看起来框住你眼睛的粗线混出去了. 看得出差别吗? :)

and draw on a winged eyeliner <<click here for tutorial

put on some false eyelashes and you're almost done!

but WAITTTT AHHHH!!

然后就化上猫眼线winged eyeliner,

放上一对假睫毛, 你就差不多要完成了眼妆咯!

不过等一下啊啊啊啊!!

Using the M06 from the earth palatte, take an eyeshadow applicator and tap some silver glitter color onto the tip of the applicator and line it on the front of the eye. close to the tearduct.

and using the same brown from M05, take an eyeshadow brush and brush the brown onto the back half of your lower eyeliner.

And you can choose to apply on double eyelid tape or not :)

I did !

用earth palatte里的M06, 拿一把眼影刷沾上, 然后把那银白色的眼影粉拍在眼头上.

然后用着同样的褐色M05, 拿一把眼影刷把褐色刷在你后半部分的下眼线上.

然后你可以选择要不要粘上双眼皮贴. =)

我有喔!

********************************************

嘴唇的话推荐mm们用比较明显的粉红色

例如 Make Me Sin 的颜色! :)

As for the lips, you girls could try to use a baby pink color,

like the color of Make Me Sin!

And it's DONE!!! :D

Hope you girls like it!

然后就~~

大功告成啦~~!

希望mm们喜欢! ;)

Lippies- Mounlin Rouge Series

2011-04-07T17:05:00.000+08:00

Hey girls! As I've mentioned in a recent blogpost,

I might be uploading a few more new makeup products for sale right? :D

Here's a bit of the products up for grabs first.

Which are... LIPGLOSSES!

What made me get a these few babies, is because of the quality.

It glides on my lips nicely and it moisturizes well!
The color payoff is sheer, but it does the job on giving a hint of color on the lips,
Most importantly.. it doesn't friggin chap my lips!
I'll SHOW YOU BELOW!

各位Mm们好吖~ 最近我不是有提到,

我可能会放几样新的化妆产品来卖吗~? :D

我先放上一些先~ ^^

这些就是......唇密!

为什么我会拿这些唇密的原因是因为它的质感很好~

在我嘴唇上面的感觉就是; 很滋润,然后光感也很好 ^^

颜色很轻透, 但是还是有一定的颜色,又不会很厚重.

重点是.. 它不会让我嘴唇脱皮!

往下看!

Starting From Below (从下往上):

Kissable Me 15ml

Show a Little Skin15ml

Diamonds&Lust 15ml

Make Me Sin 15ml

**************************************************

Let me show you my lips without anything on first.

If you're wondering why are my lips looking so dull and black, it's because of years of smoking.

So peeps don't smoke so much aye? Just LOOK at my lips =_=

The chapped parts are formed because I don't drink enough water on a daily basis, maybe only 800ml tops a day = =

So peeps please drink at least 1 liter of water daily. Just LOOK at my lips. pfft!

*No other lipstick/ lip tint/ lip balm, or whatsoever lip products were used on my lips prior to product application.*

先给你们看看我的嘴唇没有上任何东西的时候.
如果你好奇为什么我的唇的颜色那么黑那么暗, 其实是因为我抽烟抽很多年了啦.
所以大家别抽太多烟. 看我唇就知道了. = =
然后干燥的部分是因为我一天里喝的水都不懂有没有800ml.
所以大家也请喝多一点水.看我的唇就知道了! +_+!!

*在我涂上唇密之前,我的唇没有涂上任何一种唇部产品*

***********************************************

(Before)

(After)

Kissable Me 15ml (RM26)

Kissable me is a plain non-colored lip gloss, a must have in every makeup collection.

that has a hint of mild Lemon flavor in it.

What I like about this lip gloss it's because after sitting on your lips for a while,

it looks like a healthy shine from your lips that makes you want to *SMOOOOOCCHH!!*

and look at the instant moisturized effect.

Plus, did you notice that it doesn't sink into the fine lines of my lips? ;)

Kissable Me 是一个透明的唇密, 洋溢着淡淡的柠檬味道
透明的唇密每个人都要有啦~^^
Kissable Me的特点是, 在唇上呆了一下后,
唇看起有着来从里到外的光泽感, 让人想亲下去呢~
唇直接被滋润了~
而且它也不会沉进唇上的细纹! :)

******************************************

(Before)

(After)

Show A Little Skin 15ml (RM26)

Show A Little Skin is the colored version of Kissable Me.

the same moisturizing effect and it also has a hint of mild Lemon flavor in it.
the color of Show A Little Skin reminds me of a glass of strawberry milkshake.
smooth,sweet and yummeh!!!

Show A Little Skin是Kissable Me的粉红版.
一样的滋润程度, 也一样散发出淡淡的柠檬味.
Show A Little Skin的颜色让我想起来我爱喝的草莓奶汐~
顺滑的口感,甜蜜,又好吃~

**************************************

(Before)

(After)

Diamonds and Lust 15ml (RM26)

Diamonds and Lust,
it has a hint of mild lemon flavor to it as well,
oooh it looks like it has a blue undertone to it right?
but nope, like a diamond,
it's actually a silver fine glitter with an iridescence color, but when it hits the light,
it looks like it has a blue undertone to it.
what's so good about a blue undertone?
because a lip product with a blue undertone makes the surrounding skin appear glowing,
and it's effective to make the teeth appear visually whiter!
**ba blingggg!!**
and don't worry, the glitter isn't chunky/ big at all.

Diamonds and Lust,
一样散发出淡淡的柠檬味,
看起来有点带蓝的亮粉色对吗?
其实不是~ 像钻石一样,
它其实是银色的细粉, 当它被光打到的时候,看起来就有点带蓝.
带蓝的唇部产品有什么好呢?
因为带蓝的唇部化妆品会让唇部附近的皮肤看起来有光泽,
然后视觉上会让牙齿看起来白白的喔!
*blingg!!*
*************************************

(Before)

(After)

Make Me Sin (15ml) RM26

This lipgloss was what I've used in my AngelaBaby inspired tutorial to finish off the look.
with a hint of mild lemon flavor to it,
Make Me Sin is the most pigmented in color out of all 4 lippies of the Moulin Rouge series.
and it has gold fine glitter with an iridescence color.
but don't let the color scare you off;
as I've mentioned earlier, the color payoff of all the lippies are sheer, but they do posses enough of a punch to give a hint of color of the lips.
Look at my before& after pictures to get what I mean ;P

and don't worry, the glitter isn't chunky/ big at all. =)

这支唇密是我在AngelaBaby inspired tutorial里面用的唇密.
一样散发出淡淡的柠檬味,
它是4支唇密里面颜色最出色的.
有着细细的金色粉,
不过别让那颜色吓着你了,
就如我刚才所说, 4只唇密的颜色都不会很艳, 可是又够颜色让唇看起来健康. :)

2011-03-29T19:14:00.000+08:00

Don't ask why but what comes into my mind of the country Australia- is koala bears. lol.

I'll be going to Melbourne on the 30th of March till the 3rd of April with my family!!! WHOPPIE!!!

I'M MAD EXCITED ABOUT THE TRIP!!

Sooooooo...

Since I'll not be bringing my laptop, and I'll be leaving 80% of my makeup products at home,

makeup tutorials will be put on hold for a week or so. =(
but but but! I will try uploading videos of skincare and hair tutorials instead. lol. faster that way.

And if you have an enquiry on the makeup products that I sell please note that I'm going to be replying you whenever I find a wifi connection. apologies for that.

BUT!! while I'm there, I might face some makeup ER and use like minimal makeup products to create a look!

muahahaha. I always feel that I don't bring enough makeup on a trip. But there's no definition of "enough makeup" for a us makeup lovers. XD

Anyway, I pray you guys are well,

Love, Veron Chuang.

Make your own tinted sunscreen+ tinted moisturizer!

2011-03-27T14:27:00.000+08:00

(This is something that most people already know; but some still don't know yet, so let's share it out and save our purses from bleeding cash whey.*winks*)

(其实这个勒,已经很多人知道怎么做了的; 不过还是会有些人不知道, 所以大家一起分享出去,一起省钱吧~ ^^)

LEFT: D.I.Y tinted sunscreen

RIGHT: D.I.Y tinted moisturizer

(no concealer on dark eye circles. *gaspzz*)

左: DIY的有色防晒霜.

右: DIY的有色保湿液

**************************************************

WHAT YOU'LL NEED FOR TINTED SUNSCREEN
有色防晒霜需要啥.

**************************************************

From left : An empty container, a plastic spatula (or anything you have that you can mix things with)
, a glass bowl (optional. you can even use a plastic card),

your choice of sunblock (I'm using sunblock by Methode Swiss SPF 30) your choice of foundation (I'm using Aery Jo Fitting sun foundation SPF28)

左边开始: 一个小空瓶, 一个小舀子,一个玻璃碗(不一定需要.你也可以用一个塑胶卡),
你自己的防晒膏(我用的是menthode swiss, 防晒指数30), 你自己的粉底液
(我用的是AERY JO FITTING SUN FOUNDATION,防晒指数28)

I'm not really a fan the foundation, (well if you have read my blog a few times you might notice that I've mentioned before that I rarely use full on foundation on my skin)

because I get this effect when I apply it on my skin. (picture above)
I'm not sure why but it's like the goddess of foundation HATES me. I've tried tons of ways to apply foundation from using fingers to brushes, moisturizers/sprays/makeup bases/ essence/ below foundation or even above foundation. It still looks like that. no matter what brand = ="

It looks wrinkly and chalky on my skin and it enlarges the whiteheads (eww yes i have whiteheads on my fist )

Plus, it's a bit more darker than my normal skin tone *that's the lightest shade already -_-*, so it makes the skin on my face look dull.

Why I haven't got rid of it yet? Because it costs me a whopping RM180 (If I don't remember wrongly)

And I've only used it like.. 5 times MAX.

So, for the foundation on this tutorial, you don't need to rush out and BUY another foundation.

instead, you can use a foundation that you've bought before but maybe it's a shade darker than your skin tone,

or maybe the consistency of your foundation is a bit too thick to your liking.

At least give this a try before letting it sit and expire in your makeup box aye =)

It's super easy and fun to do btw!

(如果你之前就有读过我部落的话,你或许有点印象, 我有提起过我很少在我皮肤上涂粉底液)
因为如果我在我脸上涂粉底液的话就会有酱的效果. (上面的图片).
可能我上辈子惹到了粉底液的精灵, 我用过很多种方法涂粉底液.
从用手指到用各种刷子, 到在上粉底液前或后涂隔离霜/防晒/润肤液/喷雾/精华, 还是会看起来那样 = =" 不管用什么牌子的,都一样. = =
我的皮肤就会看起来很邹,一塌一塌酱的感觉. 然后粉刺都会出来(嘿我的拳头上有粉刺.xD)
而且这个粉底液,虽然我已经买了最浅的颜色, 它还是比我自己的肤色暗一些.
上了后整个脸会看起来很暗.
为什么我还没有丢掉呢? 因为这瓶东西没有记错的话好像是RM180.
而且我只用过5次. (最多. = =)

所以这个教学的粉底液, 你不用特地去买多一个啦.
你可以用你自己本身有的, 或者你买过,但是颜色暗一点的,
或者你觉得质感有点太厚的粉底液, 你都能搬出来用.
至少试过了嘛. 要不然也是放在化妆包里发霉,对吗? =)
而且超容易做的啦. 又好玩!

*******************************************

(Left, foundation, Right, Sunblock)
(左, 粉底液, 右边,防晒膏)

K so First up, pump out a pump of foundation and a squeeze of sunblock into your glass bowl.
You can use a plastic card too or ANYTHING you can think of to mix these two together as long as it's sanitary for you!

首先,你就按出一点粉底液, 再挤出一点防晒膏进你的玻璃碗里面.
你也可以用你也可以用一个塑胶卡,什么都行啦,只要是可以把这两样产品混在一起,
对你来说又干净的东西,就行了!

Use your plastic spatula and mix the foundation and sunblock together! *mix mix mix...*

用你的小舀子把粉底液跟防晒膏混在一起!

And this is the end result! :D
The shade of the color is a tad bit lighter because of the white colored sunblock I've used to mix the foundation with. the consistency still remains thick! :D
But I think I've used a bit too much of both of the products, as I only need 50% of what you see in the picture for my whole face.

然后就会变成酱了! :D
颜色会看起来白一点点因为我拿来混粉底液的的防晒膏是白色的的关系.
质感还是厚的! :D
不过我觉得我好像做到太多出来了. 因为我整个脸只需要用到你看到小舀子上的产品的50% = =

The amount on my finger is the amount of what I've used to apply on my left cheek.
我在手指上沾的分量是我用来涂在我左边脸的.

How it looks like on the back of my hand. It looks just like my skin instead of something over it!

If you'd like to use the ratio of products that I've used, it's 50% foundation and 50% sun screen. to my skin it looks like a tint of color+ minimal coverage

If you'd like more coverage, use 70% foundation and 30% sunscreen.

**If you would like just a tint of color on your face with a moisturizing purpose,
don't do this, scroll down instead! :D **

Of course the coverage won't be as good as a foundation because we've mixed it together with a sunblock.

Btw, this is a fact, when you mix ANYTHING with sunblock/sunscreen,
you're likely changing the protective factor of the sunscreen, so it might be lowering the SPF.
But I don't really care that much because my sunblock is a SPF 30, and the foundation has a SPF 28,
plus I'm not gonna play in the sun for hours, just for a protection against UV rays and stuffs, but still got some coverage and color on my face whenever I'm out for shopping/ having tea with my friends

You can choose whether you would want to make a bit more of the tinted sunscreen and fill it in an empty container. But I don't recommend you to make like a month's supply of it. Instead, make only a supply of 5 days - a week. Because you want to keep your product "fresh" what!

在我手背上的效果. 比起有一层东西盖过脸的感觉, 看起来还满像我自己的皮肤的.

我用了50%的粉底液, 50%的防晒膏, 在我的皮肤上就像就有一点颜色+轻微遮暇的效果.

当然,如果你想要有更多的遮暇效果的话,就用70%的粉底液, 还有30%的防晒.

*如果你只是想要在脸上有一点的颜色,但是又具备滋润效果的, 请往下拉~*

不过当然, 粉底的遮遐效果就没那么好了,因为你已经把它跟防晒参在一起了~.

对了,只要你把任何一种东西跟防晒膏混合在一起用, 你的防晒膏的防晒指数可能会跌.

不过我也没管那么多啦, 因为我的防晒已经是SPF30了, 粉底又是SPF28,

我也不会在大太阳底下爆晒几个小时; 我只要有个能均应我肤色又有一点点遮暇的防晒膏,当我跟朋友出门的时候,或者喝茶的时候,保护我的皮肤,隔离紫外线.

你可以选择要不要做多一点, 然后装在一个小空瓶里. 不过我不推荐你们做一个月的分量啦.

做大概5天到一个星期的分量就够了, 因为你要你的产品"保持新鲜"~!

TINTED MOISTURIZER TUTORIAL
********************************************

Using a foundation of your choice, and a moisturizer of your choice.
I'm using Akin's unscented 24 hour pure moisture.
Which looks like this.

用你自己的粉底液,还有你自己的润肤液.
我用的是Akin's 牌子的unscented 24 hour pure moisture.
看起来就像酱!

The consistency is a bit more fluid-like.

质感会比较水状!

I've placed both the foundation and the moisturizer into an empty container,
the ratio is also 50% moisturizer, 50% foundation.

然后我把粉底液,还有润肤液倒进一个小空瓶里面,
份量也是50%粉底, 50%润肤液.

Mix em both together with your spatula. *mix mix mix mix mix*
(Looks gross right? I KNOW. heh)

把2种产品混合在一起...........
(看起来是有一点恶心啦. XD)

End result! The consistency is more creamier than the tinted sunblock,
It kind of reminds me of RMK liquid foundation actually! XD
Now I'm not saying that you'll get the same consistency that I've got when you mix it with your own products,
but here's a tip; the more liquid your moisturizer is, the closer you get to this consistency.
and it just feels super lightweight to the skin!

完成品! 质感会比有色防晒霜"水"!
还有点让我想到rmk的水状粉底液勒! 哈! XD
不过要跟mm们说下, 我不担保你们用自己的产品混在一起后会得到一模一样的质感,
这里给你们一个小贴士;就是, 你的润肤液越水状, 完成品的质感会靠近图片里的质感.
然后就是在皮肤上的感觉很轻透啦!

(How the tinted moisturizer looks like on my face)

(在我脸上的效果)

(How it looks like on the back of my hand. moisture surge!! :D)

If you work in an air-conditioned environment, and is getting fed up with foundation because it feels drying to your skin, I recommend that you try this. :)

And again,you can choose whether you would want to make a bit more of the tinted moisturizer and fill it in an empty container. But I don't recommend you to make like a month's supply of it. Instead, make only a supply of 5 days - a week. Because you want to keep your product "fresh" what!

(在我手背上的效果!水嫩嫩滴~! :D)

如果你在一个一直要吹冷气的工作环境下做工, 然后用粉底用到怕了,因为皮肤会干干,
你可以试试办看做这个吖~ :)

然后呢, 你也可以选择要不要做多一点, 然后装在一个小空瓶里. 不过我不推荐你们做一个月的分量啦.

做大概5天到一个星期的分量就够了, 因为你要你的产品"保持新鲜"~!

******************************************

Remember to remove it from your face when you've reached home!!

yes even when you use sunblock on it's own,

you still have to remove it! or your pores will get clogged!

same for the tinted moisturizer!

回到家后记得卸掉喔! 不管是有色滋润膏还是有色防晒膏都一样!
就算你单单用防晒膏也一定要卸掉! 记得啊~!!
要不然毛孔会阻塞的~!

(on simple cleansing wipes)

(我用simple cleansing wipes卸掉的.)

***************************************

Yes alot of makeup brands out there do sell ready-made tinted moisturizers and sunscreens.

But I only remember Benefit and Laura Mercier. XD

Anyway, I hope this tutorial helps and hope you girls like it!

其实在外头有很多化妆品牌都有卖现成的有色滋润膏/有色防晒膏.
可是我暂时只记得Benefit 还有Laura Mercier有卖啦..XD

最后,我希望这个教学有帮到你们,也希望mm们会喜欢~

Love, Veron Chuang

MARRIAGE(Story)

2011-03-24T21:20:00.002+08:00

***Note there is a Mandarin and English version of this story; I'm not sure which came out first and I do not know who is the author, it's all over the internet.***

When I got home that night as my wife served dinner, I held her hand and said, I've got something to tell you. She sat down and ate quietly. Again I observed the hurt in her eyes.

Suddenly I didn't know how to open my mouth. But I had to let her know what I was thinking. I want a divorce. I raised the topic calmly.

She didn't seem to be annoyed by my words, instead she asked me softly, why?

I avoided her question. This made her angry. She threw away the chopsticks and shouted at me, you are not a man! That night, we didn't talk to each other. She was weeping. I knew she wanted to find out what had happened to our marriage. But I could hardly give her a satisfactory answer; she had lost my heart to Jane. I didn't love her anymore. I just pitied her!

With a deep sense of guilt, I drafted a divorce agreement which stated that she could own our house, our car, and 30% stake of my company.

She glanced at it and then tore it into pieces. The woman who had spent ten years of her life with me had become a stranger. I felt sorry for her wasted time, resources and energy but I could not take back what I had said for I loved Jane so dearly. Finally she cried loudly in front of me, which was what I had expected to see. To me her cry was actually a kind of release. The idea of divorce which had obsessed me for several weeks seemed to be firmer and clearer now.

The next day, I came back home very late and found her writing something at the table. I didn't have supper but went straight to sleep and fell asleep very fast because I was tired after an eventful day with Jane.

When I woke up, she was still there at the table writing. I just did not care so I turned over and was asleep again.

In the morning she presented her divorce conditions: she didn't want anything from me, but needed a month's notice before the divorce. She requested that in that one month we both struggle to live as normal a life as possible. Her reasons were simple: our son had his exams in a month's time and she didn't want to disrupt him with our broken marriage.

This was agreeable to me. But she had something more, she asked me to recall how I had carried her into out bridal room on our wedding day.

She requested that every day for the month's duration I carry her out of our bedroom to the front door ever morning. I thought she was going crazy. Just to make our last days together bearable I accepted her odd request.

I told Jane about my wife's divorce conditions. . She laughed loudly and thought it was absurd. No matter what tricks she applies, she has to face the divorce, she said scornfully.

My wife and I hadn't had any body contact since my divorce intention was explicitly expressed. So when I carried her out on the first day, we both appeared clumsy. Our son clapped behind us, daddy is holding mommy in his arms. His words brought me a sense of pain. From the bedroom to the sitting room, then to the door, I walked over ten meters with her in my arms. She closed her eyes and said softly; don't tell our son about the divorce. I nodded, feeling somewhat upset. I put her down outsidethe door. She went to wait for the bus to work. I drove alone to the office.

On the second day, both of us acted much more easily. She leaned on my chest. I could smell the fragrance of her blouse. I realized that I hadn't looked at this woman carefully for a long time. I realized she was not young any more. There were fine wrinkles on her face, her hair was graying! Our marriage had taken its toll on her. For a minute I wondered what I had done to her.

On the fourth day, when I lifted her up, I felt a sense of intimacy returning. This was the woman who had given ten years of her life to me.

On the fifth and sixth day, I realized that our sense of intimacy was growing again. I didn't tell Jane about this. It became easier to carry her as the month slipped by. Perhaps the everyday workout made me stronger.

She was choosing what to wear one morning. She tried on quite a few dresses but could not find a suitable one. Then she sighed, all my dresses have grown bigger. I suddenly realized that she had grown so thin, that was the reason why I could carry her more easily.

Suddenly it hit me... she had buried so much pain and bitterness in her heart. Subconsciously I reached out and touched her head.

Our son came in at the moment and said, Dad, it's time to carry mom out. To him, seeing his father carrying his mother out had become an essential part of his life. My wife gestured to our son to come closer and hugged him tightly. I turned my face away because I was afraid I might change my mind at this last minute. I then held her in my arms, walking from the bedroom, through the sitting room, to the hallway. Her hand surrounded my neck softly and naturally. I held her body tightly; it was just like our wedding day.

But her much lighter weight made me sad. On the last day, when I held her in my arms I could hardly move a step. Our son had gone to school. I held her tightly and said, I hadn't noticed that our life lacked intimacy.

I drove to office.... jumped out of the car swiftly without locking the door. I was afraid any delay would make me change my mind...I walked upstairs. Jane opened the door and I said to her, Sorry, Jane, I do not want the divorce anymore.

She looked at me, astonished, and then touched my forehead. Do you have a fever? She said. I moved her hand off my head. Sorry, Jane, I said, I won't divorce. My marriage life was boring probably because she and I didn't value the details of our lives, not because we didn't love each other anymore. Now I realize that since I carried her into my home on our wedding day I am supposed to hold her until death do us apart.

Jane seemed to suddenly wake up. She gave me a loud slap and then slammed the door and burst into tears. I walked downstairs and drove away.

At the floral shop on the way, I ordered a bouquet of flowers for my wife. The salesgirl asked me what to write on the card. I smiled and wrote, I'll carry you out every morning until death do us apart.

That evening I arrived home, flowers in my hands, a smile on my face, I run up stairs, only to find my wife in the bed - dead.

My wife had been fighting CANCER for months and I was so busy with Jane to even notice. She knew that she would die soon and she wanted to save me from the whatever negative reaction from our son, in case we push thru with the divorce.-- At least, in the eyes of our son--- I'm a loving husband....

The small details of your lives are what really matter in a relationship. It is not the mansion, the car, property, the money in the bank. These create an environment conducive for happiness but cannot give happiness in themselves. So find time to be your spouse's friend and do those little things for each other that build intimacy. Do have a real happy marriage!

If you don't share this, nothing will happen to you.

If you do, you just might save a marriage.

Many of life's failures are people who did not realize how close they were to success when they gave up.
