In a recent haul post, I blogged about some newly acquired eyeshadows from Makeup Geek (MUG). I’m gonna do a review on them soon, but for now, this was one of the first few looks created using Makeup Geek eyeshadows. Razzleberry and Peacock were used here.
EYES

Eyelid - MAC Gorgeous Gold (Inner 1/2), MUG Razzleberry (Outer 1/2)
Contour Area – MAC Satin Taupe
Outer V – MUG Peacock
Highlight – MAC Shroom

The trick to make colored eyeliners work is to keep the rest of the eye makeup neutral or not-so-colorful, so that the focus is on the eyeliner. This is the look I wore in the MAC 109 Small Contour Brush review and Bourjois Contour Clubbing Eyeliner review.
Here are the products used:
EYES
Eyeshadow Primer – UDPP Eden
Eyelid – Sugarpill Afterparty
Contour Area – NYX Red Bean
Outer V – None
Highlight – Sugarpill Tako
Inner Corner – Sugarpill Tako
Lower Lash Line – Sugarpill Poison Plum, NYX Dark Brown
Eyeliner – Bourjois Contour Clubbing Blue Remix Eyeliner, Clio Brush Liner Kill Black
Eyelash Primer – Shiseido Nourishing Mascara Base
Mascara – Clio O’Tank Volume Mascara (this is the crappy mascara I was talking about in the previous post)
Eyebrow – Lioele Auto Eyebrow 02 Dark Brown
The basic rule is that if your outfit of the day is colorful or outstanding in some way or other, eye makeup should be kept to be a minimum – at least with the colors used – so that the different elements do not contest against one another.
That’s what I normally adhere to, but you see,
“In all matters of creativity, rules are meant to be broken when necessary.” – Haley Langford
So for the first day of 2012, I wore a new, colorful, asymetrical dress and matched it with statement-making eye makeup.
EYES
Eyeshadow Primer – UDPP Eden, NYX Jumbo Eye Pencil Milk
Eyelid – Sugarpill Chromalust Absinthe
Contour Area – MAC Parfait Amour
Outer V – NYX Mermaid Green
If “Lumos!” is what the wizarding world chants to emit a warm glow from their wands, then “Luminoso” must be what we need to conjure a picture of perfect glowing cheeks in our muggle world.
Every time I use Milani Baked Blush in Luminoso, I think of Lumos, a latin word meaning ‘light’. And a gorgeous light it brings to the face, it does!
I don’t know about you, but to me, a ‘dupe’ should be 90% similar to the object of comparison.
While Luminoso has been named by many as a great drugstore dupe for NARS Orgasm, I don’t think it reminds me of Orgasm that much.
Orgasm is predominantly pink with tinge of peach, while Luminoso is mainly peach with some sweet pink.

Have you ever spent a White Christmas?
It was not until my 17th Christmas did I see and touch snow. My family and I were vacationing in Korea and my dad’s Korean friend said it was probably not going to snow that year. We were actually not too disappointed by that as the trip to Muju Island to ski on the mountains was enough to keep us all excited.
On Christmas morning I was the first to wake up and through my half-opened, blurry eyes, saw white flakes descending outside our window. IT SNOWED ON CHRISTMAS MORNING!!! 
GOODNESS! Pure exhilaration filled the room as my two younger brothers, who were only 8 and 9 year-olds then, squealed in delight and jumped around in the room.
It was extremely cold outside but it was so heartwarming to finally be able to extend my hand and have snow flakes falling onto my palm. Yes, I licked them up. 
At 17 years of age, I wore not a single trace of makeup. There, I just brought this post back to topic. Haha!
So here’s today’s face and silver-blue eye makeup tutorial!
