Mitchy-Matchy: Colorful Eye Makeup To Go With A Colorful Dress

January 23, 2012 by Bun Bun 23 Comments

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

8 Days of Christmas Eye Makeup Tutorials: Day 7

December 30, 2011 by Bun Bun 12 Comments

I cannot believe I have managed to keep up with the 8 Days of Christmas Eye Makeup Tutorials series. I’d feared I’d drop out by Day 4, but LOOK! It’s Day 7 already! *Applause and whistles*

Today’s look was exactly what I wore on Christmas day. I went for a movie with my siblings and cousins and then we all went to grandma’s house in the late evening to join the rest of the family.

Up till I was in Primary 6, Christmas gatherings used to involve a big, beautifully decorated Christmas tree at one of my uncle’s house, under which presents wrapped in the most colorful wrapping papers laid. Back then, it was only me, my younger sister, and a few cousins, making the third generation a mere total of 5 or 6.

We would sneak (in full view of the adults, actually. lol.) up to the tree and look for our names that would be found on the presents, giggle to ourselves, pretend we didn’t see anything, and put the presents back.

8 Days of Christmas Eye Makeup Tutorials: Day 5

December 28, 2011 by Bun Bun 2 Comments

This must be one of my favorite eye makeup looks! It was one of my AH-HA! moments that resulted in the creation of this look. So many different colors used, all complementing each other flawlessly. I love how the gold, bronze-brown and maroon eyeshadows, and blue matte eyeliner look so perfect alongside one another. The green contact lenses brings the whole look together.

I it very mucheee!

I wore it to a Christmas Eve’s eve gathering with friends and it was perfect for my color-block ensemble of a persimmon-orange top and cobalt-blue shorts.

8 Days of Christmas Eye Makeup Tutorials: Day 3

December 26, 2011 by Bun Bun 6 Comments

Have you ever wondered why we use red and green for Christmas?

Honestly, I never questioned why red and green are symbolic of Christmas. This combination of colors is so deeply associated with Christmas that we hardly ever question the origins of the ‘colors of Christmas’.

I’m not a Christian, but celebrate Christmas as a special day of being with family and friends, and gifting my beloved ones presents carefully wrapped in brown paper packaging tied up with strings, these are a few of my favorite things….. LOL! Actually I love using colorful wrapping paper, makes the present look even more endearing! =D

This is a summary of what I found to be the reasons red and green are used as the official colors of Christmas.

GREEN represents hope given to mankind through the sacrifices of Christ, and the evergreen trees that we use as Christmas trees represent everlasting life.

RED represents the blood of Christ, shed for all humans in order that they might be saved.

Whenever people put together an apparel ensemble of red and green, they’ll receive remarks such as “Celebrating Christmas already huh?” Bet you must’ve said that about some person at least once in your life! Heh heh.

Okie! Now that we know the origins of Christmas colors, here’s an eye makeup tutorial using red and green.

8 Days of Christmas Eye Makeup Tutorials: Day 2

December 25, 2011 by Bun Bun 7 Comments

Told ya it’s gonna be a gold look! Heh heh heh.

Wooohooooo!! It’s Christmas Day! What are you doing today? Going anywhere special?

Today’s look is very easy, I played down the rest of the eyeshadows to make the MAC Old Gold pigment stand out. It’s a very warm and classy look, nothing too extravagant that would frighten off little cousins – like these!

Here’re the products used to create this gold eye makeup look:

EYES

Eyeshadow Primer – UDPP Eden

Eyelid – MAC Old Gold pigment

Contour Area – MAC Satin Taupe

Outer V – Urban Decay Naked Palette Darkhorse

Highlight – MAC Shroom
