Enhancing and Contouring Neutral Eye Makeup for Beginners
LET’S GO BACK TO BASICS! This one’s a super-quick clip for the newbies to makeup who are still figuring out where colors go and how to use those neutral palettes.
This also includes universally flattering steps that can enhance most eye shapes, by lifting the socket, widening the outer corners, lifting the center of the lids, elongating the eyes, etc.
If you’re experienced with your eye makeup, this is probably not the video for you. But if you’re still figuring your way through that quad or palette, click play and sit back!

Got a huge crush on #Stila’s Field of Florals Convertible Color Lip & Cheek Palette. It’s a great way to try out 12 shades without committing to full sizes.
And this would be great when traveling cos you get lotsa lip + cheek options with less clutter. (Although I’ll admit this is more a cheek palette for me.) I got this from Beautybay as I haven’t seen this in Sg - but I might be wrong!
#VDL Beauty Metal Cushion foundation - one of the longer-lasting cushions I’ve tried; I have a full review and demo on http://blogger.makeup-box.com/2015/06/vdl-base-makeup-collection-series-2.html!
#YSL Touche Eclat
#Stila Stay All Day Brow Color - too warm for my taste but this good for filling in remaining gaps after I use pencil and brow mascara
#Sephora Velvet Shadow 03 Rich Champagne
#Maybelline Color Tattoo in Bas To The Bronze
#MAC Retro Matte Lipstick in Steady Going
#YSL Top Secret Replumping Lip Concentrate

I don’t think you necessarily need expensive brushes for good makeup application.
But #Hakuhodo does make a majority of my current favorites and I consider them a go-to for the consistent high quality and how incredible the brushes feel against the skin.
Top from left:
S116 - this small flat tapered highlighter brush is the softest thing ever. Great for applying highlighter to precise areas or to set concealer under the eyes without applying too much powder.
J142 - crease blender for transition shades; ultra soft and not too big for Asian sockets.
J004 - a flattened packer brush that soft enough that it makes a FANTASTIC undereye concealer brush for those who prefer something that pats (as opposed to buffing) for more coverage.
J5514 - love this pencil brush for applying shadow along the lower lash line.
Bottom from left:
J110 - their classic blush brush; this is a ball of cottony softness on your cheeks
J544 - duofiber foundation brush; this looks cool but like every other duofiber I’ve used it was a waste of time for me, cos there’s nothing those wispy sparse hairs can do that my fingers can’t do 10x faster and more seamlessly; but that’s just me!
J5511 - tiny smudger; great for applying and smudging products around the lash line when you don’t want to be too precise.
J521 - tiny squared flat brush; try this for applying gel eyeliner, and for tightlining!
J533 - pointed smudger; great for diffusing and smoking out shadow along the lower lash line.
I’ll walk you through some of my brushes and my “approach” to choosing and using brushes on dayre.me/makeupbox later today!

Very Violet!
#UrbanDecay’s signature color is a vivid purple, and they’ve gone and made that into a gorgeous Afterglow blush and Revolution High-Color lipgloss.
If you are a fan of purple (rich purples are very flattering) you’ll be able to get hold of the new ranges from 11 June in Singapore!
Eyeshadow in Backfire - a deep burgundy with purple shift. This shade will be launched with a series of new creamy duochrome colors.
#Afterglow Blush in Obsessed (candy pink) and Bittersweet
#Revolution Lip Glosses in Big Bang (translucent plum with magenta sparkles) and Bittersweet
#eyeshadow in Bordello - mauve pink with gold sheen; this is not a new shade but I highly recommend this gorgeous shadow if you like pinky purply shades

What is it about #TomFord that screams glam?
Don’t spend too long trying to figure it out or the Summer 2015 collection in the gorgeous white and gold casing is going to be sold out cos it launched yesterday.
My picks?
#1 Cream Cheek Color 01 Pink Sand - a rose gold flush
#2 Bronzing compact in Terra - this matte cool-toned shade is better for sculpting and contouring the cheeks and jaws
#3 Lip Sheers in Rose Soleil (bronze-rose shimmer) and Paradiso (coral creme) though all 4 shades are gorgeous
#4 Eye and Cheek Compact Summer 2015 - LOVE the golden neutral and wine shades; if the darker blush shade looks scary just mix both shades together for a softer flush
#5 Cream and Powder Eye Colors 02 Oyster and 04 Midnight Sea - one is a foolproof sexy smoky taupe eye, the other an incredible pairing of duochrome dark brown and oceanic blue.
I don’t love Peach Gold (nothing very interesting happens when you layer the sparkle and cream) and I haven’t had a chance to see Nude Bronze.

Rich and Lush! It’s almost Friday and almost the end of a hectic week so - yay. Went for berry and plum inspired things today.
#LANEIGE Lip Sleeping Mask - this new berry-laden lip salve melts on like butter, smooths lips, and smells like a dream. And it’s SGD27 for a big 20g jar. Highly recommend it. More details and launch date on blogger.makeup-box.com!
#LauraGeller Blush and Brighten in Tropic Hues - gold, rose, and plum all swirled together
#Kiehls Iris Extract Activating Treatment Essence - a silky lotion with iris and LHA that helps hydrate, exfoliate and treat the skin while smelling beautiful
#TomFord Velvet Orchid eau de parfum - ugh, I LUV THIS STUFF!
#YSL Rouge Volupté Shine No18 Prune in Fire - creamy deep berry-plum
#Hourglass Modernist palette in Exposure - I find this line a bit underwhelming but this is still my fave color group of the lot
