Cherry for Autumn?

Hi there~

Bad news is my Macbook pro is unrepairable and I have to sell it for a very very cheap price and have to save up to buy a new one. Yes I know you may recommend me to get a PC laptop for cheaper price, but seriously for the same chip, graphic card etc PC laptops are NOT cheaper than Macbook pro. Not to mention I really like Mac OS and Mac's screen is the best I've come across. I heard nice things about Dell ultra sharp but to be honest the price is actually higher so why not another Macbook? I'm working on many stuffs like fashion, graphic design and photography so I think I need it. But this time I'll make sure to buy Apple care. You never know what will happen.

So this time I'm still using my Dell mini, you know Dell mini is very weak it basically can't even run a HD clip smoothly so no Photoshop for me T.T I really miss blogging but I can't bear posting un-edited pictures on here, I just feel like I don't respect my viewers. But I found an website that allow me to edit pictures so I decided to blog a little bit about make-up trend this autumn.

You might notice gothic make-up is making its way back so dark lip is a must. But what's to choose? The best video you can watch about this is from Lisa Eldridge (yes that's her again), she has done a vid since last year I think about all kind of dark lip and how to wear them, also she teamed up with ELLE US for a new tutorial and introduce some new products. She has mention my all time favorite dark lipstick which is Revlon Black Cherry. I love the color, textures and especially the price. For all the drugstore lipstick I've tried, Revlon is the only one brand makes high-end quality lipstick, I'd never buy any lipstick from Mac because Revlon did a lot better. Here is me in Revlon Black Cherry. I recommend you leave the everything very natural : minimum eye make-up (I don't even wear any in this pic) groomed brows and a bit of of contour/bronzer is enough, no blush because it'll be too much, do not over bronzer because it'll look cheap and nasty. All about the lips.

Btw I know not everybody dare to wear dark lipstick, so why not try a lip balm? Korres makes awesome lip butter with hint of color, the one in Wild Rose is perfect for those who want to try this trend but don't want full dark lip. And two brighter version that's worth trying is Burberry Lip Cover in Bright Plum - a vibrant reddish plum which will not too dark, and from the high street Rimmel Lasting Finish by Kate Moss in No.1 - a classic red but in the dark side which totally wearable. 

It's autumn, my favorite season of the year, and I already feel the sadness in the air. Good sadness, Precious sadness. Put a dark lip on, ladies!

MOTD : The dark.

Few weeks ago I've done make up for a fashion photoshoot. I've done 2 looks but my favorite is this look so I post it here. 

Trend : Pastel Eye Make-up

It's so damn easy to see what is the big trend now. Simply look at all Spring make-up collection of high-end brand, or the back of pastel jeans. I'm a bit sad because I can't wear full pastel clothes even I'm a big fan of pastel colors because I have a full figure, but however I still can wear a black/navy jeans/legging with pastel top and a lovely nude shoes, I have a mint green bag too that should be perfect for Spring.

So what's about make up? Just looke at Lancôme, YSL, Dior... limited collection you can see the pastel make up is coming back with luminous skin and pastel colors for eyes, lips and cheeks. But still, this is not easy to wear. It's ok for you to wear like the girl in campaigns below to a party or even :

Lancôme 

Dior

YSL

But my favorite this season is definitely Giorgio Armani! Yes they still have the pastel palette in the collection, but it's nothing about cute or something like that when you heard the word "pastel". It's morden, edgy, wearable for normal day. The skin is Luminous ( <3 GA Luminous Silk Foundation), strong but light color eyebrow, the eyes is just a hint of minty green with the glossy finish and 2 coats of mascara. Cheeks and lips are very simple to re-created just a little bit of pink brown blush or light bronzer and natural gloss.  

The eyes make-up is easy for you to do. Blend light green color all over your eyelid, and use a clear lipgloss on top, then curl your eyelashes, apply mascara! If you don't like cool tone color, try to use a hot pink gloss all over your eyelid like Emma Waster cover of ELLE

If you can't afford a high-end palette just to play around this season to be on trend, I recommend the MUA Pretty Pastel palette only available in Superdrug, price is £4.00 for 12 colors :
