EOTD : Rainbow Eyes Makeup with Make Up For Ever

Yesterday I got some time to kill while waiting for an event to start, so Sephora KLCC was the perfect place to loiter and to check out some stuffs. While doing my beauty rounds, I looked at the mirror & thought that my makeup looked so plain. Then I remembered that morning I was in the rush to go out and just simply did natural brown makeup.

This is my "rainbow eyes" after playing with the colours !

And I am feeling so good because been some time I have not really play with colours because I always have to do quick makeup before I got to out out in the morning :)  

I always wanted to try Make Up For Ever Aqua cream and since all SAs were so busy serving customers, I went on try out Aqua Cream colours to "brighten up" my look. Those marked in stars is the colours that I picked up; i.e Pink Beige, Warm Beige and Intense Blue for their existing collection! 

I also picked up some of the colours from their latest Aqua Summer Collection ; i.e Delicate Pastel Green & Deep Iridescent Mauve! The green is so pretty...!!!! 

The Aqua Cream is an ultra-pigmented, long-lasting waterproof cream. Highly concentrated in mother-of-pearl pigments, it provides an immediate color intensity with a luminous finish. Its long-lasting formula will not crease or smudge under the most extreme conditions.

Oh  I love love love these Aqua cream, so easy to use...and seriously wanted to buy all those colours that I used! There is no real technique and I just use my finger to it glide it through.... so easy because the texture is so smooth...even I was applying on top on my existing eye colour. The Aqua cream colour is vibrant and really long lasting! Each Makeup Forever Aqua cream selling at RM 95 

Aqua Eyes is a waterproof liner pencil. Highly pigmented, its unique formula adheres to the eyelids and doesn't run or fade even under the most extreme conditions. Its fluid, creamy texture glides onto the skin and doesn't irritate the eye contour.

I also used Make Up For Ever Aqua Eyes too! Picked up Gold, Majorelle Blue and Turquoise! This eyeliner is creamy, glides on smoothly and the colours are so pigmented! It stay on the whole night without smudging or anything....and this is really making me falling in love with colour eyeliner! Each Makeup For Ever Aqua Eyes is selling at RM 64 (if not mistaken). 

I applied Warm Beige Aqua cream all over my eyelid and from inner of my eyes applied pink beige.then applied a little bit of Delicate Pastel Green & Deep Iridescent Mauve as I applied outward. At the corner of the eyes I applied Intense blue Aqua cream.

At the first half of my upper lid on the lash line, I used Turquoise Eyes pencil eyeliner and finish it off with Majorelle Blue. To enhance the look I used Aqua Liner in Gold on my waterline. 

Note: In the morning, I am using Lunasol Skin Modeling Water Liquid Foundation OC 03, Jane Iredale Pressed Mineral Powder in Warm Sienna, Lavshuca Melting Eyes OR-1 palette, K-Palette Zero Kuma Concealer 01, Nars Orgasm Blusher and Maybelline Cat Eyes Colossal Mascara.

To finish off the look, I simply picked up a nude pinkish lipstick from Laura Mercier & applied Benefit Sugarbomb Blusher :)

Do you like my rainbow eyes makeup ? 

Should I do this more often?

p/s: Maybe I should dig out those pigment and colourful eyeshadow to play with...one of these day!

My K-Palette Workshop with Noriko Imura & Giveaway

Last week I attended K-Palette Blogger workshop by Noriko Imura who is the official makeup artist for K-Palette in Japan. She flew in all the way from Japan just to conduct this workshop, awesome right! I remembered seeing K-Palette brand for the first time back in early February my Japan's trip and I was actually really attracted to their best seller i.e their liquid eyeliner named i.e 1 Day Tattoo eyeliner. My sis & I are a big fan of eyeliner, so we bought the eyeliner right away but I forgot to take it out and use. And good news is K-Palette has recently entered into Malaysian market and I was really excited to attend the workshop to know more about the brand.

Ms Caryn representive from K-Palette Malaysia is a really cheerful lady and she made a short warm welcoming note.

Check out her pink ombre hair, very cool!

Yukiko was the model of the day , she came with bare face but her skin is so clear & fair! Envy max!

Noriko-san started to do a makeup demo on Yukiko by introducing K-Palette Zero Kuma Concealer.

K-Palette Zero Kuma Concealer comes in 3 shades i.e Natural Beige, Yellow Beige and Orange Beige. We are advised to use shade 01 , Natural Beige as it will suits our Malaysian girl skintone unless you are very fair.

K-Palette Zero Kuma Concealer (RM44.90) claims that it can instantly cover dark eye circles and main skin moisture at the same time. This is because it is formulated with moisturizing Beauty Essence ingredients such as Hydrolyzed Hyaluronic Acid, Soluble Collagen and Rose Water.

Noriko-san said the best way to apply concealer on our eyes area is using our third fingers to dab a few dots around our eyes and use our fouth or ring finger to blend it, and we can even apply it (lightly) on our eyelid as eye base. The reason why we are always asked to use our fourth or ring finger to apply eye product is because this finger has the less strengh compared to others and we do not want to end up pulling our skin too hard which will then cause fine lines.

I can see Yukiko's eyes areas instantly brighten up with K-Palette Zero Kuma Concealer.

The K-Palette Zero Kuma Concealer texture comes in liquid form but it is kinda thick, so we only need to use a little bit to apply. It seems to give quite a good coverage without looking too heavy.

Next, Noriko-san introduced K-Palette Lasting 2Way Eyebrow (RM55.90) which comes in 2 colours, i.e Chocolate Brown & Honey Brown

This K-Palette Lasting 2Way Eyebrow has one end with liquid & another end with powder eyebrow

Description:

Liquid Eyebrow - This is a waterproof eyebrow liner& has the colour that is deep enough to conceal the areas of our eyebrow. Use it to draw a beautiful line along the edge of eyebrow. Claims to be smudge proof, resistance to sebum, water & perspiration.

Powder Eyebrow - The powder is able to cling tighly onto the skin. Its gold pearl allows easy creation of soft looking fluffy eyebrow. Its glittering powder tightly coats our eyebbrow and will gives it our eyebrow a natural look

Colour used here is : Chocolate Brown

So I tried and see whether it is waterproof or smudge proof. The result is that its really waterproof & smudge proof.

I personally like this K-Palette Lasting 2Way Eyebrow very much because both ends deliver different results , for a softer natural look I would use the powder & if I want to create a more define eyebrow shape I would use the liquid brow liner.

Another tips that Noriko-san shared during the workshop is that , the eyebrow powder can be used as colour eyeshadow as well.

Honestly I am quite fail when comes to eyebrow as I only know how to fill in the eyebrow gap with my eyebrow pencil after my makeup artist shaped it for me. Well Noriko-san said that we can create kawaii and sexy look by changing the way we draw our eyebrow shape. And this is something I am looking forward to learn!

She said now Japanese eyebrow trend is everyone is having kawaii eyebrow shape and in order to eyebrow shape, the arch of the eyebrow must be drawn in between the end of the eyeball and end of the eyelid ( as circled in red above). And to have sexy & mature look, just move the arch towards the end of the eyelid.

This is an after picture of Yukiko's eyebrow.

And if at all you don't know how to draw the eyebrow, then just opt for the K-Palette Real Lasting Eyebrow Mascara (RM42.90) where this is super easy to use as you can just comb through your eyelashes to fill in the gap. It comes in 2 colours, Camel Brown & Natural Brown.

K-Palette Real Lasting Eyebrow Mascara is an innovative brush which is designed to sculpt our eyebrow hair for a perfect finish and create a natural looking.

It's strong resistant to water, perspiration and sebum. And its claimed to be long lasting and easy to be removed with lukewarm water.

Noriko-san also showed us K-Palette Real Lasting Eyebrow Pencil 24H (49.90), where it comes with 3 colours Camel Brown, Natural Brown & Grayish Brown. This is also strong resistant to water, perspiration and sebum as well.

And yes finally she showed us the K-Palette 1 Day Tattoo Real Lasting Eyeliner 24H (RM59.90) which comes in 2 shade, one is super black another is deep black.

This K-Palette 1 Day Tattoo Real Lasting Eyeliner comes in long lasting polymer forms, promise smudge-free resistant to water, perspiration & sebum.

It's important for me to make sure the eyeliner promises what it says, i.e waterproof & smudge proof and I did a test to find out!

As you can see the eyeliner is really water resistant but when I try to rub it (considering sometimes I rub my eyes), the colour did come off a bit but it did not smudge horribly. And looking at the both tests, it passed my standard of requirement :) And I read that e K-Palette 1 Day Tattoo Real Lasting Eyeliner can be easily removed by lukewarm water.

This K-Palette 1Day Lash Mascara has been newly launhed in Japan & not yet available in Malaysia. I hope to try this when it is launched in Malaysia!

Look at the brush head!

The slight curve V shape mascara will give volumising effect while the thin brush shape will gives lengtening effect. is used.

Yukiko's beautiful eye makeup

Before & after picture of Yukiko. I like how the Noriko-san made a natural makeup that flatters Yukiko's features, simply beautifu especially the eyes makeup!

So at the event, I took the opportunity to had a makeover by Noriko Imura!

I absolutely love the eyes makeup, very natural and the concealer looked pretty awesome in concealing my very serious dark eyes circle.

My full look after makeover - this is so far one of my favourite makeover!

Finally a group pics of bloggers with Noriko Imura!

Overall, I am glad to attend this workshop as I found out K-Palette has a few good products that I'm looking forward to try such as the Kuma Concealer, 2Way Eyebrow, Eyebrow Mascara & 1Day Lash Mascara besides its best selling 1-Day Tattoo Eyeliner. It was really an intereting & educational workshop eventhough Noriko don't really speak English but all thanks to the translator that the company has arranged for us, she translated each steps clearly :)

Just to let you all know, K-Palette brand focuses on eye makeup products only and at this moment in Malaysia, we have Eyeliner, Eyebrow & Concealer and the mascara which has been newly launched in Japan will be available soon in Malaysia!
