Glam Purple

2 years ago I was more into bolder, striking, attention-getting eyeshadows.
I was so influenced by Panacea and Monroemisfit

that I even gave away my neutrals and smokey eyeshadows.

My taste for makeup evolves every year. I'm so fickle minded as well.

 Now I'm into smokey browns and thick heavy winged eyeliners and cat eyes.

I have here some pictures from 2008.

I love looking back at my looks and evaluating if it's a yay or nay after a few years.

In this picture I attended a company christmas party.

The theme was just smart casual but since I'm a rule breaker I went for rockstar look. lol

Katy Perry for Hello Kitty Inspired Look

It's an old post, around 2009 when I was inspired by this look, so copied my blog I made from myspace and posted it here so I can share it with everyone.

I'm not a Katy Perry fan,
but I was astonished when I accidentally discovered a picture of her
wowing the red carpet wearing a mac hello kitty inspired corset matched with
wet leggings and heeled gladiator.

But I swooned with envy when I saw her makeup!
It was again inspired from the mac hello kitty collection
and what can I say? she rocked it!

I just have one thing in mind, of course... to imitate it.
"I'll wear it on Saturday!!"

Ok enough for now, here's my mediocre take:

(forgive me for the terrible watermark, i have to do this for my own protection)

(people got sticky hands these days)

and the picture quality sucks, coz i just used my phone camera

Dollface 15 concealer palette

Maybelline Angel Fit powder foundation

L'oreal Airwear breathable powder foundation in Cream

EYES:

Since the corset was impossible, I tried to match the look with the kitty

accessories I could possibly find.

Necklace was from Avon's Hello Kitty Collection

The Britney Era (get her makeup look)

Did you know Britney has an interview with make-up artist before hiring them?
Her make-up artist say she lets them be creative,
but don't believe she doesn't have any input.
 She is very aware of how important it is that her make-up goes with her personality.
Plus the people she chooses will spend hours
(2 hours for videos or photo shoots + 1 hour for hair)
and even travel with her,
so imagine how close they get to be!

Here's a list of some great make-up artist n where they've worked with her,
and the exact makeups they used plus some tips.
 L'Oreal's makeup pro, Collier Strong,
who has made up some of the world's most famous faces,
explains Brit's "Britney Era" look.
"Playing up the eyes is crucial for a sultry, sex goddess look.
In the videos for her 'Overprotected', and 'Slave 4 U',
 makeup artists created the ultimate smoky eye by blending brown shadows
layered with black eyeliner, and long, lush black lashes.
The rest of her face is kept neutral but sexy,
 with a natural flush-colored shimmer blush,
and a glossy nude/pink lip."
