FOTD: Cat Eyes Purple Liner




I've been wanting to buy color eyeliners since I saw this FOTD by a friend of mine, Shelley from the Female Daily Forum, click this to check out her Youtube channel. But you see, being a broke college student who is trying it out again for another college entrance test doesn't really give me the chance to save up and buy even the cheapest color eyeliners. I've been targeting ELF Shimmer Eyeliner Pencil, they're affordable and have some beautiful colors. But for now I can't even buy them :'(

So, another friend from the Forum, I dunno what's her name, I've been calling her her ID, which is Pinkyrose. She read somewhere that you can mix contact lenses solution with eyeshadow on your liner brush, and voila, you have color eyeliners! This info is very helpful because it helps the penniless me to experiment. And the result is magical.

Here's what I came up with.



excuse my messy eyebrows

Eyes:
Nonna Eyeshadow Palette (ivory, light brown, peach, white)
88 Ultrashimmer Eyeshadow Palette (dark blueish purple, light purple)
My Darling Liquid Eyeliner
Maybelline The Magnum Mascara
Inez Eyeliner Pencil in White
Inez Eyebrow Pencil in Dark Brown

Lips:
Maybeline Watershine Pure in P12

Face:
Inez Precious Powdery Cake in Deep Peach
Nonna Blush Palette (orange, peachy pink)
Nonna Eyeshadow Palette (ivory)


How I did it:

Eyes: I didn't put any base for this look. So I drew a white line with Inez Eyeliner Pencil in Whitefrom the outer corner of my eyes outwards. I did this to make a limitation so when I drew the cat eyes liner it would be more precise. First I put the ivory color from the Nonna Eyeshadow Palette on my lids. Then using blending brush, I put the light brown color from the same palette on my crease and blended it in. After that I put the peach color on my browbone as highlight. Then I drew the cat eyes liner with My Darling Eyeliner Liquid. Now, the fun part. I dipped my small round liner brush into the contact lenses solution. Then after drying it a little bit, I put it in light purple eyeshadow from the 88 Ultrashimmer Palette. After that I drew another line using that color on the top of the black cat eyes line on my eyes. I cleaned the same brush, and did the same thing with the dark blueish purple from the same palette. I drew the line on my waterline and lowerlash line, and on the outer corner, I pulled the line a bit downwards so the white line I drew earlier would be in between the black liner and the dark blueish purple liner. I put white eyeshadow from the Nonna Palette on the top of the white liner. I put Maybelline The Magnum Mascara on my lashes and drew my eyebrow with Inez Eyebrow Pencil in Dark Brown, and I was done with my eyes.

Lips:
I just put on the Maybelline Watershine Pure in P12 on my lips.

Face:
I tapped some Inez Precious Powdery Cake in Deep Peach on my whole face. I applied the orange blush from Nonna Blush Palette on the apple of my cheeks then on my cheek bone I applied the peachy pink from the same palette.

FOTD: Coral Lips + Review: Revlon Colourstay Mineral Mousse Foundation


Something in my head told me to do an FOTD but somehow I was just not in the mood. When your head and your heart are not synchronized, whatever you do will end up messy. Just like this FOTD.


See my expression? I'm ready to eat a lion. LOL. But seriously, I messed the make up. The eyeliners are not even on both eyes. The eyeshadow is not blended. The only good thing is the foundation. I just got Revlon Colourstay Mineral Mousse Foundation, my shade is 050. And it actually matches my skintone perfectly.

Eyes:
Aubeau Eyeshadow Cream
Nonna Eyeshadow Palette (Light brown)
Revlon Satin Eyeshadow in Polished Brown
My Darling Eyeliner in Black
Maybelline The Magnum Mascara
Inez Eyeliner Pencil in White
Inez Eyebrow Pencil in Dark Brown

Lips:
Wardah Lip Palette (No. 4) mixed with NYX Round Lipstick in Honey

Face:
Revlon Colourstay Mineral Mousse Foundation in Light Medium
Inez Precious Powdery Cake in Deep Peach
Revlon Satin Eyeshadow in Polished Brown (for shading)
Nonna Blush Palette

The lips are actually not that soft looking, it's actually more tacky and gonjreng. I wanted a coral pink but I only got coral red so I mixed in with NYX Honey.

Because it's an easy and failed look, I won't write the How to.

Here's the review. The texture of this foundation is mousse, so it's not liquid, yet it's not creamy. So far no breakouts. I have pros and cons about this foundation.

Pros:
The mousse texture makes it more blendable
Great oil control
Perfect match with my skintone
Good looking package

Cons:
Sheer coverage
Have a funny smell
Kinda pricey (135 IDR for 30 mL.)

p.s. I really have tight budget because I'm a college student and still have no job and still relying on allowance XD

I find this foundation a perfect match with my Inez Precious Powdery Cake. I put the mineral mousse first then the powdery cake and the result is amazing. The coverage is so great, but it doesn't feel like I'm wearing heavy make up. The powdery cake alone has good coverage but still it can't cover my pimple scar on my face, and the mineral mousse alone doesn't make any difference. And the oil control is amazing too! I wore this one day and my t-zone was not as oily as usual. I have to admit I was kinda disappointed with this product, but now I love it so much! It's just how you combine it with. The correct combination will result perfect finish.

Repurchase? Um, I dunno. I'm not that experienced with foundation. I still have to try another brand until I find my holy grail. But I may repurchase :)
