2 Holiday Makeup Looks ~ Red 'Vs' Coral

Merry Christmas, Everyone!

This was supposed to be up yesterday, but we were busy, and I was exhausted by evening. So I decided to just sit back and do nothing..... listen to  Last Christmas & All I Want For Christmas Is You....and wait for Christmas Eve!

I couldn't decide which lippie color I wanted to wear, so I wore 2. You know, I don't usually smile wide in my FOTD's because I always end up looking too enthu... like, too much teeth.... sometimes too goofy. But a Holiday/Christmas-themed look is an exception =D

MAC Angel Lipstick ~ Look & Review

Apart from Shaggy's insanely popular song, 'Angel' makes me think of a story a college roommate told me about that still makes me LOL to this day. A guy (admirer) had handwritten a love letter to her girlfriend:

"Blah.... blah..... blah........

...... You are my angle."

I think it's actually one of the most misspelled words in the English language. 

Sometime this year, I saw In Facebook:

• Proud mother put up photo of her kid with caption: "My little angle." 
• Status of some girl: "Treat me like an angle, and I'll show you what heaven is like."

Uhm, wrong angle, dudes! 

Coming to topic in hand, MAC Angel. One of MAC best selling lipsticks. I'll start with the look I did with it.

 

Makeup For Passport Photo & Tips

I got a new Passport photo taken recently, and thought I'd show it to you all, although I might regret it =) Now I'm not claiming that I'm a 'pro' at good passport photos. I'll never be, and I've made peace with that. But I have learnt from past mistakes, and this time it turned out a lot better than all of my previous photos.

I look at an old Passport Photo and this is what I think:

• Hair too limp & flat (I went to the studio with just-washed-partly-wet hair), so face looks too big, nose & cheekbones too sharp.
• Expression looks too mean & nostrils flaring too much.
• Lips too glossy.
• Eyes too dark. You shouldn't have overdone the black kohl.
• Big silver hoop earrings? Really?!
• White shirt with white background? Sigh.
• You look too MADE-UP! It's a struggling studio that you'll find out had shut down in 2012, not a cocktail party!

Now let's talk about my new photo. First things first, the make-up! It's supposed to look subtle, and we tried our best.

Testing Testing Revlon Photoready Foundation

Heya, just a quick FOTD to show you how the Revlon PhotoReady Foundation looks with flash photography.

I got it in Medium Beige #006

It's a medium to heavy coverage foundation that I personally think most people would either like or hate, but not love.

Revlon Photoready Foundation Medium Beige

You can definitely see the shimmer there

As you can see, the shimmer is not too obvious on my face. But I should tell you that when I faced the sun directly, I looked like a disco ball, almost like how Edward Cullen looked when the sun hit him in Twilight =D. 

Well, oh-kay, I exaggerated a little bit, but almost sounds bad enough, doesn't it?

So, I wouldn't wear in the daytime. Anymore.

Other products used:

Benefit Matterial girl Setting Powder to set foundation

Smashbox O-Glow lightly on cheeks

Eyes ~ Random eyeshadows (I know I should stop with the randomness!), MAC Pearlglide Intense Eyeliner in Petrol Blue, IN2IT Gel Liner Pencil in Very Black to tightline upper lashline (Review Here ), Kate Mascara base & Maybelline Colossal Volume Express Mascara on Lashes

Lips~ Maybelline Watershine Pure Lipstick in P21

I can't say whether I like the Photoready or not at this time. Will let you after I've used it a few more times.

Have a nice weekend everybody! ;)
