MY FAVORITE OF MY FAVORITES

今日其實係要同大家介紹一支真係超級好用ge底霜!
NARS  Pure Radiant Tinted Moisturizer
我在上幾個post已經提及過這支moisturizer
有幾位朋友都對佢好有興趣
而佢係 Oil-Free, 同埋加上SPF 30 +++
我已經完全用左佢做BB Cream :)

雖然由今日起呢支嘢係L'afayette Studio係已經有得賣,
不過希望大家唔會以commercial ge目光去睇呢一篇entry :)
因為我都係真心推介給大家的 :D

NARS其實一直係我最鍾意嘅化妝品牌其中之一,
因為NARS於打造光感肌(Radiant Glowing Skin)方面真係一直都做得咁好
而今年 2013 RUNWAY真係有好多好多makeup artists 都選用左NARS ge products去打做runway上models們經典的"月光肌"

而且呢支最最最吸引我嘅地方就係: 佢嘅透光formula係會令你五官望落去變得更立體!
當有光照到塊面上,呢支底霜嘅微光粒粒就會令面部骨骼望落去更突出 :D
平時都會有人偶爾同我講: 你輪廓好靚呀!
我都只係可以答: 我輪廓一d都唔靚,只係化妝神奇! 
因為我本來就係面扁扁嘅女仔:(


Anyway,總言之我自己真係好鍾意好鍾意呢一支Pure Radiant Tinted Moisturizer la >< 


質地好水潤,話名係moisturizer ar ma :p


右邊係未Blend勻嘅效果,
見到有微光效果嗎?





心血來潮扮下韓妹
用的就是NARS的這支 :)
為的就是打做glowing skin :)
還加了粗眼線 xD
(注意: 我只用了呢支moisturizer 同遮瑕, 如果覺得coverage唔夠ge朋友可以拍上好輕ge碎粉, 而呢支Moisturizer 係絕對絕對令你妝更貼服!
我好朋友Rebecca一向都上粉底時會有浮粉情況出現,
但係經我極力推介後佢買左一支黎用,佢都超級滿意佢嘅貼服度光感)








如果大家鍾意ge話我下次都可以做呢一個韓妹妝tutorial :D

介紹完畢! 希望大家鍾意 <3

Orange Spring/Summer Refreshing Look

其實要用心寫一個blog真係唔容易
每個blog entry都可能要花幾個鐘時間去整理
加上由尋日開始有好多人反映I should make the blog bilingual (中文+英文)
所以真係唔俾心機and耐性係唔得ga!
不過,我都係好開心好樂意去做ge :D

It's never easy to manage a blog well!
and obviously it takes so much time, sometimes it can take like several hours just for writing a single blog entry. But...you know :p no matter what I am still extremely willing to devote my time in doing this exciting job.
------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
 今天介紹的是2013 Spring Refreshing Look
係2013 Spring Fashion Runway 真係見到好好橙色系嘅妝容
望落去models們嘅臉上有種好淡好清新嘅感覺
然後我就想試一試這種色調的妝啦 <3
各位美女們不妨試多少少不同嘅色系
最好就係唔好每日都大地色系又或者係煙燻妝

只要化得適當自然,好多color其實都係好易wear到 :)



Today I am going to introduce a refreshing look for this spring and summer.
Just by reviewing and browsing so many runway fashion runway makeup from the 2013 S/S collection, you may have already noticed the color ORANGE was a 'must' for the makeup trend in this spring and summer.
With the radiance blending with the soft-toned orange, it gives a brightening look on your face and a refreshing image.
It's way better than just wearing smoky eyes every day!
Come on! It's summertime!

Avène -Thermal Spring Water (@L'afayette)

My all-time favorite

令你妝容更貼服持久
還有它是防敏感的
It hydrates and clams your skin 
before starting your makeup.  And it definitely let your makeup stay longer!



 The Face Shop 冰花精華 (@L'afayette)
一d都唔油,擦上去好水潤,可以令你皮膚變光,係化glowing skin絕對要有嘅精華 :)
而且價值超級便宜,呢支可能已經係我用嘅第10支

This Korean serum is used to brighten your skin to achieve a glowing look.
And most importantly, it's totally inexpensive!
Probably the one I am using today is my 10th bottle, I can't remember exactly :p

It's a no-oil formulated serum

搽上面後的光澤感
My skin was instantly brightened

 Etude House 嘅BB Cream相信有好多人都用過,
但係呢款coverage太強,會令底妝變得好厚
所以我mix左比較水潤嘅 Dr.G Protection Cream
效果會好好多
These are the other two Korean Products -- Etude House BB cream & Dr.G Multi Protection Cream
Because of their great coverage,
they combine to create a flawless skin even if you give up using any other foundation.
And with it's excellent UVA/UVB protection, it prevents your skin from weathering.

 Blending...
 

 搽BB cream最好嘅方法其實只有一種
要令底妝更貼薄就只有不停拍打+按壓
利好手掌溫度將BB Cream溶開
千其唔好懶而大肆將BB cream推開!

The best way to apply BB Cream onto your skin: 
Use your finger tips and plams to pat and press the Cream onto your face until it melts thoroughly into your skin
Do not blend it over your face or your face will give an unnatural look.
平日我會在上妝前半小時貼上雙眼皮膠,
到眼妝部分時再撕下
這樣雙眼皮便會自然加深

 化妝途中小莉又突然衝到屋內...
an unexpected visitor who intruded into my house

 先再手背上試了兩種不同的橙色
然後決定用右邊那個比較鮮艷的橙色
Trying different colors on the back of your hands is an important step for testing out the best color for your look 
Finally I chose the more vivid orange on the right over the left one :)

這次在化底色時我是沒用任何化妝掃
因為用手指會令橙色大範圍地散開,不會有一堆橙色集中在眼上很不自然,
這是我個人化些比較難wear的顏色的小秘訣哦 :p
不要忘掉下眼簾,印上很小很小的橙色就好了

my little advice: using your finger tips for applying any color if the color is hard to handle,
especially for most of the Asians :)
Just randomly spread the color all over you upper eye areas.

 Using Naked Eyeshadow Palette again, I chose the purple-toned color -- Hustle in order to give some definition to the eyes or my eyes can look drowsy and pale.

 將暗紫色""到上眼簾,以向前向後的手法推開,不要令顏色太過集中!


 塗上一層"好像幾乎沒塗"的mascara
因為又長又濃密的眼睫毛是會破壞今次妝容refreshing的特點

Apply a very thin layer of mascara is far more than enough:p
Don't screw your refreshing look by creating some heavy, long and curly lashes!


Close-up

 大家應該知道面頰下有一個微凹的位置吧
在那邊向上方擦上陰影粉
淡淡的暗啡橙色是最好不過了

Contour your face by applying bronzer under your cheekbones.
I strongly recommend using a soft contour color like the orange-brown.


 finished coutouring
接著就用較粉色系的胭脂
這個是早前於Stylenanda購入的胭脂掃,很方便,可以隨身攜帶
 Using a pinky color for brushing 
This is a carrying brush I got from Stylenanda.

 把胭脂以打圓圈的方法掃在面頰上
打圓圈的 手法會令你面部變得飽和一些
跟這次色調的妝容很配合

Apply the brushing directly on you cheeks in a circular movement.
It enriches your whole look without over-contouring your bone structures.

 Close-Up

唇色就唔好再用橙色系了
用一些牛奶粉色會令增添一些血色
中和翻你上半塊面嘅全橙色

This time I chose a milky super pink lip gloss 
By applying this pink color it balances my makeup against the whole orange look

 See? Pinky lips can match your orange eye shadow in an unexpected way :D

 把頭髮放下..
Putting down m hair..
我相信呢個夏天以呢個Refreshing Look示人會遠比化 Smoky Eyes 嘅女仔更吸引 xD
你地認為呢? :p  S

 The Final Look! Hope you guys enjoy this tutorial <3


 hard-working Becca! haha naughty me!
See you!

RACHEL PURE LOOK


Special Thanks to my beautiful friend -- RACHEL SECHE

上個禮拜我邀請好當我的model 了^^
她是位美美的 French mixed girl哦
今次Makeup Theme是 INTACT SKIN
也就是零瑕疵肌膚


Before Makeup



NARS 新推出的 Pure Radiant Tinted Moisturizer
這款底霜是我最近最最最喜愛用的
真的超級好用!
因為我很不喜歡厚粉的感覺,而NARS的這款底霜已經有一定的遮瑕度,
更加吸引的是它主要用來打造Radiant Glowing Skin 

說到Glowing Skin,就在這邊解釋一下吧
Radiance(光澤)是很多Professional Makeup Artists 在化妝時都會很強調的一個要素
平日有每季留意Fashion Runway的朋友應該都會留意到每一位Model的面妝都是很光很滑,
(尤其是在一些刻意打亮的位置,如T字位臉頰下巴突出的地方)
這就是為了突出每位Model的面部輪廓
同時令面部達到人的皮膚最自然的狀態

所以大家化妝時千萬要避免"打厚粉"
而我自己化妝時最追求最重要的就是這種 Radiance


After applying NARS Pure Radiant Tinted Moisturizer

see you next time!
