DIY Makeup?

It's not a secret that I love make-up. Although there are days that I'm too lazy to be beautiful, a week wouldn't go by without me applying full make-up.

Last Saturday, I attended my fiance's sister's wedding. Complicated. Okay, my future sister-in-law. I was a bridesmaid and I did my own make-up.

Before, I thought of doing my own make-up, but I changed my mind. But after seeing my face after I was finished with applying a dozen products on it, I thought,

Not Bad!

Here are some pictures:

What I used--

Face:

James Cooper foundation in 003 (concealer)

MAC Studiofix Liquid Foundation in NC40 (foundation)

Fanny Serrano 2-way Cake (setting powder)

Dollface Cosmetics Contour & Highlight palette (contour and highlight)

Nichido Multiple Stick in South Beach (cream blush)

Nars Super Orgasm (blush)

Eyebrows:

In2It Brow Powder 

Etude House Automatic Brow Liner

MAC Brow Set in Girl Boy

Eyes:

ELF Eye Primer

Urban Decay Naked Palette 1

Nichido Liquid Eyeliner

HBC False Eyelashes

Lash glue

Maybelline The Falsies Mascara

Nichido Spot Concealer (used as eyeliner!)

Lips:

Burt's Bees Lip Balm

Nichido Lip Liner in Rosette

Careline Lip Gloss in 207

It took me around 30 minutes to do my make-up!

Pabago bago ng hair much?

Me and my sister (she did her own make-up rin)

with instagram filter na! Haha!

So what are the pros and cons?

Pros:

-I will save as much as 15k!!!

-Memorize ko mukha ko and I know what features to highlight and features to improve, like my nose. Haha! 

-I will use my own make-up! So sureness sa color na hindi magmukhang floating head ako. LOL! 

-Doing my own make-up for the day would be memorable and meaningful. Gary knows how much I love make-up and to do it on our big day would be significant kase papagandahin ko yung sarili ko for him (well, maganda naman na ko! Hahaha!)

Cons:

-Panic mode! What if sa sobrang emotional ko, di ko magawa my own make-up, who would rescue me?

Those are some pros and cons. I also have some few things noted:

-Hire a hair stylist to do my hair. 

-Teach my sister how to do Gary's make-up so on the day she'll be the one to do it.

-Buy more make-up!!!

-Have eyelash extensions (as per Joed's advice! Magiging hassle free na!)

-More practice!

What do you think?

Hihi! I'm excited and thrilled! Pero mga 70% sure pa lang ako... :/

How-to: DIY Save-the-Date/Monogram Done in 5 minutes

Hello! I just wanted to share how easy-peasy it is to DIY a monogram. This isn't our final monogram yet, I just wanted to show you how I'll make one. Haha!

What you need:

1. A picture with your preferred border/background, for mine, I used this: 

2. Picasa

3. Font (I used Soymilk)

4. Inspiration :)

Step 1: Open the picture of your border using Picasa.

Step 2: Crop the picture if you want to (had to crop mine because of the white empty space at the top)

                         

Step 3: Insert text.

Step 4: Change the font to your desired style and color. To change the color of the font, I used the color dropper tool, and pointed at that cute pink tulip using the color dropper

 Step 5: Resize and rotate as preferred!

Step 6. You can leave it at that (picture above). But I decided to add our wedding date as well by repeating steps 3, 4, 5. Press Ctrl + S and you're done!!! :)
