My Everyday Makeup

Hey everyone!

(In the process of trying to crank out more posts >_<)

So here's another tutorial I made ^_^ not really a tutorial cuz really.... there isn't anything new that you can't find on Youtube XD

But anyway, this was mostly what I wore to work for the last.... 6 months or so? (minus my vacation in Taiwan) XD Of course it doesn't have to be for work. Just something simple and neutral and easy to do XD

I'm really sorry about the lighting of the video... I know the color was really washed out. I didn't realize the mirror that I set in front of me was reflecting light and casting a glare on my face =T



My foundation routine has kind of changed since I made this video, cuz it's been sweltering hot here so applying full face of foundation is starting to feel quite heavy. I will do an update on my foundation routine? Yes? No? Don't care? XD

As always, thank you guys for taking the time to read and watch the video ^_^

Makeup for Beginners

Hello everyone!

Sorry for haven't been posting for so long! (Not that anyone's waiting for me or anything XD) But thanks for some lovely bloggers who cared about my absence ^_^ Just been busy. I do want to crank out a few more posts before I go on my MIA. So here's a tutorial I had been planning for a while!

These are just my suggestions on getting started with makeup. For beginners, I am assuming no experience, and have no tools whatsoever. So I tried to make the tutorial with minimal tools or with tools that are easy to access and cheap (not necessarily products themselves are cheap-- I just stuck with products that have worked for me). Obviously if you're not a newbie feel free to skip. If you're a newbie, feel free to skip too if you're not interested in m opinion ╮(￣▽￣)╭Made this especially for a friend =D


Please watch in HD!

Hope some of you found it helpful! My first voice-over tutorial XD cuz I can never shut up and I want to make sure this video is short. And yes, I know I sounded like I was reading off a script. It's because I WAS XD I freaking wrote a scrip for this video XDXDXD 
Sorry there are some odd editing going on... I'm definitely a noob when it comes to video-editing XD TOOK ME FOREVER to condense the vid!

And thank you to the ppl who subscribed to me on Youtube! I'm honestly ASTONISHED that ppl would even want to stay tuned to my videos O_O All my other videos are unlisted except for this one. Wasn't really planning to go public with my videos (cuz I'm honestly scared of Youtube =_=) but since this one doesn't contain any copy-righted material, why not XD so you subscribers can see this video in your subscription box XD wow that's so weird. lol. Okay gonna stop now.

Have a great weekend guys ^_^

Straight bangs transformation-- Straight bangs for round face!

Hello hello beautifuls!

OMG. GUESS WHAT. After careful consideration XD I decided to cut my bangs. HAHAHA omg. I know I said I didn't want bangs anymore, but being bang-less is just not a good look for me (hair looks really flat). And since I don't really want to spend money at the salon yet (although I really want a haircut cuz my layers have grown out!) I decided to give myself a little makeover ^_^ (that ought to put off my salon trip for a little while XD)

So yeah... straight bangs. They look good in photography, but straight bangs really isn't the best style for me considering my body proportions and height. Since straight bangs do take some height off me (basically the illusion of more height provided by the forehead) and I look really short and stout with straight bangs XD oh well. It will grow out soon enough so I'm not worried.

In my video I'm gonna explain how I cut my straight bangs, catered especially for girls like me who have round face, and who are terrified of getting straight bangs because they might make your face look rounder. This is completely avoidable, if you follow some basic rules ^_^ ONE basic rule, actually.

I did write a post about getting straight bangs a very long time ago. Same principle applies. If you're curious, read it here. But I figured it's more clear to see how it's done.

Before I cut my bangs, I was so sick of my heavy, over-long bangs hanging around my face like a freaking curtain, that I kept wearing it up


LOL Boba


My hair is finally long enough that I could put it up in a bun thing

Okay now enough of rambling, let's get on with the video!


Sorry I kept playing the same music over and over again XD I was too lazy to pick a new song and at the same time I thought all the silence in the video is kind of boring XD And yes you guys had no idea I was really nervous whilst making this film... I never cut my hair in front of anybody, ESPECIALLY under time pressure for the length of the video >_< hahah.

And remember, you can always go back to trim/fix it after ^_^ I did snip off more stray hairs the next day (cut it two days ago).

Hope some of you find it helpful!
