Make up Tutorial : Smoky Eyes with Nude Lips

"Make up tutorial Video at the end of this post"

• Smoky eye make up are the most basic type of eye make up as every girl out there is bound to try it on quite often in her life.

• It differs slightly from Gothic Make up, it is a more subtle and elegant technique compared to the dramatic and bold Gothic Make up.
• Smoky eyes can really draw attention to yourself, especially if you are in a photo among your friends. Those that look at the photos will be drawn straight to you!
  
• It is definitely not for the faint hearted.. but of course, you can tone it down to make it suit yourself more.
  
  
• Here are some photos of really nice smoky eyes :
• 
  
  
• It is not that hard to achieve their look. You just need 3 shades of any colour from light to a dark colour(close to black) and the finishing look is the touch of a black liquid eyeliner.
• You MUST remember to go easy on your lower lid, or it will be too much resulting in a gothic look or worse, a punching bag look!
• 
  
• See how easy it is to slip into the gothic look just by overdoing the lower lid?
• So, remember if you are attempting this look, only apply eyeliner on the lower lid + a weeeeeee bit of the darkest shade at the corner.
  
  
• One thing fun about smoky eyes is that you can define your eyes into interesting shapes.
  You can attempt the cat eye look. or the doe eye look to make your eyes look bigger. or you can do a minimal smoky eye look by just using 3 shades of eyeliner, instead of eyeshadow.
  
  What about nude lips?
• If you look at the photos above, the gothic looks are bold and dramatic. Smoky eyes + Dark lips. Wow.
  The smoky eyes one however, creates a balance of focus on the face. Is the focus on your eyes or your lips now? or is it on the entire face?
• It is one of the make up rules to never draw attention to more than one feature of your face.
  
• Therefore, using a nude coloured lipstick to compliment your smoky eyes can really draw attention to your eyes while keeping everything neat and well groomed.
  
  
• Nude lips involves two steps, if you just apply the lipstick you may find that your lips are not properly defined and you look as if there is a blank space replacing your mouth!
• So you need a nude lipliner, nude lipstick and also a gloss to pull off the look.
• You start with the nude lipliner, making sure your lips are well defined. Then you fill in with the lipstick and lastly, the gloss to make sure your lips are not one. flat. colour.

The easy steps to achieve this look is in this video below.

Book : The Time Traveler's Wife

We present to you the BEST romance book of eternity.

The Time Traveler's Wife by Audrey Niffenegger

Surely you must have heard of it!!??

First of all, I am not a fan of romance books..
but this book blows my mind away.. and I know that you will love it!

Let us summarize it for you... this man, he had a disease that causes himself to teleport to another time unwillingly, without warning each time. So sometimes he is 28 years old in the year where he is just 5 years old.
and he fell in love. only that the whole love story is reversed, or mixed up.

The girl met him when she is 5 and he is 40. He tells her that in the future she will be his wife. and thus the whole story is reversed, and told beautifully by Audrey.

The book starts and have us confused. (We are being honest) but once we grasp its concept in like 20 pages, we can't stop reading. The characters are so realistic and down to earth that anyone can relate to them. Isn't it every girl's dream to have an extra special relationship, albeit with a superhero or with a genius or in this case: a time traveller?

If you don't believe us, just google it.. look at all the rave reviews about this book!

We are so happy that New Line Cinema has bought the rights to this movie.. it will star Eric Bana and Rachel McAdams!! We can't wait!!! Pray, pray pray that the adaptation of this movie is gonna be nothing short of amazing... *prays*

Try this book, you will fall deeply in love with both the characters as we did. It is so touching, ... we are sorry.. but.. this book beat Nicolas Spark's books anytime of the day. Seriously. Read this book.

Get it here!

Curl your hair : Basics

So you've got a hot curler to curl your hair, but you have no clue what to do to achieve the look that you want. After all, isn't it just about rolling your hair in the barrel?

Look no further, BlushBerry provides you with all the answers that you want!

Follow these easy steps to get the hairstyle that you want!
1. Know your Hair Curler
2. Understand the Basics of Hair Curling
3. Create the Hair Style that you want



1. Know your Hair Curler

Is your hair curler ceramic?



Does your Hair Curler looks like this and have a shiny surface? If it does, it is a normal iron curler. These type are easier to use, as they have higher temperature and curls your hair faster.



If your hair curler looks like this and have a matte surface, it is a ceramic hair curler. These type are healthier to use, as they have lower temperature but they also take longer to curl your hair


How big is the barrel?
First of all, let me say that any barrel can create curls that are bigger size compared to the barrel.

Let me further illustrate.


You can see 3 types of barrel size in the picture above, the smallest size can create curls as small as its size and any curls bigger than its size too.
but.
the largest barrel size you see above can only create curls as small as its size and any curls bigger. It cannot create curls smaller than the barrel itself.

Usually, people go for the small ones for more flexibility in creating more styles. The big ones are for creating very loose waves or volume in your hair.

I personally recommend any Babyliss brand. They are easy to use, with temperature choices and they curl your hair faster, leaving a healthy shine on your curls too! I do not use the ceramic one cuz they are very slow....... it can really put a toll on your hairstyling duration.

You can get the curler by clicking on the link above.

There are only 3 steps in hair curling. Using these 3 steps, you can create any look you want!

1. Curl

• Inward
• Outward
  

2. Hold

• Horizontal
• Vertical
• Diagonal
  

3. Release

I have created a video tutorial to illustrate these steps.
