Keira Knightley bad Photoshop

• While researching for our new post we came across something disturbing.

First of all, we all know that Keira Knightley is flat. We love her for who she is, regardless but some people are just so sick.

Look what they did below :

It is very obvious that they found a picture of a blondie (Keira was never blond. or had short bangs.)
They took this photo, rub off the face and paste Keira's on top.
Look at the overflooding breasts.
What a disgrace.

Make Up Looks : Pigment Set

• Hey girls.. thank you to all of you who bought the pigment set!
• As a token of appreciation, below are a few looks I did to inspire yall!!
• It is still not too late for those who want to buy the pigment set.
• Only going for RM 80. A whole pallete of eyeshadow, blusher and shimmer for grabs.
  
  
  

This is the colour codes for all the looks below.. Enjoy!!

Oh. In case any of you is wondering. The fake eyelashes I am wearing is from Inouvi.
Their eyelashes is soft and VERY natural.
I bought the one that comes with 4 short lashes.. They are not maximum length lashes, instead this lashes only encompass the 3rd half of your lash line.

Ocean's Wine..
A tropical look.. suitable for a sunny day stroll on the beach or outdoor shopping..
Pair this with colourful apparel or a hot bikini.

A subtle smokey eye make up that emphasizes the crease of your eyelid.
Not a heavy make up look.
Can be for day or night.. Just use more colours for the night out.
Its important to add some highlight shimmer in the middle to give your eyes a 3D look.
Pair this with metallic coloured clothings like bronze, silver or gold.

Putting too much. hehe. couldn't resist. I like it anyway..
Remember to go easy on the eyeliner if you try this. Heavy coloured lids should be emphasized with nice curly lashes.
Pair this look with a single coloured attire. (all black/all white) Try not to have many colours in your apparel or you will look like a paint pot instead of a treasure pot!

Gothic MakeUp.. for rainy and moody days..
Also for days when you have no time to spend on makeup.
Lid your eyes with eyeliner. Lots of them.
Go easy on your lips.. nude or light glossy lips is nice.
Pretty girls : Nice when paired with caps/beanies/hats with sports apparel
Gothics : What are you waiting for? Go for all black with white strips. The whole thang baby!!!

Looks good on fair people.. I am quite tanned.. can't really pull off this look.
try this if you are fair and bold.
Will make your eyes pop and snatch the attention away from your other prettier friends. ahem.
Looks good when paired with corporate clothings, Pointy skyscraper heels please!

A very soft and feminine look for the ladies..
Bring in your laces and transparent soft scarves!
Going to a wedding? Try this!
Don't wear this with colourful clothings.. Whites and beiges and neutrals looks nice with this.

For a cocktail pool party!
Pair this with slinky sexy outfits that shimmers and shines!
Glossy juicy lips please!
Lots of bronzes too... let your hair loose!

For the night over at your best girlfriend's house.
Can't get clothes to fit you? Wear garb with this makeup and you will still look good!
Old singlet? Oversized pjs? Torn jeans?
Its alright as long as you mesmerize those around you with these eyes!

MakeUp Phobia? Try the nude look.
Good for the famous and respected who does not want to have adventurous makeups.
Pair this with anything and still look classy.
Wear some accessories to replace the lack of colours in your look!
Remember to use lots of concealers and groom your brows.
Plain lips with lip balm together with chunky earrings should do it!


Thanks for reading!

Photoshop Quickie Part 4 : Plastic Surgery

• The last 3 lessons we learnt about correcting contrasts and colour, erasing pimples and moles, and last week we learn how to get smooth skin..
• This week we are going to teach you the greatest secret. If you feel that you are too fat, dream no more. No breasts? We can help you.
• But.
• But
• Please. Do not OVERDO IT. Minor changes are ok.. but if you overdo it you can turn the whole table on yourself.
  
  
• You see, a plastic surgery is controversial in real life.
  
• Digitally, it is the SAME THING. So be prepared for consequences.
  
  
• Next week, we will use the same tool to enhance your face. (Face , nose and eye lift) This week, we focus on the body.
  
  
  
  Ok lets start

______________________


This is Karolina Kurkova on the runway.
The only thing is.. she do not look so glamourous....
We are going to help her look better and give her a smoking body!

Using last week's lesson to create a smooth skin... I smoothed her body..
You can use this picture to start today's lesson..
Click on the picture and save it to use.

This is the result of today's lesson... we do not want her to look like a porn star.. so we are just going to give subtle changes to her body.
She will have bigger and firmer breasts.. Her straight body will now be curvy.
Compare the photo with the one above.

Start up Photoshop

Go to File>Open to open our file.

Choose the file that you want to open.


You will see this.


This is our magic tool. Liquify.
Using Liquify you can PUSH in your skin. PULL out.
EXPAND areas.
CONTRACT areas.
Go to filter>liquify to start.

Pick the first tool on the top left.
It is the forward warp tool.
It can push/pull ANYTHING.
Ok. Now that you have selected it.
Try and see what it can do.
Click on Restore All to undo to continue with our tutorial.
OK you see all the pink lines? You need to push all those parts in so that they look like the photo below.

Your brush size is important. Use [ to make it smaller and ] to make it bigger.
Naturally a bigger brush is better for this step.


This is how your screen looks like after you complete the step above. She have a smaller waist.
Slimmer thighs and arms.
Now you see that blob that sticks out on the right waist? I have circled it.
Adjust your brush size small enough to push it in.

Once you pushed it in, it will look like this.
Now we need to lift her breasts.
Enlarge your brush to fit her breasts and push her breasts up. SLOWLY.
Remember. Subtle change.

See. just a slight change. Now we move on to making her breasts bigger.

Click on the expand tool on the left sidebar.
Adjust the brush size to fit the breasts.
Click and Hold your mouse on the breasts.


There you go.. bigger breasts..
We have finished using Liquify..
Click OK to set everything in.
Remember to do all the finishing touches to her body before clicking OK.


Cleavage is made out of 2 components : big breasts and a DARK VALLEY in between.
Now the valley in between is very light. We want it to be darker.
Click on the Burn tool in the left sidebar.
It looks like a hand. If it looks like something else click and hold onto it, there should be 3 tools dropping down. Pick the Burn tool.

Darken the cleavage ever so slightly.
If you feel like you over did it, at your top toolbar.. there is an Opacity setting.
Set it lower before you burn.
Remember, if you did anything wrong just CTRL ALT Z.

There you go.. bigger boobs.
Slimmer thighs and waists.
slimmer hands too.

next week you will learn how to enlarge your eyes.. make your nose slimmer..
and many more.

Kimberly's Makeover

• Our very first makeover done by our makeup guru, Vinn Pang!

Kimberly before the makeover

Kimberly after the makeover!
We applied foundation and concealer for Kimberly.
After that we seal all that in with loose powder.

Kimberly have big doe-like eyes..We enhanced that by making her crease more noticable using a monotonous neutral colour pallete


We finish up by curling up her lashes and coating them with mascara.
We apply a thin coat of nude lipliner on her lips before glossing them up.

Online Boutique : Milky Cottage

Milky Cottage
Milk is Good For You!

Last few posts, we talked about having style... and inserting your own personality into your online boutique.
We have found the perfect example for this!

All the clothes are digitally propped on a toothpick in front of a vintage polka dot background.
It gives a very vintage and feminine soft look to your clothes.

Following the theme of her blog : Milky Cottage focuses on promoting her clothes around food and table cloths..
We just adore her concept!

And. we also talked about cropping out faces. Instead of cropping out faces, you can hide you hide with caps/hats or your face with scarfs and that is what she did!
The important point in doing this is that you must do it with style or your audience will just feel uncomfortable looking at your photos.
And did it with style she did!


She can pose too!
We love her bold personality.
