Basic MakeUp Set

  • Last week we talked about having a basic makeup brush set.. Here is the continuation.

Ok. We have a face brush/blusher, 4 eye makeup brushes, brow brush and lip brush.
This is the basics.
For foundation, you can either use a brush or a sponge to apply. (Foundation brushes creates unsightly lines when used, so we preferred sponges) It is up to you to choose actually.. whether you want a brush or a sponge.


The size of this brush is small enough to be a blusher yet big enough to be a face brush. Why not be both? Just remember to wash them if you plan on double-utilizing them often or you'll end up with a pink powdered face.



The very core basics of using eye makeup brushes.
Brush. Blend. Fix mistakes.
Repeat.

Sharp angled brush for eyelining or for the creative : eyebrow filling.
Always remember, if you plan on double-utilizing your brushes, wash them often.

The comb used for measuring means like when you go to the saloon. They comb your hair and with the comb intact in your hair, they cut according to the comb's length as if it is a ruler.
it is the same for brows :)


Using a lipbrush can really save you alot of lipstick.. and your makeup look less heavy too!


Brushes aside.. what about colours?
Did you know that you can use blusher as eyeshadow and vice versa?
Or if the eyeshadow colour is light and shimmery, you can use it as a highlight and vice versa as a bronzer?
Because all makeup colours are made out of coloured pigments (with powder, ingredients, shimmery dusts, bla bla bla)

The set above is a pigment pallete. Consisting of skin tones (highlights, bronzers)
Eyeshadows (the whole thing can be one)
Blusher (the ladies in red)



here are some of the makeup looks that you can achieve using that 88 pigments


Now.. all the tools above are not sourced from markets or RM1 for 3 items store.
They are from a supplier who sells makeup products to MAKEUP ACADEMIES/ STUDENTS/ARTISTS.



1. BASIC BRUSH SET
For example this basic brush set.. all of the brushes are made out of Squirrel Hair..
What is the difference between synthetic brushes and animal-haired brushes, you asked?
Synthetic brushes are not as soft. They spoil easily.
Animal haired brushes are very soft and they can be used for your whole life if you know how to take care of them properly.

MAC brushes are mostly synthetic.. they are expensive too.. They cost around RM 70++ for EACH brush.
Laura Mercier's brush set(like above) costs around RM 700 +-
Shu Uemura's are around RM 300+-

Our brush set is only RM 150.. with a free Sponge set too!
Made out of Squirrel hair (each and everyone of them!)
Sold mainly to makeup schools and artists..
We have specially put together a basic set for you!

It even comes with a pouch!

They can be easily carried in your bag or purse for travelling and comes with 2 extra eyeshadow replacement tips!
Only RM 150..

but wait!!
There's more!

2. COASTAL SCENTS 88 PIGMENT SET
This is the Coastal Scents 88 pigment eyeshadow set for only RM80
Comes with 2 eyeshadow tips and a mirror.
To test the quality of any eyeshadow, you have to see :
1. how pigmented they are?
When you test them on your hand, does the colour show after one application?
If the colour is strong and thick, it is pigmented and of good quality.
meaning you apply less for more colour, less harmful to your skin.

The 88 pigments comes with skin tones(highlights and bronzers), blusher tones, shimmer tones and the whole thing can be for eye makeup too!
This set is very pigmented as you can see, the quantity is very little but you do not need to apply alot for the colour to show.
Usually you get 3 or 4 colours in a Makeup Pallete that cost over RM 100++ in MAC,
Now you get EVERYTHING for RM 80.
Blusher? Check.
Bronzer? Check.
Eye colour? Check.
Highlights? Check.
Shimmers? Check

2. is their ingredients safe?
There are harmful ingredients that you have to look out for in makeup.
If the list of ingredients is not there, be careful because it is not legal to sell makeup without releasing their list of ingredients.
We will go into that in another article.

but for now, this pigment set has a very high content of pigment. Therefore the other ingredient's content weight is already very little.
Furthermore, there are no harmful ingredients here, we checked!




PLEASE WATCH THIS FIRST BEFORE PURCHASING!!!


3. COASTAL SCENTS 77 PIGMENT SET VERSION 2
This is the same version as the 88 pigment set but the blushers are a tad bigger, so are the highlights and lowlights.

Same price as above... RM 80
**Notice : The colour arrangement may differ from pallete to pallete but all the colours will be available


Wait.. wait.. wait.. there is MORE!



If you get BOTH of our Brush Set and any Pigment Set, it goes for RM 210 with the free sponge set.
It means you save RM 20!

i don't think the palette is an authentic coastal scents'. it looks the same but actually it's different. the original coastal scents have the name printed on the cover of the palette and the box. but anyways, this is always a cheaper alternative for eyeshadow palettes.

Haze Long said...

i seldom comment here cuz i usually email whoever that leaves an email.. but I feel the need to clarify to the (as usual) anonymous commenter.

the palletes came from the same factory that cs palletes originates from. companys like coastal scents or other cosmetic brands take the palletes(no branding, empty packaging) and rebranded it.

for example. cs printed the logo of their brand onto the pallete top. and repackage with new box + packaging add some marketing.. its their product.

the 120 pro pallete is from the same factory as well, but ebay is the one who branded it into EBAY 120 PROFESSIONAL pallete.

I could do the same and rebrand it blushberry. what's the point.

consumers need to know the amount of money put into rebranding and realize that brands like MAC spent alot of money into packaging and less on ensuring the quality of the products.

Make Up Store however, is the total opposite. The money is spent more on the products and keeping it skin safe while the packaging is kept to a bare minimum.

To test the quality of any cosmetic product, you need to look past the brand and test the product without being biased to how good it looks.

This explains why brands like Anna Sui, Benefit, Paul & Joe and Stila make it big due to their attractive packaging but brands that focus more on their products quality like Laura Mercier, Shu Uemura, Make Up Store are often used by Make Up Artists.

In fact, makeup artists have their own no-brand cosmetics lying in their cases.

In conclusion, I can always remove the pinks of this pallete and rebrand it repackage it into an attractive blusher set. Then the highlights n lowlights into another one. Browns into eyebrow kit.

when in fact, everything is just pigments differing in density. If you know how to use it, you can get the same effect. If you don't, then stick to brands that tell you a blusher is a blusher and eyeshadow is eyeshadow.

No offence intended, we are all here to share knowledge anyway :)
