When it come's to make up, i wasn't a huge fan of having tons of make up. Enough by just having, BB Cream, Compact Powder, blush, eye liner, Mascara, limp balm and 1 lipstick. Thats about it. All basic stuff. Lately i always find sometime to search different type of make up on Youtube.Here's afew of my favorite make up guru.

This are the few people i look up to when it comes to product reviews, applying make up and beauty products. Lets start.
Make Up Based/ Primer.
I think this is important for all make up lover.Make up based is crucial because it will make your skin smooth and much more easy to apply any make up product on your face.So for now, im using ArtDeco Make Up based which i bought from Sasa. Pricing is RM 60-RM 90.. Tak ingat.
For eyeshadow primer, im using from Urban Decay.
Urban Decay Eyeshadow based.
It is a foundation primer with anti-aging effect. The light, comfortable gel formulation perfects the complexion and creates an ideal foundation for long-lasting make-up, where wrinkles and small imperfections are optically concealed. It is also fragrance-free.This primer absorb really fast.
Eyeshadow primer and make up based is fairly new to me.Aku memang tak pernah tahu benda - benda ni wujud pun. Bila tengok video dekat youtube, baru timbul kesedaran betapa pentingnya make up based.
Ive noticed dulu bila pakai make up to work, dalam pukul 11m -12pm make up da jatuh.Its normal for oily skin i guess. Memang dissapointed gila. Bila muka da mula berminyak, i would touch up with compact powder. Little that i know of, its a hug mistake.
Now whenever i applied make up based, my make up last alot longer. It give a mate finished and it my face wasnt as oily.
Foundation.
Choosing the right foundation for your skin is important. You dont want you look too dark or too fair.Until now im a bit struggled whenever buying a foundation for myself.Here's a video on how to choose a foundation by Emily Eddington
Bottle version.
This is the compact version.
Luckily it wasnt as pricey. Around RM 50-70. What i love about this is it formulated for oily skin. This foundation give light to medium coverage so it doesn't covered all blemishes or pimples. But it does give a coverage for my uneven skin tone.
This foundation is easy to apply.Despite the bottle version, it's not so runny. But between the bottle and the compact, i prefered the compact because its much more easy to used.
But now i have another most favorite foundation. Its is Time Balm by The Balm.Why im so head over heels in love with this is because the shade is exactly like my skin tone. Just perfect. It gives me a flawless. When i was trying out the shades at Sasa, i was literally screaming. I was so happy. I end buying 2 straight away. The price is around RM 50-RM60.
Barang Kesayangan.
A hit with its vitamin-packed, rejuvenating formula that we took it to another level! Perfect for all skin types, our medium to full coverage timeBalm Foundation crafts a flawless face by smoothing out imperfections and leaving a perfect canvas.
My final favorite foundation came from Sephora.
10 HR Wear Perfection Foundation
A foundation with buildable coverage that instantly conceals blemishes with an invisible, flawless finish. Conceal blemishes, pigmentation marks, scars, and dark spots with this foundation that promises a natural, beautiful finish. This formula blends with your skintone to create an invisible veil; a second skin that adapts to all the movements of the face for optimum comfort all-day long. Hyaluronic acid smooths the skin, while antioxidant vitamin E protects against external stressors. Soft focus pigments blur out blemishes and soften the appearance of wrinkles for a youthful, even complexion.
Revlon Photoready BB Cream Skin Perfector with SPF 30.
Sometimes whenever i dont feel like spending almost 1 hours menghadap cermin applying make up, i just used BB cream on daily basis.BB Cream doesnt give full coverage but it does do the work. I still can see afew blemishes but i don love the SPF30.
One downside about it - only 3 range of shades. Light , Light/Medium and Medium.
Im using medium now but its 1 tone lighter than my face. So what i usually do is, after applying it and setting powder, i apply abit of bronzer to my face so that it matches my real skin tone.What does BB cream do is
- HYDRATES like moisturizer
- SMOOTHES like primer
- COVERS like foundation
- BLURS FLAWS like concealer
- PROTECTS with SPF 30 like sunscreen
Loose Powder/ Compact Powder/ Pressed Powder.
My pick on Loose or compact powder came from afew different brand.My first choice is Revlon Photo ready Compact Powder.
Revlon ColorStay jet-milled formula for ultra-fine, silkier texture helps to minimize shine and creates a fresh, flawless finish that wears for up to 16 hours over makeup.
This powder provides a lightweight, comfortable feel all day. Never looks dry or cakey. Smooth over makeup, concealer, or bare skin. Ideal to use with ColorStay™ Makeup. Oil-free. Non-pore-clogging. Non-irritating.
Another powder finish that i love is from Sephora.Its called a Sculpting disk.The packaging is big so its sightly difficult to carry around in my handbag. In the disk, you can see there are three part. Bronzer, Powder and Highlighter.
Bronzer: The bronzer is not completely matte but it is not shimmery or glittery either, it is more matte than shimmery and gives a nice soft focus natural finish. I apply it with a fluffy brush and it applies like a dream. It is just the right shade for me and it can be built up nicely.
Powder: The face powder is just right for my skintone, I was afraid it would be to dark but I think it is quite translucent. it does a great job at mattifying my skin and setting my foundation. I do have to be careful not to apply too much, but ones I got the hang of it, this really did a great job.
Highlighter: this is my least favorite bit. I don't know why the highlighter has to be so pink? and the shimmer is gritty and strange in texture. However applied lightly it does looks quite nice, but I would have liked another colour and less sparkle.
I absolutely love this compact! the bronzer is just right for me and it applies like a dream. I find it really easy to use and the results are amazing. Only negative would be the highlighter being a little too dark and shimmery and the powder in the compact does start to look a little strange after it's been used a lot, lol but I don't care how it looks in the pan as long as it looks good on the skin. i bought this around RM 70 at Sephora Paradigm Mall.
The packaging is big.
The left side is the bronzer, center is the powder and right is the highlighter.
On the back of the packaging it shows how to used them.
Lipstick/Lipgloss.
My most favorite brand when it comes to lipstick is Revlon and Nxy. Revlon lipstick doesnt have those unpleasant smell or taste. Revlon has a hug range of lipstick. Some of my favorites are
Revlon Colorstay Ultimate Suede.
This lipstick gives you a mate finish which stay longer than most lipstick. It has alot range of colour.
This lipstick is just so hard to resist. I have 5-6 shades only for this type. I bought this at Guardian and price is RM 36. Worth every peny.
Another range of Revlon lipstick is Revlon Coloursbust Lip Butter.
This lipstick has a smooth texture BUT it doesnt last long as the Ultimate Suede.The price is RM25 but im not a frequent user for this range.
Blush.
I have afew busher but the one i keep on using is by Sasa and Hot Mama by The Balm.
Im using Peachy Pink.
The Hot Mama blush is my favorite is because its abit bronzy colour which is suitable for my skin tone but one down side is, too much shimmery effect. So whenever im applying this blush, i have to reapply my setting powder or pressed powder.
The price for this is RM80.
