Well I was looking through a Zipper's 2005 Beauty Magazine and there was this look that I wanted to try. Of course I couldn't do it exactly since I looked nothing like the model except that we're both Asian.

NOTE: Someone pointed this out that my skin looked really orange in these pics! It's just the lighting, I promise, it was at night so I had to use the orange tinted artificial lights in my bedroom, and flash didn't help much.

So here is the original. I wish I had gorgeous porcelain skin like her, but I had to deal with my own ruddy skin. Also, the lips are a little inaccurate too since I had no idea how to get the red and the neutral color like it is in the pic.

Used:
Physician's Formula Mineral Wear Talc-Free Mineral Face Powder in Bronzer
Magrittes Paint
Electric Eel and Milani Atlantis
Frost pigment (never used it before, but it's gorgeous!)
Some foundation on my lips and Underage Lipglass
I am forever trying to tone my lips down to balance the look-I know you can see my natural lip line in the pics-try to pretend I did a good job, lol. Anyone want to recommend a lipstick or something that would tone them down and look natural/good?

Thanks guys for reading!

In my experience, copying looks from magazines or wherever always turn out best when you work with your own natural beauty. Trying to work AGAINST your appearance never turns out well. So I think your eyes look beautiful, and you're actually prettier than the model. I also think you should just go with your own natural lip shape and it will look great.

i love what you did with the inner corners of your eyes- its so effective

. you are really gorgeous, and believe me hun, you don't want skin like hers! why do you want skin like that when your beautifully tanned skin is so much nicer than hers?? lol. Once again, i love the look heaps on you

I love the inner corner colour. Beautiful. And I think you did a great job. You are lucky to have a nice healthy skin tone.
