What is your latest haulage?

[xLongLashesx]

Mmmm thanks for the info.. I'm going to check it out!

Jinahchae on Youtube is awesome for info on makeup for asian eyes. She did a mammoth video on makeup for different types, including hooded/mono lid. She's also really cute!

 

[sunniechan]

Thanks

I've seen that video and couple of her other videos end of last year, but didn't really find it useful for myself. I think with asian monolids the shape and size makes a huge influence in the look, so her looks doesn't suit mine. She seemed really nice, and it was good to see someone doing tutorials for monolids.

I guess it's kind of like how I like snowkei's FOTD on her but I would never try to copy her because it's not my style and wouldn't really suit me.

I also checked out a few others on youtube, but yeah for different reasons I didn't really find them helpful. I find the technique videos, like blending and how to use brushes etc more helpful. Then trying find my style and what suits me kind of thing.

I love hooded lids!!! With just the liners, you can make your eyes huuuuuge

..
I understand it is different with Asian makeup. Some people don't like having 'westernised' method, i.e use shades to create depth or crease. I had a few make over done that way and I looked like I had bruises on my eyes!

 

[sunniechan]

You can have mine XD You have to show me the liner technique.

I love the westernised method on western eyes, I love the transition of colours and how you can work with lots of colours. But if I did that to mine I'd look like I'm wearing a rainbow lol.

I've head couple of make up classes at mecca and mac, and came out going . The mecca artist made like a half dome shape on top and I looked so weird. The mac one put a rainbow on me, when I asked how she would do a smokey eye. I felt like a disco ball :\

There's this youtube channel with a chinese lady and she really seems to know her asian eyes, I'd love lessons from her but she is in america. The videos I like are all in chinese and I don't understand any so T.T, she does some in english or sub it in english but not the ones I'm interested in.

 

[xLongLashesx]

I love hooded lids too! Especially for smokey looks just graduating from thick dark liner to mid to lighter shades closer to the brow bone. Gorgeous!
My eyes are a mix.. too asian for some western vids and too anglo for asian types! LOL.. can never win.

you've just gotta keep practising Sunnie! That's half the fun

 

[sambibabe]

sunniechan, are you in Melbourne or Sydney?

I know.. I wish I had a crease! My lid is just so flat

A Mecca girl did my eye once and I came out looking Panda (no offence to you Jan-Lee!

)!

Haha Sal, I've seen your eyes before and they are pretty!! You do a great job with them too!

 

[xLongLashesx]

^ aww.. thanks! I've done lots of experimenting, I think I have it down pat now! Med/dark colours on the lid to hide my pudgey lids and never ever under any circumstances light lid/dark crease.. just looks wrong on me, like I'm auditioning for Zoo magazine

 

[xLongLashesx]

AND creases are overrated me thinks.. they just get eyeshadow caught in them!

 

[sunniechan]

xLongLashesx: Is your eye kinda like Michelle Phan or Xteener? I love to see your eye looks ^_^.

Yeah, I'll keep on practising

It's kind of hard though without any feedback. My bf is useless, everything is 'yeah it's good.' My girlfriends don't wear much makeup either. Once I had an mac artist ask if I just got a makeover and she loved the eye look. But I don't know if that was a sales tactic lol.

lol @ AND creases are overrated me thinks.. they just get eyeshadow caught in them!

sambibabe: I'm in Sydney. T.T or I'll be like when are you free for a make up lesson XD. I might be going there sometime this year if my friend can't make it to Sydney.

I guess Mecca girls likes a panda, cos that's pretty much what I came out look like. XD I did have one lesson with a guy called Billy in Mecca and he gave me few good tips.

I wouldn't say my eyelids are really hooded, most people will say it's monolid. it just has a little overhang, like if I line my eyes I would have to put it on thick to have it show.

I guess the biggest challenge for me is that my eyes are little bit different shape, so when I do my eyes I have to make sure that it doesn't make it more obvious. Also the stupid lines on my lids

, so eyeshadows makes it standout too much.

Thanks girls for all the helpful advices! I'm so happy spectra has an aussie section ^___^

 

[sambibabe]

Aww sunniechan, you sound like such a cutie! Yeah let me know you are down this way! Do you wear a lot of matte shadows? I have stupid lines on my lids too and if I wear too much shimmer, they tend to sit on the lines. It is weird, because I don't have a problem with Dior shimmers (maybe they are more finely milled?).

I am sure you are doing a good job with your eyes though.. MAC girls don't compliment all the time

 

[panda0410]

LOL, Nat no offence taken

I rather like the panda eye actually, grungey, messy morning after style...LOLOL!!!

I went to Inglot again yesterday and picked up a few more shadows for a friend of mine, hope she likes them, forgot the numbers, but both had glitter, one was a charcoal colour with multiglitter and sooooo pretty!!

Thank you, sambibabe

. I'll definitely let you know! there isn't a specific finish I wear regularly, I seem to not be able to wear some frosty ones, and the glittery ones from UD Alice. I only own banshee that has glitter from MAC but that one is fine on me. I'll check out Dior shimmers - thanks for the tip!

Hey there! Most of us do CP's (custom purchase) with gals on the forums here that live in the US. We send them a list of what we're after, they tell us how much it will cost and we send them cash through various means (usually paypal) then they purchase it and send it to us. When you've made 20+ posts you'll get access to the Sale & Swap threads where you can look for someone who's willing to CO, there's usually a few ladies on there offering. It's waaaaaaaay cheaper than buying aus retail, even with postage!

I placed my CP for Spring Forcast a couple of weeks ago but my gals was snowed in and couldn't get it right away, I'm not sure yet if she's got it but it's all good she'll send it on down soon, plus she already has stuff for me from Love Lace which will be coming too

I wanted a hole punch and a magnetic sheet, and I'm weird????? lol Can you imagine what she would think if she saw everything that goes on here? hahahahahaha

I think its Those stores in general. I went in ages ago hoping to get a air tight palette or box with dividers. The lady asked me what I wanted them for and she said 'This is not a makeup store" and I looked at her like really, I thought these paints where eyeshadows lol. She was so rude about it too. I had a basket of stuff and put it down and just said oh really, and left. Lol

 

[Brie]

Haven't been around much

Got lots of stuff, I've either ordered, won or pr stuff.

OPI Hong Kong Collection (love the selection of colours!)
Clinique Mascara (new one), cream eyeshadow(sample/preview), Long lasting gloss and a City Sheer Foundation thingy.
Trilogy moisturiser, Rosehip Oil and everything balm(love this my skin is always so dry)
Benefit Smokey eyes Palette and Stay Don't Sray Primer
Orly Glosser top coat and Sterling Silver Rose
Thalgo cleanser and Toner
Weleda Rose Lotion (love this, don't have to wear perfume!)
Masquerade Foundation
NYX Power and Flower (l/s and l/l)

I know there is more but I forget, I think is buyers denial....


Oh and I won some stuff from Napoleon I'm Waiting on

 

[sambibabe]

My gosh, Brie, that is just so rude. I am glad to hear you walked off. Awhile ago, I bought a sports top from Rebel, which was on sale.. The teenage girls at the counter were giggling and saying things like 'this has been on shelf for ages'. I wonder why I didn't just drop everything and walked away!

Okay.. I just updated my spreadsheet and now I have 184 MAC shadows and 82 MAC lippies! I don't even want to count other brands!! This is considered 'normal' here, right? I think I am slowing down with lippies, but eyeshadows.. Grr

You have a spreadsheet with everything that you own?!?!?! I had never thought of doing that! I guess it prevents doubling up of items!

I think I just found a new project for this coming weekend....
