Purple Gradation Lips Ideas

Hello there! If you know me, i change my lipstick color almost everyday. One of the reason why is because i'm easily bored. Two, i love colors and i mix n' match my lipstick everyday. Sometimes it's one color, sometimes two, or even three! Lately, i've purchased a purple lipstick to add to my colorful lipstick collections to complete my lip gradation ideas. 
I accidentally found a flower with matching color.

Maybelline Fashion Brow: 3D Brow & Nose Palette in Dark Grey

For too long time i've left my blog and not writing anything at all. Here is my first post after long gone.

I considered eyebrows as frames for the eyes and not just two lines that separated our eyes and foreheads. That's why i personally love soft natural eyebrows than perfect looking strong eyebrows. To create a soft brows i used to wear matte eyeshadow from my NYX palette. But it is big and inconvenient to put in my beauty pouch. Lately i've been eyeing on brow palettes rather than eyebrow pencils, and i found Maybelline Fashion Brow: 3D Brow & Nose Palette. Here is my review about the product.


Beautiful Wedding Organizer Girls at Autumn's Wedding

 

Yesterday my friend Autumn had a wedding reception and i was trusted to be the Make-Up Artist for the Wedding Organizer Girls whose also friends of Autumn. I see this as an opportunity to test my makeup skill. I know i usually did makeup for photos and not for long endurance type of makeup. But it's a must for makeup of this kind of special occation to have long endurance. I took this chance really seriously so i did a lot of preparation before. Let's say, i gotta prove to myself that i'm able to do this and also make a good experience for my makeup portfolio. ;)

BEHIND THE SCENE 
Makeup i used yesterday was not a high-end makeup. It was mostly a drugstore makeup that quality is approved by many beauty blogger and vlogger. I got idr 700k on my hand and i wanted to make a really good use of it to perfecting my makeup collection and to upgrade the endurance of my makeup. The rest of the makeup i used yesterday was already on my beauty case. I googled a lot of review about these beauty products before so here is what i got for less than idr 700k.



  1. Sleek Face Form Palette (Beautiful coral blush with gold pearlescent, a pretty highlighter, and a contour color in one palette.)
  2. 5 pieces of be Paris falsies in number 20 which i cut before to make it more natural.
  3. Marie Beauty Eye Cream Eyelash Glue (I don't understand why it's named eye cream, but this eyelash glue is super strong and cheap. Love it!)
  4. L.A. Girl Pro Concealer in Creamy Beige (I love how it blends naturally on top of foundation to cover up dark circles for girls with medium to darker skin tone)
  5. L.A. Girl Pro Concealer in Chestnut (This one is also perfect for creamy contouring for girls with medium to dark skin tone.)
  6. Revlon Colorstay Gel Eyeliner in Black Noir (It stays nicely on my oily and sweaty eyelid so i bet it's also stays nicely on a girl with less sweat and oily lid problems like mine.)
  7. Makeover Hydrating Primer (Perfect to hydrate skin before any makeup.)
  8. L.A. Girl Pro HD Setting Spray. (Affordable setting spray to lock everything in place.) 
  9. Coty Airspun Loose Face Powder in Translucent Extra Coverage (The legendary high quality loose face powder with an affordable price.)

I got most of these products from Beauty Haul Indo that gives the best price and also from the legendary cosmetics shop in Bandung, Toko Mahmud.

However, with those amount of makeup is still feel i lack a few things such as a dark foundation and also a beautiful nude lipstick with a nice pigmentation. That's why i was being crafty and actually made my own dark foundie and a beautiful nude pink lipstick.

Thanks to my friend Rara, i already have two Makeover Perfect Cover Creamy Foundation in Rich Almond (01) and Oxford Brown (03). But i still need a foundie that is slightly more yellow and darker than Rich Almond and Lighter than the Oxford Brown. So, i mixed these two colors to create the perfect color i wanted and a few drops of baby oil to make it a lil bit creamier. Because honestly, these Makeover Creamy Foundie was just too difficult to be blended. I really had to buff it strongly using my damp sponge to get the perfect blend on my face. And in the process, it usually peels my dead skin and make my skin look patchy. I'm sure nobody want a patchy skin on their special occasion so a few drops of baby oil won't hurt anyone. It will be better if you have a face oil such as a tea tree oil etc. I see that our local brand named Utama Spice carried these kind of oil products.


To create a darker creamy foundation, i mixed the dark brown matte eyeshadow in baby oil first and mixed it with Makeover Perfect Cover Creamy Foundation in Oxford Brown. I think i was succeed because i got a nice creamy foundation in the shade i wanted. Here is the swatches. Number 1 and 3 was the Makeover Perfect Cover Creamy Foundation in Rich Almond and Oxford Brown. Number 2 and 4 was the foundie i already mixed.


Swatch number 5 is the nude pink lipstick i made myself because i can't find a nice nude pink lipstick with a good pigmentation in a good price. So i melted five kind of pink lipstick first on a spoon on top of candle, Revlon Colorburst Lipstick in Carnation, Purbasari Matte Lipstck in Jade, Maybelline Colorshow Lipstick in Pink Please, Silkygirl Moisture Balm Lipstick (nude pink color), Maybelline Baby Lips Candy Wow in Raspberry to add some mositure to my lip potion, and a little bit of matte shocking pink eyeshadow. I stir it a little bit before i mixed it with the creamy foundation in number 2 that i made earlier. Foundation gives this lip potion a nice wearable color. I still think it's not pink enough so add a few drops of Sariayu Duo Lip Color in DLCK-12. And tadaaah! It's done!

THE MAKEUP I USED
There are four girls that i makeover yesterday. They have different skin type and skin tone and i'm so glad that the foundation i had matches their skin and also covered their imperfections. The wedding color theme was blue and silver so i decided to put a blue eyeshadow and glitter as one of the makeup element. Here are all of the makeup and brushes i used yesterday sequentially.

  1. Makeover Hydrating Primer applied in Kay Collection damp makeup sponge.
  2. My mixed Perfect Cover Creamy Foundation applied with my Real Techniques Stippling Brush and blended with Kay Collection damp makeup sponge.
  3. L.A. Girl Pro Concealer in Creamy Beige for under eyes blended with Kay Collection damp makeup sponge.
  4. Skin79 BB Diamond Collection Luminous Pearl Beblesh Balm as a cream highlighter and blended with Kay Collection damp makeup sponge.
  5. L.A. Girl Pro Concealer in Chestnut as a cream contour blended with Kay Collection damp makeup sponge.
  6. Revlon Colorburst Lipstick in Carnation applied as a cream blush and blended with Kay Collection damp makeup sponge.
  7. Coty Airspun Loose Face Powder in Translucent Extra Coverage applied with the applicator available or with my Mineral Botanica Powder Brush or using Kay Collection damp makeup sponge if i want to bake my concealer or highlighter. 
  8. Makeover Eyebrow Pencil in Brown to Earth used to frame the eyebrows.
  9. Matte dark brown eyeshadow from my NYX Every Color Imaginable Eye Shadow Palette used to fill in the eyebrows using my Mineral Botanica angled liner brush.
  10. Maybelline Fashion Brow 24 Hour Color Matcher Brow Mascara in Dark Brown to blend the brown eyeshadow and the real eyebrow hairs matched and make sure it stays in place.
  11. La Tulipe Cosmetics Eye shadow Base applied on the upper and lower lid using my no brand concealer brush. 
  12. Two sky blue eyeshadow from my NYX Every Color Imaginable Eye Shadow Palette is mixed and then applied on the lower lid only using Tammia Crease Brush 4mm and then blended.
  13. Two greyish eyeshadows from my NYX Every Color Imaginable Eye Shadow Palette is mixed and then applied on the inner and outer corner of the lid using my Tammia Crease Brush 4mm and then blended. 
  14. Makeover Powder Eyeshadow in Frozen Pink is applied on the center of the lid using finger.
  15. Marie Beauty Eye Cream Eyelash Glue is applied on the lower lid (not on the lash line) as a base for the Blue Glitter.
  16. No Brand Blue Glitter applied using my No Brand lip brush.
  17. Revlon Colorstay Gel Eyeliner in Black Noir is applied using my Tammia Eye Stiff Angle Brush No. 3.
  18. Maybelline Big Eyes Volum'Express Waterproof Mascara is applied on the upper and lower lashes.
  19. Marie Beauty Eye Cream Eyelash Glue is used to applied the Be Paris Eyelashes in No.20.
  20. Mizzu Cosmetics Pen Eyeliner in Black is used to hide the white color of the glue that wasn't dried transparent.
  21. Highlighter, contour, and blush color from Sleek Face Form Palette is applied using Mineral Botanica Blush Brush.
  22. The lip potion i mixed before i applied using Mineral Botanica Lip Brush.
  23. Silkygirl Moisture Gloss in Sugar Pink is applied on top of the lips using Mineral Botanica Lip Brush.
  24. Because the lip color still look a bit too pale i also applied a lil bit of Sariayu Duo Lip Color in DLCK-12.
  25. Last step. Spray some L.A. Girl Pro HD Setting Spray all over the face.
I learned that i can do a full makeup for one girl in 45 minutes. I began at 5 am and finished 4 girls makeup at 8 am. I usually spent a longer time to do my makeup just because i like it. Hehehe. I am so thankful to them because these girls don't demand a lot to me. They just sat there in front of me and let me do their face. They trusted their makeup to me, and i think that's what important for anyone who want to get their makeup done by any makeup artist. Just trust your face to us! We won't do anything that make you look ugly unless it's a special effect makeup. Hehehe.. 

THE RESULT
I feel so glad that they were happy with their makeup. The foundation gave an enough coverage and uniformity, and the makeup also stayed nicely on their faces when i came back at 2 pm. There are a lil bit oil on the girls with oily skin, but other than that it's fine. So i guess my first long endurance makeup experiment is SUCCEED. YAYY!!!!!





Everytime i did makeup for myself or other people i always remember what Lisa Eldridge always stressed on many of her videos that "Makeup should enhancing rather than masking". She taught me that layering so many foundation is not gonna do anything to your face other than make your face look cakey. If we have an imperfection on some part of our face, use a good concealer to conceal it rather than conceal all part of our face. I also learn from her that the real function of foundation is to give the uniformity to your whole skin. Some people do tend to put a thick foundation blanket all over their face when they actually only have to conceal some parts. You know, it's like generalizing that all Indonesian people's skin are dark or all asian girls eyes are small. This Lisa's philosophy just makes sense to me. I hate a thick and cakey look on people's faces. I think that the real makeup artist should be able to do what Lisa do. Because natural makeup trend will never fade away. And i'm still reaaaally far from that. If you wanna see Lisa do her natural magic makeup to a girl with acne problem, just click HERE

I really enjoyed my experience gave these beautiful girls makeover for the special occasion. In the future, i really wish i could work with more people from different type of skin tone and problems just to gain some new experience and upgrade my skill. So, if you read this blog and you're happen to live in Bandung, my hometown, or maybe near Bandung, and you are willing to help me gain a new experience or need somebody to do makeup for your special occasion such as party or graduation makeup or even photoshoot, you can contact me through my instagram or my other social media. Just leave me a comment and i'm gonna send you a direct message of my contact. I'll make sure that my makeover price is as affordable as it could be. :D See you on my next post!

PS: Thanks to Allah who made me able to do this, to my supportive and kind boyfriend Lucky and all of my lovely friends Fajar, Jida, and Rara who helped and support me with this. Thanks to Otem, Sahila, Nuning, Cantika, and Nanda who gave me an opportunity to do this makeup and let me take their picture and use it for my blog. Also for Rara, Sekar, and Icha who already booked me to do their future wedding makeup, hang in there girls, don't married just yet, i'm trying to gain my skill so that it would be suitable for your future wedding. Today the WO girls and tomorrow probably the brides.
