Probably the least i've done throughout my last 3 years in uni.

Surprisingly and embarrassingly, I actually enjoyed doing all the textbook questions....this whole audit thing is starting to interest me..

5 Simple steps to a 5 minutes Everyday makeup look
These products are essentially what I have in my pink little make up bag that I carry around. I've tried hundreds of make up products before and the ones below are my favourites to create that clean natural look.
Step 1- Moisturise your face to prep your skin
I have been using Dermalogica Active Moist for years and I really like it because it's hydrating and the texture isn't too oily.
Step 2- Apply a light coat of foundation
There are different type of foundation that could be used. Mineral based, liquid, powder, or cream(stick foundation). I have tried all of these different types of foundation and found liquid to be the most hydrating, mineral to be the least harmful for face, and stick foundation to be the quickest way of application.
I have been using Revlon Photoready Foundation as it not only covers my blemishes well but also gives me that tiny "glow" to my look- in make up terms, we call it a "dewy" look
Might also want to use a concealer to conceal any blemishes and dark eye circles if you have more time.
Step 3- Finish off with a powder to make your foundation last longer
Most powders appear to be either too cakey, dry, or really white so make sure you pick the right type of consistency and colour.
One tip to make your make up look less cakey is also to apply your powder with a big brush, dabbing it in to your skin instead of using those sponges.
I have been using MAC's Mineralise Skin Finish for years now and found it to be the most natural looking powder. I like it cause it doesn't make me look like a giesha.
Step 4- Apply a blush colour of your choice.
Although some people don't like have blush on them cause they think it makes them look like chinese opera, I'd have to say from my many years of make up research that a tiny pinch of blush will actually make your face look brigher, more awake, and gives "tone" to it.
Any blusher will do- I don't really have a one I like cause I find them all to be almost the same. But I recommend using a matte blush for a simple everyday look.
Blushes can be divided into different tones- Pink, Peach, and Taupe.
Pink blushes are used to create the more cutey jap girl huge eyes dolly kinda look
where as peach is more natural and high fashioned.
Taupe/Bronzer -used for contouring your face to make your face look smaller.
For now, I have been using my MAC's blush in Peach.
Step 5- Apply a thin layer of eyeliner to define your eyes.
Eyeliner comes in pencil, gel, and liquid form and I actually use all of them! Sometimes even all at once!
Start by applying a thin line with an eyeliner pencil/gel liner
I usually use Revlon Colorstay Eyeliner- so far the best pencil eyeliner I've used. Cheap,Not much smudges, long staying power, no need to sharpen.
But now I've invested in Bobbi Brown's gel eyeliner because it provides me with a much thinner, precise, and dark line. The only bad side to this is that it is very creamy and smudges quite easily.
That' why, it's important to top up the gel/pencil eyeliner with either a liquid eyeliner or some dark brown powdered shadow.
I like applying medium blue shadows now as blue shadows helps to enhance our black/brown Asian eyes and somewhat make them look bigger and less gothic like black.
One good tip to note is when applying eyeliner on your waterline (underneath), don't use black eyeliner as it is too harsh for an everyday look. A brown eyeliner would be good. Apply some white eyeliner to the inner corners of your eyes to brighten them a lil.
And that is it! Five simple steps to Glozdaddy's Everyday Make Up look.
I am so made to be a makeup artist or seller.
