Without further ado, here's Patricia! ^^ What up pretty ladies! Before anything else I would like to thank Joanne for having me here, it really is a great pleasure to be featured in her blog and inspire others like she does.
I am Patricia, 21, I am a Registered Nurse originally from the Philippines but I am now living in California for a couple of months now with my wonderful husband. I love to go shopping clothes and make up. I feel like I can’t get enough, for sure I’m not the only one who feels the same, right? So let’s just say it’s normal for us girls. ;) I also love to watch Make up and DIY tutorial on Youtube. One of my Fave Make Up vlogger is Michelle Phan, if you haven’t seen her videos yet, trust me, YOU SHOULD.
I love to watch TV while I’m doing my makeup, that’s why it’s taking me forever to finish especially when Keeping Up with the Kardashians is on. LOL Here is the in order list of products that I used on my look. It’s my ‘to go to make up’ products that I usually use, I know it may look a lot but hey some will stare at you so you have to make it worth their while. ;)
For My FACE and CHEEKS: 1. KOJIE Sun Block- Before putting anything on my face, I make sure that I put Sun Block on first to avoid sun skin damage like dark spots and premature aging. What I love about this product is it is lightweight and when you apply it on your face; it will not make your face look white like other sunblocks do. It blends on your skin well too. 2. Etude House Pore Ever -I’m so in love with this product. I use this product as primer; it helps to make pores less visible and serves as the barrier between my sunblock and my foundation. It makes your skin so smooth right after you apply it on your face making the foundation easier to blend on your skin. 3. Skin 79 Super BB Cream in Pink- I use a thin layer of this as my first foundation coat. I use my Bobbi Brown Stifling Brush to blend it out. This is one of the best BB creams in the market and I love it because it makes my face looks flawless but not only that, it also has SPF 25, and it helps your skin to fight wrinkles, seriously how awesome is that? :D 4. L’Oreal True Match foundation -If you’re watching Makeup tutorials on youtube, you will see this foundation a lot! It’s one of the BESTEST drugstore foundation. It gives you medium to full coverage and it lasts longer than the other foundations. Try it girl! It has tons of shades to choose from; varying from cool, neutral to warm skin tones and it will not hurt your budget. ;) 5. Rimmel Stay Matte Pressed Powder- And this is what I use to set everything in. It will help the products I applied to stay for long hours. And also it is so cheap for such an awesome press powder in the market. 6. Physicians Formula Baked Pyramid Bronzer -Contour them cheeks on :D. And also the sides of your nose and chin. 7. Etude House Blush and Highlighter in One- Oh my, one of my faves too! It makes my cheeks glowing. It’s getting better and better after hours of putting it on your face. Amazing J
For my BROWS, EYES and LIPS: 1. Mac Eyeliner in Dark Brown – always remember girls, the thicker the brow, the younger you look. 2. Victoria Secret On the Go Make Up – I love using this on my eyes, I put the lightest color on my eyelids and the darkest color on my crease then blend it away to create a Smokey effect but not too made up look. 3. Everbilena White Eyeliner – line your waterline to make your eyes more alive. 4. Mac Gel Liner – I love using liquid eyeliner too but this time I used gel liner, use this to create a wing on your eyes making your eyes look dramatic. 5. Covergirl LashBlastLuxe – and of course don’t forget to put mascara on your lashes, I don’t usually use fake lashes, I don’t know, I just want to make my look simple and not too made up but do whatever works on you anyways J 6. Lol Pink Lipstick – Oh I am inlove with pink lipstick, it can make you look so youthful and innocent. You can never go wrong with pink lippies. 7. Mac Lip Liner – and to add some drama on my lips, I will put some lip liner on the inner portion of lips to create an ombre effect.
So that’s pretty much it for my look. If you would ask me what product I can’t live without, it would be liquid/gel eyeliner. I’ve been wearing eyeliner since my senior year in High School and it became part of me that I find it hard to live the house without wearing eyeliner. But hey, my husband constantly reminds me that I am pretty with or without it, which helps me a lot to boost my self-esteem. :D
Going back to my Make Up Look, what I love about this look is that you can wear it on casual date, at work or pretty much any occasion you may attend. Always remember that Make Up is use to enhance your beauty. And your Smile is always the best asset on your face. SMILE, because YOU ARE BEAUTIFUL.
