Soft Natural Makeup for Formal Occasion

Hiiii ladies....

Saat ini di kantor sedang hujan deras, sambil menunggu hujan reda, iseng-iseng saya buka-buka file klien, kira-kira foto mana yang bisa diposting di sini. Akhir-akhir ini kalau merias klien, saya punya kebiasaan jelek suka lupa memotret. Bukan kenapa sih, biasanya klien suka molor mulainya dari waktu yang disepakati #alasan & pembenaran (hehehe saya suka sengaja menambah waktu setengah jam sendiri, khusus untuk memotret klien), kalau sudah molor begini biasanya semua jadi serba terburu-buru dan mau tidak mau, acara foto-memoto yang seharusnya menjadi acara puncak terpaksa dicoret dari list deh.

Untuk makeup kali ini, konsepnya adalah soft natural. Klien saya adalah si cantik Kinanti yang sehari-hari berpenampilan tomboy dan "diharuskan" bertugas sebagai MC di acara Rakerpim kantor kami. Saya sudah mengira kalau setelah di-makeover, Kinanti bakal terlihat manglingi dan yes benar kan! Sayang saya tidak mem-posting foto before-nya, nanti saya update foto before-nya kalau sudah ketemu dia lagi ya (Maklum walaupun bekerja dalam 1 gedung, tapi jarang sekali ketemu dia)

Nah ini dia penampilan Kinanti setelah di-makeover. FYI penampilan Kinanti dalam membawakan acara waktu itu bagus banget loh...saya dengar celetukan kecil pujian dari audiens di kanan kiri, sukses terus yaaa buat Kinanti :)

Makeup & hair do by me, maaf kalau kualitas fotonya agak blur ya, pakai kamera hp soalnya :) Bagi yang butuh untuk di-makeover, silahkan hubungi saya di: tlp +6282111443445 atau pin 22774834.

U R B A N D E C A Y | Naked Palette 1

Hallo ladiesss.....

It's a late posting actually, I have written it months ago and just publish it today hehehe. This posting's gonna talk about Urban Decay Naked Palette 1 and I know it's so last year (but hey it doesn't matter), since Urban Decay is launching their 3rd Urban Decay Naked Palette series right now which honestly I'm craving for it too. 

Back to our earlier topic, I bought this UD Naked Palette 1 for about IDR 650rb last year and now the price is reaching IDR 730rb something due to increasing in USD rate. However, I personally think that it's quite worth it for spending the pricey palette, coz the price has covered both UD Primer Potion in travel size and UD karma Eyeshadow brush which are somewhat very awesome!

The packaging comes in a brown velvet case with a mirror attached on the inside of the lid which includes twelve brownish neutral eyeshadow shades. I have been experimenting with it for a year and absolutely luv it!  I've also been looking for eyeshadow that doesn't easily fall out once it's applied on the lower lash line and this warm color palette is the answer!

Now let see the swatches....

Virgin and sin: ideal for highlighting. You may apply virgin shade on the inner corner of eye, browbone and under eye. while sin shade may be applied as a transition between the browbone and crease color.

Naked: a matte soft beige shade is perfectly applied over the lid as a base.

Sidecar: a shimmery darker beige color is perfectly applied above the naked shade or wherever you want. 

Buck: a matte beige color, is suitable applied on eyelid/crease
Half Baked and Smog: they are shimmery golden tones, suitable applied on lid/lower lash line to create soft smokey eyes.
Dark Horse: a brown color with a bit of shimmery, you may also apply it on crease to define more smokey look.

Toasted & Hustle: darker metallic brown-ish colors, perfect for darker smokey eyes.
Creep and Gunmetal: shades close to black, perfect to define outer V for dark smokey eyes.

PRO'S (+)
- Warm tones, suitable for both light and dark skin.
- Easily blendable
- Wearable for everyday use 
- Complete beautiful shades, from lighter to darker and from matte to shimmery
- Includes Primer Potion and Eyeshadow Karma Brush

Primer Potion

Eyeshadow Karma Brush

CON'S (+)
- The packaging doesn't really protect and cover the palette from bumps. 
- The matte colors aren't really pigmented

So how 'bout your own Naked Palette? Please share your thoughts :)
