My Random Ramblings..

I've always wanted to know what my shade is with MAC so when I went to MOA yesterday, I made sure that I drop by MAC's counter. I found out that I'm an NC25. It was an enormous feat to turn away and buy nothing. But I'm not really sure if I'm willing to shell out Php1500 for a foundation so with a heavy heart, I turned away. Probably someday.. When I have more moolah to spare.

Anyway, it's my rest day today and I figured that I won't be putting any make up on especially with the hot weather and all.. But I'm really bored and I had to take my sister and aunt to the bus station so I need to put on some makeup but it's very minimal.. I just used my Purederm BB cream and my Joppa Original FS in Sheer, Nichido blush in Passionate Red, my homemade eye primer, Fashion21 eyebrow duo and black liquid liner, Nichido Girls Night Out in Smoke Green, Gelato eyescream #3, Bare Naturals lipcolor in Delusional, Ellana mineral e/s in Inspiration as my brow highlighter, and Elf waterproof black mascara and I'm done.. It's really hot but at least my make up is not melting.. yet.

Home-made eye primer

I've been searching for eye primer reviews on youtube when i stumbled upon this video that shows how you can make an eyeshadow primer using liquid foundation, body butter and nivea cream. Since I don't have any eyeshadow base on my make-up kit, I have decided that I'll give this a try. So I got my Loreal True Match liquid foundation, Nivea creme, and HBC Body Recipe body butter in Pure Coco oil and whipped out my own eyeshadow base. And here's the result..



These are the ingredients ( nivea creme, liquid foundation, and body butter). You have to make sure that you're going to use a foundation that matches your skin tone. It's a good thing I'm not fond of using liquid foundation and I still have this True Match foundie given by my grandma. You may also use a concealer instead of a liquid foundation.



It kinda looks like peanut butter.



These swatches were from the same e/s shade. I used the home-made e/s base on the left one and as you can see, it has a better color pay-off. I actually tried rubbing it off but it didn't budge.. Hmm.. this might actually work.. I'll try it tomorrow on my lid and see if it also helps with creasing..
