FOTD: Eyeliner!

Hello, my friends! How is your week going so far? How is work/school? I hope you all started it with a bang! My week so far has been good. I've been addicted to prize claws... you know those claw games at arcades? I recently acquired a new pink domo =p


This was from Dave & Busters.

Anyway, aside from that laborious hobby, I've been meddling with eyeliner. I'm not usually big on eyeliners as you can see in my pictures but I like how it defines the eyes and change your look drastically. With eyeliner, I look and feel like a completely different person. I guess I'm still not used to it yet, but I'm starting to really like it.

I certainly look more awake than usual. I am crazy about eyeliner right now! Here's what I used:


Bobbi Brown Skin Foundation in Warm Sand (see my review here) - I'm still really loving this foundation. It's got that certain consistency that dries really quickly to a nice, semi matte finish. It feels so luxurious and nearly a second skin. Half a pump is more than enough to cover redness and even out the skin tone.




Alison Raffaele Mineral Powder Foundation in Skintone 2- I've been using this as a finishing powder although it's really meant to be used as a foundation. The loose powder is silky smooth and has a beautiful finish. It looks wonderful by itself as well, and just the right amount to even out any flaws.



CoverGirl Perfect Point Eyeliner in Black Onyx - The eyeliner that stayed on almost all day. It did smudge, but it lasted over 6+ hours. That's also probably because I work in an very air conditioned office so it doesn't have time to melt off my face. It's also extremely cheap... I got it on for $1 at Dollar Tree. There's also a smudging tip on the back of the pencil, which I've tried but didn't like the results on myself. It's easier to use a smudge brush.


Lancome Subtil Blush in Cedar Rose - One of my prettiest blushes! It's extremely sheer but it builds up lightly and adds a nice wash of color for the cheeks. I like the dusty rose color because of its warmth and subtle glow. Less is more!



MAC Lip Gloss in Rich and Ripe - Oldie but a goodie :) I really love this color! Unfortunately, this came out sometime in 2008 or something and I can't find it anymore. Good thing is that I have a lifetime supply of lip products to keep me afloat!


MAC e/s duo in Illusionary Burning Ambition - One of my safe neutrals I like to sweep on my lids. It's a no brainer and is great when travelling. Somehow, this brown color is everything I like in a brown... it's a true neutral but with a hint of gold . I have some brown eyeshadows with a reddish tone or is too coppery. This duo is one of my favorite eyeshadows, and it never fails. Never.

So that was my look. Now, my question is, do you guys wear eyeliner daily or only for special occasions? I'm curious to know.

Talk to you guys soon!!!!! :)

One more thing, the winner of the my Apothica/SkincareRX giveaway is Vintage Makeup! Congrats, beautiful!

NOW CLOSED.

I'm really liking how you tight-lined your bottom lash line. Very sexy!

Lisa said...

PINK DOMO!!! so cute :)!!

you look so pretty with the eyeliner it really makes your eyes pop!! so pretty :)

Kalmo said...

Dave and Busters! I always wanted to go to one and play games. :) I think you look gorgeous with eyeliner but I also think you are beautiful without it. Congratulations to the winner! Your skin looks great.

I think you look great with just eyeliner on!! it really makes your eyes pop. somehow it looks too heavy on me >_<

ShinyPrettyThings said...

you look great with eyeliner!!! i love eyeliner, it really creates such a nice definition =D

Amy said...

You should wear eyeliner everyday~! So pretty ^_^

Stephanie said...

I really like the BB skin foundation too. :)

Nunu said...

<3 eye liner and cannot live without it! People always ask me "are you tired?" if I don't wear it T.T
Haha the boy also recently won me my first Domo from one of those carnival games. He had fun beating all the babies at the games.

Jamilla Camel said...

I love Bobbi Brown foundations! It looks great on you! Love the hair.

Pammy said...

You look fab with eyeliner. It somewhat completes your whole look no matter how simple it is. Makes it prettier. :)

Jo said...

Are you good at those claw catcher machines? I don't quite like plush toys but i love the thrill of trying to catch one and eventually catching one.

You're really right about eyeliner. I like this eyelined look on you! I love how you tightline your waterline. It looks so defined yet not as harsh as a liquid liner. I can't see clearly how the Covergirl liner look. Is it those retractable tip kind?

Eyeliner is definitely my beauty saver. I'm currently not putting on any make up on the face due to a change in beauty regime. However, I would look very different w/o eye make up so I continued with them since technically they only constitute a small postion of skin and so eyeliner and mascara saved the day.

I realised that I've been commenting on your blog every now and then but have yet to follow you. Following you right now. =)

Georgina said...

your eyes look mesmerizing! @_@ i do like the way eyeliner transforms us into plain janes to gorgeous gals! :P its magic!

breakingrumours said...

you look good with lined eyes! a totally diff look,i guess this is more suitable for night time? :D

Isabel said...

omg I love eyeliner.. I think it really changes how a person looks (especially if you have small eyes)

Gloria said...

You're right, eyeliner makes a big difference. I love the au naturel no eyeliner look as well as with eyeliner. It's hard for me to do without it though because it makes my eyes smaller and I look... less awake haha. There's always the 'natural' eyeliner trick I guess, but I much prefer my liquid :D

You look great! and congrats to the winner

Amy said...

Burning ambition looks so pretty! *_* There is always more room in my collection for more browns heheheh.

mizzsandychau said...

Makeup and Mutts said...

I'm so happy I won! Thanks again lovely! :)

Btw I love your liner like this!! GORGEOUS!!

Stephanie C said...

You look great with lined eyes! I understand how it feels weird in the beginning. At first when I started wearing eyeliner I felt it was TOO bold, now I can't live without it!

Dale said...

Just found your blog and I totally know what you mean about eyeliner. It is fun to play around with it and I have to admit when I first started using it, I pretty much wear it every day now :) Great post, you have so much nice makeup. I want to try Bobbi Brown foundation soon.
Following you now

Popblush: Thank you! :)
Lisa: Thanks!
Kalmo: Thanks! :) You'll find D&B is highly addicting! LOL
Nic Nic: I'm sure you will look fabulous with eyeliner. You look good in everything! :)
Shiny Pretty Things: Aw, thanks :D

DSK: Yeah, love it! :)
Nunu: hahaha, it takes such shamelessness to beat the kids in games! I call it an advantage! LOL
Jamilla: Aw, thanks :D
Pammy: Thanks!
Jo: No, I am not good at those claw games, but I love it when they have cute stuff. I'm also not big on stuffed animals either but Domo! It's cute! Yeah, the eyeliner is retractable, although the retraction sucks. You can get it out but don't bother trying to twist it back in. It's one of the flaws, I guess :p
Georgina: Yes, def magic! LOL
breakingrumours: Yeah, nighttime is probably best. I wear glasses a lot so it tones it down :p
Isabel: Yeah, I agree!
Gloria: I'm experimenting with liquid too, but it's so sharp for me. I love the no eyeliner eyeliner look too :p
AmyBoo: Thanks! I really love browns too :D
mizzsandychau: Thank you!
Olivia: Thank you for the sweet words! :)You made my day, girly!
Alexis the Honey B: Thanks! Seems like everyone here is a Domo fan :p

Dale: Thank you for the sweet comment! I hope you get a chance to try BB foundation, you'll love it :D

OK that Pink Domo is too cute! I have friend with the brown one, I should see if she would like to donate it to you so that Pinky can have a friend! OK seriously that liner is the covergirl version that lasted 6 hrs? What am I doing buying clarins for $25 that is 'waterproof' pencil liner that smudges in like 3 hrs... Def will try this out, thank you for writing this post bc I've been searching for the perfect liner for over 10 yrs! You look gorgeous!

PinkOrchids said...

I love how you did your eyeliner!! xX

Mandy said...

I love how perfect your skin looks in these pictures. When eyeliner is the main part of a makeup look, perfect skin is the best compliment to it. I think I want a sample of that Bobbi Brown foundation!

Angie | Pandaphilia.com said...

dani@callitbeauty said...

hevn said...

Thanks for the advise :D
I recently bought Ecotools and I love love love them. I will keep an eye out for the Borghese ones but it's gonna be tough since we don't have that brand here. Will probably try to get them online

Let me know if you have other brushes you can recommend :D and thanks again!! <3

Steph said...

You look good! I like how the liner really defined your eyes. Sometimes I go out of the house with only eyeliner, mascara and lipstick on. Hihi

welldressedmaker said...

Pink Domo-kun! Oh how adorable! I love claw machines too!!! But I am not very good at them... I let my husband get me what I want, and recently, I'm really into the DC comics plush! I have 4 so far, but I want them all!

I know what you mean about eyeliner, dear. Sometimes, I feel that a look isn't complete WITHOUT eyeliner!

You look so fresh faced and awake :) I can't live without eyeliner. Even if I don't do a full face of makeup I'll have to put on eyeliner at the very least. It really opens up your eyes and makes them look more defined :)

Bravoe Runway said...

i'm obsessed with eyeliners! love how they make my eyes stand out!

Sharlynn said...

Your skin looks so flawless and glowing! The eyeliner definitely brings out your eyes nicely! I've yet to find a liner to use on my waterline that doesn't smudge after a full day...so I've resorted to mascara nowadays to satisfy my eye-defining make up cravings!

Jayme @ Her Late Night Cravings said...

I love your eyeliner! Just play around with them, there are so many options & ways that you can wear it. I'm so glad to see you love the Bobbi Brown foundation. I've been thinking about buying something Bobbi Brown soon (maybe a tinted moisturizer).

You have a great blog! We're now "following" and we'd love for you to visit our blog & do the same. Drop us a comment if you do!

Sweetie, I love your eye look, eye liners do wonder for the eyes, can't live without mine too.

o _ o My little sister just bought me a pink domo. I also have tiny original domo, ninja domo and domo purse.


On a makeup related note. I also love eyeliner. It's the one makeup related tool that I picked up young (the rest i'm catching up on.) It makes me feel so much more polished. I look completely different without it!

Unknown said...

i have the same pink domo! and eyeliner just completes the look! i hate how eyeliner just refuses to stay put though (i've tried everything!) so on most days when my days are long i use dark brown eyeshadow which works well for me! but i could never pull off black liner on my waterline, i look like a completely different person as well O_O and evil me... haha

Cinnabunnie said...

waaah! I've been wanting one of those HUGE domos >< You must be skilled at the claw game. My cousin and I went to Kaohsiung and we seriously lost $200NTD to those claws. Every time it picks something up, the claw would let go once it reaches the top. :S so sad haha

You're so pretty! I love the eyeliner on you :)

Thanks for dropping by my blog~ There was a star and moon carved into the pomelo too! My mom made the moon cakes with a mold. She has a Doraemon and a Micky Mouse mold as well ^.^

The Sneakerette said...

I love how you did that eyeliner. It looks great on you! My eyes look weird if I line all around it :<
