Of Fake Chinky Eyes and Full Red Lips and My New Journal

 Good day, Ladies!

As promised, I made an FOTD about how I wore my Chinita EOTD with red lips.

If you haven't seen the post yet, it's about lining your eyes in a way that it would look elongated and less round.

 This picture was taken early in the morning before school which started at 7am.

Still sleepy.

I do love what makeup can do to my face. At least it makes me feel that I still look human. I do look like a walking zombie without it.

That's what my eyes look like now without the makeup!! Those dark circles and those puffy eye bags... and look at those red veins showing all over the white areas of my eyes! EEEK!

I've been so stressed with all the things I do for my thesis. I barely have sleep, my eyes are all red  and my body is always sore. Not to mention the large amount of money I've spent getting my illustrated book printed, getting my collaterals made so I have my prototypes and also getting my ads printed as well.

 To get some stress off, I bought a cute sketch pad. 

Drawing is my passion. It makes me feel relaxed when I have the chance to pour my creativity on a paper. ♥

 I also personalized it. It was only a big pink sketch book when I bought it. I was fine with it at first but I was annoyed because it tends to get dirty quickly. So I covered it with cute flower patterned paper! :P

And for my first sketch -- a self portrait! Haha! 

Still vain as always!

I also put some quotations that I find helpful to myself during the time I was doing a sketch.

And it just made me realize that I should make that sketchpad a 'visual' journal. I sketch and put certain words or sayings that mean a lot to me. 

I've already done another sketch and it's regarding my thesis. Can't post it yet though. I haven't uploaded anything about my thesis just yet!

Cheers,

DAWN

EOTD: Chinita Eyes

 Kung Hei Fat Choi!!!

It's the year of the black water dragon!

Our fridge is filled with Tikoy! Haha!

And since it's the week of the Chinese new year, I decided to make my eyes look like a chinita's (hey, i do have like... 1/8 Chinese in me).

I know a lot are obsessing on making their eyes appear bigger and rounder, but that's just not my style. Hahaha. I like experimenting and here's what my eyes looked like today:

 Tadaaaaa!!! 

How did I do it? It's simple!

 Using a liquid liner, I lined my top lash line but starting at the center outwards. I didn't put any on the inner corners of my eyes because it would just make my eyes look rounder.

And I used a black pencil liner and also lined my waterline but I also stopped at the half of my eyes. I used neutral toned matte eye shadows. :)

 And since it's me, It has to be thick. I like thick liners. But this also works with thinly applied liners. :P

And check out my lashes! They are super long and not clumped together. 

It's all thanks to my new mascara -- Max Factor False Lash Effect.

I'm super in-love with it!
Gonna make a review about it soon so stay tuned!

Cheers,

DAWN
