Make-up maketh a person
I wished I knew about makeup earlier. I wished I understood how makeup maketh a person. I wished that I had all that makeup knowledge during my teens. Maybe then I wouldn't have felt so crap about myself. There were days back then when looking at mirror, all I saw was the reflection of an 'ugly girl' in front of me... There were days when I bursted into tears. There were days where I couldnt cope with seeing my reflection in mirror. Those were the days... I now understand that no one is born perfect. Make-up. Photoshop. Styling. These factors all contributes to the end product. Helena Reubeinstein was right, 'There is no such thing as an ugly woman, only a lazy one...' Above is the first makeup video I ever watched... CL2425 is still one of my all-time favourite makeup gurus along with BeautyQQ, Ava, Isadora Cheng... It is still one of my all-time favourite looks perfect for the everyday daytime look...

Trouble Maker
A very seductive and sexy MV clip... Love the beat. Love the whistling. Love the choreography. Hyuna's makeup is stunning- I'm absolutely enamoured with smoky eyes at the moment- have only tried neutral brown smoky eyes... Am going to try Hyuna's grey smoky eye with my CK grey ES once back in Sydney.

Wish List
One of the most vivid memories I have as a child is seeing my mother apply her makeup on. I actually never started with makeup till I was 22 years old- 4th year of uni. Primarily due to laziness and my lack of makeup skill. I was introduced to makeup via the form of Missha BB cream- touted as a multi-tasking miracle cream with anti-aging and whitening properties. (Unfortunately, it did not agree with my skin and resulted in cosmetic acne)
I then began my quest for my holy grail foundation: for the time being, I am using Kate's 2 way pact applied with a kabuki brush. But I also rotate between Dr G and Clinique's BB cream as well (BB creams are an ass to use due to the fact I have to do double cleansing)
I am looking forward to jazzing up my makeup routine: I was recently inspired by Goo Jyun Pyo mother's smoky eye (which is a very sophisticated smoky eye perfect for Asian eyes), Cube and Park blogger's lined eyes and geisha red lips. Cannot wait to get to Sydney and do the look above: Narsha's orange eyes!!!
Have also learnt a new makeup technique called crease eye- LOVE!!!Cannot wait to try it out... Unfortunately, because I am now in Dubbo and do not have my full makeup kit with me... Sighs. I think for my next rural term at Broken Hill- I'm going to stick with BB cream, I find that the 2 way pact just slides off... My full makeup routine is actually on hiatus- I'm trying to get away with as little as possible e.g. concealer, foundation, eyebrows, lip tint...
Usual make up routine: (after skincare!!!)
- Majorica Majolica's skin lingerie pore cover (what a seductive name- skin lingerie... the only reason I bought it)
- Lip balm
- Kate's 2 way pact
- Highlight with MAC pearl cream color base on nose bridge
- Shu Uemura's blush in P Pink 30
- Etude House Cherry lip tint in pink
- Eyeliner
- Draw in my eyebrows
- Set with SANA CG face powder
Wish list for Xmas:
- Clarisonic
- Shiseido White Lucent range
- Coffret D'or BB cream

The Crow
If the people we love are stolen from us, the way to have them live on is to never stop loving them. Buildings burn, people die, but real love is forever.
- The Crow (1994)

Cleansing cream
Absolutely love the makeup on the album cover but love the song even more:
Cleansing Cream
Hangul
아파, 아파 다쳐버린 맘이 많이 많이
oh my honey, honey, baby 어떻게 해야 하죠
온종일 미친 듯이 놀고 와선 짙은 화장을 지우죠
이런다고 다 잊혀질까요
참 못나게도 반쯤 지워져 버린 두 볼에
반쯤 지워져 버린 내 입술 위에 흘린 눈물이 클렌징크림에 녹아요
정말 왜요, 왜요, 왜죠 언니 이 까만 밤이 새도록
그 녀석 하나 지워내지 못하고
왜요, 왜요, 왜죠 언니 내 검게 번진 눈물로
못내 잊었다며 우겨대는 말 이젠 bye, bye
나 어떡하죠, 언니 이젠 잠들고 싶은데
내 맘은 자꾸 그 녀석한테 달려가네요
어쩌죠, 언니 나 이대론 안 될 것만 같아
부탁해, 딱 한잔만 나와 마셔줄래요 부탁해 언니
Have you ever been in love?
Have you ever really loved?
사랑, 남들은 너무 쉬워
하지만 내겐 지워지지 않는 문신 같아, 또 잔을 비워
오늘은 나와 정말 사귀자던 멋진 남자도 있었죠 근데 자꾸 그 녀석이 보여
못나게도 그 자릴 뛰쳐 나왔죠 정말 못나게도 어쩔 수 없었죠
예쁜 화장이 무슨 소용 있나요
정말 왜요, 왜요, 왜죠 언니
(그런 녀석 따위 하나를 여태 잊지 못했고 무심한 기억 저편에 모두 지워
그 아이는 이미 나를 잊은 것 같다고)
왜요, 왜요, 왜죠 언니 내 검게 번진 눈물로 못내 잊었다며 우겨대는 말 이젠 bye, bye
왜요, 왜요, 왜요
어떡하죠, 언니 이젠 잠들고 싶은데
내 맘은 자꾸 그 녀석한테 달려가네요
어쩌죠, 언니 나 이대론 안 될 것만 같아 부탁해, 딱 한잔만 나와 마셔줄래요
부탁해 언니 나하고 파티를 해요 아직 난 내 화장을 지우긴 싫어 부탁해, 언니
아파, 아파 다쳐버린 맘이 많이, 많이
oh my honey, honey, baby 어떻게 해야 하죠

It hurts, it hurts – my closed heart – a lot, a lot
Oh my honey, honey baby – what do I do?
After playing like crazy all day, I erase my thick makeup
Will I forget by being like this?
Looking quite miserable, on top of my half-erased cheeks
On top of the half-erased lipstick,
The fallen tears melt with the cleansing cream
Why, why, why, unni?
All throughout the night, why can’t I forget him?
Why, why, why, unni?
With my blackened and smeared tears, I can’t forget him
And I stubbornly say, bye, bye
* What do I do, unni? I want to sleep now
But my heart keeps running to him
What to do, unni? I don’t think I can go on like this
Please, can you have a drink with me? I ask of you, unni
Have you ever been in love?
Have you ever really loved?
Love – for others it’s so easy
But for me, it’s like an unerasable tattoo
I empty my glass again
Today, there was a really great guy who asked me out
But I kept seeing him
I stupidly ran out from that place,
I stupidly couldn’t do anything
What’s the use of pretty makeup?
Why, why, why, unni?
(Why can’t I forget this one guy for all this time
Unintentional memories get erased in the far distance
He already forgot about me)
Why, why, why, unni?
With my blackened and smeared tears, I can’t forget him
And I stubbornly say, bye, bye
Why, why, why
* repeat
Please party with me
I don’t want to erase my makeup yet
I ask of you, unni
It hurts, it hurts – my closed heart – a lot, a lot
Oh my honey, honey baby – what do I do?
