DollFace Tutorial: Prom Makeup Look

Hey guys! I've been MIA the entire weekend because of an out of town trip. I had no stable internet connection.  I'm back with another tutorial using my DollFace 88 Color Eye Shadow Palette. Check out my first tutorial DollFace Palette: Purple Dreams. 

This is a simple makeup look for a high school prom. During our high school prom, we followed a color code where juniors wear pink while seniors wear blue. The dress I'm wearing in the photo is what I wore during my junior prom!  Kasya pa!

Scroll down if you want to see how I achieved the eye makeup!

These are the eye shadows that I used: silver shimmer eye shadow, purple matte eye shadow and black matte eye shadow. I chose a purple eye shadow because I think it compliments my pink dress well. A shimmery silver eye shadow is great for evening occasions, extra sparkly! A little black eye shadow helps in making the look extra dramatic.

I opted for a light pink lipstick for this look because a darker lip color would over power the entire look. Also, this makeup look is for a high school prom. I think a light pink lip color suits the occasion well. I used Ever Bilena's Off Beat Pink and topped it off with Sally Hansen's lip gloss.

You'll end up with something like this! See those shimmers? I love the shimmers on the silver eye shadow! I think shimmery eye shadows are perfect for evening occasions. 

One important thing about prom makeup is the foundation. Since prom is an evening occasion, flash photography is used. Don't use a foundation with SPF as it gives off a white cast. You don't want looking like Casper on your prom photos! Prom happens only twice a lifetime so look your best! 

You know what's my favorite part during my high school prom? Not the dancing but the eating part! <3 Make sure to bring your powder and lipstick for a quick retouch!

That's it for my prom makeup look! What do you think about this look? How did you look during your prom? Do you have any makeup dilemmas during your prom? Share your thoughts! I would love to hear from you!

Have a good day!

God bless!

Love,

What's inside my kikay kit?

  

Hello there! I will be sharing with you today my kikay kit. No matter how un-girly/boyish a girl is, I believe there's some sort of kikay item in her bag, probably a powder, comb, or lip balm. Every girl needs one! Whatever ends up in one's kit depends solely on her!

This is my zippered pouch made out of mesh which was given to me by my dear friend, Shaina. It has the attributes that I was looking for a kit - black, durable, easy to clean. I do not like a kit that is made up of cloth as it gets dirty easily. This requires little cleaning or none at all! Whenever there are makeup spills, I can just shake it off the material. I do not have a fear of getting this wet either as it's not absorbent. Thank you Shaina! This has been very useful to me. But but but, I think I'll be needing a bigger one! It's so full! I'll definitely buy the same kind, just bigger. This is available in SM Department Stores in different sizes.

Now for the contents!

. 

Fanny Serrano two-way cake in Organza (399php). There are lots of reviews and raves about this already. I leave it up to other beauty bloggers.The product is truthful to the reviews made by beauty bloggers, no kidding.

Top to bottom: ELF eye shadow brush, Marionnaud N°38 brush (slanted brush+spooly), white cheapo eyeliner, The Face Shop retractable lip brush, Nichido waterproof black eyeliner, Ever Original eyebrow pencil in brown and Ever Bilena eye pencil in brown. 

I house this pencils in a clear resealable plastic that came with my Marionnaud brush. I use the 2 Ever Bilena pencils to do my brows. I prefer pencils over brow powder/gel. So much easier to use.

Shawill Showcase Blusher in Dreamy Rose (99php). I am a fan of coral/peachy shades. I don't use pink blushers. Just doesn't suit me. This blush on is very pigmented, a little is enough to give you a pop of color! This will definitely last long. Very matipid.

Shawill Mono Eyeshadow (69php) #006 which I use for contouring. I think this is too dark for me. Like the blusher, this is also very pigmented!

Retractable Kabuki Brush (90php).Of course, my favorite brush! I love, love, love this! See my post here about this amazing brush. Note: This is not an authentic MAC brush, I got this from Divisoria (just when will I ever be able to afford a MAC product?)

Concealer (25php) You might laugh at me for having this product. Haha! This is really cheap. I'm not into concealer yet and I rarely use this. I use this in highlighting my nose line. 

Liquid eyeliner (20php) another cheapo product from China. It's just too cute! It works well too-great staying power! I just don't like its shiny finish. 

Maybelline Lash Stiletto (249php) Not so crazy about mascaras yet.

I love lipsticks! Of all kinds of makeup, I find myself addicted to lipsticks the most. I only have a few since I'm just new to the makeup craze. These are the ones I bring everyday.

Ever Bilena Matte Lipstick in Off Beat Pink (148php) I've heard and read that before, matte lipsticks from EB are only 125php. Too bad, I only discovered how great EB matte lipsticks are now. But, I can still say that this is still sulit for the price.

Also a matte lipstick from Ever Bilena. Scarlet is a nice shade of orangey-red! I haven't cleaned this up yet so, no picture! Haha

 In 2 it Moisture Intense Lipstick in Orange Juice (379php) As I have said, I love peach/coral/orange shades! This one is soooo orange and highly pigmented. I &HEARTS; IT! Great staying power too. Kinda costly but definitely worth it.

Ever Bilena Pro Longwear Lipstick in Destiny (158php) Another lipstick from EB! This doesn't have a matte finish. Very moisturizing and long-lasting unlike the EB matte lipsticks. 

Swatches from L-R: In2it in Orange Juice, Ever Bilena Pro Longwear in Destiny, Ever Bilena Matte Lipstick in Scarlet and Off Beat Pink

Swatches from L-R: In2it in Orange Juice, Ever Bilena Pro Longwear in Destiny, Ever Bilena Matte Lipstick in Scarlet and Off Beat Pink

Sally Hansen Natural Shine Lip Gloss I'm not into lip gloss that's why I only have one. I love pairing this with my EB Off Beat Pink since it very drying. 

Last but definitely not the least, my HG lip balm from Burt's Bees (395php)! I looooooove this so much especially the after-gum feeling. So minty and cooling!

That's all for my Kikay Kit! 

God bless!
