DollFace Tutorial: The Ombre Trend
Here's another eye makeup tutorial using my DollFace Palette. Review here..
I've noticed that my DollFace 88 Color Eyeshadow palette has so many greens! I was surprised how these green eyeshadows are so pigmented. Especially the first color, apple green. I used the first and third color from the left and a black eye shadow for this look.
I've changed the format of my tutorial. Instead of individual pictures, I grouped them into four. I think it will be easier this way. What do you think?
1. Apply an eye shadow base/primer for eye shadow colors to appear well. I used a creamy white eyeliner as base.
2. If you want a clean edge, apply a tape. Pat apple green e/s over the lids up to the inner corner.
3. Pat green e/s on the middle area of the lids.
4. Blend outwards. Avoid getting the green e/s on the inner 1/3 of the lids.
5. Pat a little black e/s on the outer corners. Blend inwards. Take note that you only need a LITTLE amount of black e/s. Avoid the middle and inner area of the lids.
6. Remove tape.
7. Apply eyeliner on your upper lash line. I opted for a sexy wing tip! Apply white eyeliner on the waterline.
8. Add falsies!
I also did an ombre lip color to match with my ombre eye shadow. I used a brown Aido lipstick, NYX Soft Matte Lip Cream in London and a concealer!
Hope you try out this fun and easy makeup look!

Non-Heat Deep Waves
Keyti of Brushes and Pens shared Bubz of Bubzbeauty's video on how to create curls without heat. Check out her post here! The process looked pretty easy so I gave it a try!
Instead of letting it up for two hours, I had it overnight. Here are the results!
Here is how it looked like upon removing the elastics. As opposed to loose curls produced by Bubz, I had tight curls because I let it on overnight instead of just two hours. I'm quite surprised with the pointed curls. They're in zigzag form! I'm used to the typical round curls produced by curling irons.
*Pardon the unfilled brows!
The photo on the left is when I just had it down while the photo on the right is how my hair looked like after almost 8 hours. The curls stayed longer than I expected! I didn't apply any hair product (mousse/gel/hairspray) for the curls to stay put.
Have you tried any non-heat curling techniques yet? Share your thoughts below!
Have a good night!

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,
Iya

DollFace Tutorial: Purple Dreams
Hi! I decided to come up with a series of different looks using my DollFace 88 color eye shadow palette. See review here. I want to use all of the colors as much as I can and come up with different looks. I am really enjoying my palette that's why I'm sharing tutorials with you too! I hope I can do this regularly!
I applied a tape for that crisp and sharp finish!
The purple color on my left lid came entirely out of blending pink and blue together while the purple color on my right lid was intensified by adding a purple eye shadow.
I used NYX round lipstick in Hot Pink and topped it off with the same pink eye shadow I used on my lids! I'm loving how the eye shadow turned it so bright and matte. Now it looks like NYX Soft Matte Lip Cream in Addis Ababa.
Ta-dah! You're good to go! Easy-peasy right?
Would you wear something as bright as this? What do think of my first tutorial? What better name for this look could you suggest? I'm not really creative in naming looks. I would love to hear your comments! I'm open to constructive criticisms too. I hope this helps!
Good night!
God bless!
