It’s been a while since I’ve updated on monolid makeup tips and the sorts. Well, I have a good one for you ladies out there who have been googling for help and stumbled across my humble little blog.

Last week, I dragged my sick ass to Pavilion to have a brief walk with my cousin. We ended up buat kecoh in a MAC counter. Luckily my cousin bought a decent amount of items else I’d think it’s unfair to leech information out of the nice cute guy there. ;)

This guy is talented AND friendly.

But before anything else, I need to RAVE about Mineralized Skin Finish, the Natural series. I ain’t no foundation girl because no matter how tarnished is my skin with all those pimple scars, hey it’s still mine. I feel like wearing a sheet of PVC over my face with liquid foundation, so I try to worm my way out using a little bit of concealer and some light powder.

MAC’s MSF are mostly used as bronzers and an all-over powder according to most people. But I had a keen interest on this wonder powder ever since reading some of the makeup blogger’s raving about it. I just needed a teeny bit of coverage to even out the places that I spot conceal. Hence, I requested the MAC artist to try it on me.

It. Was. LOVE!

Pardon the cat-like smile, I dunno what I’m doing lol.

You can vaguely see my acne scars, but that is hardly to matter, coz part of it was rubbed off accidentally during the application. If the concealer was freshly applied, your complexion is just oh wow.

The MSF went OVER my nearly washed out Estee Lauder blush and bronzing powder, yet my own vague pink flush is still visible. Now that’s what I love. It’s creepy to cover up whatever color you have with foundation and then slap on some fake pink tone daily. *Shudders*

Here’s a close-up picture for you to refer to when you’re attempting to draw a winged eyeliner, ladies. For monolid girls, ‘draw a thin line close to your eyelashes’ DOES NOT WORK!!!!!!11 Because our eyelids are pretty fatty compared to those with double eyelids, that’s why drawing a thin line across your eyelashes work in vain. Once you open your eyes, the line just disappears totally! Not sexy I tell you.

Wide open, and the wing effect is still visible yet does not make you like an opera singer. Might be too overwhelming for some girls though, that’s personal preference, can’t control it. *Shrugs*

Gals out there with keen eyes will also note that he contoured my eyes with nude colors. The result? A fake dimension to bring out the eyes. Cool huh? Will attempt my own version next time. Too busy to play with my eyeshadows lately. T.T

Here, a close-up picture of the area that you should put on the eyeliner.

For monolids, always remember the rule of thumb for eye makeup does not necessarily apply to us, so we need to make some changes so that it suits our special type of eyes. :D

Oh and! I found new love in nude lipstick. I finally know why I never love to put on lipstick… It’s because…
