Yesterday, my friend Tair and I went to High Street to meet with event stylist Jo Claravall. She was gorgeous! :P After the meeting, we texted Cams to meet us up (her office was just upstairs).
When she arrived, one of her first words were, "It's our Christmas party, I'm a pirate. Cuz (Tair), do my make up!" hahahaha Tair and I momentarily went blank cos somehow the words didn't register. Then Tair said "Huh, I'm not confident enough to do it on someone else! Ask Be (me)!"
And I was still in my momentary blankness then I said, "Are you serious? Do you have palletes? Brushes?" Then Cams goes, "Uhm... Meron konti. (I have a few)" Then I went on blabbering, "Why didn't you tell us? We could have bought our stuff.. yadayadayada"
Anyway, without any tools but for cotton buds, my only retractable brush and my fingertip, I still went on to do her make up. As for the stuff that I used, I really can't go into details cos I don't remember them anymore. hahaha
But here they were:
1. Tair's Lancome pallete (I dunno what it's called) but I used the shimmery gold shadow in the palette.
2. an unsharpened Body Shop concealer pencil (hahaha!)
3. an unsharpened black eyeliner
4. A mascara that Cams borrowed from her officemate
5. We were able to borrow a sharpener and an Eyelash curler :)
6. some Chanel palettes that Cams brought with her.
The stuff that we used from my kit:
1. NYX Jumbo eye pencil in Milk
2. Black Brown Nichido Eye pencil
3. Avon Smooth Mineral Foundation in Sand Beige
4. ELF Blush in Tickled Pink
5. Venus and Mars Smooch Lip Butter Balm
6. Ulta Lipgloss in Mischief
7. Retractable face brush
First, I had her wash and moisturize her face. (Normally, before I start anything I usually put on my primer. But since we didn't have one with us....)
Then I applied concealer to hide her dark spots, broken capillaries, dark undereyes and redness around the nose area using cotton buds then blending it in using my finger tips. Then I applied foundation all over her face and neck using the only brush that I had. hehehe I was careful with the amount and had to blend it in thoroughly cos her shade is a bit darker than mine and I didn't want to make her look too white.
I contoured her brows using Nichido Eye pencil in Black brown. Blending it with an angled contour brush that Tair found in her bag at the last minute. hahaha
I dabbed NYX Jumbo eye pencil in Milk on her lower eyelid and on the brow bone area for highlight. I smudged and blended it in using my fingertips so that it would cover her entire lid but made sure that the brow bone area was still highlighted. Now, because we didn't have black eyeshadow on any of the palettes, what I did was first line her lid with black eyeliner then smudged it. Again, using my finger tips. I didn't want to use cotton buds cos it would only erase what I already had on there. After that I dabbed on some matte grey color on her outer lids. Blend, blend, blend away. Then some shimmery gold in her inner lid, blend, blend, blend. then a teeny bit of silver on the upper lid, blend again. Lastly, I dabbed a bit of the gold on the balls of her eyes and the inner side near the nose bridge (I forgot what it's called! hahaha). I lined the half of her waterline with NYX eye pencil and over that black eye pencil. Drawing only a thin line starting from the inside then thickening it as you go out. On her eyelid I did the same only a bit thicker to create that heavy lined look. I got a bit of help from Tair in winging out that line. I was having a hard time cos I'm left handed. hehehe I made sure that the lower and upper line met at the side.
I brushed under her eyes to remove any scatters of eyeshadow. Then applied a thin layer of foundation again just to make sure she has enough coverage for the whole night. To highlight her cheekbones and nose bridge, since we didn't have a bronzer, I used a peachy-goldish-coppery-shimmery eyeshadow from one of the Chanel palettes. A girl's gotta do what a girl's gotta do hahahaha Sweeping that up from under her eyes and over her cheekbones, going up to her temple and some on her jawline. And the sides of her nose bridge to give it a little lift and highlight. To put some color on her cheeks, I brushed it up with my ELF blush. Concentrating on the apples of her cheeks but try to spread a little on the other parts of her face too.
For her lips, I used my V&M butter balm as primer then applied ULTA lip gloss all over her lips.
There you have it :)
In the first picture, that was Tair's hand doing Cam's hair. I was already lounging on the chair eating my Meiji Black. hahaha
I know this look isn't Pirate-y but hey, we didn't have the time or resources to be creative. hahaha but it looks really good on photo ops (Which is what really matters hahaha) Plus, I heard she got a lot of compliments for her make up and even got to have her picture taken with her crush. For that, she owes us dinner. :P hahaha!
This would be great for a dinner date, a wedding look, girls night out and such. Or, you can be really bold and try wearing it even in the day time! :)
Despite the fact that we didn't any tools and our stuff was incomplete, not bad huh? :P
