[Sponsored Post] Beauty Destination by L'Oreal Paris Singapore - Katniss Everdeen inspired look.

Hey lovelies! How are you guys doing?

I am still struggling with my new job, trying to adapt as soon as possible. So yeah, that's my excuse for not updating. BUT ANYWAY..... that's not the point for today's post. My point is, I'm back again for my 3rd L'Oreal Paris Singapore, topic of the month!

This month's topic is to re-create Katniss Everdeen look from The Hunger Games, Catching Fire. Right at the perfect timing, you can consider creating this look for the coming Halloween! Trust me, its actually quite easy to create! Especially with the 1st MARKER PEN LINER, SUPERLINER BLACKBUSTER!!

Lots of good stuff to be shared today and nuff said, here is my step by step to create my version of Katniss Everdeen look~  ^___^v



1] Using L'Oreal Paris Color Infaillible - 002 Hourglass Beige
Apply all over your eyelids right under your brows.

2] Using L'Oreal Paris Color Riche Quad eyeshadow - S4 Tropical Tutu / Col 3 (green)
Layer over and blend with the beige, covering half of your lids.

3] Using L'Oreal Paris Color Riche Quad eyeshadow - E1 Beige Trench / Col 1 (grey)
Blend the grey gradually from your lash line upwards.

4] Using L'Oreal Paris Color Riche Quad eyeshadow - E5 Velours Noir / Col 1 (darkest grey / black)
Blend in from the outer corners of your eyelids creating a sharp "C" shape.

5] Line your inner corners of the waterline white.

6] Using L'Oreal Paris SUPERLINER BLACKBUSTER
Create a sleek dark line on your lash line and "wing" up. The more exaggerating it is, the better it is for Halloween. Also create a sleek line covering about 1/3 of your bottom outer lash line.

I love how the marker pen liner glides smoothly during the application! And look~ curve and neat lines could be created even though I'm not a pro on make-up!! So beginners fret not, this shall be your first eye liner and I'm sure you will love it. Most importantly, ITS SMUDGE PROOF!!! Wheeeeee so no issue if you are out the whole day~ You will not have the "dark circles" after a day out!


7] Stick crystals with your eyelash glue!

8] And don't forget your falsies that has more and longer lash towards the outer lid. This will create a more "wing" out effect!


Lastly, Katniss look emphasis on her eye area therefore light pink cheeks and nude lips would be the best to compliment the heavy eye details~


I'm using L'Oreal Paris Lucent Magique - Blush of light glow palette which will be launched next month. I'm super privileged to be one of the first few to try it out~ And it's soooo awesome! The brush is so smooth and the palette came in 3 pink shades. It just blended very well together when applied.


Plus, its one of the blusher that has a mirror! #convenience

Not forgetting the nude lips to complete the look~


Here, I'm using L'Oreal Paris Heart of Pearls - 602 Chestnut & Chic. You can read more review about this lippie I posted previously HERE.


AND NOW I PRESENT THE FINISH LOOK!!!!




SWEE BO?


I'm actually quite satisfied with my eyeliner because basically, I don't use liquid liner or more like I DO NOT KNOW HOW~ LOL. So when I first tried this Marker pen Liner, I'm so shocked! Because it can create a different thickness of lines, when I thought it's gonna be thick! No fret newbies, it is VERY EASY TO CONTROL!
