[Review] Creer Beaute Eyeliners

Saturday, 20 September 2014

The much raved and most awaited Japanese Anime makeup line, CreerBeaute, famous for its Versailles (based on a manga called The Rose of Versailles) and Sailor Moon series of makeup products are now available at selected Watsons stores in Singapore! Now you no longer have to travel all the way to Japan to get them ;)

Pretty eyeliners! They were so pretty that I almost couldn't bear to use them! :/

♥♥♥

Here are the swatches, prices and reviews!

♥♥♥

(Miracle Romance Sailor Moon Series)
Top to Bottom:
Miracle Romance Star Power Prism Lameliner Red
Miracle Romance Star Power Prism Lameliner Orange Gold
Miracle Romance Star Power Prism Lameliner Green
Miracle Romance Star Power Prism Lameliner Blue
Miracle Romance Star Power Prism Liquidliner Brown
Miracle Romance Star Power Prism Liquidliner Black
Miracle Romance Star Power Prism Pencilliner White

Miracle Romance Star Power Prism Lameliner retails at $24.70 each and is available in Red, Orange Gold, Green and Blue. I don't think I will wear the red, orange and green ones as those aren't really my favorite colors. But... I love the blue one! Also for some strange reason, it was the most pigmented and smooth gliding one in the lot!  Btw, these are twist up liquid liners. I tend to over twist and end up having too much product on the brush! However, this problem can be easily solved by first brushing the product on the back of my hand before dapping and applying them onto my eyelids ;)

Miracle Romance Star Power Prism Liquidliner retails at $24.70 each and is available in Brown and Black. I would say these eyeliners go on really light. Above swatches done in one swipe - the brown looks like a light brown and the black looks like a dark brown. I think it might be cause Japanese prefer brown eyeliners as they give a more natural and not too harsh look! They do look more opaque when two coats are applied though! So I guess you have the option of having a lighter or darker look! The eyeliners are specially designed with a 0.1mm fine tip so you can actually draw a super thin line but they did feather a lil when I tried drawing a mega thin line. Drew a normal thin line on my eyelid and it went on very smoothly without feathering. I like how these eyeliners give a soft and natural look!

Miracle Romance Star Power Prism Pencilliner in White retails at $18.50 each. It has a creamy texture and glides rather on well. It is ideal for lining the waterline to open up your eyes or to be used to create “aegyo-sal”!

♥♥♥

(The Rose of Versailles Series)
Top to Bottom:
La Rose de Versailles Pencil Eyeliner Black
Lady Oscar Liquid Eyeliner Black

Lady Oscar Liquid Eyeliner is available in Black and Royal Brown and retails at $20.50 each. They won champion at the Japan Beauty award @ Cosme for 2 years consecutively, 2010 & 2011! These eyeliners have a 0.1mm fine tip as well and they didn't feather as much as the Sailor Moon ones! Also, they go on much more pigmented! On top of that, they dry really fast!

La Rose de Versailles Pencil Eyeliner is available in Black and Brown and retails at $22.60 each. I love this eyeliner! It's really smudge proof and waterproof. I ran my whole arm under running tap water and some were waterproof but the moment I rubbed my arm, all others melted except for this! This eyeliner was the only one that stayed sort of intact for quite a bit of rubbing though it did gradually fade away. It glides on really smoothly and the color payoff is really good, very pigmented.

♥♥♥

I played a lil did a morning to night makeup with these eyeliners!
So here's a short tutorial ;)

Products used: Miracle Romance Star Power Prism Liquidliner in Brown + Mascara

A clean and simple look paired with a my-lips-but-better or a neutral pink or coral lipstick for the day makeup! As you can see, I managed to draw a very thin line with this eyeliner! This is sort of like a no-makeup makeup look? ;)

Products used: Miracle Romance Star Power Prism Lameliner Blue + Lady Oscar Liquid Eyeliner Black + Miracle Romance Star Power Prism Pencilliner White

To transit to the night makeup look, I applied a couple of things over the day makeup look! As the Lady Oscar eyeliner was much more pigmented, I was able to use it to create a more striking eyeliner. In order to add some fun colors to the look, I added a layer of blue eyeliner on top of the black eyeliner and to make my eyes look brighter, I added a line of white eyeliner at the bottom lash line. Then I paired this look with a red/plum-ish (it was a failed dark red ombre lips, i had wanted the corners to look darker) lip color. If you want to pump up this look further, you can throw on a pair of falsies, and do a smokey eye look before layering the blue eyeliner ;)

That's all for this post!
Hope you enjoyed reading the reviews and the simple day to night makeup tutorial ;)

Make Up For Ever - Make Up School @ Ngee Ann City + Tutorial

Thursday, 20 March 2014

I'm back with another post!
Here's one for Make Up For Ever.
P.S Their makeup products took the place of my past go-to-products!
My current go-to-products are mostly from Make Up For Ever.
Continue reading to know why ;)

Note: Those text with hyperlinks are links to reviews I did in the past.

♥♥♥

Let's start with my make up lesson at Make Up For Ever's MAKE UP SCHOOL!
I went to the outlet at Ngee Ann City for a one hour lesson on basic/everyday look makeup. 

Make Up For Ever has their own separate area at Ngee Ann City Sephora.

Lesson/makeover area.

All the cleaning stuffs for you to remove whatever dirt/makeup you have on your face.
Also, there are disposable sponges and even mascara applicator!
So you don't have to worry that you have to use what others used before. Hygienic right?

A make up profile for you to record the steps that you did and products used.

I didn't write anything on the booklet myself cause Amber help me do all of those!
She helped me fill up some stuffs after each part. Eg. Face, Eye, Lips. So sweet of her right?
P.S Amber is one of MUFE's Make Up Artiste.

Now I will list all the products I used on my face that day!
In-between I will also slot in a couple of reviews :)
And I will have a tutorial at the end (using most of these products).


First Photo: All the basics for a flawless skin!
Left to Right:
1. HD Elixir (to hydrate your skin)
2. All Mat Primer (matifying base)
3. HD Primer (green to color correct skin redness)
4. HD Foundation
5. HD Invisible Cover Concealor
6. HD Microfinish Powder

Second Photo: Contouring!
Right side Top to Bottom:
1. Powder Blush
2. Contour Kit

Your make up artiste will help you choose your shades and products suited for your skin.
Then you will be taught how to make use of these products to achieve flawless smooth skin!
Eg. when concealing, dap the concealor directly on problem areas then spread out the corners.
Here you will also learn how to use coutour powder and blush to make your face look slimmer!

[Review: HD Primer in Green]

The green primer may look a lil scary but...
it's actually just a light hint of green to cancel out the redness on the skin!

[Review: HD Invisible Concealor]

Got to try a new concealor and I would say this has a medium coverage.
If I have really huge pimples, this won't be able to cover them.
This is where I will recommend MUFE Full Cover Concealor! My fav!
But still I love how this concealor is light weight and almost "invisible" looking.

[Review: HD Foundation]

Love how light weight this foundation is.
It give medium to full coverage and is buildable :)
They have lots of shades available. You are bound to find you exact match!

[Review: HD Microfinish Powder]

Love how MUFE packaged their powder.
It has this soft sifter so you won't have to pour out the powder and make a mess out of it ;)
I know some of you ladies are worried if it will leave a white cast.
The thing is... don't apply too much. Just a think layer will do.
I used this many times and even took photos under flash and yupps no white cast :)
This product is light, mattifies and leaves the skin smooth.


For natural looking eyes!
1. Eyeshadow
2. Eye Brow Pencil
3. Aqua Eyes Eyeliner

P.S I realized I forgot to take photo of most of the eye products used.
Anyways, I'm using similar shades of eyeshadows in the tutorial later.
Here I was taught how to create a natural everyday eye look.

[Review: Aqua Eyes Eyeliner]
I can use it to draw thin/thick lines.
P.S I didn't sharpen the eyeliner before drawing the thin line.
Rubbed my wrist till it turned red and it only faded a lil, no smudges at all!
Washed it under water and it was still intact too, no smudges :)


Pretty pink lips!
Left to Right:
1. Lip Gloss
2. Rouge Artist Intense Lipstick
3. Aqua Lip Water Proof Lipliner


A photo with Amber!
Amber did the left side of my face for me while I did the right.
That's how you slowly learn step by step ;)
Thank you Amber for teaching me new make up tips!

Above is the brochure for MUFE's MAKE UP SCHOOL!
The one which I attended is the 75mins complete make up lesson.

♥♥♥

Now time for a Make Up Tutorial!

All the products used for this tutorial!
Most of which are my current go to makeup products.

I will be listing the products used in each step.
Will also do a couple of reviews along the way :)


Step 1: Prime the face + Conceal blemishes
Products used: HD Primer in Green + HD Invisible concealor

Step 2: Apply foundation on the whole face
(I like to apply excess foundation on my lips so it acts as a lip concealor too)
Product used: HD Foundation

Step 3: Contour and highlight the nose
You can also use it to contour your forehead and jawline for a looking slimmer face!
Product used: Contour Kit

P.S I didn't use any blush here. Will have a separate post for the blush! ;)

I don't have MUFE's brow pencil with me.
Did my brow using the method Amber taught me :)
Line 1 is where the brow should start.
Line 3 is where the brow should end.
Line 2 is where the curve should be.



Step 1: Fill the whole lid "Metallic Taupe" eyeshadow

Step 2: Use "Espresso" eyeshadow on the outer 1/3 of the eye
(I applied the same eyeshadow near the lash line too)

Step 3: Apply on the "Gold Pink" eyeshadow below the

Step 4: Draw a thin line near the upper lash line
Product used: Aqua Eyes Eyeliner

Step 5: Line the lower waterline
Product used: Aqua Eyes Eyeliner

Step 6: Apply mascara on both upper and lower lashes



Step 1: Conceal your lips
(Optional: line your lips using a lip pencil)

Step 2: Apply a light pink shade (N21 Natural) on the lips

Step 3: Apply a dark pink shade (37 Intense) to the center of
the lips, for a smooth gradient effect use your fingers to blend
