Why do we airbrush?



We airbrush our make up nowadays...we airbrush because it feels lighter on our skin and faster to use than regular make up. And pictures are more vivid and sharper due to hi-technology, pores are seen--- naturally. Evey pore.Every mole.Every scar.So what do we do?Of course, if we want to appear as flawless as possible,we cover them but without letting our gadgets see what is really underneath.Even our cellular phones can detect that flaw. We turn everything into an art but a form that no one else can see but you.It's our secret. And the secret lies to the artist that controls the airbrush.


Sorry for the funny face! But this is the skin after it has been airbrushed! By the way, I applied a little concealer under my eyes and I just saw it just now that a part of it was not properly concealed=( Oh well...I hope it aint too obvious....haha...

Still, you can see the freckles but slightly covered.You don't really cover them! They should appear naturally=) Even the deep scars... they don't really disappear but if you do, have another layer of that airbrush foundation! Or cover that spot dramatically until you are happy with the results.
Having flawless skin by using airbrush is a really big thing but we don't want to appear as if we have brushed a mask on our face. Colors should match altogether just like regular make up. Every pore will be covered with airbrush at the same time it must look natural.




I have done this to my eye many times...I have airbrushed my eyebrows using stencils. In this picture, I created smoky eyes.I used matte brown, gold shimmer, white shimmer and copper shimmer with a little of matte black for contour.All in airbrush liquid forms that comes in small bottles.I never used dry eyeshadow powders in this picture.I applied mascara last.


But of course! I cannot airbrush the eyeliner due to difficulty and I was afraid it might hurt my eye . I cannot control my peeking so I just used a normal liquid eyeliner with a very fine tip.


I think it looked good. I didn't even use a brush to blend it.I only used the airbrush gun for blending.Controlling it with a very low pressure.

I will explain more next time...=)

New powder foundation discovery!

I have been searching for my new powder foundation as Kate Tokyo discontinued my fave😞(see the black case) Sorry for the ugly dirty case as it was stuck inside my drawer for a long time.Anyway, a friend told me about SilkyGirl make up! She told me it's really making her look flawless! Which I think it is! I bought my own powder foundation at Robinson's Galleria and oh,wow, my friend was right! I don't even need to use concealer. I know some people prefer to use liquid but I tend to use matte powder foundation because it gives me that polish and clean look.  I chose the cute Magic BB Oil-Control Pure Fresh Powder All-In-One because I don't have to use any concealer.  Comes in a small cute plastic case that fits perfectly in my palm. It has SPF 45 which says:  Shine-free Matte finish Long wearing Fragrance-free Formulated for Asia Skin I got the number  01- Fair because of the yellowish and light tone. Will post pics when my skin adjusted to my natural color... I'm s...

It's been a long time...

 Oh my, it's been a long time since I have last posted something about work... and I think it has been a year already to be exact!  Anyway, I won't make any promises but I will really try my very best to post works more often and perhaps share more about what ladies often want to learn more. Even the men can join too.  And to share some more today, I almost gave up being a make up artist! Probably one of the reasons why is because, most people nowadays are becoming more and more of a critic and doesn't know what real art is. I had a lot of experiences, really bad ones, that I almost lost myself but I just prayed to God. Then, it happened...I still get blessings from Him. They just kept pouring in. I couldn't even believe it myself but I always thought God was the one who is telling me to slow down. To enjoy. To do my best.  Now, I'm grateful.This is me, still working and surviving....  after 13 years. Thank you God. I am grateful.

New packaging! New formulation?

This is again an update of the pressed powder I'm using! I just couldn't believe why I switched from a luxurious brand I was using before into this! I mean, it's nothing negative as this is still an Asian brand as it says "Made in Thailand" . This is actually good. The pressed powder is medium coverage for me like a foundation and I like that it covers my imperfections without using any concealer. Even my dark undereyes were magically covered!  I will post the before and after pics soon😊 Anyway, the new packaging is very handy and cute with a mirror inside! However, the scent is kind of "off" for me.I can't quite place it. The old version doesn't have that smell and is actually quite "unscented" (I have to do the  sniffing again once more just to be sure). I tried the powder again this time and I think it's just like before! My face looks flawless and blends into my skin after a few minutes! It's just the smell that's bothe...
