DIY : Classic French Twist

Hi all, how have you ladies been? Its been quite awhile since i last updated as i was having trouble posting on blogger. There were errors when i wanted to publish a post!!
Anyway all is well now, and i can start posting again :)

In this DIY post, we will be learning how to do a classic french twist. Its a simple yet sophisticated look to wear on. So let's start!



french twist





What we need to create this hairdo are just basically bobby pins, no rubber band is needed.



Before we start, take a look at this video on how to create this look (as you might not understand my illustration :( ) :

STEP 1: Grab your hair in a ponytail style


STEP 2: Twist your ponytail ( do not twist it too tight)



STEP 3: After twisting the ponytail, twist it upwards in either left or right direction


STEP 4: So this is how it will look after twisting it upwards! Next, push in the "twisted" ponytail inwards and  use the "outer" hair to cover it! Secure the twist with bobby pins and beautify it with a nice pin.


This is the end results! Pretty isn't it? Wasn't difficult right? I hope you like your end results as much as i do :)

DIY: How to apply brown eyeshadow using Revlon Colorstay 520

Hey ladies, before i start on the tutorial of the application of brown eyeshadow, i would just like to say that i am not like Michelle Phan who is a professional in applying beautiful eye makeup. In fact i am an amateur in this. However, i am willing to take chances in stuff that would improve my appearances. So hopefully you would like this tutorial.

So in this tutorial, I will be using Revlon Colorstay 520 Brazen to achieve the brown eye makeup look as seen below.

Smokey brown eyeshadow

So lets get started!

Step 1-2: Apply the bronze eyeshadow circled in yellow as seen in picture 1 and apply it all over the lids as seen in the yellow circle of picture 2.

Step 3-4: Apply the dark brown eyeshadow circled in yellow as seen in picture 3 and apply it on the eye crease as seen in the yellow circle of picture 4.

Step 5-6: Apply the peach eyeshadow circled in yellow as seen in picture 5 and apply it all on the inner corner of the eyes as seen in the yellow circle of picture 6.

Step 7-8: Apply the gold eyeshadow circled in yellow as seen in picture 7 and apply it all on the  top of your eyes as seen in the yellow circle of picture 8.

Step 9 -10: Using a liquid or gel eyeliner, draw a line as close to your eyelashes, And you're done!!



As seen from the above picture with me closing my eyes (hahaha), this eye makeup look is rather natural . However, if you would like the "brown-ness" to be more outstanding. You can always intensify it by putting more of the eyeshadow and also applying it higher so that it will be more visible when you open your eyes. 

Revlon colorstay can be purchased in all Watsons store. I hope you like this tutorial and do feel free to comment if you have any question.
