BEAUTY | MY CURRENT MAKEUP ROUTINE

OK, so the last time I shared my makeup routine was last year?! Wow, how dare I? My routine has changed a lot, tbh. Now, I'm focusing on hydrating as well as taking care of my hormonal acne-prone skin. If you read my blog for a long time, I have never struggled with acne before. It started back in 2022. I was very stressed because of the hormonal acne. Yet, my stress caused more. So it's basically an endless cycle. 
I would love to share my skincare routine (as well as my skin cycling) but I haven't found the perfect routine yet. So, let's be patient! I'm still experimenting here and there to find the right one for my skin condition.
Anyway, let's move on to my makeup routine. The routine is similar to my last one, but some of the products have changed. Either I found the better one, or it suits more with my skin condition. 

BEAUTY | EVERYDAY PRODUCTS

Ever since I moved to Bali, my skincare and makeup routine changed. The first few months, my skin breakout really bad and it made me stressed. I changed my skincare routine, from facewash to sunscreen, everything to find the perfect one. So far, skincare is still a mystery,
However, my makeup routine was fairly simpler. I only need 15 minutes to do my daily makeup, nonetheless add a few bits such as blush and eyeshadow probably add 5 minutes more. I quiet happy with my go to makeup and it's all thanks to these makeup goods.

BEAUTY | SIMPLE EID MAKEUP

This year's Eid will be very different from the previous ones. I can't celebrate with my big family because we're quarantining. So instead of celebrating together at my Grandma's house like our tradition every year, this year will involve heaps of video chat, from FaceTime to Zoom. We all still feeling grateful because technology nowadays is so advance. 

Today I want to share the Eid makeup look that is very simple, easy to do and still enhancing your beauty. Remember, Eid is not about showing off but showing your inner beauty and peace. 

Let's get started! 

BEAUTY | MAKEUP SWAKARANTINA

Hai! 

Siapa yang selama swakarantina masih tetap dandan? Aku! Pasti banyak juga kan ya yang sama kayak aku, biarpun diam di rumah tapi gemas aja ingin dandan. Buatku, makeup itu terapeutik dan isolasi mandiri bisa bikin aku merasa terkekang dan stres karena cemas nonton berita soal covid-19, belum lagi stres karena melakukan rutinitas yang diulang terus menerus di tempat yang sama selama... mungkin udah hampir 3 bulan, ya? 

Hari ini aku ingin sharing sama kalian produk lokal dan produk terjangkau yang aku suka banget dan menurutku kualitasnya bagus, gak kalah sama produk high-end! Makeup ini aku pakai kalau mau ke ruang tamu atau nonton tv-series, atau untuk nulis blog di teras sambil ditemani kucing-kucing kesayangan ;) 

BEAUTY | BLUSH MAKEUP LOOK

I love how the weather has been doing lately. It's pretty sunny in the morning and then rainy in the afternoon. I feel like it's a perfect excuse to be cosy up on the oversize jumper or put on the big denim jacket. If you live in a tropical country, jumpers and jackets are not the options when it's 32-degree Celsius! 

With this kind of weather, I like to keep my makeup has a bit of pop up colour. A little bit on my eyes, cheeks, and lips. Almost like a monochrome look. So, I want to share what products I used and how my go-to makeup lately. It's easy, simple, but still, add so much colour to my face!  

BEAUTY | MINIMAL MAKEUP WHEN YOU'RE SICK

I've been feeling under the weather for the last two and a half months. I'm getting treatment and such so now I'm getting better but still in a lot of pain especially in the chest and head. During those months I also had to out and about and of course, I did not want to be seen as a sick, pale girl. I found some ways that worked to hide my sickness. 

BEAUTY | MAKEUP SEHARI-HARI DI BAWAH 10 MENIT!

Hai! Apa kabar? 

Hari ini aku ingin berbagi produk makeup apa aja yang biasa aku pakai sehari-hari. Sebenarnya aku sering unggah foto atau video di instagram, tapi gak pernah aku jelaskan kenapa dan gimana sih hasil atau efeknya ke kulit aku. Di tutorial kali ini, aku pakai produk-produk yang cukup terjangkau dan relatif mudah di dapat. 

Sebelum memakai riasan, aku selalu mulai dengan skincare dulu mulai dari toner, pelembab, dan sunscreen. Baru deh mulai ke riasan. Oh ya, produk-produk yang aku tulis disini aku pakai secara berurutan ya. Yuk, mulai! 

ps: kasih tahu aku kalau kamu ingin aku share skincare routine yaaaa!

BEAUTY | MAKEUP LOOK

Last week, I went to my best friend's wedding and did my own makeup. It was an outdoor reception so I didn't want to look too heavy on the makeup but also tried to make my makeup stand out under the sun if it makes any sense. 

It's been ages since I wore makeup again. I always do my eyebrow and put mascara every day I walked out of my home, but this is pretty much my daytime glam makeup look and I had fun doing it.

Here are the products that I used for this look.  

BEAUTY | I'M FEELING GOOD

Whoaaa... how long is it been since I shared my go to makeup look? I can't even remember! Recently, I've been loving the way I wear my makeup. If you know me, you'll know I always go for simple, natural makeup look. For the past two to three months, I've been embracing what I have. I barely wear makeup, to be honest. 

If I do wear makeup, this is what I look. It's so easy, so natural, and most importantly I feel good about myself.Without further do, let's hop into the tutorial... well, sort of ;)

BEAUTY | EVERYDAY MAKEUP LOOK

Ever since I started graduate school, I like to use a little bit makeup for school. It's usually very simple and natural looking makeup not something that need an effort to do (but honestly, it takes an effort to get up every morning and do my makeup in hurry) but still presentable and define my face. 

In the morning, after shower I usually do my skin care routine first then leave it for few minutes whilst I get dressed. I want my moisturizer to sink into my skin first before I start my makeup. It usually takes 5 minutes for me to apply all of them, super easy and effective. I thought maybe you guys find this post useful or get some inspirations. 

MY CURRENT GO TO MAKEUP LOOK

Today I thought I'd share my current go to makeup look with you guys since it's been awhile. It's kinda my typical makeup look as if I'm going to hanging out with my friends, or just casual family dinner. I do switch around a little bit for my eye makeup or my lipstick, but this is like my basic makeup routine - if it's make any sense :p 

I don't really like heavy makeup for most of the days, I'm concern on my complexion more than eye makeup or lipstick I'm wearing. I don't know, I just like having flawless looking skin, with a good touch of blush on my cheeks. I love looking fresh. 

Enough rumbling, let's hop into the routine!

VALENTINE'S DAY MAKEUP LOOK

It's been a while since I wrote makeup tutorial post. Honestly, I really enjoy making this, but it's kinda hard to explain step by step on writing instead of talking. But here it is, hopefully it will helps and inspires you ;) 

This is my go to makeup look recently. This look is effortless but still making you look put together. I play with different lip colours like rosy colour and sometimes I'll go just natural looking lips with only lip glosses or soft pink lipstick. I think this is perfect for those who don't have much time to do makeup but still want to look stand out, especially on Valentine's day!

Let's get right into it! 

VANITY: 5 MINUTES DAY TIME MAKEUP ROUTINE

Whenever I'm late, I always grab these 5 magic products to save my day. The products below are in my opinion quiet good and stay almost 12 hours without giving me oily shiny look during the day. 

• Concealer: Revlon Colorstay Concealer

I use this concealer to cover dark circles under my eyes and the redness that I have. This product is surprisingly good. It is very similar to Maybelline Fit Me Concealer but the formula is lighter so I think it's perfect if you don't have much skin problem. Note: use the shade that really close to your natural skin tone or at least 1 shade lighter than your skin. Mine is 02 Light.

• Powder Foundation: Revlon Two Way Powder Foundation 

My life saver! This compact powder is definitely my holy grail face powder! I have no idea what they put in here but the formula is such an amazing thing I've ever tried. I've used this powder foundation for half year and so far, I don't have any problem with it. It gives a light coverage and also gives you natural fresh looking face. Note: use the shade that really close to your natural skin colour to get perfect coverage. Mine is 01 Ivory. 

• Mascara: Benefit They're Real Mascara

Don't pass on mascara! It can make you look much more wake up and makes your eyes bigger and POP! If there's any makeup that I can't live without, it is mascara. Call me mascara freak because I am. Note: don't forget to curl your lashes first and add a generous amount of the products to make your lashes ticker and longer.

• Blusher: Silkygirl Shimmer Duo Blusher

For someone who has pretty much pale skin, blush is a mandatory. For everyday use, I like to use something that really soft and light tone like this blush. This is a local product and I think pretty good for such a cheap product. Note: I'm not sure if this product still available at the counter or drugstore, I got this blusher 1,5 years ago. 

• Lipgloss: Make Over Liquid Lip Colour

Personally, I don't really like super bright lip colour for day time but I need something to make my face fresher and happier (I look like a sick person because I really pale), I choose to use lipgloss which is Make Over Liquid Lip Color in Fructis Peach, the colour is so soft and fresh looking!

GET READY WITH ME: THEME PARK MAKEUP LOOK

Some people said it's not make any sense to put makeup on your face when all you want to do is have fun. Wrong. Because, we do want to have fun and have great pics coming out, right? So those happiness moments won't go wrong by dark circles under your eyes, or your acnes and blemishes. 

So, ladies, stop lying to yourself and admit it. Even when you go to the theme park, you DO your makeup but keep it simple and by simple I mean 'NO MAKEUP MAKEUP LOOK'.

Here's my look the other day: 

CURRENT FAVORITE MAKEUP LOOK

In actuality, I'm 99 % bare face and four eyes but I do like little change and this makeup look is my current favorite. 

I had so many family events, friends meet ups, and I found this makeup look matched with every single event. Oh! All of the makeup products are drugstore makeup so it's easy to get. I hope you enjoy this post as much as I do. 

So, here it is...
