Quickie Do - Nude Puckers

After some insight into the asian makeup trends, nude lips and girly emo eyes (or dolly eyes as the Japs call it) are steadily becoming my daily routine. After reading many many Popteen mag scans I learnt that the girls apply a layer of concealer (specifically for lips and eyes) to their little puckers first, before applying a nude gloss or nude lip color, then gloss.

After my eyeshadow blending stint, spending more money on items like concealer (which the makeup artist at Inglot said I dont really need anyway) is really not on my retail therapy agenda; so here's my Quickie Do for nude Gyaru lips:

The Bodyshop never fails to perform perfectly...

...actual color, goes on lighter on my lips (sorry I focussed on my wrinkly hands!)...

...outline first (here you can make some slight alterations to your lip shape if you wish) then fill in...

...apply a layer of shimmery pink/peach/nude gloss (ModelCo used here) and blow a yummy kiss!

Dolly Hair Quickie Do

Having fallen in lurve with the gyaru dolly look, I havent missed any spare time to have some fun practising the techniques of this very fun yet very extreme and somewhat time consuming look.

The make up - am not confidfent enough to post on as yet; however with the hair, I've managed to find a way to skip all that teasing and tousling and ironing and curling, even the product, to achieve a more Adelaide street friendly hairdo. I will dramatize it eventually bit by bit (Pourquoi non??? my man is a Hair Stylist!!! NB - I did all the below myself *wink*)

OK, this is TOO easy...

1) Apply some leave in treatment mixed with some mousse (i didnt use anything here as i dont need it to stay like this all day), sweep hair up and tie a bun on your crown. Sweep to get the tousled effect at the root level, combing it would make it too neat and school teacher like. Style yuor sideswept fringe or fringe now.

...leave the bun for about half an hour or so and LET LOOSE - VOILA!

Lots of Body...

...Tousled & soft...

Not using an iron gives (the gadget and product technique challenged) me more natural looking ends and midlengths as it works with your own shape and contours, however the downside is that it will drop sooner esp if you have strong Asian hair...

There you go, Quickie Do technique #1 on Sayasuka to be shared with you xox!
