MAY FAVORITES

Hahaha! Can somebody please press the rewind button? Kidding aside, I am here to share again my beauty faves of the month. Summer may be over but our makeup addiction will never stop. So, let's do this.

BEGINNERS GUIDE TO HIGHLIGHTING AND CONTOURING

What is your favorite part to your makeup routine? Is it doing your brows? Putting on eyeshadow? Doing your winged liner? Adding falsies? Don't make me look weird here but I bet all of you get giddy when you do your favorite step in your routine. My favorite part would definitely be highlighting and contouring. 

When I first started, this step really baffles me. I really find it hard and time-consuming.  But, when I started doing it, it really amazes me how it transforms your face immensely and how it plays a huge factor both in reality and photography. But why is there a need to highlight and contour, anyway? The whole point of contouring is to carve out your features and to create an illusion of a slimmer face. To create a shadow on areas you want to fade and bring forward the features that are prominent. No algorithm needed guys. Do you find that enticing? Yah, count me in. I bet you guys are also curious on how to perfect this step. Fret no more, I'm going to show you how to do it step-by-step and how to perfect it the newb way. Let's do it.

*Warning!! My brows are not in the best condition on this post. I used a brow tint and it looked so bad. Please ignore it.*

MARCH FAVORITES

Hey guys, summer is right around the corner and do you think that the equinox phenomenon is all to blame for this crazy blazing heat? Its just toooo hot in Cebu that I need to triple slap my face with sunscreen. Not the most glamorous but SPF is a must nowadays. But first, let me share my March faves that I have been loving recently.

STOP MAKEUP SHAMING!

"You have too much makeup on!"

"Why do you need that much makeup?"

"For whom are you wearing makeup today?"

My response?? "WHATEVER!!!!!" eyes rolling, flips hair and continues ruling the world.

Seriously, make-up shaming has skyrocketed over the past year. Due to the emerging of social media and the growth of beauty gurus, it is inevitable that makeup tutorials can be very enticing and you can't help but be curious. Despite the glam that comes with it, this gurus or anyone in particular, are the middle of ridicule. WHY?? Because cosmetics are for insecure human beings. Oh really? Well, EFF OFF! Let me tell  you about my make-up journey and why make-up shaming should be put to rest.
