NARS family

I've been a collector of NARS cosmetics. Here is some of which I bought:
A. Eye paint
A brilliant pot of high pigmented eyeliner with silky gel formula. It glides smoothly on your skin yet dry down quickly. I love the matte look finish, it looks like you apply a pencil eyeliner. It is a good collaboration when you apply with this Bobbi Brown ultra fine eye definer brush.

It is available in 11 shades where mine is interstellar (silver), black valley (black) and iskandar (gold) shade.


B. Blush on
Never get tired of trying out new blushes. NARS has numerous ange shade of blushed, oh how lucky I am!. They serve as multi purpose application as blush on, highlight and contour/shading. I pick 2 shades : New Attitude comes in soft pink shade and Outlaw comes in bold pink shade with touch of shimmer.
They are best apply with this Hakuhodo cheek brush.

Blah..blah...blush!!!!!

Define your eyebrows! by Damone Roberts eyebrow pencil

Hello gorgeous,

I have become a bit obssessed with eyebrows. Eyebrows are essentials as it takes a huge part in framing your face and your makeup as well. I regularly get my grey thick brow hair shaped at BrowHaus, Jakarta.  So for me, put more effort and time in defining your eyebrow will worth the results. As you can see in the upcoming pictures, I outline my brow with Damone Roberts eyebrow pencil in "Blonde", also add on "Pink a Boo" brow highlighter for more dramatic brow. Love it so much!

My pictures below are liked and commented by @DamoneRoberts himself. I am proud and blessed. Too bad I have not captured pics when he reposted my pictures in his Instagram account.

Client of The Day

Gorgeous babe,

Today as we celebrate jakarta 485th year of anniversary, my gorgeous client celebrated her teen daughter, Nisa, 12 th birthday earlier this month. Here is their look in the touch of my makeup. This time makeup challenge was Nisa's skin tone in dark brown tone plus somw break out on forehead area.
Thanks to Kryolan HD creamy foundation and Supracolor creamy foundation who makes my makeup job lot easier done. Their coverage is actually very good, medium to high coverage with matte look finish. Oh..not to forget to introduce you new members of my makeup gadget, Tom Ford contour kit. I super love the creamy yet not too oily texture for contouring. It suits any type of skin well and blends in well with any of your foundation.

Makeup enhances natural beauty within you.

Xoxo,
Rach

Hello....Goodbye!

I've been on a search for facial mask for a week as I am running out of mask.
 I use glamglow tingling and exfoliating mud mask at the moment. The ingredient contains of real mud (which texture is quite greasy) claimed to give instant firming and brightening effect. Yes it leaves my skin smoother and tighter but yet I feel my skin is more dry in some areas.
Many recommendation in website came up with Estee Lauder resilient mask so I went to dept store and stopped by at Estee Lauder counter but turns out the product I am looking for is not available in Indo. I looked around and lastly stopped by the Sisley counter. They recommend me Phyto Blanc Ultra Lightening Mask. It is enriched with natural plant extracts and essential oil, also fragrance-free. Without any doubt I finally made a purchase and the first trial of using this mask was like "urmm the smell is awful" haha. Apart from that, I feel the instant effect, my skin is more dewy, bright and moist. I think its synergetic combination of lemon extract, scullteria and white mulberry evens out the complexion.

Time to say HELLO Sisley and GOODBYE Glamglow!

My treasure : Chikuhodo brush

Treasure, that is what you are
Honey you are my golden star
You can make my wish come true
If you let me treasure you 
(By Bruno Mars)

One of my treasures have finally arrived! It is Chikuhodo makeup brush from Japan. I have never bought makeup brushes brand from Japan but I heard this brand is popular in their origin and they manufacture the brushes by handmade, assuming all handmade is good quality. So here is my review on 3 brushes I bought:

1. G8 : powder brush
2. G11 : contour brush
3. G16 : cheek brush

Handle type : wooden handle.
Ferrule : gold coated.
Go to Chikuhodo brush website for further specification.

The hair is seriously fluffy (compare to my current Bobbi Brown and MAC brushes). Densely packed bristles make it easy to apply makeup without leaving any residue on the brushes, this is what I don't see in any other makeup brushes. I tried G16 (in pointed shape)

, it is super easy to apply on the cheek area and it helped me to create dramatic and strong color on the cheek yet less sheer look.
For G11, I called this brush multi-purpose brush with thick-dense bristles, since It can be used for contouring/shading, blush brush and blending and highlight. Lastly I agree that G8 powder brush is very good at its function to apply finishing powder thinly on top of your makeup.
Overall I am happy with these but well too bad the handle is too short as I already used to my Bobbi Brown brushes with longer handle which allows me to control more strokes when applying makeup. Next, I surely might wanna try other brushes from Chikuhodo brand.

Here are my golden star.
