easy to be perfect

Magazine Scans - Touch Up Tips!
Great and fast touch up tips.... which I'm falling in love with each passing day

I'll try to translate as much as I can but the pictures are quite self-explanatory.

I've tried it and it is as easy as the magazine (Jessica Hong Kong, Apr 09) claims it to be. :) It is especially handy given Singapore's hot and humid weather that melts the makeup awayDo give it a try!
Step 1: Mist the whole face to rehydrate. Personally, I use Jurlique Rosewater Balancing Mist - smells really nice.
Step 2: Blot the face to get rid of any excess oil.
Step 3: Spot cover with your concealer. I use cle de peau concealer in Ivory.
Step 4: Use a pressed powder to finish up. I switch between J&P's pressed powder and Benefit's Dr. Feelgood.


Step 1: Use a cotton swap dipped in eye-makeup remover and gently go over the upper eyelid.
Step 2: Reapply your eye shadow.
Step 3: Line your eyes.
Step 4: Re-appy mascara.


Step 1: Use a makeup remover soaked cotton bud to remove lipstick stain.
Step 2: Apply lip concealer (CanMake has a cheap and very pigmented lip concealer). You may also want to "shape" your lips using the concealer.
Step 3: Line your lips. (I always skip this step :P)
Step 4: Reapply lip colour.

Hope you find this as useful as I did. :)
