For me, adulting is trying out make up
Let me start off by saying that I do not know how to put on make up.
Okay, let's say I know what a primer is or why do we need concelears of various colors, but I am not skilled on how to apply it flawlessly on my face.
But honestly, make up is a good thing. It never fails to give that instant confidence and glow back into our skin. So as a young professional trying to look like a legit polished professional, I got my hands on the cheapest make up finds I could to jumpstart my "pretty" journey.
Make up, for me, doesn't need to be expensive. It's true that some are pricey for a very good reason. But as a beginner, I don't want to shell out my money for some high-end make up because it'll be put tp waste if I myself didn't know how to use it.
So off to the beauty counter I go...then I found this very cheap eyeshadow set that I'm currently playing with every night (that's the only time I can practice).
This is the PINK EYESHADOW SET from Ever Bilena, a popular local make up brand in the Philippines. I saw this sitting at a shelf and honest to goodness, I was convinced to buy it because of it's price point---P175.00.
At first, I am really hesitant if I really need this item. I mean, I rarely use make up. But then again, I must remember that I need to be presentable because of my line of work. Anyway, there were no samples on the shelf so I just bought one and tried it at home.
As you can see, every color is bright and beautiful. But the main problem, for me, is that everything's shimmery. Again, I'm not an expert, but I prefer a combination of matte and shimmer in a set so I can easily go basic or glam. Sparkle and shimmer are associated with glam, so I just try to put a little during daytime so I will not look like I have a disco ball in my eyelids. hahaha
Despite the sparkly lineup, I am impressed with the color payoff and how it suits my skin tone. My most favorite would be the peachy one because it's just bright, bold, and beautiful even in just one swipe.
I've been using it for days now and I'm satisfied (so far) with how easy it is to put on, blend, and combine. I tried combining two and three tones in one look (for practice) and it doesn't look all messed up---just shimmery all over though.
This will definitely last long in my vanity kit since I only use little amount every application. I cannot say if this is really for beginners, but it's okay if you are only using one shade at a time. I mean, it's up to you.
But since I am still experimenting, I will look out for more brands and see which one will be my most favorite palette in terms of price and performance.
Well, that's all. Happy Wednesday!
