Winter is here!

LIFE is finally back on track and winter is here!

This is my 4th winter since we bought our one way ticket from Singapore to Auckland. Slowly but surely, Auckland has become a home for me - although Singapore always hold a special place in my heart. 

Days ago, I miss my Singapore life badly. I felt that my life in Singapore was a kind of life that I always wanted. Vibrant. Quick pace. Advance. It was a good one. But then, I took a step back and look around here, I feel happy. I feel that I am blessed to be in a place where I can get 1 year maternity leave to be with my baby and still get paid from the government. I feel that there must be a reason we are here today, and I choose to embrace that.

Anyway, just want to say hi again after a long break from this blog. 

These photos was from previous winter :)

I never got a chance to post them and I got a lot of question on how to get this makeup done.

Honestly, this was a quick makeup done at very odd hour because I couldn't sleep. 

Am glad it turned out alright.

I can't remember the products I use, but hey..I will be posting more makeup stuff more frequent in my IG (@eldiona) - let's get in touch, there.

Light smokey eyes tutorial with Urban Decay 24/7 glide on eye pencil

This is actually a long overdue make up tutorial that I did while ago; 

when I was actually 39 weeks preggie ^^

I created this look to make use of my Urban Decay 24/7 glide pencil, I love the colours and this is a idiot proof way in making the smokey eye effect, because all you need to do is just simply rub it left and right.

I started with MAC powder foundation - studio perfect NC 25

Eyebrow - Cyber colour in dark brown

Contouring kit by NYX 

This is the series of the Urban Decay glide on eye pencil that I used.

As simple as:

1.  framing your eyes with UD Zero and blend the upper liner with a firm blending brush.

2. Layer the top liner with UD-demolition

3. Double up the lower liner with UD-Mainline

And I finished up the look with Urban Decay cream blush in slight coral colour.

Done!

Hope you enjoy this simple tutorial :)
