Shhh...Conceal It Please...

Concealer is a highly pigmented cosmetics-used to cover dark spots, under eye circles, blemishes and other imperfection. Use a concealer which is the one tone lighter than your foundation. But I usually choose two tones lighter for a better coverage. Concealer may be applied with finger tip or synthetic concealer brush (hygienic reason) which is specially made for cream. Apply concealer before or after foundation (I prefer after foundation). After applying concealer set it with loose powder.

I personally prefer cream concealer because of the smooth finishing. Liquid concealer looks way too cakey. I am soooooo in love with Laura Mercier's Secret Camouflage which is a two-shade system camouflage that can be blend together for the perfect shade (LMSC No. 5 suits me best). Other than that, I would recommend Laura Mercier's Undercover-a combination of Secret Concealer and Secret Camouflage) and also Bobbi Brown Creamy Concealer Kit and Makeup Store All Mix Concealer.Laura Mercier Secret Camouflage

Cab VS. LRT

I finished my class about an hour late and I knew that it was an extremely bad timing to go home...However, I was way too tired to shop-hopping and I knew that I would be buying some cute gorgeous irresistable (maybe) clothes or shoes or bags...and there goes my RM flying away!!!

What I did was, to walk all the way from Pavillion to KLCC LRT station (my cardio of the day)...Well, if I were to take a cab ride, those evil cabbie might charged me double or maybe triple and I will have to listen to them b****ing about the horrendously congested traffic of KL..hmmmm....I guessed if u choose to be a cabbie, u just have to bear with the heavy traffic...Or else maybe u can try to apply for the post of Star-LRT driver...YES!! I sounded too harsh but I hate cabbies..

And so I arrived the LRT station around 1730 and to my surprise-the Malaysians were actually queue-ing!!!what an improvement (highlight of the issue)...I managed to squeeze myself into the 4th LRT which passed by since I started queue-ing...what a relieved (*sigh)...Inspite of the fact that the LRT was as packed as sardines, I have nothing to grouch cause I'm just paying RM1.60....Nevertheless, I felt that the operation needs to be upgraded...Maybe an addition of the 3rd coach...

It's Black..It's White

One of the problem having dark skin is to choose the right shades of foundation, so that you will not end up looking greyish( Eh comeonlah!! I know u people always choose 1 tone lighter so that u'll look fairer but kalo dah hitam tu hitam gak..u wouldnt look fairer but instead kelabu)...I have always used M.A.C Foundation before but now I would go for Loréal Perfect Match because of the better coverage and its light texture. Well as for me, I mix two shades in order to get the right colour for my skin..so I would mix 50-50 Loréal Perfect Match G6( one shade darker than my skin) and N7 ( same shade as my skin). Loréal Perfect Match has been classified into 3 catogeries which are the R(Rose), N(Neutral) and G(Golden/Yellow). As for Asians the N & R will suit us better because of our yellowish or brownish skin pigment.

Why some people are fair and some are dark?

Basically every human being has the same amount of melanocytes ( the cells in the bottom of the skin epidermis). But what causes the colour is the amount of melanosomes in melanocytes which is responsible to produce melanin. So to make it short and simple, darker people has greater amount of melanin and they are exist all over the epidermis.

Lastly, decorative cosmetics brand such as M.A.C., Bobbi Brown and Shu Uemura have a wide range of shades to match the tone of the coloured skin.
