MOST WORN: Lipstick/Jewelry/Polish/Etc.

TAGGED

MOST WORN lipstick/lipgloss - Nyx Indian Pink

I swear you guys, this color is just so awesome. Its one of the most popular colors from Nyx Round Lipstick and its such a flexible, all-around, instant pick-me-upper color. I have it on my bag wherever I go.

MOST WORN earrings/necklace - Pink Teardrop with zircon cluster

A gift from my sister for my birthday when she came back home from Japan. I love this. I wear it every chance I get, even just to go out with my friends. It looks a little fancy but its a great accessory for any outfit.

MOST WORN top/shirt - A gray mountain dew shirt.

Hahahaha. I don't know why except that its the most comfortablest shirt I own. I literally can wear this everyday if I could. I love this shirt. Its so dirt cheap too. :/

MOST WORN nail polish - Etude House Pink Glaze

I need to get me more of this. You can easily find it in ebay.ph. I got this as a freebie for some Etude House stuff I ordered online. What do you know? The subtle pink shine is amazing! I am looking at my fingernails coated with this beautiful stuff as I type! LOL!

MOST WORN shoes - n/a
SKIMMERS! I love skimmers.

MOST WORN hair product - Tsubaki Golden Repair

I swear by the Tsubaki golden repair set or commonly known as Tsubaki White. It has made my hair sooooo freaking shiny and sooooo soft. The shampoo alone is enough to keep it shiny, but paired with the conditioner, it makes my hair pliable and smooth. And whenever I use the treatment bottle every 2 weeks, my hair is nothing short of divine. I love it! Kinda expensive if you purchase from here, but its quite cheap in Japan really!

MOST WORN perfume - Victoria's Secret Beauty Rush Fizz

Yes, I am positively in love with this line. I think I'm getting green apple next, but I just like this too much to switch! :D

Secret to Great Skin

Q: "What's your secret to great skin?".
A: "Photoshop".

SO THERE! I AM NOT ALONE!

I don't have the clearest skin in the world! I have blemishes that are so stubborn that I don't have any idea how to clear them up. I have pores on the sides of my nose and etc etc! But you know what, I read something from VivaWoman.net...

Chizu Saeki, the author of “The Japanese Skincare Revolution” said:

Don’t fuss over every spot and line on your face. It isn’t as if their presence diminishes your worth as a woman. Most brown spots and lines can be erased with patience, and, at any rate, the overall demeanor and luster of your face are far more important in determining the impression you give.

More often than not we always have spots on our faces! It's very normal. Since I am absolutely stumped on what to do, there is always one treatment that never fails me! AT ALL!

PHOTOSHOP!
(yay.)

Above is what I learned, how to make skin more clearer, erase the blemishes, give yourself a smooth glow, a tan, or even snow-white skin! Lighting also makes it easier, but you can adjust that in Photoshop, too.

What I did with the picture of Angelina Jolie above is just very subtle, and it's what magazines do to make models look pristine. It's kind of fairly easy to do in Photoshop, too, mainly because Angelina already has an almost blemish-and-line-free kind of skin. Just a little touch up and smoothening is needed :) Remember to be kind to the picture. Sometimes too much retouching can also weird the face out, making it look fake and plastic-looking.

But what about those with extremely bad skin? Like someone who has an acne-filled face? Well, Photoshop is also your best derma! LOL!

The original photo at the left is of someone suffering from dried-up acne. I ended up spending 7 minutes for cover up of the acne alone, not including the smoothening, lightening, and adjustment too! Though I don't like this editing, the person on the right looks like a CG character because his skin is too perfect. You can also adjust it in Photoshop to have a texture that can help the skin look more natural.

I only do photoshops when I am commissioned to do so, or when my friends and I gather for a little Photoshoot or something. For THIS Photoshoot Xiao and I didn't edit it, because the amazing room-lighting was already very good to us HAHAHA!

Some people might frown upon using Photoshop to cover blemishes, telling me that it's a form of LYING or that it's DECEITFUL. Um, tell that to photo editors in the magazines first, LOL! Just imagine how the sales of FHM would plummet if they were to post the models in all their raw-photo glory!

Whenever I post my picture on facebook or in any other social media, I do photoshop it, but not really super duper edit it. I just take out an embarrassing zit, some shine on my face, and some weird discoloration in my under eye. But here in my blog, I post pictures as raw as possible!

LIKE THIS!
You can't really photoshop a webcam shot as much as one you get from a digicam. The picture's are always too freaking pixelated and noisy to begin with.

Well that's all I wanted to share to you, guys! Thanks for reading! :3
