Kpop Fandom: Sapphire Blue Pearl Inspired Look

I promised that I will make another fandom inspired look 
and it didn't even take that long. :)

Today I have much free time, it's not an official day off 
but due to some internet connection problems
in the office I have to go home and rest instead.

(Credit goes to owner of the photos that I'll be using!
I do not own any suju stuffs) 

Sapphire Blue Pearl or some call it Pearlescent Sapphire Blue
 is Super Junior's official Fansclub color.

 

Elf (the fansclub name: Ever Lasting Friends) 
always carry a Sapphire blue glowstick, 
balloons and even wear shirts for the Super Show tour. 
I've known Super Junior ever since I discovered SHINee in 2008, 
and they are the most hilarious group in the history of K-pop. 
They are like the most unruly, funniest and noisiest group ever, 
that's why I love them. 

My favorite member is Heechul. 
He's the prettiest Korean entertainer for me. 
Some f my friends who have seen him in person
 told me that he's so God-like and so perfect looking. 
He knows that's he's really good looking and
 he's strutting his stuff onstage too much.
I'm soooooo jealous!!!! I haven't seen Suju in the flesh. :(

 I got this photo from my friend Joanna

 


I know I'm crazy coz I only did half of my face. 
It's already 12 midnight and I don't want to
put a lot of makeup on and it's too hard to wash it all off. 
So I only have one sided shot.
I also don't want to over expose my whole face 
just like what I usually do coz 
most probably it will be everywhere on the internet.

Photoshoot: Piece of Panda


At Lush's Emotion Brilliance event I met some Finnish bloggers (thanks you girls, it was so much fun!), and one of them was supercute T from Piece of Panda blog.
We started to think ideas for makeup and photoshoot with her, and here's some pics I took of her :)

The first look was light and glowy and bright and fun:

For Panda's eyes I used Lime Crime Coral of the Story on lid, Sugarpill Flamepoint on crease and Illamasqua Breathe on browbone, with Marliss#159 lashes.
I wanted to get something special to the look, so I also used some bright and orange rhinestones.


The second look we made was darker, more rock:

She saw my old photos where I had done a Lady Gaga look for my friend J, and she also wanted to get the huge hairbow:

 I used Sugarpill Bulletproof on lid, blended it with Sugarpill 2am, and again used Illamasqua's Breathe for highlighter. To the middle of the lid I added some Eye Kandy Confetti glitter to bring a bit of sparkle.
Lashes are Sugarpill Dreamy false lashes.
For the lips I chose Lime Crime Chinchilla.




Special mention of the awesome jewellery Panda had:

The edgy earrings, necklace and ring were from Glitter, as well as the feather/skull scarf she used.

Kpop Fandom: Pearlescent Sky Blue/ Aqua Pearl Inspired Look


Today's look is inspired by the color/s that represents
the fandom in which I faithfully belong to since 2008. 
One day I was just looking at my glow stick
 then I realized that it's possible to do a look inspired by it.


SHINee's Official Fansclub color is still confusing for me.
It has been pearlescent sky blue for a long time,
 then SM entertainment's official website announced
that it's pearl aqua. :(

 Etude House launched the Shini Star Line with somewhat
faint aqua colored cosmetics

  my bestfriend took this photo from Etude House Singapore

Using a palette composed of different shades of blue,
I was able to create this look.


Products Used

Face:

Etude House Shini Star BB Lotion
Sugar Skull Cosmetics Correct and Conceal concealer palette
Origins Original Skin pressed makeup
Avon Simply Pretty dual powder foundation

Eyes:

Fashion 21 white eyeliner as base
Sugar Skull Cosmetics 120 Rainbow Color Palette
Etude House Tear Drop Powder in Crystal Gold
Black eyeliner (borrowed from Maru coz I forgot mine at home!)
Avon Lengthening Mascara

Cheeks:
Elf Blush and Bronzer duo
Maybelline Powder blush in Strawberry

Lips:
Maybelline Colorsensational Lipstick in Angel Rose (my fave!)
Etude House Shini Star Lipbalm #5 Shiny T (guava)




How to:

1. Smoothen your skin and cover blemishes by using a foundation of your choice, 
any creamy concealer will do. Pat your face with powder.

2. Do the brows, then proceed with the eyes.
Colorful eyeshadow pops out if the base is white.
I don't have a white eyebase yet so I use a white eyeliner
and tried to spread it on eyelids. I got monolids so I didn't extend it to my crease.

3. Use a light aqua blue in your inner eyes, a darker one at the middle part.
and glittery blue to the outer V. Blend to avoid harsh strokes and edges.

4. Use the same darker aqua blue to the inner lower rim of your eyes,
then use the same glittery blue to the outer corners.

5. Line the upper and lower lash line with black eyeliner, then smudge it with 
a pointed eyeshadow brush dipped with black eyeshadow. I prefer contouring my
eyes and doing the cat-eye eyelining technique.

6. Curl lashes and coat your lashes with the mascara of your choice.

7. Swipe the apple of your cheeks with peachy pink blush, 
so I mixed my peach blush with pink.

8. Apply any lipstick shade of your choice, then top it off with a lip gloss
or lip balm.


I would love to watch SHINee World Concert II, where
I can see glow sticks everywhere happily dancing
to the music of these boys. I just hope they will include my country
soon, if not, I hope they'll include the second country that
I'm planning to live in a few months from now.


Also I received this wonderful fan good from Singapore
from my friend Marc. Hearing his stories on how he got it makes
me feel so touched. He didn't pay for it though..
He got it from the displays outside the store and hid it in his backpack.^^ 



 A few weeks from now I'll be opening my own online shop
where I'll be selling some palettes, just like what I used for today,
and some lip tattoos just like what 2ne1 is using in this photo.

 
   
 If I will succeed, I'll be able to sell more. If people won't buy it,
then I'll gladly have 'em!!!  It's a win-win situation for me.
I'm soooooooooo excited!!!!!

I'm planning to make more Kpop Fandom inspired looks 
and be creative with my palette.
Next look will be:


Thanks for reading my blog! Always remember:

Lush Emotional Brilliance


Lush invited bloggers to get a sneak peek of their new cosmetic line, Emotional Brilliance (or Tunteiden Loisto in finnish). Because I love Lush's products, I definitely wanted know more about their cosmetic line!


First we got candy!
  Emotional Brilliance is about wearing the right color to match your psychological needs. There are 30 beautiful shades of lipsticks, liquid eyeliners and cream shadows along with mascara, translucent powder, highlighter and bronzer.



all the products, except the ones I forgot from the pic, like the translucent powder... :P
The process of selling the products is a game where you spin the Emotional Brilliance Color Wheel. You then choose first three colors that you're most drawn to. Each color represents and is named for a word used in therapy sessions and the colors you choose supposedly help you with your everyday life. I.e. using color called Strong makes you stronger etc. 


First colour choice symbolises your strength or weakness, second resonates with your primary subconscious need, your third choice represents your talent, the thing that will help you to achieve that subconscious need.

As fun as it sounds, I didn't spin the wheel, so now I'll never know what's really going on in my head. :(
Somehow I believe that I'll still manage just fine without color reading ;D

Here's Piece of panda's three picks:
Pour some water under the picked colors...


.... and it's like magic, the water turns into mystic steam!
Like said earlier, the line holds 30 different colors, so there's really a lot to pick from (except that you're not supposed to pick the color you like but the color that... nevermind, carry on :P).

Every color can be used on the lips, lids and as a liner. At least theoretically. 
Approximately half of the bottles come with lip brush, and other half comes with eyeliner brush. You can get separate brushes from Lush if you want to use your "eyeliner" as a eyeshadow, or lipstick as a liner or something.

Color range is wide. The ones marked for lips come in screaming orange, deep red, wild purple and electric pink for example, and the "eye colors" almost make Lime Crime uniliners jealous by coming in colors such as bright yellow, true green, metallic purple and sky blue.

Sensaisti's pants, candies and Lifted matches each other perfectly!
 

This batch of blue liners were totally dry,  I was told that they were faulty.

"TRY ME", they screamed..

..and I tried. Please don't ask me what color is what, I have no idea anymore. :(
 First of, most of them were pigmented. Extremely so. Especially the reds and blues and yellows really stained. I personally think that staining isn't good quality, but I guess somebody likes it.

This one was really pretty color , called Focus, it was pearly grey with beautiful blue shimmer.

We each got to choose one product from the collection, Piece of panda picked Intuitive, pretty shimmery yellow-green color:


 I ended up picking Dynamic, which is beautiful gold-toned peachy color:



 Today, the talent you have or need is: ‘DYNAMIC!’ Make waves with this aspirational colour and wear it to enhance your spirit.  You know what you are today – to the point, effective and able to achieve in all that you do.



The brush is quite tiny, but I found out that it's quite wobbly, I prefer sturdier brushes with my liners.


Swatch photo on lid, indoors, with flash:

Outdoors, blended on lid, used as liner on lower lashline (sorry about the messy line):


Blended to cheek:

Used on lips, it just didn't blend evenly on lips:

Whole makeup with Lush Dynamic (as eyeshadow, blush/highlighter & lipstick):

Emotional Brilliance is availabl eJuly 21, 2012 in all LUSH stores worldwide and online at www.lush.com
