HAPPY RAYA EVERYONE!

Im sure all of you looked gorgeous on your first day of Hari Raya! The day in the year where everyone is psyched about dressing to kill. With their lovely traditional Malay outfit, their lovely tight fitting kebaya, looking all good and handsome in their baju kurung telok blangah and all. Oh so gorgeous!

And of course alongside all the pretty pretty outfits, is the MAKEUP and hairstyle! Something id be much more interested in actually haha ;p So... Everyone loves Kim K right. Like who doesnt? And so this year i thought of a more smokey, sultry, feminine yet fierce kinda look, something inspired by her. Strong on the eyes, strong on the cheeks and also on the lips but all well-blend and smooth.

The thing about her look is that it doesnt really have a focus and thats why its a little harder to carry as compared to looks that focuses on either features on your face. Because everything is strong on the face, you will have to keep it together by blending the colours well and not overdo it. Trying to 'push your luck' by using too many colours or putting too much product will make it look harsh. Get what i mean? Some might say, hey its only a smokey eye look, nothing different. Well, honestly, the smokey eye look is one of the easiest yet hardest look to pull. Believe me? No? Try :)

Heres me on my first day of Hari Raya! Hair all pulled up coz its hot hehe ;)

Pardon me for the quality of the photo but this is the best i could do. So, for the look i achieved, all the products that i used was the more 'less expensive' makeup. Something more affordable. The brands that are more wearable on a daily basis unless you can afford the more high end brands of course. By all means get them! However, if you're still schooling or have just started working or dont really like to splurge on makeup coz youre just not so into it, then heres a post for you. Im a little more detailed when it comes to event makeup coz hey beauty takes time! ;p
