Palty Hair Color- Before!

Hello everyone! 

So, it's been about 3 years since I last touched any kind of color to my hair.   Last time I did, my hair was horribly damaged, dry, and it was like I had a dry blonde birds nest on my head.

For the year 2011, I am going to be changing my hair color for the first time in 3 years- Coloring my hair symbolizes (to me) the changes I plan to make for the next year. 

I decided this time I want to try Palty hair color, a Japanese brand that seems to be popular and work a bit better on dark hair (like mine).  I went to my local Japanese market (I have a Mitsuwa Marketplace nearby and the stuff is 10 bucks a box, not different from American brands you'd find at any drugstore.) and bought 2 boxes of a color called Milk Tea Brown.  This is what it is supposed to look like:

One thing I have heard about this brand is it tends to not do much within the 20 minutes that the instructions say to leave it on, I have heard of people leaving this color on for up to an hour, so I think that's how long I will leave it.   My hair is virgin (all natural) and in good shape so this shouldn't be too damaging. 

This is my current hair color:

I don't expect that my hair will lighten to that extent but we'll see. Sometimes I am pleasantly surprised with hair color.

The dye kit is actually quite simple- it comes with developer, color, and a leave in conditioner. (I'll post pictures of what comes inside in my next post, as well as my version of English instructions because they are in Japanese ONLY)  It also has a nifty comb nozzle so you can just comb it into your hair. 

Well, I am probably going to color it today or tonight, and I will post pictures of the end result and a review next post.

Hello!

I just saw Lady Gaga's new video yesterday, and the makeup is beautiful, simple, and even wearable during the day!

This is very doable and beautiful, and you do not need to make your face pale like that either to get the desired effect.

I am practicing it now so that I can whip up a tutorial for you!

Telephone video update

Hello~




I completed and photographed one of my Telephone tutorials, but I am sick as a dog, and in my pictures I really look like it... >____< 


I really want to do it over although my makeup looked fantastic.  My raw red nose (seen even through my makeup from me blowing it all the time) isn't.




So when my nose heals up and when I get better, I will post a new vid!





Love

Updates and more!

Hello again-




I have finally got my firewire card to work.  This means... MOVING VIDEOS! (Yay!)




As you may know, I have just started a new semester of classes, meaning I'm going to be working hard.  I will do my best to update or make a video at least once a week, providing my classes allow it.


That being said, the next two videos which will probably be released at the same time are:


Lady Gaga Paparazzi Look (Silver and Black eyes)

This will also be partially done with an airbrush!

Second video-  How to apply airbrush foundation and blush

Stay tuned! <3

Madonna "Sorry" Video Look

If you haven't already known, I am a huge Madonna fan.  I love her style, her look, and how it's always changing.  One of my favorite albums is Confessions on a Dance Floor, and I saw the music video of her song “Sorry” and thought to do a tutorial!


There is a video version of this look on my channel!

(Madonna pic)




This look is relatively simple, yet glamorous and flashy enough for the club.




Here's what you need!


All makeup is by MAC unless otherwise noted. 


Face


1.Studio Sculpt concealer in NW20
2.Studio Sculpt liquid foundation in NC25
3.Sheertone Blush in Tenderling
4.Mineralize Skinfinish in Soft and gentle


Eyes


1.Urban Decay Shadow Primer Potion (The original one, not the colored one they have out)
2.Shadow in Vapour
3.Shadow in White Frost
4.Shadow in Beautiful Iris
5.Fluidline Gel liner in Blacktrack
6.Plushlash mascara
7.Charcoal Brown eyeshadow 
8.Thick fake eyelashes (even better if they have glitter on the lashline like hers!)


Lips


1.Subculture lip liner
2.Lipglass in Prr


Let's begin!
Step 1
Prime, conceal, and apply foundation to face.


Step 2
Apply a light wash of blush under your cheekbones to contour the face, then dust Skinfinish over your cheekbones, bridge of your nose, forehead and chin for a touch of glow.


Step 3
Apply primer potion to your lids and let dry.


Step 4
Fill in the eyebrows with Charcoal Brown shadow, or whichever color suits you.


Step 5
On the inner half of your lids, apply beautiful iris shadow.


Step 6
On the middle to outer lid, apply vapour shadow, then blend away the line in the middle.  It should fade from darker to lighter on the way outward.


Step 7
Apply a dusting of white frost on the browbone for highlighting.


Step 8
Using a flat angled brush, apply fluidline liner creating a very slight cat eye.  Optional: You can also apply some glitter liner here.


Step 9


Curl and coat your lashes, upper and lower. Optional: Apply dramatic, thick false lashes.


Step 10


Line your lips with the Subculture.


Step 11


Apply Prr to the lips.




Finished!
