What's in my make up bag?

Now there, gentlemen, you don't have to read this one.

I have two wedding receptions to attend this weekend, one is a reception for a friend who got married in June, and the other is having her solemnisation ceremony tomorrow! And I so want to attend, but unfortunately, I have no transport! Boohoo.

Anyway, I was trying some make up to choose the best look for tomorrow and Saturday. And I always thought I had quite a good collection, but when I laid them all out, there's barely anything, which made me quite sad. And to think that my sisters always complain that I spend too much money on make up! Although I do admit I have an unhealthy addiction to eyeshadow. I already have 17 different shades, and yet, I still go gaga everytime I see eyeshadow on eBay (that's my only shopping option now). It must be the lovely colours!


Now if there's three tips I can give on make up, it's this:
1. Invest in good brushes. I got this tip from my darling Hani, and considering she's a make up goddess, I believe everything she says. But it's true, there is a big difference in cheap brushes and proper ones, like how well the make up applies - even the feel of the bristles against your skin is enough to convert you into a believer!
2. Cheap eyeshadows don't stick properly and don't last. Paling2 cikai pun Maybelline la at least. It's not the quantity of shades that you have, but the quality. Less than 10 shades that match your skin tone are far better than a whole palette of cheap stuff.
3. Learn from the pros. Well, sort of pros. These are two people I love: Asma for the similar skin tone to mine and Michelle for the similar sepet-ness.

Toodles!
