Doing 7 People's Makeup in One Afternoon ♥

My mom asked me to do her and her colleagues makeup as well as do a photo shoot for them. I said yes since it is a good exposure and a great practice. After I ate breakfast in the office (I work with my mom, by the way), I started to do my mom's makeup. I used most of her makeup for this, like her MAC concealer and foundation, Physician's Formula liquid eyeliner, Maybelline mascara and NYX lipstick. For her eyeshadow I used the brown side of Wet 'n Wild Color Icon 8 Pan Eyeshadow in Comfort Zone.

Here's the before and after of the 2 people I did a makeover before lunch:

Lipstick: NYX Round Lipstick in Tea Rose

Lipstick: NYX Round Lipstick in Snow White

Right after my lunch (yes, right after I swallowed my last bite of chicken), I continued with doing their makeup:

Her brows challenged me since they are not groomed and are really bushy. I didn't shaved them though.

Here's a little BTS. My back was hurting at this point because of bending. I still don't have a director's chair though.
I sat first while doing their makeup. But after I did her makeup, I stood up again to have a better control.

My first time to do a makeup on a mono lid.

She asked for a wing, and I gave her one.

She asked for thicker brows and I loved the brows after.

For all of them, I used Maybelline Pore Eraser, Rimmel Long Lasting 25 Hours Foundation (different shades), Fashion 21 Loose Powder, Contour and Highlighter Palette, Wet 'n Wild Color Icon Blushers, MUA Brow Kit, MUA Eyeshadow Palettes, Maybelline Studio Gel Eyeliner, Maybelline Turbo Volume Mascara and different lipsticks.

It was a very haggard day and I was super tired after so since I also did their photo shoot and drive home from Makati to Quezon City.  With that being said, I planked on my bed when I got home.

Wet 'n Wild Mega Last Liquid Lip Color in Red My Mind

To know how I did this look, kindly watch the video below:

Wet 'n Wild Mega Last Liquid Lip Color ♥

Liquid lipsticks or lip paints are the fad as of today. I have the liquid lip colors sitting around my makeup stash for a year now, so I decided to try it on the eve of my birthday since I wanted a long lasting lipstick that doesn't need to be touched up.

According to the website of WnW, it is described as:

Intense liquid color with built-in moisturizer provides one-step application for weightless, ultra-conditioning wear that lasts up to 8 hours. ElastiSilk™ formula combines flexible color adhesion with silky-smooth pigments for transfer-proof, even application. Paraben-free formula conditions and moisturizes with vitamin E that helps promote anti-aging, protects the skin's moisture barrier, and balances the lip's natural hydration for a healthy-looking, plump pout all day.

It has 13 shades available and today I will be reviewing the shade Red My Mind. Below is a picture of when I first applied it on my lips:

It glides on smoothly on my lips using the doe foot applicator but it needs to be precised when applied on. Another thing is that you shouldn't press your lips together while it's wet for it will make a mess. But once it is all dried up and set on the lips, it will not smudge, budge and transfer. Plus it doesn't dry out my lips even if it is a lip paint and really matte.

The liquid lip color is really long lasting since I talked, ate and drink a lot the time that I used it and it still looks nice up until the end of the night (as shown below)

Left: 5pm; Right: 1am

Here is a closer look of my lips at 1am or after 8 hours after I applied it:

I haven't tried reapplying it, so I can't say anything about that. But 8 hours of having the lip color is just perfect. As for removing the lip color, it needs to be removed by an oil based makeup remover or petroleum jelly. 

If you ask me if I would recommend it, well YES! It is affordable and has great longevity. The only thing that I hate about this lip color is the scent. It smells like a legit paint, but nevertheless this is a great product. I would definitely use this when I go partying or have a drinking session, or even when I am just to lazy to reapply lipstick throughout the day.

Eight dynamic, perfectly color-coordinated shades with high pigment and pearl for ultra-impact color. Shades can be used together or individually to create an endless variety of looks.

• They are affordable. PHP499 for 8 eyeshadow pans, basically PHP62.375 per shade. 
• The shimmers are intense.
• Buildable and blendable.
• Pigmentation is just okay.

CONS:

• Limited colors.
• Somewhat chalky.
• All shimmery eyeshadows.
