From The Desk of Michelle Tiangco...

Remedies of a Broken Heart, and Tips and Tricks vis-a-vis Le Maquillage

Remedies of a Broken Heart
The best and most attainable cure, ladies, is a night in. Sure, a night on the town is great, but let's face it- in most cases, a little R&R can (and will) go a long way. No need to stress if you look good enough to paint the town red, hanging with some of your closest friends can mend the most tattered of hearts.

Don't try to get the boy back who left you. Instead, celebrate your independence, your joie de vivre! And if that means getting cut off after a couple of drinks, then the friend who is cutting you off is usually doing you a favour- you don't want to end up swapping spit with a John Doe who won't remember you in the morning or having foreign phone numbers calling you in the wee hours of the night.

The main point, ladies, is that boys shouldn't be the epitome of our existence, and if a good one should come and go, remember (if he went) then maybe he wasn't so good anyway.

Le Maquillage
Kickin' it Old School: The bascis of makeup application
  • Foundation
  • Concealer (if needed)
  • A rosy or peachy blush
  • Lip balm
  • Mascacara
However, I sometimes find going au naturel is sometimes the best morning routine, especically when there's a dollop of mascara on your eyelid that just refuses to rub off.

Glammin' It Up: LASHES LASHES LASHES!
I may admit, if I'm in a festive mood... or feeling low... I will whip out the false lashes to add an extra oomph to my step. For you ladies who are graced with long luscious lashes, mascara will do the trick. To add volume a little trick is to put eyeliner at the top rather than the bottom inner rip of our eye. It will thicken the look of your lash and make you look doe-eyed.

Adding a vibrant lipstick to your beauty regime will also do the trick. A red, bright magenta, or even a darker hue can make or break your look.
To make it:
Make sure it's the right shade for you- we're not all porcelain-skinned so, yes that shade that looked smokin on Scarlett Johannson may not exactly be the best for you.
Don't go overboard. Yes, lips are a main feature on your face so if you've already made your eye the focal point, it isn't advisable to put on the ruby red lips. Unless of course you're going for a really fierce, "I-know-exactly-what-I'm-doing/Striking-a-Vogue-pose" look. And if it goes well, then go for it! There's just a fine line between glam and you're-so-made-up-I-cannot-see-your-real-face.

The most important thing is to have fun with your makeup, but just don't let it wear you!
