The things about the Skin

You know, the pretty looking lady you’re looking at above with just light makeup is not born like that. (Ok, I know. Thick skin alert. Lol) Those who have read my blog back from my Onsugar days should know that my skin used to be really really horrible.

Just to show you the difference. This was back in 2010, and this is still one of the better ones. I’ve some that shows red angry acne but I’ve decided I shall not put that up. But if you do look at some of my old posts, you might be able to see how bad it really is back then.

When I first started, I gone through the mistake of putting on too much makeup for the sake of covering the flaws. Slowly, I began realizing the fact that a clean canvas is the most important thing. So from makeup, I slowly devote myself to learn more about skincare, how the skin works and what sort of products is suitable for my skin.

My current skincare regime consists of products from various brands. One thing in common, is that they are all mild and suitable for sensitive skin. I’ve learnt that my skin could not take heavy cream products as they will break my skin out. So I’ve been staying to gel/lotion type of products. One personal skincare tip I have to share is to mask every other day! :)

Skin should look good when naked. I’ve always love how my skin is now after removing my makeup. Even if I do breakout once in awhile, I know that I can manage it now.

And of course, with a clean canvas you will definitely look better with makeup. You do not have to cover up so much that you will end of looking cakey or simply having too much on the face. Less is always more.

Let me show you an old photo of mine when my skin just cleared up. Do you notice any difference other then the hairstyle?

As some of you know, I did fillers for my cheeks and nose last July and the photo with bangs is after procedures. Features are definitely more define and smaller face.

With good skincare plus aesthetics to achieve that flawless skin and defined features, you will definitely look good. And of course, makeup will further enhance your overall look!

I’m definitely happy with my current looks. If you noticed, there ain’t much changes. Clearer face, more defined features and of course slimmer as I’ve lost a little weight recently. One can definitely be prettier. You just have to put in the effort!

And of course some help. Check out Myfatpocket and Aesthetics Hub for beauty tips and articles on aesthetics and embark on your journey to find the prettier you!

Makeup – My Confidence Booster

Being a Beauty Blogger, I’m exposed to many different kind of beauty products out there and of course makeup is my favorite toy. From sneakily using my mum’s makeup when I was much younger to buying my very first compact powder and now owning quite a substantial amount of makeup.

It had been a journey for me, one which I’m glad that I’ve embarked on. Of course, I don’t have great makeup application skills right from the start. It’s all practice and watching the many YT tutorials out there. I’ve enjoyed applying makeup, on both myself and others. But one should remember that makeup should be used to enhance and not to alter one’s look. It’s quite scary when there’s a huge difference before and after makeup.

 

Makeup have really boost my confidence a lot. Especially I’ve started makeup during the days when I’m suffering from acne. But I actually did make the mistake of using too much makeup when I first started. It happens when you try in vain to want to cover up your flaws without knowing the proper technique. Luckily I learnt my lessons and I follow strictly by the less is more rule! XD

 

I actually really happy to be able to blog here at MFP as I’m able to reach out to more of you ladies out there. I really wish that my blog could be of help to those who have low confidence in themselves.(I really have like confidence issues when I was suffering from severe acne)
