Useless post.

Yo, lurkers! It's been a while since my last update.

Random picture is random.

I've completed my 2 weeks of work experience at an architectural company. It was pretty interesting and I learnt quite a lot despite acting like a noob the whole time. The director gave me a £15 voucher which was awesome. :D I'm officially on summer vacation now. So far we don't have plans to go anywhere, though I don't particularly mind since my home is so quiet and peaceful with my dad away.

Oh and a few weeks ago, some sick drunk pervert tried to molest me on my way home from work. He kept touching my shoulders and hair, and even tried to touch my chest. I was too shocked to do anything since I didn't expect something like that to happen to me. Should've kicked him in the balls. -__- I'm not going into too much detail on this incident though since it's in the past now and I've learnt what I should do next time this happens again (scream and kick him in the fawking balls).

Today I discovered that I've been applying my concealing incorrectly. The area between my nose and my upper lips are always looks dark for some reason, especially after putting on foundation, which makes me look like I have a moustache. • ~ • I kept putting on layers and layers of concealer but it still wouldn't cover up the dark patch. Then I tried dabbing on the concealer instead of rubbing it onto my skin (which I always do), and finally it covered up the dark patch! :D So yeah, if you've been applying concealer the same way I did and wondered why it doesn't work, try dabbing it onto your skin instead.

I'll probably have nothing much to do over the summer. I might actually make a useful post on a makeup tutorial or a review since a lot of lost people have been wandering onto my blog hoping to read something helpful, but then it turns out I'm just ranting about my life and my appearance, lol.

I have a couple of e-mails I should be typing but I'm feeling too lazy to do anything right now. > < I'm going to finish this entry here since I can't think of anything else to talk about. Bye bye~

Tapered eyelids + new makeup style

I've decided to give up on parallel eyelids. Less than a week ago, my right eyelid suddenly became tapered permanently so I'm not going to fight it anymore. The good thing is that I now only need to use double eyelid glue on my left eye. :D

Here's a picture I took a few days ago. I actually really like how tapered eyelids look on me now! :D

I don't know if you've noticed, but I've also changed the way I apply my eyeliner. I realised that my eyes kind of slant upwards - by that I mean the outer corner of my eyes are slightly higher than the inner corners. I haven't yet checked other people's eyes to see if this is normal but I thought maybe it's because of this that my eyes look so strange when I draw upward wings.

My eyelids are rather small, so I figured that I should stop concentrating my eyeliner on my upper eyelids, but instead on the lower eyelids. This makes your double eyelids look bigger because drawing on your upper lids makes it look thinner. I always look so creepy when I draw on my upper lids, even when it's just a thin line. This way of applying eyeliner is also good if you don't have a lot of lower eyelashes (or if they're uneven) like me.

I wish I had my eyeliner with me right now so I can demonstrate the difference between concentrating your eyeliner on your upper and lower eyelids, but it's 7 AM and I still haven't slept yet. Plus I have a bit of a head congestion and it doesn't feel very good. :x

I'm still an amateur when it comes to makeup, so don't listen to me if I'm just spewing nonsense. xD

On a random note, my mom ordered two wigs for me so I'll do a review on them when they've arrived. :D

Gosh I just realised that I haven't mentioned a single thing about my GCSE exams. I have no idea how I did. :x I'm so worried about the results of my physics though because I found the test SUPER hard and I'm hoping to take physics next year. D: Or maybe I should be an interior designer instead of an architect. I've sort of lost interest in architecture after I realised that it's so computer-based. My life would be so sad if I'm using the computer all day at work, and then using it again all day at home. My life would literally be completely computer-orientated and that wouldn't be healthy at all. x_x Besides, I really like dressing up so it would be inappropriate to go to a construction site in a frilly dress or something, lol.

I still don't know what I want to do as a career, really. I wish I could become a full-time blogger though, but then again I'm not sure if I can handle haters. :x

Appearance Upgrade

Yup, this is the list of things I need to do to upgrade my appearance!

1. Dye my hair. I want the colour in the picture below (which I edited). I think the photo-editor said that the colour was reddish-brown. Sadly, dying my hair would mean no more hair extensions because they're different colours! D: I don't want them to sit in the bottom of my drawer for the years to come. If only there's a way of dying synthetic hair extensions. Though I could dye my hair just a dark brown colour to match the extensions, but I want a colour that's dramatically different.

2. Buy brown eyebrow pencil. Since my hair will be dyed brown, I'll be dying my eyebrows as well. I'm going to need brown eyebrow pencil to fill them in. My eyebrows look pretty thick in real life, but for some reason they look really faded on camera

3. Lose weight. Because my thighs and arms look so fat, fml.

4. Pinch nose. That probably sounded weird, but pinching your nose makes your nose taller. Mine is so flat at the moment. D: The noseclip my mom asked her friends in Taiwan to buy hasn't arrived yet because they keep forgetting to put it in the parcel along with the other stuff we asked for, haha.

5. Buy an angled make-up brush. I think this would be so much easier to control because eyeliner pencils are pretty blunt, and I'm pretty good with paintbrushes already. :D It's such a waste to keep sharpening them if there's still a lot of eyeliner left, so I can just use the brush to make the lines look more defined.

6. Buy white eyeliner pencil. So that I can line my waterline and make my eyes look BIIIG.

7. Buy fake eyelashes and eyelash glue. Because they make your eyes look so big and pretty. *o*

8. Thinner jaw and smaller cheekbones. Okay I don't know how I can achieve this without plastic surgery, but I'll try massaging my bones or something.

9. Grow taller.

10. Brighten face with lemons. My face has a sickly yellow/brown look to it, which looks nasty on me. I want to use lemons to bleach away the yellowness somehow.

That's all I can think of for now. I might add to this as I go along.

Argh I really want to go to Taiwan this summer, especially since I now put on makeup when I go out. Last year when I went there, I didn't use any makeup so I feel like I wasn't at my prettiest. :x I want to look pretty in Taiwan because people there could understand the Asian sense of beauty, if you get what I mean. In England, I'm not considered to be pretty by non-Asian people but in Taiwan, almost everyone there is Asian so I get quite a lot of compliments. It makes me feel warm and fuzzy. :D

Edit: Oh gosh, I can't believe I forgot the thing I want to buy the most.

11. Buy a male wig. I want this so badly owepijrwoiejr ;__; It's either this, or a boyish haircut. But I don't want to risk looking like a little boy, so a wig would be the safe choice. I WANT A BOYISH HAIRCUT OPEJROEWIJRT.

Double Eyelids

Happy Chinese New Year (tomorrow, anyway)!

I've been thinking about making a new blog based on fashion, makeup and reviews. I'll still be keeping and writing in this blog, but this one will be centered around my personal life. I'll probably make my new blog once I get my own camera, so that people in my family wouldn't be randomly looking through it.

I have three important science exams coming up this week. I'm still not prepared for any of it! I should really be studying right now.


And now onto the main topic of this post - my tapered double eyelids are now parallel! :D My left eye has been switching between parallel and tapered lately, so I decided not to fight it and just make both eyes parallel. I quite like parallel eyelids - I always see gyarus and Asian makeup gurus with them, and it looks makes them look so cute and doe-eyed. They made my eyes look bigger and I like how I look with them more than I did with tapered eyelids. On the down side, my tapered lines are still visible, so it made my eyes look a bit weird. :x

I drew a picture to show you what I mean (sorry about the rubbishness xD):

Basically, both of the lines are visible. I'm planning on sticking eyelid tape over the tapered line so that it would eventually fade, and then stick another tape slightly above that to outline the parallel line. I don't know it'll work. x-x


Anyway, school finally starts tomorrow after two weeks of study leave and exams. I really liked study leave - you only go to school to take the exams, and stay at home for the rest of the day if you don't have any. It's so much more productive to learn at home, in my opinion, since you can skip ahead of everyone if the material's a bit too easy for you.

I think I'm supposed to write an essay due in tomorrow morning, but I'm too lazy. I asked someone in my class and she said that no one seems to have done it, so I'm going to trust what she said.

It's only 10:30 PM and I'm already sleepy. I usually sleep at 1-2 AM so this is very early for me. > < I'll just end this here, bye bye~ ♥

Back in School

So half-term holiday has ended, and I'm now back in school. Not much happened, really, but I feel like blogging.

I broke the skin of my lips yesterday so it hurts to smile. D: I can just imagine the cut on my lips being ripped and stretched apart even more. *cringe*

In art, we're painting self-portraits of ourselves on canvases. It's really fun! I think I'm doing a decent job with my painting so far, and lots of people said that it was amazing. It makes me happy~! ≧ω≦ I'm ahead of everyone so far because a lot of them took a looong time doing the gridding since we were scaling up photographs of ourselves onto a large canvas. A lot of people's drawings turned out to look disproportional and off.

My secret to painting is that I don't follow grids and draw what I see instead. I believe in looking at a whole picture instead of tiny little details. As long as the whole thing looks right, it doesn't matter if your hand is drawn higher than it should be, etc. I always make my paintbrushes rather dry in order to blend the colours well by sweeping it back and forth really quickly - like applying powder onto your face. This is only suitable for painting a large area though. /end artistic rambling

Anyway, I'll see if I can upload a photo of my painting when I've finished it. c:

I also got the results of my Latin test back today and I got 92.5%, which is alright, I guess.

I'm going to rub garlic juice on my face later to get rid of an acne outbreak I have (stupid exams and essays!). It works pretty well! Even though it burns a bit when you put it on, it's tolerable - especially when you know you're improving your looks. Seriously, clear skin makes a huge difference to your appearance.

I was going to write about something more interesting, but I can't remember. Oh well, guess I'll just end here.
