Hi, all, today we'd love to share with you our daily essentials for EYE MAKE UP to give you guys some inspiration to look your best and make those eyes sparkles! From a DAY look to more flashy NIGHT look, you can achieve them all with all the tools that we share!
You'll read how each one of us blab about our precious finds, and most important items!
While Odri is a make up artist by demand (*go check her personal blog!), I am the crappy one when it comes to a proper beautiful make up. I do love watching all the make up tutorials and reading all the make up review. There are so many actresses’ makeup to try,
I feel like bursting out, don't get me wrong I love everything about makeup, the
idea of putting something onto my face makes me excited, I love buying them
especially when they are in cute shapes, fancy packaging and attractive colors,
but whenever I’m in front of the mirror there are only two types of makeup I can do, the SIMPLEST one and the HARDEST one.
To be specific we are
putting out our preference for eye makeup essentials and here are what Nomi’s HARDEST-eye-makeup-troops.
- Naked Palette from Urban Decay Eyeshadow. I think there is no any girl in the world that doesn't have this palette, so I must get one for myself. HAHA! It does come with pretty colors though with my poor makeup ability I most often only use Virgin and Sin for the inner corner of my eye and the beautiful shimmery gold Half Baked for the middle section of my water line.
- Shady Lady from The Balm Eyeshadow. Super love the leopard packaging!! This eyeshadow comes with very lovely shimmery dark brown color, so pigmented you only need a little amount of it. I put this on the outer section of my waterline. I know by now you must have understood how crappy I am, such a pretty color yet I only use it for one third of my waterline.
- Lavie Lash in Amaryllis Faux Lashes. Oh this faux lashes is so pretty and I’m a sucker for fancy packaging. It is lightweight and is made from real human hair so it looks really natural.
- Anna Sui Eyelash Curler. Super love this eyelash curler, at first I bought it just because it’s black and fancy but now it has become my soul mate.
- Urban Decay Eyeprimer. If you have an oily eyelid and you want your eyeshadow stays put or you just love to put more products onto your face like me, you better invest on this magic purple bottle.
- Maybelline Black Liquid Eyeliner. I recently found this eyeliner when I was wondering around a drugstore, turns out it is quite good. It comes with thin pointy brush, suitable for people with small eyelids like me to create a sharp cat eye. Oh and it’s very durable as well, I wear this eyeliner to RPM class or yoga class and it stay still perfectly.
- Maybelline The Falsies Volum’ Express Waterproof Mascara, I swear to God finding the perfect mascara is even harder than finding a boyfriend! For me it has to be elongate, thicken, dramatic, intense black, waterproof, smudgeproof, stands the test of RPM and yoga class. This mascara does a good job to answer all of those.
- Cover Girl Lash Blast Volume Waterproof Mascara. Ok, another great mascara that answer all of those tests above.
- Maybelline Great Lash Waterproof Mascara. Yep, another great mascara to compete with the previous two.

If you notice I spread out three different mascara is because I
really put on three different mascara and it has to be in an exact order,
purple (Maybelline The Falsies Volum’), orange (Cover Girl Lash Blast Volume)
and pink (Maybelline Great Lash). The purple one does amazing job in lifting
and elongating, it gives the sweet, pretty and natural effect, while the orange
one gives the more dramatic thick and black effect and last the pink one adds
on the final lengthening job at the tip of your lashes.
If you have small eyes, small
eyelids, a small space between your eyes and your eyebrow and a your eyes are
hooded like mine, I found it no use spending time and effort to do complicated eyeshadow job (unless you are really good at it), because by the time I open my
eyes or smile nobody can even see my eyelids and all the hard working I put on.
People can only see my eyelash. That explain a lot on why I love anything about
eyelashes. Therefore my SIMPLE eye makeup troops would consist of eyelash
curler and mascaras, well.. sometimes eyeliner if I feel like I want to.
You've see that Nomi use 3 mascara's for her look, then I'm no different when it comes to my EYEBROWS! My Eye Make Up Essentials includes my usual routine in doing my eyes up to the brows, because I believe you'll be okay without your eyeliners or eyeshadows but you can't go anywhere without having your eyebrows fixed !
This is my day to day products but I tend to play around with several different items on the list for a more instant-glam look during night time, so here are Odri's Eye Make Up Essentials.
- Made in China Eyelash Curler. No kidding, this is just a regular eyelash curler I bought on a hurry since I lost my heated eyelash curler. In exchange to that, I usually heat this mascara with a hair dryer on for 2 minutes before applying them to my eyes. In most days, I skipped this step due to laziness :)
- Not only I apply this to my entire face before make up, I also use it for my eyelids as this Etude House Goodbye Pore-Ever Primer Essence are very smooth and turns out to be pretty long lasting to hold my make up.
- Lavie Lash in Hepburn Faux Lashes. Since it was named after my favorite icon Audrrey Hepburn, this could be my favorite pair of human-hair faux lashes. Being light and thick at the same time is the best option I could get for an instant wow factor for my eyes!
- H&M 6 Pack Eyeshadow Pallette . Although I find this palette are more subtle and not too pigmented, I love to wear them daily, especially the gold color for my entire eyelid and also under the eye for a sparkle effects.
- Etude Lash Perm All Shockara Mascara. They don't call it Shockara for nothing, because I really find it shocking for my eyelash to popped right away after I apply this mascara 2 times for my upper and lower lash! This is my perfect mascara for volumizing, curling, lengthening and waterproof all in one.
- Maybelline Black Liquid Eyeliner for a simple line and suits for my day look.
- NYX Eyebrow Cake Powder. Not only this has a perfect mix to fill my natural looking eyebrow, a little taupe color & highlight them with ash color-, the wax and both of its teeny tiny brush & angled brush really comes in handy. *STEP 2*
- Etude House Color My Brows Brow Mascara in No 4 Natural Brown. This is how I set my brows, I apply them after I finish all my brows step for a finer finished look. *STEP 4*
- Viva Eyebrow Pencil in Brown. This so-called dupes for Annastasia Beverly Hills Dipbrow Pomade in Auburn has been around for more than 20 years in Indonesia! A local must haves for all Indonesian ladies out there. With a great lasting quality ( Made In Japan) this is my ultimate items to outline my brows before the filling process. *STEP 1*
- Maybelline Eye Studio Lasting Drama Gel in Blackest Black. A gel liner to instantly dramatize my look for an evening event that I usually adds up on last minute.
- Inez Color Contour Plus Eyeliner in Floral White. Another Indonesian local brand (yet this pencil is Made in Czech) and I use this mostly to highlight space under my brows and on my waterline.
- Soap & Glory Arch De Triumph Two Step Shaping & Highlighting Crayon. Been using this before I know how to properly fill my eyebrows (you can see from the pic it no longer in its usual size) and usually use this to outline and highlight my brows. Loving the Buff swatch (highlighter) for its creamy texture, I practically apply them anywhere I need to highlight, in exchange to a creamy/ liquid highlighter. *STEP 3*
You've already saw Nomi's fave too and now it's time for you to choose which one to follow, better Lash (Nomi) or better Brows (Odri) ? Or BOTH!
Buhbye for now,
