Daily Musings

been forcing myself to document stuff. i dont know why im compelled to do it but i do. it is a mini art journal of sorts. did one for my time in california which i may or may not upload.

also, handmade macaroons from my cousin!

was secretly anticipating baked goodies from my neighbors this hari raya. but nope. sigh. (ﾉ￣д￣)ﾉ the cake baked by the granny was awesome yummy.

i had a really strange dream that day. where i had a friend (stranger irl, no idea who that is at all, but in the dream i knew we were friends) and day by day she turned into a wooden puppet. like a reverse pinnochio.

it got so bad that i would have to carry her around. in the same time as she was digressing, people who were our friends started forgetting about her, denying her existence. saying things like, "who? no, there was never such a person." and she started being erased from old photographs and such. but i was insistent that she existed and I KNEW. i could still see her. one day she finally disappeared and i could not find her. everyone's life just continued on unaffected.

i woke up so damn depressed. if what i thought was real, which everyone else denies, does it matter? if it was indeed a figment of my imagination or if it was reality. or does it matter only that it felt real. fml. these dreams always screw up my brain for a week.

been falling sick really frequently too. sigh.

Eye bag Makeup

FINALS HAVE ENDED. this semester was insane. yet it is the first semester which i felt i actually learnt anything of use. so that's good i guess. (●´∀｀●)

one thing from it was also eye bags. insane eye bags and dark rings.

so about eye bags, there is a new(?) trend in japan where makeup is actually used to enhance eye bags rather than conceal. and i was wondering why. how could eye bags possibly be great? so i tried it out.

Eye-bag Tutorial:

add off-white highlighter across eye-bag, creamy ones are better.

using a brown shadow that is about 2 shades darker than skin tone, swipe it on the crease. blend a bit but not too much else it just looks like eye rings.

since i already have eye bags, not that much of a difference. though strangely the eye bags which make a person look more tired does create the illusion of bigger eyes? (●￣(ｴ)￣●) since eye bags are part of the natural eye area, so extending/emphasizing the eye bags does make the eye proportionately bigger compared to the other features.

one side with one without. the left side of the picture is the side without, but uhm. i naturally have bad ones from the past month so yea.

with the lines drawn, it is quite significant! (」゜ロ゜)」

ok, end of post. hahaha. was just bored and curious about the trend. as strange as it sounds, it does make the eyes look bigggerrrr.

can't wait to read the books i just borrowed from the library. do you know the loan quota now is 12 books?! i went insane. lugged back 10 super heavy books with my groceries but so happy. hehh.
