Tips & Tricks I used on my Daily Makeup Routine
Being a beauty blogger, I haven't really do a post that shares how I apply my makeup everyday and what's my best way to achieve the best makeup look on me. So here it is! I will demo my daily basic makeup tips and tricks using the products from 1028 Visual Therapy.
Note: The brand/products did not affect the way I apply makeup everyday even though this post is meant to write about 1028 Visual Therapy's brand products. I will still share the actual way that I apply my makeup, except that it's by using these specific products.
Anyway this time I think I should share my daily makeup look video first before you go into my makeup tips + review on all of the products below.
Without further ado, let's get straight into the post shall we!
The very first step of my makeup routine is foundation. Even though I should use primer on my problem skin but sometimes I'm just too lazy, and think that my moisturizer is good enough to act as the base. (Ok I think this is not really a good tip to start with, LOL!)
The most important 2 requirements for my foundation is a definitely lightweight + great coverage because I don't like to see flaws on my skin after I spent time to make myself looked pretty, you get how I feel?? Sorry not trying to be emotional but anyway, my recent favourite is the 1028 Moisture Infusion CC Essence Cream with SPF 30 PA++.
Don't get fooled by the product packaging (cause I did :\), it looked like a sunscreen to me when I first received it but hey! It's a CC cream with good coverage! :D
Next up I love to use a finishing powder (either compact or loose powder) on top of my foundation, like seriously, even though I'm using a matte foundation, it's still a must for me to apply finishing powder to set my foundation, and also to make sure my skin is matte-matte, no shiny!
My skin tends to be shiny throughout the day especially under my eyes area which will also enhance the appearance of my ugly eye bags & pores!
The 1028 Visual Therapy Ultimate Oil-Control Powder is also my recent favourite cause look at the packaging itself! The mini princessy design was made for me ok!
This compact powder is kind of perfect for my cause it's
Let's move on to eyebrows. If you followed my blog/social media since last year or earlier, you know that I did eyebrow embroidery 9 months ago.I haven't been using eyebrow products quite a while, but I still wanna share how I draw my eyebrows with this 1028 Longwear Eyebrow Definer in the shade #02 dark brown cause eyebrow is very important in everyone's look!
From the outer look itself, you think it's just an ordinary eyebrow pencil with a groomer attached on the other end and that's it?! You Are Wrong!
This eyebrow pencil has a rhombus-tip shape allows you the perfect control to create the desired eyebrow shape!
And one more thing is that it has a sharpener behind the groomer! Honestly it's my first time seeing eyebrow pencil has sharpener with it! Why isn't this implemented in every eyebrow pencils that I used before?!
And also, I can't believe I forgot to take picture of the sharpener but I showed it in my video so watch it to see this part okay??
Anyway, yes I have to say this eyebrow pencil is awesome! My requirement of a perfect eyebrow pencil is all in this product:
Product Name: Longwear Eyebrow Definer
Now to the most interesting part of my makeup routine is my eye makeup! Ya know, the eyes are the first thing we see in a person, so it has to be looking good!
The most common eyeshadow colour is always the brown shades, so among the 3 types of eyeshadow palettes that 1028 has (brownie/macaroon/mont blanc), I went for the Brownie Palette Kit as they are so multi-functional!
Personally love the middle 2 shades and used them the most - the champagne beige shade & lightest brown colour.
The champagne beige colour has a little bit of glitter which I think it's a great highlighter on my cheek bones as well! And the middle brown is great for shading/contouring too!
Tip #1: Even if I'm in a rush, I will always apply brown shade onto my crease and blend it to look like I have a deeper crease. Trust me, it does make my eyes looked bigger.
Tip #2: I will also apply the white/silver/light colour on the inner corner of my eyes to make my eyes look bigger and popped as well.
Using the same palette, I use the champagne colour as my cheekbone's highlighter, and the brown colour to contour my nose. I don't do this everyday but most of the time I love to enhance my feature with these steps.
For eyeliner, if it's not a super smooth pencil eyeliner, I would always prefer liquid pen eyeliner with a pigmented colour, tear-proof and smudge-proof. The 1028 Infinity Longwear Black Eyeliner has it all!
What brings out your eyes even more is mascara! The 1028 Hook Mascara is also my current favourite cause it has a special wand shape that I have never seen before!
As from the name itself, the brush of this mascara is in a hook shape because it's meant to hook up every single eyelashes to make sure every lashes are well combed and curved up! Unlike a lot of the mascara out there, this brush won't make your eyelashes clumpy, instead you will see your lashes are all being combed evenly!
At the last few steps of my makeup, I apply blusher and favourite lipstick of the day depends on my mood. These 2 are also an important steps in my routine cause these 2 products make me looked more healthy!
Lastly, I apply the Ultimate Oil-Control Powder under my eyes to prevent my eye makeup from smudging throughout the day, even though I should trust the smudge-proof function of the eyeliner. It also has a little bit of brightening effect so why not!
And that's all for my makeup tips & tricks! What do you guys think? I hope ya'll learn at least 1 thing from my tips up there cause I really love the way I apply my makeup at the moment. Gonna look back in few years time to see how my makeup technique change!
I think I should mention this again, even though it's a review post for 1028 products, I'm surprised that I don't really have any negative comments on all of these items above, hence I said they are all my current favourite, and yes they are really all my current favourite!

The most common eyeshadow colour is always the brown shades, so among the 3 types of eyeshadow palettes that 1028 has (brownie/macaroon/mont blanc), I went for the Brownie Palette Kit as they are so multi-functional!

| Look at the paw prints design! So cute! And I love the cursive writing font as well! |
 |
| The perfect tip of eyeliner - not too thick nor too thin, not too hard nor too soft, and it's smooth! |
 |
| Even though the eyeliner is not too thin, but the thin nib able to draw a super thin line for a natural eyeliner look! |
 |
| My rounder-eyes makeup tip: I love to apply the eyeliner under my 1/3 (or less) of my lower lash line. |
