Zebra Print Eye Makeup
  1. Apply Eyeshadow Base or Eye Primer all over your eyelids and crease area.(you know the drill!;P)
  2. Conceal your dark circles with concealer.
  3. Apply matte white eyeshadow all over your eyelids and crease area and all the the way up to your brow bone.
  4. Top the matte white eyeshadow with shimmery milky white eyeshadow. Blend well with a blending brush.
  5. Here`s the fun part!  Using your liquid eyeliner, draw zebra stripes alternating to start from the inner sides and outer sides of your eyelid and crease area. Drawing zebra stripes is just like drawing uneven rugged lines. Imagine stream lines.  Click on this link to learn how to draw zebra stripes. http://www.dragoart.com/tuts/4002/1/1/how-to-draw-zebra-stripes.htm
  6. Use a thin eyeliner brush to fill in more zebra lines. Make sure to do this on one eye first before the other and wait for the black eyeliner to dry before you open the eye you just worked on.

  8. Line your upper lash lines with black liquid eyeliner. Create a winged eye effect. You can draw longer winged lines to make it blend with the zebra stripes.

  10. Curl your lashes and put on your black mascara. You can also add false eyelashes for a more dramatic effect.  Define and shade your eyebrows with your choice of eyebrow pencil and voila!:D You can now flash your fierce animalistic look at the club, on your social network profile picture ;P, animal cosplay perhaps?;P (lol!), Halloween party, parent and teacher meeting at your child`s school! ;P (just kidding! lol!) or just any fun events where you can wear this look!:D Enjoy!:D

Grey/Silver and Black Smokey Eyes.


Products Used

Eyeshadow Base, Black Gel Eyeliner, Black Eyeliner Pencil, White Eyeliner, Eyebrow Pencil, Eyelash Curler and Black Mascara

Eyeshadow Colors: Milky White, Light Grey/Silver, Shimmery Black and Champagne White Colored Eyeshadow.

Blush On: Soft or Natural Pink ( The pink squares on the palette and the one below the swatched lipstick color)  and Bronzer (The brownish squares)    Lipstick: Mauve ( Purplish Rosy Pink Colored Lipstick)


How To Create a Grey/Silver Smokey Eyes Look
  1. Put on your foundation and conceal the dark circles in your eyes. Pat loose powder on the under eye areas where possible eyeshadow fallouts could fall. 
  2. Apply eyeshadow base all over your lids and followed by applying the milky white eyeshadow to set the eyeshadow base and to intensify the grey/silver eyeshadow colors.
  3. On your inner lids and crease area dab a generous amount of grey/silver eyeshadow, blending it up to the middle part of your lids and middle crease. 
  4. On the outer edges ( V-corners) of your eyelids, apply the shimmery black eyeshadow. Concentrate on shading the corners darker and blend it upwards, bringing the color towards the upper crease area or simply shading your eye sockets.   
  5. With a blending brush, blend any harsh edges and the two colors but make sure to keep the inner eyelids  lighter than the outer V-corners of the eyes.
  6. Apply a champagne white colored eyeshadow on your brow bones to add light on your eyes and to soften the edges of the darker colors. Blend it well with the colors below it.
  7. Line your lash lines with a black gel eyeliner. Create a thin winged eye look.
  8. Sweep a little amount of shimmery black eyeshadow just under your lower lash lines up to the middle part only. Then on the inner lower lash lines sweep a small amount of light grey/silver eyeshadow, connecting it to the black shimmery eyeshadow.
  9. Line your waterlines and tear ducts with white eyeliner.
  10. Tight line your upper lash lines with black eyeliner pencil.
  11. Curl your lashes and apply black mascara. ( You can also apply dramatic false eyelashes if you want.)
  12. Define your brows and sweep off the loose powder under your eyes with a brush,  preferably with a fan brush.
  13. Contour your face with a bronzer and highlight parts of your face where you want to bring forward using a highlighter.
  14. Sweep a natural/soft pink blusher on your cheeks.
  15. Line your lips with a lip liner  and apply your favorite nude, creamy or matte lipstick. Avoid intense colored, frosted or shimmery lipsticks with this look.  And your done! ;D

How I Eat Alien Eggs ( How I Simply Eat Natto )

       Natto is a traditional Japanese food. It is basically fermented soy beans and its usually eaten for breakfast. Many people mostly foreigners don`t like natto because it has a very strong smell, the texture is slimy and it  really looks like alien egg sacs!  But surprisingly natto really tastes good especially when you`re used to eating it already and when you know how you`re going to eat it your way.  Natto is also rich in protein and a very healthy food.  Here is how I simply eat my alien eggs!;P 

        
       A pack of natto contains a small packet of karashi  mustard sauce and a dashi based sauce.  I don`t like karashi  so I discard it or give it to my husband because he likes his natto with karashi mustard.  I only  use the dashi based sauce.

       
       After I mix in the dashi sauce, I sprinkle a pinch of sugar on my natto.

       
       Next, I start mixing the natto, dashi sauce and sugar until the texture becomes thick and slimier. Disgustingly slimier, the better!;D When the natto turns to my desired texture, that`s when I know it`s ready to eat. 

       Here`s how I want my desired natto texture to look like. ;) 


       Sometimes, I eat natto by itself but most of the time I like to top it on a bowl of white rice. :D Im now ready to eat these alien eggs! Itadakimasu! ;D

      There are a lot of ways to eat natto. I even sometimes add raw egg in it and I know someone who likes to eat natto with white bread! lol ;D  How do you eat natto?  Feel free to comment your style on how to eat alien eggs below! ;D
