Brow Tutorial: Using Matte Eyeshadow

Don't have an eyebrow powder to create a natural brow look? Go ahead and scavenge into your makeup collection (or your mom's!) and find a matte brown eye shadow that suits your brows best!

Products Used:

e.l.f. Beauty On-The-Go Palette

e.l.f. Angled Brush

Marionnaud N38 Brush

My favorite part of makeup application is outlining and filling in the brows. The brows always create the greatest definition to a look. It gives the greatest makeover to the face, hence, a lot of beauty bloggers say that the brows are the ones you should never skip, even if you only have seconds to run and you're in a hurry.

All you need is a Matte Brown Eyeshadow that suits your brows and hair color, and an angled brush, and you're good to go!

This is a very quick and easy brow tutorial that would give beauty and definition to your look.

Comfort and Style

Top: Bench | Skirt: Cache Cache | Bag: Long Champ Le Pliage | Shoes: Zanotti

Necklace: Gifted | Watch: Casio Illuminator Vintage Collection

After the long hiatus, here is now an outfit post!

Comfort and style at its finest. You don't have to suffer high stilettos or uncomfortable wear to achieve a stylish look. Just pair your comfortable top with a bandage skirt with your comfy platforms, and your good to go! This outfit can be worn out on a dinner with friends or family, a party with acquaintances, or even just on a visit to the mall to stroll and chill out.

This is what I wore during my mom's birthday dinner at Murray's New Orleans, SM Lanang Premier. It was interesting to have a taste of food from a cuisine that is quite new to me. We enjoyed the night with good food, fun chitchat and laughter.

I'm really lucky to have a fun and loving family.

For the past weeks, I have been really busy filming Makeup Videos and Tutorials for my Youtube Channel (MakeupByKarlaMisa) and I have look past my scheduled posts, lately have I noticed that I haven't been posting any fashion related post on my blog. So here it is!

I actually still have a lot in store for you guys for me to post here on my blog, but as always, I just do when time permits. Aside from filming Makeup Videos, I have been quite busy running errands with my mom, as well as Nanny-ing my adorable niece.

Nevertheless, I promise to myself to be more active with my blog and begin posting stuff that are not only links to my YouTube channel, teehee!

Watch out for more blog posts on the site soon!

Ever since I started having interest in makeup and in watching beauty videos, tutorials, reviews, hauls etc., I have always wanted to have my very own YouTube Channel. I was really hesitant at first since it is not that easy to film videos exposed on public in a social network, it just boils down to two results,  one could be famous from posting videos, but the downside is, it could also be an embarrassment if the video is not entertaining to the audience. 


Nevertheless, I took the risk and didn't mind all the negative thoughts running on my mind and finally set up my channel!

I used to love to my previous "baby", my Nikon D3000. The sad part is that it doesn't have movie recording which is the main reason why I wasn't able to start making my channel before.

I actually used to have poor marketing skills in selling my secondhand gadgets just because I'm not that patient in answering all of the queries of all my potential buyers that in the end, none of them buys it.

Fortunately, I woke up one day and decided to finally be active in selling my DSLR. And guess what, I sold my almost 3 year old camera!!! I was so happy since this would mean I would be able to purchase a DSLR with Full HD Movie Recording.

And finally, I did and got my new "baby" - Canon EOS 650d!

I cannot even put in words how happy I am that finally, I can film! I'm still ambivalent if I really should do this at times though, but I finally going for it! I never knew this time would come :)

All thanks to my family for the love and support!
And to my ever supportive friends who never stop believing in me!
You know who you are ;)

Photography: Tron Lagman & Mike Caliso

It was actually my first time working a photoshoot with "on the spot-acquainted" photographers :D

It all started when Celine Conanan invited me on a photoshoot with Anne Marielle Gantuangco. Without any hesitation I said yes! Little did I know, the photographers are Celine's cousins and I just knew that fact on the spot!

Upon arriving to the meeting area, I felt so shy when Celine said that her cousins are going to be the photographers. I was used to having photoshoots with friends and my good friend Jose Luis Pacquiao who is our barkada's official photographer.

Nevertheless, I had to face the situation :D 

I was really quite shy at first but eventually I had fun! Tron & Mike were very awesome in their passion for photography and they were really nice working with. They were really friendly and approachable. Overall, it was such a fun experience and the photos turned out really good! I can say that they are really good with the craft.

As an aspiring professional photographer myself, I really hope I could also improve my photography skills someday and have more photography equipment.

I hope I could post more photos soon! As soon as they're done editing :) These are only some of the shots we took on our photoshoot.

What do you think about the photos?
