But not everyone can afford them. At least, not me. I cannot cough up coins to catch some shoes most likely I will wear only once.
And yet, I still wanted a pair. A pair of shoes cool and sleek, without breaking bank. Cute and wearable. None came along that seemed worth it to me. So with some old fabric and trusty tools at home, I made my own. And with that, I made a tutorial.

Yes. Yes, I do.
But not as much as you would think. Or perhaps, even more than you think. Depending on how much you believe this illusion of beauty I seem to portray. For those objective OOTDs and Instagram, I enjoy patting powders and sharpening lines. Strong makeup looks incredible in photos.
Reality is a much different story.
The kind of makeup I wear for daily life differs from what I wear for events. In reality, I wear glasses. I run errands with my mother. I catch up with close confidants, who have watched me burp the alphabets in awe and disgust. These days, I apply makeup quickly.
And on one of these days, I decided to film it.
' I W A N T E Y E B R O W S O N F L E E K . '
Says everyone and their mother.
Some girls are naturally born with beautiful full brows but I wasn't one of them. While my baby sister inherited my mother's thick arched shape, I took on my father's sparse brow. So uncontrolled and shapeless. With the rise of the brows, I did what any sixteen year old with low self-esteem and inflated ego would do.
Drew on fake eyebrows for years. Until I was proficient enough to warrant a tutorial.

A lot more than I should honestly.
It started quietly, with a powder and mascara. Then exploded into a flurry of shadows, bronzers and falsies. A comparison between 14-Year-Old Me and Present Me will highlight the elevated makeup growth. And while I try to improve my skills as I grow older, there are looks I still rely on. This basic eye shadow look being one of them.
With many requests to film an eye look, I decided to film this Basic Eyeshadow Tutorial over on my Youtube!

At least I do. On the days you want to feel prettier than you already are, makeup is available. Patting faces in powders and carefully curated liner and lashes. In only two hours, you go from a bare three to a solid 7.5. Self-esteem levels explode without any prior confidence necessary.
So in my first Youtube tutorial, I decide to amp up a simple look for those 'once-in-a-while' pretty days. Excuse my bare naked face.
Every boy's dream. To get shot in the face.
This is my brother, Adam. Barely fifteen, barely through puberty with a barely there moustache to prove it. Since my face is still sore from the Trypophobia SFX makeup, he is my model today. I asked what he’d like me to do and he answered ‘Can you turn me into a Kaiju with really, big awesome teeth and huge horns?’
I said no.
Instead, he’s going to help me teach you how to make a basic bullet wound!
I get annoyed when someone tells me I should wear natural makeup. As if no one should know I'm wearing makeup. That 'Natural' Beauty. Flawless skin, beautiful brows, luscious lips. 'Try to look more natural,' they tell me. Then they show me a picture of Kylie Jenner and I cackle and gag simultaneously.
That said, I do remember when I was just starting out. When I wanted to look natural, with simple, easy steps that wouldn't take eternity to finish. So here is for those who want just a natural look. Whether you're a beginner, or just finding an easy look...
Here is a makeup tutorial!
Sparks ignite when we collide. Your cobalt eyes pierce through this jilted heart of mine. Let us entwine with coil and wire. Static shocks run through our veins when we set this power ablaze. We conduct jolts, you and I. These jolts to electrocute and execute.
Tell them what we are. We're magnetic, we're voltaic, we're electric.
Raise your hand if you're a lipstick hoarder.
From pinks to browns to black, I am a lipstick hoarder through and through. While I have a plethora of shades at my disposal, I don't have the space in my disposal. My packed lipstick drawer made me realize these lippies needed to shrink if I wanted more.
After much googling and experimenting, I found the best (at least, the easiest) way to do. It's not as hard as it seems. At first.
So here is a step-by-step tutorial on how to depot your lipsticks!
This would have been more appropriate to post before Eid Al-Fitr.
I can go on about Eid, the long days under the sun as you travel house to house. By the end of the day, you will look like a panda. Both in face and size. I felt it was my mission to find a way to keep makeup stay longer, or at least, not worst.
So here are five ways to make your makeup last throughout the day!
Strobing is a thing now. Apparently.
It's the latest Summer trend. To replace the crowned 'contour' trend of 2014. I don't care for contour on most days, it's just for formal occasions when you want to look way more attractive. Most days, I stick to highlighter.
Imagine my exasperation when all the new sites and all my friends started raving about strobing. A technique used to create a dewy, shiny glow to the skin that looks almost unreal. Which it is. I have thrown a fan brush across the room and screamed 'It's highlighting!' at least once.
So here is an easy tutorial on how to get that ethereal glow to the skin!
She was born from purpureus smoke. Shrouded in pale dust and ash, she sits on a throne made of spikes and lifts a gentle hand. Sand and soot swirl around her fingertips, transforming into silhouettes of songs. Faceless figures arose, shadows that bent to her feet.
With a swat of her wrist, they vanished. They obeyed, they worshiped, they feared. They watched her burn in sweltering flames. Watch her rise from their screams.
