You’re moleless.. you’re cuter.. your hairs longer.. you’re skinnier…. what? how can it be?

In reality, we are all two-faced and yet, when we see some bxtch/whore we dislike.. (hate is too strong of a word), we yell behind their back “XXX IS A TWO FACE BXTCH/SLUT/(INSERT A ZILLION BAD WORDS)!”
Without realising, we are actually all presenting two aspects of ourselves on the two vertical halves of our faces. What’s going on? Each side of our face is amazingly affected by the nerves of the opposite side of the brain, which means that.. like our own bodies, our left and right sides are not identical.

Now, what we usually see in the mirror is the more “private” side of our face (left), and what other people see is the “public” side of our face (right). The left side is linked to the right brain, which is less pleasant in comparison to the left brain, hence your left side is more likely to send out negative emotions, whilst your right side tends to seem more positive and optimistic.
Luckily, the right side of the brain has more control than the left side, and hence it overtakes the way we literally face the world and the way we face others.

Now, truth is, studies have shown that most people’s eyes are drawn to the left – which is the right side of the other person’s face. However because we can’t see ourselves, we will only ever be able to see the left side of our face through a mirror or reflection.
So.. say you’ve spent an hour getting ready to go out on a date.. you won’t actually look the way you looked like when you stared at the mirror.. to your date. AND SO.. when we think we look our best in the mirror, we are only simply satisfied with how the left side of our face is looking.

Now, by taking a picture of yourself and then flipping the picture around, you’ll find that you will like the mirror image more. But if you took the pictures and showed your boyfriend.. he would say the reverse. This is because we are all so used to seeing the left side of our face that we never really get to see ourselves “the correct way around”. Or is it really the correct way? Are we two-faced?
Try taking your own picture, mirror-reversing it.. then see which one you like better! Or even more interestingly, you can place two mirrors side by side in a right angle and watch yourself “the way others see you”!

I also found that some photographers will use this as a little trick when doing photo-shoots for others. He/she will purposely mirror-reverse the photo they take of you, such that you will most likely dislike seeing the “real you”.. yet others will love it and compliment! And then, because we’re human and loves compliments, if everyone else loves it, you’ll end up being just as happy. Simple!

Now, back on track with tha-beauty-topics!

Review:
I think the MAC lipsticks were abit too dry on me. I love MAC Brew because it wasn’t calling out “I’m dying” colour. It gave me a warm, yet nude look. The colour was very similar to Revlon Nude Attitude but Nude Attitude was more of a “flesh” tone, whereas Brew was a warmer tone. MAC Fleshpot was just a disaster to me (sorry to those who love it). It’s great for concealing the lips, but it made me look way too sick (…like.. dying sick). I found it was also very dying.. and my lips would just start cracking. It’d give me the same affect as any other concealer.
I love Mabelline Nude Glow and use it top off with every nude lipstick I own! I’ve used it on MAC Fleshpot the most cause Nude Glow is a bit of a warmer tone and pretty much “makes me alive again” when pairing up with Fleshpot.
LacVert OR200 is a great colour! It’s very pigmented and not very drying. However, I don’t use it much cause I melted it before so the lipstick is soft and gooey :( …and don’t remember where I purchased it!? It’s a Korean brand I think?
And the NYX Sparkling Gold was basically just put there for comparison! It’s a darker gold colour and not too bad when placed ontop of concealer/Fleshpot!

I dug out an old picture where I was wearing MAC Brew with Mabelline Nude Glow.

Hope the review helped!
