Shimmery eye and red lip day look

 

Hello everyone! I hope you are all well! As I mentioned in my biweekly basket, things have been really hectic lately but I did create a look for you guys. If you would like to know what I did, keep on reading!

 

 I started off with my foundation, Tarte Amazonian Clay full coverage in the shade Ivory. I applied that with my real techniques expert face brush. To get the best application with this brush, I make sure the bristles are just a bit wet.

 I set my foundation using my Mary Kay loose powder in Ivory, and I used a fluffy powder brush (no brand).

 I then used my Tarte Amazonian Clay brow gel in Dark Brown.

I prepped my eye lids using my Too Faced Shadow Insurance.

I used my Sephora Enchanting Eye palette; I went in with a small crease brush and the dark, cool brown shade (matte) in the palette and applied that to the crease in windshield wiper motions and circular motions to blend it out.

I then used my Physican's Formula gel shadow/liner trio. I used the second darkest shade and used my ring finger to apply that all over the lid, but not above the crease.

 I then curled my lashes.

 I used my Make Up For Ever mascara (Extravagant Smoky).

 I applied my Too Faced Milk Chocolate Soleil bronzer as a contour using a big fluffy brush. I pinched the sides of the brushes to get the brush shape that would best fit into the hollows of my cheeks.

 I then went in with my Sephora Enchanting eye palette again and applied the matte cream shade to the brow bone as a highlight.

 I used Too Faced Everything Nice Papa Don't Peach as my blush. I applied it using my Real Techniques blush brush.

 Using a small blush brush (no brand), I applied my highlight, Too Faced Everything Nice Inner Light. I applied the highlight to the cheek bones just above my blush.

  I lined and filled in my lips using MAC lip liner in Beet.

I set the look using my Make Up For Ever Mist & Fix.

 



 

 

 

Thank you for reading! I hope you enjoyed the look! Have a great rest of your week and weekend!

Emerald Green Eyes and Bold Red Lips: Tutorial Using the Too Faced Everything Nice Palette

 

Hello everyone! I created this look using my Too Faced Everything Nice palette. If you want to know how I achieved it, keep on reading!

 

 

I am starting off by applying my foundation. I am using my Tarte Amazonian Clay full coverage foundation in the shade ivory and my real techniques expert face brush.

I then set my foundation using my Mary Kay setting powder and a big fluffy brush.

For my eyebrows I used my Tarte Amazonian clay brow gel in Black Brown.

I primed my eye lids using the Too Faced Shadow Insurance.

 

I used a flat shader brush and the color Turtle Dove from the Too Faced Everything Nice palette (Dupe option: Blanc Type from MAC). This is just a matte cream color. I used this to set the primer.

I then used a flat shader brush and the color Too Glam (bottom row, third from the left) (Dupe option to consider: Teal the Truth baked eyeshadow by Milani) which is a shimmery emerald green. I applied this all over the lid.

 

 

 

 

I then used a crease brush and applied the color Fawned of you, which is a medium warm brown,(Dupe to consider: Kid from MAC) to the crease and blended it out.

 

I used a small eye liner brush and smudged some of that Too Glam all over the lower lash line.

 

 

I used a black liner and lined my upper lash line and my waterline.

 

 

I curled my lashes and used my MUFE Smoky Extravagant Mascara.

 

I primed my lips using Mary Kay Age defying lip primer. You can also use a lip liner, a little bit of foundation, or even some concealer. This helps to create a blank canvas and allows your lipstick to last longer.

 

 

I went in with the color Paper Roses (Strange from Urban Decay) and a small crease brush and applied this as a brow bone highlight.

 

I am using a big fluffy brush and my Too Faced Milk Chocolate Bronzer to contour my face. In the second picture, you can tell that I pinched the brush together to get the perfect fluffy tool to get right into the hollows of my cheeks. This allows for a more subtle contour.

 

 

For cheeks, I will be using Sweet Pink from the Too Faced Everything Nice palette. This is a nice cool pink. I used my Real Techniques blush brush to apply it.

 

 

I used the brush that comes with the palette to apply my highlight, which is Inner Light (bottom right of the picture with the face products).

 

Since I am feeling a little more daring and this could be a "going out" look, I am using MAC Russian Red for the lips.

 

I finished off the look by setting it with my MUFE Mist&Fix.

 

*Remember that you can achieve this look with shades that are similar that you might have in your collection.*

 

I hope you enjoyed the look!

 

Once again, thank you for reading!

Project Pan Seasonal Challenge: Finish 6 by Christmas

Hello everyone! Welcome back to my blog. I hope you are all doing well on this fine Monday (or whatever day you happen to be reading this :) ). I am back with a challenge from Project Pan. I first saw this challenge on Maggi's youtube channel, she goes by Curious Sparkles, her video can be found here: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=jRBxI53kf7g This challenge is basically to finish 6 products by Christmas (Dec 25).

The following are the products I have selected:

 This is a Bath & Body Works body spray in Amber Blush. The starting point is that reddish line (where I'm pointing my finger)

 This is the Milk Chocolate Soleil Bronzer. I have been working on this bronzer for a while and really just want to get it out of my collection so I can focus on the other ones that I have. This is just a deluxe sample size, I didn't really expect it to take me this long to go through.

 

 This is my Tarte Amazonian Clay full coverage foundation. The reason I am adding this one to the project is because my skin is really dry to begin with and it is exacerbated in the winter and this foundation is meant for more oily skin. I do enjoy this foundation but it just does not go well with dry skin. There's about 2/3 of the product left, it is really hard to mark/see where I am at so that is an estimate.

 

 This is the MAC lipstick in Media. I am beginning at the second line there on the cap. Still a lot of product so I hope I can finish this up.

 This is my loose Mary Kay setting powder in the color Ivory. I want to pan this because I have had it for a long time and I just need to get it out of my collection.

 

Finally, I have my Make Up For Ever lipstick in the shade N9. This is a deluxe sample size so it will go fast. I am currently at that bottom line right by the 'E' in Make. Once this one is used up, I will toss in another product to replace it.

 

If I finish any of these products before the challenge ends, I will be adding in some other products.

 

Thank you for reading!
