Dominique Cosmetics Latte Palette Look 1

Another Neutral with Purple lips.....



I am not sure if you are able to tell yet but.... I do love neutral eye looks with bright bold lips! Here is another example of a look using a different palette and the purple lipstick. 


To start off, I primed my lids using NYX eye shadow base and set that using the shade cream from Lorac Pro. 


I applied the shade Caramel, which is a tan shade (perfect if you are pale and need a transition shade), and applied that to the crease. 


I took the shade Double Shot, which is a nice purple matte shade, and applied that to the outer v. 


For the lid, I applied the shade Macchiato, which is a shimmery light gold/silver shade. It is very beautiful and looks a bit different based on the angles you look at it from. At times, it looks like it has a pinkish rose gold shift to it. 

For concealer, I combined the benefit Boi-ing concealer with my Nars Radiant Creamy concealer in vanilla and applied that to the under eyes.


For foundation, I combined a tiny bit of the Tarte Rainforest of the Sea concealer in fair light with my Tarte foundation in fair light neutral.


I set the under eyes with Laura Mercier transluscent setting powder and a fluffy angled brush.


I set my face with my Physician's formula pressed powder and a large fluffy brush.


I filled in my brows with the shade espresso from the Lorac Pro palette.


To set my brows, I used the essence make me brow gel in brownie brow.


For contour/bronzer, I used the shade Taupe from Lorac Pro.


For blush, I used the eye shadow shade Mauve from my Lorac Pro palette.


For highlight, I used the shade Nude from the Lorac Pro palette.


I set my makeup with my Mario Badescu Rose water spray.


I then lined my eyes using my Tarte Sex Kitten liquid liner.


For mascara, I used the UD Troublemaker and applied two coats to the top lashes.


For lipstick, I used the MAC shade in Heroine. 

I hope you enjoyed this look! I know it is pretty basic, but this is one of my go-to looks. 

Thanks for reading!

TheBalm: Nude Beach Look #4

Neutral Eye Look with Purple Lips



Hello everyone! I am back! I have a toooon of posts to do as I have fallen rather behind on blogging. I want to continue on with another look using TheBalm Nude Beach palette. This time, a created a bronzy lid and paired that with a cool toned purple lipstick. If you want to know what products I used, keep on reading.


I primed my lids with the NYX eye shadow base. I think this base does a decent job but I have definitely tried better ones out there. I then set that with the shade Cream from my Lorac Pro palette.


I then took the shade Bodacious, which is a warm burnt orange and applied that to the crease.


I took the shade Brave, which is a shimmery dark burgundy and applied that to the outer V and blended it a bit towards the burnt orange shade.


Finally, I took the shade Breathtaking, which is a shimmery gold shade and applied that to the lid.


For my under eyes, I began with my benefit Boi-ing concealer and applied that to the darker parts of my under eyes. I used my ring finger to blend that out.


I then applied the Tarte Rainforest of the Sea concealer in the shade fair-light and blended that out with a beautyblender. 


For foundation, I mixed a bit of my Tarte Amazonian clay foundation in fair beige and the Rainforest of the Sea foundation in fair-light neutral. I used my Rainforest of the Sea foundation brush to blend that out.


To set my under eyes, I used my Laura Mercier translucent setting powder and a fluffy angled brush.


To set the face, I used my Physician's Formula pressed powder and a big fluffy brush.


I skipped filling in my brows as I had just had them waxed. But I used my essence make me brow in brownie brow to set them.


I used the shade Light Pink from the Lorac Pro as a brow bone highlight and a little on the inner corner of the eye to brighten up.


I then took the shade Taupe from the Lorac Pro and applied that as a bronzer/contour.


For blush, I used the iSOCiETY COSMETICS blush in lady bug.


For highlight, I used the Laura Mercier Matte radiance highlighter.


I set everything using my Mario Badescu Rose water spray.


For mascara, I used Urban Decay Troublemaker and applied two coats to the top lashes.


I finished off the look with MAC lipstick in Heroine. 

I hope you enjoyed this look! I love pairing bold lips with more neutral eye looks. 

Thanks for reading!

May 2018 Monthly Makeup Basket

Hello everyone! It's time for another round of monthly makeup baskets. Here are the items I will be focusing on for the month of May.

For eyes, I will be using my new Dominique Cosmetics Latte palette. I am really excited to have gotten this palette. I think it is a nice blend of warm shades along with cooler toned shadows, and jewel tones. 


For lips, I will be focusing on the ISH lip palette, this way I can maximize the shades I can create and use. 


Finally, for blush, I am going back to my Tarte Amazonian Clay blush in Peaceful.

Stay tuned for some looks using these products!

As usual, thanks so much for reading!
