Biweekly Makeup Basket

Makeup basket: December 18^th – December 31<sup>st

Hello everyone! Welcome back! I apologize for not posting this sooner but things were a bit hectic this weekend. The following are the makeup products that I am currently focusing on:


For eyes, I am focusing on my Kat Von D Metal Matte palette. Sadly, this baby was limited edition. However, she did just release new mini palettes that I believe use some of the lighter colors of this palette. So if you are interested, check that out! This new one is a Sephora exclusive and it is limited edition as well.</sup> https://www.sephora.com/product/metalmatte-mini-eyeshadow-palette-P425729?skuId=2013035&om_mmc=ppc-GG_381463959_27499870479_pla-178160945799_2013035_97594845039_9023850_c&country_switch=us&lang=en&gclid=EAIaIQobChMIx-6C2PmZ2AIVxxuBCh2E7wfzEAYYASABEgKr9PD_BwE&gclsrc=aw.ds  


For blush, I will be focusing on Tarte Peaceful. 


For highlight, I will be focusing on iSOCiETY COSMETICS eye cream shimmer in oh baby. This is a beautiful creamy, shimmery baby pink shade. 

I will not pick specific lipsticks I will be using but I think I will probably focus on reds given the holiday season.

Thanks so much for reading! I hope to have another holiday look up soon.

Holiday Makeup Look

Holiday Look using Tarte Tarteist Pro Palette

Hello all! Today I wanted to experiment with some makeup looks for the holidays. This look would be great for either a day time party or a night time party. If you want to know how I achieved it, keep on reading!

As usual, I started off priming my eyes with my UD primer potion. I set that with the shade classic (a matte vanilla shade).

I then took the shade Mod, a sort of watermelon pink in a matte formula and applied that to the crease using a big crease brush.

I also blended a bit of the shade no filter (a taupe-y purple matte) on the crease.

I then took the shade drama which is a boysenberry type shade and concentrated that in the outer V. 

Using my ring finger, I applied the shade minx which is a shimmery maroonish color, to the lid and blended up to the crease.

I moisturized my face with my farsali rose gold elixir.

To correct and conceal the under eyes I used NYX corrector in fair and Too Faced Born this way concealer in fair. I used the smaller end of a damp beautyblender.

For foundation, I used my Tarte Amazonian Clay full coverage in fair beige and the larger end of the damp beautyblender.

I set my under eyes with my Laura Mercier secretly brightening powder and a dry beautyblender.

I set my foundation with my Physicians Formula powder and a large powder brush.

I cleaned off the excess powder from my under eyes using a clean angled fluffy brush.

To fill in and set my brows, I used my NYX pencil in dark brown and my essence make me brow in brownie brow.

I used the shade vintage, a matte light pink as my brow bone highlight.

For contouring, I used the shade Taupe from my Lorac Pro palette.

I used my iSOCiETY COSMETICS blush in the shade lady bug.

For a face highlight, I used iSOCiETY COSMETICS cream highlight in oh baby and dabbed that on with my finger.

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

I used my sample mascara from Lancome in Monsieur Big. This mascara is okay, it is volumizing but it is also very clumpy.

I then smudged a bit of the shade Mod to my under eyes.

Finally, to finish the look, I used a lipstick by feral cosmetics in the shade Envy.

If you want to turn this look into a night look, you could also add some falsies and some liner to the water line. I hope you enjoyed this look!

As usual, thank you for taking the time to read this!

Urban Decay Gwen Stefani Eye Palette

Burgundy Smoky Eye

Hello everyone! This past weekend I created this burgundy/dark reddish brown smoky eye look using my Urban Decay Gwen Stefani palette and wanted to share the look. It is pretty simple to achieve and is appropriate enough for every day use (that is if you are like me and wear dramatic makeup for work). To know how I achieved it, keep on reading!

To start, I used UD Primer potion and set that with the shade danger, which is a light brown, dark vanilla shade. It is also matte.

I took a combination of Anaheim (cool midtone brown) and Zone (warmish midtone brown) and applied those to the crease blending back and forth.

For the lid shade, I used the color Punk, a burgundy brown matte shadow and applied that with a flat shader brush up until the crease shade.

I moisturized my face with my farsali rose gold elixir.

For under eyes, I used my NYX corrector in fair and my Too Faced Born this Way concealer in fair. I used a damp beauty blender to blend that.

For foundation I used Tarte Amazonian Clay full coverage in fair beige.

To set my under eyes, I used a dry beautyblender and my Laura Mercier secretly brightening powder.

I used Physicians Formula powder to set my foundation.

I then wiped off the excess powder from my under eyes.

I used NYX brow pencil and essence gel for my eyebrows.

For a brow bone highlight, I used the shade Blonde, a shimmery yellow toned cream color.

I smudged a little of punk to the lower lash line.

I used the shade Taupe from my Lorac Pro palette as a contour shade.

For blush, I used iSOCiETY COSMETICS in lady bug.

I used iSOCiETY COSMETICS on ice as a face highlight and applied directly with my ring finger patting to blend.

I set everything with my Mario Badescu Rose water spray.

For mascara, I used Lancome Monsieur Big. This is supposed to be a volumizing mascara. I actually am not convinced if I like it or not. I have not really noticed much of a difference (maybe you can tell by my facial expression hahaha).

For lips, I used my Nars Velvet lip glide sample in the shade Bound. 

That is it for the look! If you want to take this to a night look, you can always swap the lipstick for a more intense lipstick like a maroon red such as Tarte Killin it or Colourpop Tulle. You can also add some falsies for some extra "oomph".

I hope you all enjoyed this look! I really enjoy these types of looks particularly for fall/winter. 

As usual, thanks so much for reading!
