Gold, Brown, and Teal Makeup Look
Posted on February 22, 2012 | 13 CommentsWhile I was coming up with this eye makeup, I decided to add some teal in an unexpected place. The teal stands out in pictures and in person, especially since the rest of the eye shadows are neutral, but it's still pretty subtle at the same time. I used my new Urban Decay 24/7 Waterproof Liquid Eyeliner in "Siren" -- a beautiful teal with blue shift. I applied it along the outer half of my lower lash line. I added MAC "Electric Eel" on top of it to make the liquid liner look blended out. Read more... -
Tough as Taupe Makeup Look
Posted on February 8, 2012 | 6 CommentsThis is a great everyday makeup look featuring Maybelline Color Tattoo 24 Hour Eyeshadow in "35 Tough as Taupe" (see my review). I actually like this as a wedding look as well -- just add some false lashes! :) Tough as Taupe has great staying power. This Color Tattoo doesn't budge or fade, even though my eyes tend to get watery. I don't wear my makeup for 24 hours straight to be able to test Maybelline's claim, but I can happily say that it stays put for as long as I need it to! Read more... -
Natural Makeup Look
Posted on December 5, 2011 | 13 CommentsI've received some requests for a simple everyday makeup look that would work for those without a crease. This simple everyday makeup is applied the same way, regardless if you have a crease or not. The main eye shadow is applied on the entire lower lid, then blended upward using a windshield wiper motion to fade it into the highlight color. I used brown liquid liner here, but a kohl pencil or eye shadow a few shades darker than your eye lashes gives the most natural look. Read more... -
Inglot Turquoise Pigment Look
Posted on November 28, 2011 | 1 CommentThis makeup look features one of the Inglot AMC Pure Pigment Eye Shadows I reviewed back in September. I applied the shimmery turquoise "71" pigment wet to make it more vibrant, but the color also looks nice when used dry. The brown eye shadow is called "Lie Low", and it's one of the permanent MAC Pro Longwear Eye Shadows that were released with MAC Styledriven. I've been reaching for this eye shadow a lot ever since I bought it a few weeks ago! Read more... -
Urban Decay 15 Year Anniversary Palette Look
Posted on November 9, 2011 | 8 CommentsI wasn't sure if I should buy the Urban Decay 15 Year Anniversary Palette at first, since I'm very much content with my Naked Palette. However, I was sold after swatching Junkshow (bright pink with fuchsia shift) and Deep End (bright teal shimmer) -- they're gorgeous (and the other colors are nice too)! Here's my first look using this palette, featuring Junkshow and Deep End as pops of colors to this otherwise neutral look. :) Read more...
