I liked the look I did last night;
Eyes: Painterly paint pot, too faced natural pallete (silk teddy on lid and espresso on crease, and heaven as a highlight) Lined upper lash line with UD 24/7 in Uzi and lower lashline with Stray Dog.
Face: Smashbox HD foundation in F1. Nars Fiji powder over that, and then a very light handed Nars Laguna.
Cheeks: Mac Mighty Aphrodite blush
Lips: In synch pencil with love nectar lustreglass over it
I like a look I did with the tarte jewelery palette. It had the dark grey on the lid and dark purple in the crease. There is a tut that tarte did for it. It came out nice.
MAC Sunny Spot, Mix of Atlantic Blue & Freshwater, Plumage & Contrast. UD 24/7 eye liner in Deviant, Flipside & Zero. Made for a nice “water color” effect.
Oh – face/lips: NARS Sheer Glow Foundation in Siberia. Bobby Brown Creamy Concealer in Ivory. Kryolan Translucent Setting Powder. MAC Peaches Blush. NARS Albatross highlight. MAC Freckletone l/s, Love Nectar gloss. Laura Mercier mascara
Definitely the hot pink with Ben Nye’s Azalea last Thursday. It’s the first time I think I’ve pulled off pink without looking diseased.
I did a really pretty champagne and pink look with UD Sin and Fyrinnae Twinkle Twinkle Little Bat.
A bright eye that I wore to work and got a ton of compliments on-
UD primer potion, NYX pencil in Milk all over as a base, then UD Painkiller (teal) on my lid with UD Kush (green) right in the middle. UD Snatch (peach) as a crease blending color, then UD Flash in the crease. Sugarpill Tako as a highlight.
It wasn’t quite bright enough for me so I put a little of my Lime Crime shadows on top. (Lime Criminal (green), Duchess (turquoise), Empress (purple), Fairy Wings (pinky lavender), Top Hattie (shimmer white)). Bought them a longg time ago on clearance for the record haha no way I’d pay 14 bucks for that now.
Then black liner (Maybelline Eye Studio gel) and white liner on the inner rim.
Lips- Smashbox O-gloss (bright pink).
Face- L’oreal Tru Match in W1 and W4, MAC MSF in Medium Dark to contour, hot pink blush from a VS palette, MAC Shell and Silver Dusk as highlight.
Last night I sported a flawless face using Chanel mat lumiere, freshened up under my eyes with Eclat Lumiere Concealer.
Cheeks I had a tiny bit of NARS torrid blush, with Albatross highlighter on my cheekbones. I used NARS eyeshadow base on my lids, but left if at that. Generous lashings of Diorshow mascara and finished with illamasqua lipstick in flare. Loved it! Was scared to go the orange lips at first, but once I did, I was in love!
Eyes: UDPP, NYX Jumbo Pencil in Milk, Money & Loaded from the UD:NYC palette, Milani Liquif’eye Pencil in Black set with UD Perversion, CoverGirl Lash Blast Volume Waterproof
Cheeks: Hard Candy Fox in a Box in Smooth Talker
Lips: EOS Cucumber/Honeydew/Green (no clue what it’s called, it’s the green one that isn’t mint)
Face: Hard Candy Glamouflage, Garnier Eye Roller (the tinted one), Maybelline Fit Me in 110 (the only foundation I have in my colour that doesn’t break me out.), ELF Complexion Perfection (which I’ve hit pan on.)
I only got dolled up once this week but I loved it!
Face: Revlon Colorstay Foundation for Oily/Combination Skin in Sand Beige (by the way, BEST FOUNDATION EVER!), Rimmell Mattifying Powder in Transparent, MAC Mighty Aphrodite blush.
Eyes: Urban Decay Primer Potion, all 3 green eyeshadows from the Kat Von D Ludwig palette to make a smokey green eye, Tarte Lights, Camera, Lashes mascara in black.
Lips: MAC Marquise D’ mixed with Kat Von D Lovecraft lipstick.
I don’t get in full makeup often so I thought I looked pretty good. So did my husband! ;o)
Having been trying a new tinted moisturizer and really like it, Clinique Sheer tint. Having a problem on which color to purchase, neutral or beige. Both look perfect on my skin. Then I wear Benefit Dandelion on cheeks, Stila Kitten Duo for highlight. Clinique gloss in Black Honey. Easy peasey makeup week.
My favorite look is an experimental look I did tonight, using tester Urban Decay makeup at Ulta.
Face: UD tinted moisturizer in Halo all over; UD 24/7 concealer in DEA on spots; UD cream highlighter in Sin on cheekbones.
Eyes: UD eyeshadow in Free Love all over lids; UD liquid liners in Radium on left top lashline and Minx on right top lashline; UD Supercurl Mascara.
Lips: UD lipstick in Naked.
It turned out quite nicely and I got a couple compliments on it, but next time I’ll have my eyes match!
Face: Chanel Vitalumiere Aqua
Cheeks: MAC Mocha
Eyes: Covergirl Lashblast
Nothin special.. I just wanted to try Chanel’s new foundation cos I got a sample. Although I LOVE the finish, there’s no right match for my skin. The darkest in the “Beige” category is still light, but workable…
Metal cream eyeshadow from a quad of revlons
Shimmery Brown in the crease
Blue liquid liner
Red matte lip
😀 yay
I had my graduation dinner and this is the look I wore.
Face: Smashbox Photo Finish Foundation Primer, MAC Pro Longwear Foundation (NC25), MUFE Full Cover Concealer (10) and MUFE HD Microfinish Powder.
Cheeks: Hourglass Sunset Illume Creme-to-Powder Bronzer Duo (the bronzer to contour and the pink side as blush) and NARS Orgasm.
Eyes: MAC Dipdown Fluidline (for base), MAC Shroom (Highlight), MAC Omega (Crease), MAC Mystery (thick liner), Maybelline Define-A-Brow, and CoverGirl Lash Blast Length mascara with Maybelline One by One on top.
Lips: MUFE Aqua Lipliner (1C) and MAC Pro Longwear Lipcreme (Till Tomorrow) on top.
The look I loved was an adele inspired light bronze brown smoky eye with thick black gel liner and long voluptuous lashes. I paired this with a little flush of colour on the cheek and a pinky red lip.

MAC’s Pinch O’Peach on my cheeks and my new Clarins lipstick. I’d just come back from the gym with a scrubbed face and threw this on really fast…it looked very pretty (my mother-in-law even commented on how pretty I looked, which was nice)
