Here's a quick and dirty look using products from MAC's Love Lace Collection! I managed to squeeze in all four of the eyeshadows that came out. Just an FYI, Blanc Type looks very, very subtle in real life -- it's not a very camera-friendly color (tends to look a lil' on the chalky...
Happy Friday, everyone! :) This is a look using the two new, limited edition products from Guerlain's Cherry Blossom Collection: Jeu d'Ombrelles Eyeshadow Quad and Cherry Blossom Blush.
Surprisingly, the eyeshadow quad and blush don't go together...
This is almost like a two-for-one kind of look, because I took photos of two [drastically] different lip combinations -- the first is a deeper plummy red and the second more of a bronzy nude. I wanted to try out some of the products I've reviewed lately, so that's where I tried to draw inspiration...
So here's a tip about using all matte eyeshadows (or matte products in general): make sure you're exfoliated and well-moisturized. My eyelids were a touch dry on the inner lid, and the mattes really enhanced that dryness. The same thing is true if you have drier skin and opt for a matte finish...
Here's a wintry wonderland kind of look! There's not much to it, and I tried to stick with mostly permanent eyeshadow shades as well. I felt like I hadn't done a blue-ish look in awhile, so I figured I should knock one out!
Happy Wednesday!

I did this look for fun before I took a shower on Sunday, and in my hurry, I forgot to take close-ups of the eyes/lips, so there's just a couple of full-face photos, but hopefully you get the idea :)
I wanted to use Illamasqua's Static pure pigment, since it sure looks pretty, but I was so not feeling...
Hey, Ma! I did a look! So it's been a couple of weeks since the Lady Gaga inspired look which totally wreaked havoc on my eyes, but my eyes seem to be recovered now. (They were swollen for a few days, and then they proceeded to just be itchy/red and consequently dry and flaky afterward. You know,...
Makeup artist, Karrie, shares this lovely multi-colored look, inspired by MAC's Jingle Jangle face chart, with us today. You may recognize Karrie from her take on MAC's Unzipped Look for Halloween! You can see more of her work at her beauty blog.
I was watching Lady Gaga's Bad Romance Music Video yesterday, and I felt a little inspired by the bold makeup she's wearing around the four minute mark. At first, I thought she was wearing this look while dancing a bit, but I think the looks are different--the one she wears while dancing (also around...
No matter what I try or how many times I try it, mineralize eyeshadows and I just don't get along. They frustrate me, and using one means I'm adding (wasting) another 15-20 minutes to my makeup routine that really feels unnecessary. I guess it is just not meant to be! I just find that they're...
