FOTD: Urban Decay Vice 3 (Downfall, Heroine, Bobby Dazzle) and Urban Decay Vice LTD Disco

3:57 PM





I have absolutely fallen in love with my two Urban Decal pallets from Christmas.  Dragon might be the best green I've worked with in a long time (used it here), but I am also loving the matte shadows in both of these sets.  I don't typically go for mattes, but I am learning how to use them to blend into creases and create some different combinations with them, although it has been a struggle because most brands matte shadows are so chalky and difficult to work with.  Not so much with UD!

I have been eyeing Heroine in the Vice3 pallet, but typically don't wear blues.  I decided to mix it with Disco and a whole lot of glitter to have some fun!

Here is the look, below:

Inspiration: Great Gatsby / Flapper Inspired Hair and Makeup Using

9:00 AM


Every year my company has two Holiday sales meetings back to back - the first one is themed for Halloween and the second is themed for Christmas.  Last week was meeting #1, so I decided to go as a flapper.  After watching tutorials on YouTube of pin waves, I spent the morning getting my hair ready so I could do my makeup while it set.  

Most flapper or Roaring 20's type makeup I could find online looked to be smokey eyes and red lips, so I decided to take it up a notch with some glitter.  I used the same eyeshadow as earlier last week (here), but topped it off with Fyrinae's Pixie Epoxy and some glitter I had by Mary Kate and Ashley (remember when Walmart used to carry that?!).  The picture below doesn't do it justice!  This was a lot of fun to wear!

My Thanksgiving EOTD: Younique

11:12 AM

I have been very negligent with the blog recently, simply due to life in general, and my new obsession with Instagram (find me over there at @shakeupyourmakeup and @shakeupyourmakeupscloset).  With that said, I missed working on my daily posts, so I am going to work very hard to get back up and running over the weekend, so I can get back to more of what I love  - makeup!

Quickly, here is a snapshot of my eyeshadow from earlier this week - lots of gold for Thanksgiving.  I went very smokey here, just to make it a little more elegant.

For the look, I started with Urban Decay Primer Potion.  Above the crease, I am using Buck, from the UD Naked 2 pallet, which is lightly applied.  Just below, in the crease, is Creep from the same pallet.  On the lid, I first applied Fyrinnae Pixie Epoxy, and then used Younique's pigment in Gorgeous (a very rich 24K gold shade).  I applied Creep to the outer corner, blending it into the lower lashline.  The light gold shade in the lower lashline is Younique's pigment in Innocent.  Top this off with a highlight in MAC's Vanilla pigment, and a random black gel eyeliner and I was finished.

My lashes are Younique's 3D Moodstruck Fiber Lash mascara, which is unbelievable.



I hope you all had a fabulous Thanksgiving, and are enjoying some great Black Friday sales, as well as some respite from all of the food and family :)  More posts to come!

FOTD: Wet 'n Wild Limited Edition 8-Pan Palette in "Walk the Red Carpet" & Younique Moodstruck 3D Fiber Lashes Mascara

9:00 AM

 


Today's look is using a Wet 'n Wild pallet that I forgot I had - untouched and sparkling up at me in my makeup drawer this morning....the Limited Edition 8-Pan in "Walk the Red Carpet".  This gorgeous pan is packed full of golden neutrals, some full of sparkle and some completely matte.  A beautiful set of colors, I can't believe I haven't opened it up until now!  Topped off the gold with my Younique Moodstruck 3D Fiber Lash Mascara and my Revlon Color Burst Matte Balm in Standout, and I was ready to go!  


Closeup of the eyes below - I just love the gold sparkle in the set!

FOTD:Younique Pigments in Beautiful, Irresistable, Daring, and Angelic & Younique Moodstruck 3D Fiber Lashes Mascara

9:00 AM


As I have been recently obsessed with the Younique line, I wanted to play around with their matte pigments, as well as the metallics that I tend to lean towards.  I used all pigments on top of Urban Decay Primer Potion in Sin, so there is a slight shimmer even to the mattes as a result.

To create the look I used the following:

UDPP in Sin all over lid
Younique Pigment in Beautiful - upper crease
Younique Pigment in Irresistable - deep in crease
Younique Pigment in Daring - outer corner, deep in crease / lower lashline
Younique Pigment in Confident - inner corner to middle of lid
Younique Pigment in Angelic - ontop of Confident on inner corner / highlight / lower lashline
Younique Moodstruck 3D Fiber Lashes Mascara

I was pleasantly surprised as to how well the pigments worked on top of a "standard" primer.  I tend to lean towards those that are more sticky in consistency (i.e. Fyrinnae Pixie Epoxy) when I am working with loose pigments, but this worked really well.

What is your favorite pigment from the line?

Sunset EOTD Using Younique Moodstruck Pigments in Heartbroken, Gorgeous and Divine

12:37 PM


Another look featuring the Younique Moodstruck pigments.  Talk about color, I absolutely love "Gorgeous", the bright orange color in the crease and along the lower lashline.  This color certainly adds a ton of color and really enhanced the green of my eyes.  I blended the "Gorgeous" into "Heartbroken", which then blended into "Divine", a rich coppery, almost black brown shade.  Line the lids and add the Moodstruck 3D Fiber mascara and I was set!  

I'm ready for fall...can you tell?

EOTD with Fyrinnae's Velvet Vampire, Urban Decay Black Out & Naked, Younique Sassy Pigment

12:39 PM


As I have been playing around with the Younique pigments, I am finding how beautiful they are.  Today's looked features "Sassy", a rich, slightly pink, berry color.  I combined this with Fyrinnae's Velvet Vampire, which has more orange/red undertones, and I absolutely love it.  Details for the look below.  Enjoy!


For the look, here is what I used:

Urban Decay Primer Potion "Greed" - all over lids
Urban Decay Naked - blended into crease and up towards brow bone
Urban Decay Black Out - blended deep into crease/into Naked as well as in outer "V"
Fyrinnae Pixie Epoxy - just on lid and lower lashline
Fyrinnae Velvet Vampire - blended into Black Out and in middle of lid
Younique Pigment in Sassy - blended into Velvet Vampire all the way to inner corner, lower lashline
Younique 3D Moodstruck Lashes

Speaking of lashes - look at what these do for mine!  And, this is WITHOUT mascara!  I am in love.
