EOTD Blue

FOTD using Younique Pigments in Empowered, Dignified, Innocent,and Beautiful as well as NYX Sunset and Urban Decay Naked 2 Blackout

9:58 AM

\

This morning's FOTD/EOTD features more Younique products...this time, their pigments.  I wanted to play around with some greens and blues, so I picked Dignified and Empowered out of my samples, as well as a matte rust brown called Beautiful.  Empowered is a very pale sea foam green with golden duochrome.  Dignified is a rich turquoise, with sparks of green, blue and gold.  I mixed these colors with NYX Sunset, a rich orange to burnt orange frost and the Blackout shade from the Urban Decay Naked 2 pallet.  

The Younique pigments are very rich and, I know...shocker...PIGMENTED!  They are very smooth, creamy, and a little goes a long way.  I used the Dignified as a liner on the bottom by applying it wet, and it went on extremely smoothly and did not fall into the lines along my undereye.  The mattes applied effortlessly, without any chalkiness or grabbing and pulling on the lid.  I have been extremely impressed with how well the shadows blend together, to create that seamless transition between colors.  

On top of how workable these pigments are, let me tell you a few more things about them:

-  They are 100% Natural
-  They are chemical free
-  Mineral based
-  They are free of talc oils, preservatives, perfumes, synthetic dyes and parabens
-  No creasing, smudging or smearing!

At $10 a pop, these are going to last you a very long time, and are very versatile.  I can't wait to create some more looks and share them with you!

FOTD Using Bare Escentuals "The Star Treatment" Pallet

1:44 PM

 
My new favorite pallet - Bare Escentuals "The Star Treatment".  Not only are the colors mix and matchable, but they are gorgeous shades, extremely pigmented and creamy, and last all day without a single crease.
 

I used three of the four colors above.  The Black, gold and copper.  Actually, the copper looks rather muted in this picture, but as you can see below, it is quite vibrant on.

Laura Geller Blush 'n Brighten Grapefruit - blush

FOTD Golds

FOTD: Wet 'n Wild Golden Goddess Pallet

10:30 AM

 
Since I've been neglecting the blog of late, I wanted to post a quick FOTD from last week using last year's holiday limited edition Wet 'n Wild Pallet in Golden Goddess.  I tend to go to this pallet a lot when I am looking for orangy bronzes, and I don't think I've posted anything using it, so here you go!
 
 
The outer corner/crease is a combination of the bottom left and middle right colors.  I took the middle right and blended that with the bottom left in the middle of my lid.  I then took the upper left shade and used that on the inner corners and up in the highlight.  A simple look with a lot of color!  Enjoy!! :)

Happy Halloween to everyone!  I hope your evening is full of treats, and possible a few tricks! 
 
Below, I wanted to do something for Halloween, but wasn't feeling super-creative this morning, so orange and black it is.  I used Fyrinnae and MAC.

Laura Geller Balance 'n Brighten Fair
Milani Baked Blush in Coralista
 
Eyes:

Fyrinnae Arcane Magic Pyromontic Erotica - inner corner and blended into lower lashline
Unknown Wet 'n Wild as highlight

Here's a closeup of the eye.  I like the color combination a lot - the Fyrinnae shadows, of course, are gorgeous.
 
What did you do for Halloween?

FOTD: Fyrinnae's Red Panda, Arcane Magic Pyromontic Erotica, and STFU

11:58 AM


It's been a long time since I've posted a look I've really enjoyed creating and wearing.  Not only have I just not had the time over the past several months to really spend playing around with my makeup, but I just haven't really been motivated to.  Well, thanks to my son, I am.  He had his toy dump truck full of my Fyrinnae eyeshadows, which he had decided to "excavate" from my makeup drawers, so I took a look and grabbed these three to play with this morning: STFU, Red Panda and Arcane Magic Pyromontic Erotica. 


The first picture is probably the best of the entire look.  It's take in natural light, no flash, and you really see the transitions in colors.  The purple eyeliner also really stands out in the picture above, where it's difficult to differentiate in the pictures below.  Regardless, this look reminds me of a beautiful summer sunset, and I'm glad I finally got back to being inspired with my makeup!  I almost forgot how much I enjoy creating these looks.

For the FOTD, here is what I did/used:

Face:
Laura Geller Champagne Spackle - primer
Laura Geller "Real Deal" Concealer - Light
Laura Geller Balance 'n Brighten Foundation
Mally Bronzer - light - to contour
Mally Poreless Airbrush Blush - Afterglow and Purelight

Eyes:
Fyrinnae Pixie Epoxy - all over lid
Fyrinnae Arcane Magic Pyromontic Erotica - inner corner, and blended ontop of crease
Fyrinnae Red Panda - middle of lid
Fyrinnae STFU - outer crease, blended into the Arcane magic in the middle of crease
NYX candy Glitter Eyeliner - Lavender - ontop of Essence Berlin Rocks

Lips:
Revlon Lip Butter - Candy Apple



Thanks for looking!
