I found the cord to my camera, so have finally uploaded the pictures I took a while ago swatching the Paper Me Pretty Cosmetic Sheets I bought a few weeks ago at Walmart. I only grabbed a few colors, so you can see them below.
Warmth is a pretty lavender/warm blush.
Radiance is a bright pink with warm undertones
The bronzer Goddess is a great color with tons of shimmer
Gold Sparkle is definitely sparkly! I beautiful color to tone down any blushes with a little warmth.
I used the entire sheet on each swatch, so you can see how intense the colors are.
...and thus havne't posted any of the pictures I've taken this past week!! I'm such a space - I am going to dig around for it tonight, so hopefully I'll be able to get some more posts up tomorrow.
Sorry for the lack of posting!
Please disregard the fact that I desperately need to get my eyebrows done! :) I just noticed how terrible they look when I was editing the pictures - ha!
I have been in a smokey EOTD mood recently, so I thought I would share the turquoise and gold look I did this past weekend. I used:
Taylor Made Minerals in Centaur in my inner corner
Taylor Made Minerals in Fiji Beach on my outer lid
Bourjois Ombre a Paupieres in Noir Emeraude 07 in outer corner and blended into crease
Jesse's Girl Eye Dust in Reflects Gold as high light
Rimmel GlamEyes in Extreme Black mascara
Question: How do you actually get them on your face right without a brush?
Answer: Now that I finally was able to upload and adjust some of my pictures, I can show you all how I used these sheets!
First, I applied my primer, concealer and foundation as usual. Here I am wearing Laura Geller's Perfect Match, which was a kit which I purchased off of QVC. My foundation and concealer are "medium". Once my foundation has set, I took a sheet of the Mary Kate and Ashley Paper Me Pretty Blush in "Radiance".
"Radiance" is a bright pink, with cool tones to it. There are a handful of other blush colors (probably 5), so there are some warmer shades as well.
Once my foundation had set, I held the sheet by the back, which didn't have very much blush on it, if any at all. I applied the blush like you would any other, starting with the apples of your cheek and swiping it backwards. Think of the sheet of paper as your brush, and just swirl and swipe back.
At this point, the color should be applied to your cheeks, although it will most likely have some harsh lines which need to be blended (see below).
I chose one of my lighter and fluffier blush brushes - this one is my Laura Geller double ended blush/eyeshadow brush. Very lightly, I blended the edges. You don't want to be too rough with this, or else your brush will pick up the blush and you will lose your color.
At this point, I finished my makeup, eyeshadow and mascara and had this look! The blush lasted all day - it has fantastic staying power, and for the price you can pick and choose different colors to play with. What's even better, they don't have any fall out when you apply!
As you probably noticed from the picture of my original purchase, I also bought a bronzer, another shade of blush, and one of their sparkle sheets. I will swatch those out for you to see as well! They are really neat!
