My First Pictorial!

This is my first time doing a pictorial. It's pretty hard for me, because I'm the type to really just make things up on the fly. Whenever I do my eye makeup, if it's not just winged liner, I'm just going along and seeing what happens. This look isn't hard to do at all. So I'll walk you through the pictures and what I used.

First, I primed my eye. For this I used NYX Milk Jumbo Pencil. Next, I mixed some Sugarpill Bulletproof and Poison Plum right above my crease. The I drew a line of Bulletproof and started blending that with Velocity. By the time I added Mochi on my lid and Buttercupcake on the inner corner of my eye, I blended more Bulletproof in my outer V with more Velocity.

 Once everything is more or less placed how you want it, it's really just blending and tweaking until it looks how you want. My highlight is Urban Decay ABC Gum. Then I used MAC Blacktrack to line, along with Makeup Forever Kohl in my waterline. I didn't really glue the lashes on..I was only playing around.

That's more or less what goes on in a colorful look for me these days. I look back to when I first started, and I have greatly improved...even though I'm still not anywhere near where I would like to be when it comes to color. But it's always fun to play!

Until Next Time....

Sugarpill Heart Breaker Palette look #2

This time I used Acidberry, 2am, Velocity and also Buttercupcake.

My foundation was the only base I used under it today.

Get it??

It's raining over here and it's absolutely miserable but I'm still in a pretty good mood despite my socks getting wet through my shoes. I should've worn my rainboots...Guess I had a lapse in judgment as I ran out the door this morning.

On to the eyes:

In other news, I'm absolutely excited! For weeks I've been doing my best to not buy anything and now its paying off! I even skipped on the Sephora Friends&Family! What could make me do such a thing?!

Mm...A light. More specifically, my first studio strobe.

On the plus side, I liked going through what I already have and using things that I barely touch or haven't touched at all. Downside...I do have a list of things I'm possibly curious about but never looked at because I didn't want to buy.

It never ends...lol

Full Face Blues FOTD

For the first time in a while, I did a full face today. I'm sure its been noticed that I am not exactly a foundation wearer. I like the look, I just tend not to do it even if I want to. We're never on the same page...

 Anyhow, blue and purples for the day!

trouble starting...

 

So what did I use?

Face:Graftobian Foundation in Golden Sunset
Cargo bronzer in Dark
LaFemme Blush in Coral Spice

Eyes:
UDPP
NYX Jumbo Pencil in Black Bean
Wet n' Wild eyeshadow in Lagoon is surprising the blue on the lid
Stars Makeup Haven Wine Not? eyeshadow
Stars Makeup Haven Dress Blues eyeshadow
Sugarpill Bulletproof eyeshadow
MAC Femme-Fi eyeshadow as a highlight

LIPS:
Wet n' Wild lipliner in Plumberry
Benefit lipstick in Lady's Choice
NARS Ligloss in Giza

closed

open

I'm actually pleasantly surprised with the Wet n' Wild eyeshadow. It has been a while since I bought one, apparently they've revamped their shadows and now the pigmentation is surprisingly good. I have only recently bought this one shadow though so it's the only one that I can speak for. The base definitely helped, but it did pretty well alone too.

On the other hand, NYX Jumbo Pencils are getting the boot from me. I love them, I really do...but they crease. And I do not love that.
 

Creases are a BIG no-no.

So, I'm on the hunt for a new base. I'm on the hunt for a lot of things it seems...This is important though. Because as you can see from the picture below, when I looked in the mirror and saw the above, I was NOT amused.

Hope everyone is enjoying their weekend!
Later~

Rainy Blues...

Its been pouring down rain in this area lately and now its cold outside again. It is October though, so I guess its time for fall weather to start making an appearance.


Anyway, today I went with something a little more bold than normal.

This is a truer representation of the colors on my eyes..

Lets see...I used:
FACE:
Cargo Bronzer in Dark
LaFemme Blush in Coral Spice
EYES:
UDPP
NYX Jumbo Pencil in Black Bean
Urban Decay Flipside, Twice Bakes (which surprisingly ended up looking purple-y), Half Baked
Sugarpill Bulletproof
Gel Eyeliner and tons of mascara
Lips:
A mix of Urban Decay Lip Junkies in Peroxide and Wallflower

So what next? I'm thinking green, since it's been a while.
