I’ve only just realized that this is going to be a very heavy “makeup posting” week! I’ve got a What’s On My Face post for you today, a makeup tutorial up on YouTube tomorrow and then a “Totally Cute Challenge Week” on Friday. So if you’re looking for inspiration, hopefully you’ll find something you like on here this week. 🙂
Even though I had picked it up aaaages ago at IMATS New York, I hadn’t yet had the opportunity to play with my Mehron Fire palette. The look came out pretty nicely, but they were HUGELY benefited by a white, sticky base.
Eyes
I first applied NYX’s Jumbo Eyeshadow Pencil in Milk as a base, then:
- MAC Cork
- Mehron Inferno
- Mehron Hot Pink
- Mehron Purple Heat
- MAC Blanc Type
I created the wing with MAC‘s Blacktrack fluidline and applied Too Faced Better Than Sex waterproof mascara to my lashes.

- Foundation: Revlon Colorstay liquid  in 200 Nude
- Blush: Hourglass Diffused Heat
- Highlighter: MAC Soft & Gentle

I created the wing with Kat Von D‘s Tattoo Liner in Trooper and tightlined both water lines with Marc Jacobs’ Highliner Gel Crayon in Blacquer. I coacted my lashes with Maybelline Lash Sensational Luscious Full Fan Effect mascara and applied a pair of House of Lashes Au Naturale falsies.

I created the wing with Kat Von D’s Tattoo Liner in Trooper and tightlined my waterlines with Marc Jacobs’ Highliner Gel Crayon in Blacquer. I applied Too Faced Better Than Sex Waterproof mascara to my lashes and popped on a pair of Bombshell lashes by Houses of Lashes.

😀 😀 😀 I was quite pleased with how that one turned out!
They’re all so pretty! But if I had to choose my favourite.. it would have to be the purple one! ..I’m a sucker for glitter haha.
You can NEVER go wrong with glitter! 😀
I love colours and your colourful looks are always very inspirational, I love them! 🙂
I’m so glad you enjoyed them! 🙂
Oh my gawd that first look!!! My jaw dropped, Chelle, it’s beautiful!!!

Thanks Jodi! I kind of wish I’d done up my hair or worn something other than a t-shirt to jazz up the photo… because the eyes are so lovely but everything else screams “I was running out the door to work as fast as possible!” lol
My husband saw me reading this post and he asked me why he never see me wearing these bright colour eyeshadows….I told him because it would look like a bloody mess on me. I don’t have half your talent and am still slowly learning. LOL!

Awwww that sounds like positive encouragement from him! That’s really sweet! I’d say give it a shot and just keep building up. No one starts out of the gate being good at mixing colours!
Awesome look 🙂
Thanks so much Anna!
Ah, that first look- amazing! So glad the NYX Milk pencil made the Mehron palette more do-able. And those Sugarpill shadows look amazing too!
