What’s On My Face – Volume 45

Makeup, Tutorials, , , , , , , , , , , , , , , , ,

As I was putting together this roundup of looks, I started to realize just how much I’ve been using my Makeup Geek shadows lately. I mean, I use them a lot on a regular basis, but three out of the five looks are solely Makeup Geek in here!

Viseart Editorial Brights makeup look

I did this for a YouTube video tutorial but had to repost it here because I know not everyone has the time for videos (I’ll continue to repost my video tutorial looks on the blog as time goes on).

Viseart Editorial Brights makeup look

Eyes
(using the Viseart 08 Editorial Brights palette) I first covered my lid with NYX‘s Jumbo Eyeshadow Pencil in Milk and then:

  1. MAC‘s Cork in the crease.
  2. The yellow shade from the palette on the inner third of the lid.
  3. The orange on the middle of the lid.
  4. The red on the outer half of the lid.
  5. The lime green on the inner corner of the lid.
  6. (also listed as 5) MAC‘s Blanc Type to highlighter the brow bone.

I applied the light blue to the middle of my lower lash line and the purple to the outer section of the lower lash line. I created the wing with Kat Von D‘s Tattoo Liner in Trooper and tightlined my water lines with Marc Jacobs‘  Highliner Gel Crayon in Blacquer. I coated my lashes with Make Up For Ever Smoky Stretch mascara and applied House of Lashes Bombshell falsies.

KAt Von D Mi Vida Loca Remix look

Although I love the Kat Von D Mi Vida Loca Remix palette, I’ve not been using it because I was trying to work through a bunch of other palettes. I said enough was enough, and went back to it for it this look!

KAt Von D Mi Vida Loca Remix look

Eyes
(Using the Kat Von D Mi Vida Loca Remix palette) I first applied NYX‘s Jumbo Eyeshadow Pencil in Milk to my lid, then:

  3. Dark Wave on the outer corner.
  4. (numbers are screwed up, sorry) Vinyl on the inner corner (to the right of 1).
  5. Ignore this one… I haven’t a clue if I put anything on my brow bone.

Echo is lining the outer half of my lower lash line. I coated my lashes with Make Up For Ever‘s Smoky Stretch mascara.

Hit Pan #4

Hit Pan, Makeup, Miscellaneous, ,

201508_hitpan_number4

I don’t know about you guys, but it’s not empties posts that get me excited… it’s HIT PAN posts that do it for me! Empties always seem to be of the boring stuff – the stuff we use every single day and always end up repurchasing. Which I suppose is a good indicator of what we finish and actually love… but my god, there’s just never enough makeup in there to make it interesting!

So here’s a recent Hit Pan post of the items (since February) that I’ve managed to dig down deep into.

Joe Fresh Sand Bronzer
Joe Fresh Sand Bronzer

This is about one of the only products from Joe Fresh that I actually ended up liking (the cream blush made my cheeks itch, the rose balm was DISGUSTING and the lip tint tasted like acid). And clearly I REALLY liked it. This Sand Bronzer is matte and a light bronze shade, which worked out really for me during the colder months when my skin was paler. I’m hoping to finish this one up completely this winter as I have a LOT of bronzers and they need some love too!

Nivea Lip Butter in Vanilla & Macadamia
Nivea Lip Butter in Vanilla & Macadamia

Oh Nivea lip butters, you never do me wrong. I had previously gone through a whole Caramel Kiss one, and now I’m on to my Vanilla & Macadamia flavoured one. Unfortunately, these lip butters do produce a white cast on the lips, so I opt to apply them before bed and they last through the night. It helps keep my lips in great condition because I’m more inclined towards matte lipsticks that definitely dry out my lips.

MAC - Landscape Green pigment
MAC – Landscape Green pigment

And finally, I hit pan on my pressed MAC pigment in Landscape Green. I had mostly used this for my Gamora Halloween makeup look, but when I dipped into it recently for a makeup look I ended up hitting pan immediately. As you can see, it’s a gorgeous matte green shade, although I believe it’s a pro product.

Are you hitting pan on anything recently? Let me know!

What’s On My Face – Volume 39

Makeup, Tutorials, , , , , , , , , , , , , , , , , ,

Another makeup roundup! I had a backlog of looks I hadn’t posted yet, some even from early May. I’m surprised I had such a backlog (and there’s still about 7 more looks on my harddrive) because it feels like I haven’t been that inspired lately (aside from Clarins’ Aquatic Treasures collection, holy smokes) but it seems my memory was just rather faulty.

201507_womf39_look5-1

And we’re starting off with a BANG! This is my absolute favourite of the whole lot. Neon? Orange? Chartreuse? YES PLEASE! I wore this out briefly to a brunch during Pride and loved every second of it.

201507_womf39_look5-2

Eyes
(using the Makeup Revolution Redemption Acid Brights palette – total knockoff for theSleek Acid palette) I first applied a white base to my lid (NYX Jumbo Pencil in Milk), then:

  1. Yellow on the inner half of the lid.
  2. Orange on the outer half of the lid.
  3. Purple shade on the outer corner and on the lower lash line.
  4. Pinky-purple through the crease.
  5. Wet n Wild Brule on the brow bone.

I used MAC‘s Blacktrack fluidline to create the wing and applied Make Up For Ever‘sSmoky Stretch mascara to my lashes.

Rest of the Face

  • Highlighter: Too Faced Candlelight

201507_womf39_look4-1

I have a bucket full of makeup that is stuff I have yet to use. Most of it is stuff from swaps, or samples from Sephora (including their 100 point perks), so every now and then I make an effort to go into it and pull out items that I REALLY should at least try before I put away into the depths of my makeup collection. The main star of this look is a L’Oreal Infallible eyeshadow I picked up at a CBB swap.

201507_womf39_look4-2

Eyes

  1. L’Oreal Infallible shadow in Endless Sea all over the lid.
  2. MAC Sketch on the outer corner and through the crease.

201507_womf39_look3-1

I had always thought this lip colour (Too Faced‘s Bon Bon) was too awkwardly bright for me. That’s not to say that I don’t love bright lip colours, but this seemed to look so weird on my skin when I didn’t have a bit of a tan. I love it so much more now that I’ve got a bit of colour on my skin! Anyway, the basis for this look was that I really wanted to wear MAC‘sPetal Power blush and tried to figure out a look that would work with it. Quite pleased with the results!

201507_womf39_look3-2

Eyes
(all Makeup Geek)

  1. Peach Smoothie through the crease.
  2. Starry Eyed on the inner half of the lid.

Another makeup looks roundup!

womf_vol33_look1-1

I was playing around with some matte shades… then decided I needed some glitter.

womf_vol33_look1-2

Well WHOOPS. I totally messed up the colour map…

Eyes

  • The Balm Matt Abdul all over the lid.
  • The Balm Matt Johnson in the crease.
  • The Balm Matt Malloy on the brow bone.
  • Illamasqua Static pigment was applied all over the lid directly on top of the lid shade.

I used Kat Von D‘s Tattoo Liner in Trooper to create the wing, then applied Too FacedBetter Than Sex mascara to my lashes.

Rest of the Face

  • Bronzer: Joe Fresh Sand
  • Blush: Cargo Mendocino

womf_vol33_look5-1

This was a straight rip from a recent Jaclyn Hill YouTube tutorial that I just loved. I had almost all the same products (always a blessing when you watch a tutorial) and loved how it looked on her so I decided to replicate it as best I could. This ended up being near identical to the look I wore on Valentine’s Day.

womf_vol33_look5-2

Eyes

  1. Makeup Geek Peach Smoothie and Creme Brulee mixed together at the top of the crease.
  2. Makeup Geek Cocoa Bear heavily through the crease.
  3. Too Faced Dark Chocolate (from the A few of my Favorite Things palette) in the inner and outer third of the eye.
  4. Makeup Geek Houdini on the center of the lid.
  5. Makeup Geek Vanilla Bean on the brow bone.
  6. (not marked) MAC Nylon on the inner tearduct and lightly on the brow.

I used Make Up For Ever‘s Ink Liner to create the wing, then tightlined my upper and lower lash line with Urban Decay‘s Black Velvet liner. Blended along my lower lash line is Cocoa Bear and Dark Chocolate. On my lashes is Make Up For Ever Smoky Stretch mascara.

Rest of the Face

  • Foundation: Bourjois Healthy Mix Serum in shades 51 Light Vanilla and 52 Vanilla mixed together
  • Bronzer & Highlighter: Make Up For Ever Pro Sculpting Duo #1
  • Blush: Hourglass Diffused Heat

womf_vol33_look4-1

I hadn’t touched my Naked Cosmetics pigments much since I picked them up in November, so I decided to just pick a colour at random (the pink) and work with it.

womf_vol33_look4-2

Eyes

  1. Naked Cosmetics Tropical Indulgence pigment stack, peachy pink colour applied wet all over the lid.
  2. Sleek Ink on the outer corner and through the crease.

Too Faced Better Than Sex mascara is on my lashes.

Rest of the Face

  • Bronzer: Joe Fresh Sand
  • Blush: Can’t remember! 🙁
  • Lips: Too Faced Coral Fire

 

womf_vol33_look3-1

This one disappointed me. I applied some black glitter to the lower lash line, but you can’t even really tell – it just looks like I HEAVILY outlined my lower lash line with black eyeliner. Boo.  🙁

womf_vol33_look3-2

Eyes

  1. Sleek Chill all over the lid.
  2. Sleek Bolt on the outer half of the lid and through the crease.
  3. Wet n Wild Brulee on the brow bone.

I used Tarte‘s black gel liner to create the wing. I then lined my lower lash line with MAC‘sPhone Number eye kohl, applied some Too Faced Glitter Glue on top and then patted onLit Cosmetics‘ Back in Black glitter on top. I lined my lower rim with CoverGirl‘s Liquidline Blast in Black Fire and applied Too Faced Better Than Sex mascara to my lashes

Rest of the Face

  • Bronzer: Joe Fresh Sand
  • Blush: MAC Ripe Peach
  • Lips: Too Faced Melted Nude with NYX Butter Gloss in Peaches and Cream on top

womf_vol33_look2-1

This look was created as a guest post on Jodi’s blog; Up The Rollercoaster. The theme was red, white and pink. So I opted for a more neon shade of pink to suit my fancy. Most of the colours used are from my Morphe palette, but since they have no true names, I just used colour names to describe them.

womf_vol33_look2-2

Eyes

First off, I applied an eyeshadow primer, then layered NYX‘s Jumbo Eyeshadow Pencil in Milk all over the lid. Pat that in, then proceed:

  1. Makeup Geek Creme Brulee through the crease.
  2. White on the inner third of the eye, brought heavily around the inner tearduct.
  3. Neon Pink on the middle of the lid.
  4. Black on the outer half of the eye and lightly through the crease to tie it all together.
  5. Pale beige on the brow bone.

I used Kat Von D‘s Tattoo Liner in Trooper to create the wing on the upper lash line, then used MAC‘s Phone Number pencil lightly on the outer corner of the lower lash line. On my lashes is Too Faced‘s Better Than Sex mascara.

Rest of the Face

  • Foundation: Bourjois Healthy Mix Serum in shades 51 Light Vanilla and 52 Vanillamixed together
  • Bronzer: Joe Fresh Sand
  • Blush: Hourglass Ambient Lighting Blush in Diffused Heat
  • Highlighter: Hard Candy Tiki
  • Lips: Too Faced Melted Ruby (this was applied lightly, rubbed onto the lips with my finger and then blotted off with a tissue – I wanted it to be more of a stain than a flat out lipstick)
