Summer Shimmer, Eye Shadow look using ELF 32 color Palette

   

 Golden Summer Shimmery eyes

I wanted to try out the ELF 32 color palette for a daily look so this is what I came up with.

I applied Urban Decay Primer Potion under my eyeshadow to prevent creasing, and applied pressed powder on top of that to set it.

 Highlight (Under brow color)

Using the Sigma E60 brush I applied the shadow under my eyebrow

 Copper color on the lid

 Using the Sigma E55 I applied the copper color all over the lid

a

Gold inner corner

Using the Sigma E30 brush I applied the gold in the inner corner of the eye and underneath the bottom lash line (sorry for the bad pic)

 Dark brown to outer corner (V) of eyelid

 Using the Designer Tools 700P-12 brush I took the dark brown and blended the dark brown into the V corner of the outer lid...make sure to blend well.

 Using crown's eyebrow brush, I brushed them in the direction I wanted

 Brown eyeshadow to fill in eyebrows

 Using an angled stiff brush I lightly applied the shadow to fill in the brows

 Dark brown shadow as eyeliner (MAC Suspicious)

 Using the Sigma E65 brush push the shadow along the top lash line.

Curl lashes for 10 seconds each eye

I ALWAYS apply mascara primer (MAC Prep & Prime)

I applied 2 coats of black mascara (KIKO Curling Mascara) Also apply 1 coat along bottom lashes.

Finished Look

I wore this look for a good 8hrs or so...it didn't crease, but the problems I found with the ELF shadows is that when you apply them there is some fallout (when the shadow falls onto your face) and that there is too much glitter in the shimmer shadows. It won't prevent me from using them again of course, but I will put some loose powder under my eyes next time to prevent the fallout from staying on my face.

Hope you enjoyed this, try it on yourself...its easy peezy lemon squeezy :)

Tuesday's look of the Day!

Each day for the past couple weeks I've been putting together the "Look of the Day" with different eyeshadow looks. Since I've created this blog I figured it was time to post those looks here along with more pics. That way I can go into detail about what makeup I used and which brushes and so on.

So here it goes.....

Blank slate....no makeup, just moisturizer on.

First I started with just primer, foundation, concealer, and mineral powder
I used Too Face Primed & Poreless Primer, Smashbox Beauty Balm Foundation, Laura Gellar Eye/Lip Spackle, and Extra Virgin Mineral Powder (FUNNY NAME I KNOW!)

Next I put on eyeshadow primer, Cheek Contour, Blush and Set it with Mineral Powder.
I used Urban Decay Primer Potion, Blushbaby MAC Blush, Elf Blush/Bronzing Powder Duo (I don't know the color) and the Extra Virgin Mineral Powder.







Face is done...now on to the eyes!!!


Before I do my eyeshadow I put loose powder under my lower lashes to catch the fallout of dark colors. So you might see that in the next couple pictures.

I started off using a shimmery green frost eyeshadow from Morphe #37. I put that all over the lid of my eye.

Next I took Obsessive Compulsive Cosmetics Pigment in Black and blended it into the out V corner of the lid....bringing it toward the nose, but not all the way.

Then I add the highlight color under the brow. I used a light shimmery beige color from my Too Faced Glamour to Go palette.

I then apply MAC Blacktrack gel eyeliner to the top lashline and wing it out to almost the end of the black color.

I also brush and fill in my eyebrows. I used a dark brown from the Too Face Glamour to Go palette.

I curl my eyelashes and apply MAC Prep & Prime mascara, then coat the lashes with Too Faced LashGasm over the primer. I use 2-3 coats.

And the look is done...I didn't take any face pictures with my eyes open sorry :-\
