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

Eyeshadow under 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.

 After 1 coat of mascara

Both Eyes

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 :)

Inspired by Art...Thanks KY

The other day my friend Ky mentioned me in a twitter post saying that she was designing makeup looks that she knew that I would like them...and she was right!!! So I asked her to design one for me...and she did! So I recreated it! 

                     Here is the drawing Ky did                             My version

Primed my eye, applied loose powder to catch dark shadows

Took a light grey color from Inglot and applied it to the inner corner of my eye to the middle.

Applied Fuschia/Hot Pink (Inglot and Sugar Pill Colors) in the middle to outer corner of the lid.

Applied Dark Brown from Too Faced to the outer V corner and blended towards the inner corner of my eye.

Added the under eyebrow highlight color from Too Faced

Filled in my eyebrows with the same Dark Brown used in the V corner and applied Blacktrack gel liner from MAC.

Curled lashes, applied MAC prep & prime mascara, then used Too Faced LashGasm mascara on top of primer

And the Look is done! For some reason the flash wasn't picking up as much as I wanted to but decided to show all my pores haha!

Hope you enjoyed and thanks to KY for the inspiration! <3

Neon Lights and Love,

Happy 4th of July...Red, White, & Blue Makeup!

HAPPY 4th OF JULY AMERICA!!!

Here are some awesome fireworks photos before the makeup look! :D

So I figured since it was the 4th of July and I'm patriotic, I'd do a Red, White, and Blue eyeshadow look, ENJOY!

I already applied foundation, concealer, blush, contour, primer and powder....so on to the eyes.

First I applied NYX Jumbo pencil in Milk on my lower lid and blended it in.

 Next I applied Afterparty (blue eyeshadow) from Sugarpill to the lid, but not close to the eye or the outside corner

Both eyes...don't mind the loose powder under my eyes. It catches dark colors and prevents color smudging...and makes my eyes look weird haha!

I then took the NYX Jumbo pencil in Milk and applied it under my brow, then applied Tako (white shadow) from Sugarpill on top.

Open eye view

Next I took MAC's Wait Til Dark, dark blue eyeshadow and applied it on the V outside corner and to the middle of the lid.

I took Love + (red eyeshadow) from Sugarpill and applied it from the inner corner of my eye to where the dark blue color met, and blended well. I also applied many layers of the red to prevent it from looking like purple.

I filled in my eyebrows with the dark brown color from the Too Faced Glamour to Go palette. Touched up the white shadow under the eyebrow as well.

I then applied Inglot's Waterproof eyeliner gel in 77. (Be careful when using this because once its on the skin its not budging, unless to be removed with makeup remover.) I made it thin and then winged it out at the edge. (Don't mind the white dot, it was a piece of glitter that reflected the flash.)

Another look at the eyeliner.

I decided to use fake lashes to give this a "flashy" dazzle. I used NYX eyelash glue in black, and Sugarpill lashes in Dreamy.

I also put white eyeliner on my waterline and applied mascara to set the false lashes in place and on the botom lashes as well.

All done...and under eye powder has been swished away.  =)

  EYES wide open ;)


















Hope you enjoyed this look....any questions or comments, leave them below! I hope you all enjoyed your 4th of July (if you are in the USA.)
