My attempt at a Sugar Skull makeup

So I bought white makeup this weekend as I posted in my previous blog. I had some free time tonight so I decided to give the Sugar Skull face makeup a go...I used all eyeliners for the black and turquoise.

Here are some pics of the process....It's not perfect...I did it just for fun...but can't wait to do it again...less rushed!

ENJOY!

Drew my black eyes

I had a lot of fun doing this look...but next time I think I will plan it out better. I just went with whatever for this first time. I would also love to try this look on other people...if you are interested...let me know!

Stay Bright and Be Bold!

Gold, Bold, Dramatic Eyes

I like BOLD, BRIGHT, OUT THERE colors...so I decided on Goldilux from Sugarpill Cosmetics, Black from Kiko makeup, Tako from Sugarpill Cosmetics, along with Inglot eyeliner 77,  Fake eyelashes and Too Faced Mascara to blend in my natural lashes with the fake ones. I wore Urban Decay Super-Saturated Lip Glide in Punch Drunk. Here are some step by step pics...hope you enjoy!

Here is the finished look!

I think that Goldilux is one of my favorite colors ever! It is so pigmented and I just love the shimmer! If you are looking for that perfect shade of gold...I highly recommend it! You can find it at www.sugarpill.net!

Stay bright!

Thank heaven for Back 2 MAC!

I've been buying MAC makeup for what it seems to be forever now...well close to 10 years or so. I have strayed from it here and there but they do make amazing products! My favorite thing about MAC...(well one of my favorites) is the Back 2 MAC program. If you're not familiar with Back 2 MAC...its a recycling program. Basically if you bring 6 empty containers (anything plastic, metal, empty shadow palettes, empty lipstick tubes) to a MAC store you can choose from a new eye shadow, lipstick (some excluded) or lipglass lipgloss free. If you bring 6 containers to a MAC counter in any big department store you can get a lipstick only.

They have sooooo many different eyeshadows and lipstick to choose from it could take forever. The lipglass selection is less thrilling but if lipgloss is your thing, you'll love them.

I spent a good 20 minutes looking at lipsticks and eyeshadows. Since I brought in 12 empty containers I could get 2 products. I found an awesome lipstick which they didn't have...and then another lipstick which was similar to the first, and they didn't have it either :( I was sad. Luckily I found a 3rd replacement lipstick. It's called Dare You (Cremesheen). Here is a picture :D

It is a really pretty red/wine color with some sheen.

Here is a picture of it on.        
(Love the Ooooo face haha!)


Now for the other item...I was going to get Carbon (matte black) again since mine broke awhile ago, but went in another direction. For me...finding an eyeshadow that I don't have is hard because I have soooooo many MAC shadows. I chose BRUN (matte brown) for 2 reasons...1) I love matte colors, especially for smokey looks, and 2) I actually didn't have it. Here is a pic of it, although it doesn't do the color justice. It is actually a little bit darker than the color shown. I don't have any pics of me with it on but its just a matter of time until I do haha!

So if you are a user of MAC products...DON'T THROW THE EMPTY PACKAGES AWAY!!! Save them...then take them to the closest MAC store or counter and trade them in for something free! Who doesn't love free?

Here's to the weekend and playing dress up...to recycling and free makeup!

So be bright, be bold...glow like NEON!

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,

Emily =)
