FOTD: Batman

I created this look for the Makeup Geek June competition.

Also, as you may notice from the quality of these photos my camera is working again! Yay for no more shitty camera phone uploads!

The products I used for the eyes are pretty simple: I used Urban Decay Primer Potion and then NYX Jumbo eye pencil in Milk as a stickier base. Then I added Sugarpill Buttercupcake and Tako and Lucifer by Kat Von D, but you can use any matte bright yellow, black and white. I then went through and hashed out the lines with a black pencil liner and then filled in it with a pen-style liquid liner (I think I used the Physician's Formula with lash serum one). Mascara is by Benefit, I think it's They're Real, but not sure.

 I suppose you could use this for a Halloween look but it seems a little tame to me for that. Although I am pretty much known for going totally crazy on Halloween.

Enjoy!

FOTD: Purple and Green Leopard Print with SugarPill

Oh my god oh my god I love this look. It was my first experiment with colored eyebrows and I might be in love. I have an obsession with leopard print and had been meaning to do a purple and green leopard print for forever, but I actually did it waaaay different than I had planned and I think it came out really well. Next time I’m going to wear a nude lipstick with it!

 I'm a little bummed that I forgot to photograph it in the morning. So this is after 8 hours of wear, Which means certain things happened that I'm not happy about: The black liner on the water line wore off, my brows look a little disheveled, and the nice sparkly inner corner that I had went away too. But it was still awesome.

FOTD: Katie Comes Over and Leaves with Dewey Skin and Golden-Coppery Eyes

 One of my co-workers recently got married, one of my friends at work wanted me to do her makeup for the wedding. She came over and I had so much fun doing her makeup. Nobody ever lets me play with them anymore. :(

Normally Katie doesn’t wear much makeup so I wanted to keep things pretty simple so it wasn’t overwhelming for her. Also, since it’s a summer wedding I focused mainly on the skin so that she would look dewy and have a lot of golden peachy tones. In order to get that dewy look I applied SIRCUIT Cosmeceuticals Molecular Mist and Olay moisturizer before the primer and foundation went on. She doesn’t do lipstick so I let her borrow a peach lipgloss from ELF (not pictured).

Because she wanted mostly of natural looking makeup I had to do some improvising, since for some reason I don’t have a brown pencil right now (WTF?). So I put down a layer of brown liquid liner and then covered it with NYX jumbo eye pencil in Gold, the greasiness helped smudge it out. Unorthodox maybe, but it got the job done. I told her that I was going to do a little pop of color underneath to bring out her eyes a little better. So I used one of my all time favorite MAC colors, Tilt. It's a super pretty blue with green duo chrome. Overall I think the finished look turned out really well.

Brown Prestige Liquid Eyeliner
NYX Jumbo Eyeliner Pencil in Gold

I don't know what kind of mascara she used, it was her own and I didn't apply it....

Laura Geller Blush n’ Brighten in HoneyDipped

NYX Sale!

Hautelook is having a sale on NYX products including their jumbo eyeliner pencils, which if you haven't tried using them as an eyeshadow base, you definitely should. The Spider Web look I did just before Halloween used two of them. Also there are these super cute lipglosses that look like little pieces of fruit and little cupcakes! Seriously, they are so cute. Go get them.

Go Here: My Personal Invite

Makeup last Friday.

I'm starting to get better about this. Really I am. Last Friday I did a Purple and Lime Green look, which is one of my favorite color combinations. I want to do this look again, but next time I think I'm going to draw leopard print over the purple section. Anywho, here it is!

I am really happy with the way the eyes turned out. I only have 2 blushes so I can't really say anything about that.

Eyes:

For the lid:

UD Primer Potion

NYX Jumbo eyeliner in milk, blended out

Coastal Scents 88 Palette: Column 3 row 3 and 6 mixed together

For the crease:

I used an angled brush to outline a cut crease with SugarPill Poison Plum, then a pencil brush to drag it up and out to create the shape that I wanted.

For the browbone: I used SugarPill's Tako with a big fluffy brush to blend out Poison Plum and to highlight my brow bone

For the Tear Duct:

I used NYX Jumbo Eyeliner in milk, blended out with my finger, then I covered that using a pencil brush in ELF Mineral Eyeshadow in Angelic. I dragged it up into the inner crease, and along the edges of Poison Plum.

Lashes:

Those are my real lashes folks!

Skin:

Foundation: Face and Body Foundation from MAC

Powder: Revlon Photoready in Translucent

Blush: Well Dressed from MAC

Lips:

Again I didn't put anything on my lips for pictures. I wore a clear gloss because the eyes are so crazy.

I am making this face because my bangs are so long and I obviously need a goddamn haircut.

Unfortunately I can't cut my hair until after Halloween, Winona has long bangs in Edward Scissorhands, I'll curl them but they still need to be long.

God I am so excited for Halloween, maybe I'm making that face because I want it to be Halloween already. Today I am wearing this makeup by xsparkage. The only difference is that I used both a matte black and a sparkly black in Black Tied from MAC. It has silver sparkles and I love it. Lips in Lolita by Kat Von D.

Maybe I'll put pictures up... Dunno.

Finally Some Makeup Photos.

This look is a modification of an older xsparkage post called ElectroPop. I've used colors from the Burning Heart Palette from Sugarpill as well as some other products. All brushes that were used are from Crown Brushes.

Eyes:

Urban Decay Primer Potion on the lid and on the lower lash line

Lid-Love+ (Bright red)

Crease-Buttercupcake (bright yellow)

I used Flamepoint (true orange) to help blend out the two colors.

Tear Duct - I put a dash of the nyx jumbo eyeliner pencil in milk, which I then covered with elf's loose mineral eyeshadow in Elegant.

Lower Lash Line/Wings- Posion Plum (I used an angled brush to create the two wings), on the lower lash line there was a sort of triangle created by the wing and the lash line itself I filled this with Parfait Amor from MAC.

Between the Wings- Jumbo eyeliner pencil in milk, covered with Sugarpill's Tako

I did a line of black liner on the lid to make my false eyelashes look more seamless I used very black liquid liner from Almay.

Mascara is Lashblastfusion by Covergirl

Falsies are Posh from NYX

On the skin:

Foundation - MAC face and body foundation N1-C48

Powder - Revlon Photoready 001 Translucent

Blush - Well Dressed by MAC

I obviously have nothing on my lips in either of these photos, but if I had I would have downplayed them cause the shadow is so bright. I think later I put on a very sheer pink gloss. One of the Covergirl fruity ones.

Please ignore my hair in both of these photos, hadn't styled it yet.
