Sultry Valentine's Look

This is the last look I am posting for Valentine's Day. Again, the inspiration for the colour scheme is blatantly obvious. Perhaps I will post an anti-Valentine's Day look...

I had massive amounts of trouble getting decent lighting for these, and the focus of the camera was non-existent. So forgive the horror of my face that you are about to see... with a pink smokey eye! :)

Blurry :(
 I am experimenting with foundations at the moment... I have come to the conclusion that I hate foundation pretty much altogether, aside from the first hour I wear it. Seeking a solution.

Kissy Face!
 Closeups...
Looking down

HellOO.
Products Used:

Face:
-Makeup Forever HD Foundation # 110
-Lancome Teinte Miracle in Bisque 7
-Makeup Forever Mat Velvet+ Foundation #35 (all 3 mixed together)
-Bobbi Brown Tinted Eye Brightener in Bisque (under eyes) 
-Cover FX Full Cover Cream Foundation in M40 (under eyes)
-Laura Mercier Matte Translucent Shine Control Powder
-Tarte Amazonian Clay Blush in Dollface
-MAC eyeshadow in Charcoal Brown (brows)


Eyes:
-Urban Decay Primer Potion
-MAC Dazzlesphere Crushed Metallic Pigments in Berry Ornament...
  • Rose Light used wet all over the eyelid
  • Spicy Smoke used wet on the outer half of the eyelid
  • Roasted Chestnut in the deep crease of the eye and lower lashline
-Inglot Eyeshadow #48 (dusty rose colour to blend out the brown MAC pigment)
-Revlon Colorstay Black Eyeliner (upper lashline, with the brown colour over it)
-L'Oreal Voluminous Carbon Black Mascara

Lips:
-NOTHING! I FORGOT!

Sidenote: Overall, I'd say this particular blog post is a failure. I could not get decent pictures all by myself, and i didn't even remember to put anything on my lips.
Happy Valentine's Day, Liz. Take your Iron pills.

Anyhow, I posted it because I liked how the makeup turned out.
Ok bye now!

Bold Valentine's Day Look

Anyone who knows me knows I love vibrant makeup... Sometimes I border on Drag! Looks like this one do NOT intimidate me at all. I adore colour! If this freaks you out too much, but a soft gold wash on the eyes like my last Valentine's day look is not enough for you, I will post a moderate-intensity look soon.
This was the look I wore when I went to Sephora that one time before Christmas and accidentally bought a really good brush, which I used today for my foundation!

The inspiration for the colours is obvious...

Whoah!
 I had a little trouble with the lighting in this next photo...

Hmm.
Closeups!

Purple!
 More!
Pink!

Finally I put my Sugarpill to use.

-Lancome Teinte Miracle in Bisque 7

-Cover FX Total Coverage Cream Foundation in M40 (under eyes)
-Laura Mercier Matte Translucent Smooth Focus Pressed Setting Powder Shine Control
-NYX Mosaic Powder in Love
-MAC Eyeshadow in Charcoal Brown

Eyes:
-Urban Decay Primer Potion
-Inglot Eyeshadow #66 (blended in crease, lower lashline)
-Makeup Forever Eyeshadow #92 (vibrant purple to crease cut-crease, lower lashline)

Simple Valentine's Day Look

Hello viewer! (Singular)
Valentine's day is in a couple of weeks and I figured it would be a good idea to upload a couple different looks here.
This one is just a soft, daytime face that is easy to do and does not take much to do well.

My face
Why not add a cute bow for the occasion?

Some closeups of eyes and lips...

My eyes

Where my nose would be

My mouth

Products Used:

Face:
-Lancรดme Teinte Idole in Bisque 7.
-Cover FX Total Coverage Cream Foundation in M40 (under eyes)
-Laura Mercier Translucent Powder, just under eyes and t-zone, the rest of the skin should be glowy and fresh
-Laura Mercier Radiant Creme Colour in Polished (pink blended on my cheeks, pearl colour blended on top of my cheekbones for a highlight)

Eyes:
-Urban Decay Primer Potion
-Inglot eyeshadow #30 (white-gold on the browbone and inner corners), and #07 (shimmery gold, applied as a wash all over the eyelids and blended into the crease)

Lips:
-Maybelline Color Sensational Lipstick in #160 Fifth Ave. Fuchsia blended over lip balm with my finger to make it look like a stain...great trick for kissing!
