Smoked out Glitzz

I felt like going out to a really good party today... And since the weather today SUCKS and there aren't any parties to go to, I was like: "Hey, Imma make my own party!". Makeup party that is! :-) So, I created this look with a party in mind... Who knows maybe next time I will be wearing this out to the clubs! Until then, enjoy my new makeup look!



So here is a list of the products I used:


Face:

Sephora Primer all over my face
Revlon ColorStay Foundation in Golden Caramel using Sigma Foundation F60 brush
Bobbi Brown Creamy Concealer in Honey
Black Opal concealer in Honey
MAC MFS Natural in Medium Dark
I contoured my face with Sephora Blush Me Twice no. 2 using Sigma Large Angled Contour F40 brush.
I applied Maybelline Dream Mouse Blush in Cloud Wine (nr. 50) for my cheeks using Sigma Duo Fibre F50 brush
As a highlighter on my cheekbones I applied MAC MFS in Soft & Gentle using Sigma Duo Fibre F50 brush.
For my brows I used Anastasia Beverly Hills Eyebrow Pencil in Brunette.

Eyes:










I primed my eyelids using Too Faced Shadow Insurance
For an extra base I applied MAC Painterly Paintpot
MAC  Manila Paper eye shadow (Wonder Woman Quad Valliant) on the inner corners of my eyes using a MAC 239 Flat shading brush.
Urban Decay Gunmetal –shimmery grey- (from the Naked palette) using my MAC 217 Blending brush.
From my Sleek Sunset palette I used a matte black to define the outer V, using MAC 219 Pencil brush.
I used Splash Glitter in Sparkling Seaweed mixed with Sugarpill loose shadow in Tiara; I applied this using a flat shading brush with MUFE’s Eyeseal.
Urban Decay 24/7 Eye pencil in Zero on my waterline and using the same matte black eye shadow I smudged on the lower lashes and also on my upper lash line.
For the inner corner of my eyes (tear duct) I used MAC Shimmer Time pigment.

I curled my lashes and applied Ardell Demi Wispies false lashes and used Maybelline Blackest Black Mascara on my lower lashes.

Lips:

I primed my lips with MAC Prep and Prime
I lined them using MAC crèmestick liner in Creamola (which is a nude color).
Cover Girl Outlast Lipstain in 420
Sephora Lipgloss in nr 14 which is a milky nude color. 













Rockin'

This is just a simple look I created to go out to an open air concert with my friends last night here in The Hague.. Unfortunately for us, it started raining cats and dogs, and we decided to leave early! Nevertheless, here is a photo of me, "Rockin" (finally) red lips! :-)



For my lips I used CoverGirl Outlast Lipstain in 430 and I topped it off with Wicked Ways by MAC ( Venomous Villians Collection) which is a bloody red. :-)

My take on Jeanius

So this was a long time coming and I do apologize for the long wait!
I decided to make it up to my readers by posting a look I created inspired by the MAC Jeanius Collection of last April.
I know this might be old to some who are MAC fans, but I take my time on everything ha!

Obviously I did my own version of the look by creating a more “glowy” face. Since it’s “Summer” over here, I wanted my face to have a healthy glow.

Bobbi Brown Corrector in Peach
MAC Studio Sculpt Concealer in NC42
MAC Prep & Prime Transparent Finishing powder using Sigma Large Powder F30 brush
I contoured my face with Sephora Blush Me Twice no. 2 using Sigma Large Angled Contour F40 brush.
I applied MAC Chic Couple Mineralize blush for my cheeks.
For my brows I used Anastasia Beverly Hills Eyebrow Pencil in Brunette.
Eyes:

I primed my eyelids using Too Faced Shadow Insurance
MAC Motorhead eye shadow all over the lid using Sigma Large Shader E60 brush
MAC Stovepipe Black eye shadow in the outer V and lower lash line using MAC 219 Pencil Brush
MAC Brulé eye shadow, as blending and Highlighter color using the Sigma Blending E25 Brush.
