EOTD: MAGPIE

Sugarpills' pigment "Magpie"... Gorgeous deep, dark blue, glittery color I never manage to photograph properly. *sigh*

Flash, no Flash, natural light, no natural light, I have tried them all.
But I am determinded to keep trying.
Anyway here's a look featuring the "Magpie" pigment from Sugarpill. I have used it so little 'cause I feel I suck with blues and greens :( (Not to mention with glittery pigments which I tend to drop all over my face xD)

 

 

 

 

 

Products used in this look:

* Lime Crime eyeshadow base (sample)
* Nyx Jumbo Pencil "Milk"
* Makeup Geek e/s: "Corrupt" (Black), "Poolside" (Bright Blue with hint of gold)
* Sugarpill Loose Shadow "Magpie"
* BH Cosmetics 120 palette 2nd edition (2 shades of blue)
* Sugarpill Cosmetics Pressed e/s "Tako" (White)
* Inglot Liquid Liner #25 (Black)
* Makeup Geek Gel Liner "Immortal" (Black)
* Maybeline Colossal Waterproof Mascara

 

The numbers indicate the place of the each color, not the order.

1. Apply your eyeshadow base. Or if you don't have any primer, use a thin coat of concealer.

2. Apply a white base (mainly to the center and inner corner of your lid). Mine was Nyx Jumbo Pencil "Milk", but you can also use white gel liner or white kohl pencil if you prefer.

 

3. Draw a cat eye shape with a black shadow and pencil brush towards your eyebrow. (You can use pieces of tape as your quideline to do this.)

4. Feather the blach shadow towards the middle section of your eye.

5. Take your dark blue pigment and pat that gently to the center of your lid (I applied it wet).

6. Take a mixture of light blue and mid blue shadow to your blending brush and add them to the crease to blend the black and dark blue together.

7. Feather the pure white shadow to the inner corners and slightly on top of the dark blue shadow. Also add the white to your browbone as a higlight color.

8. Add bright blue shadow to the lower lashline.

 

9. Darken the outer corner of your lower lashline with black (or if you prefer, with dark matte blue)

10. Line the waterline with black.

11. Make a winged liner with your liner (Liquid, pencil, shadow, gel which ever you prefer.)

12. Add generous amount of mascara.

YOU'RE DONE! :)

Thank you for reading!

Autumn; The Second Spring

 

~Autumn is a second spring when every leaf is a flower.~

 

I love Autumn! I was born in spring, but in a way I feel like I'm Autumn child.

I actually don't even know excatly why I like autumn so much... huh, weird - I just enjoy it (even if I get 'depressed' 'cause it gets so dark in the fall -.-) . :D

 

Sometimes when I see a big pile of fallen, colorful leaves I got this sudden urge to jup to the pile like a little child... But I won't... 'cause people would think I'm totally crazy. hmph! ;(

*sigh* No leaf piles for me.

 

Instead I suffocated my childish urges by doing a fallen leaves inspired MU-look :)
Hope you like it, I worked really hard for this!

And don't forget to vote the look here: http://www.makeupgeek.com/idea-gallery/look/autumn-spirit/

To create this look I used:

* Nyx Jumbo Pencil "Milk"

*MUG "Chickadee"

*MUG "Yellow Brick Road"

*MUG "Mandarine"

*MUG "Razzleberry"
*MUG "Fuji"

Holiday Makeup Trial

 

 

Hello beautiful readers!

My new friend and a classmate of mine asked if I could do her new years eve makeup. Well... CHALLENGE ACCEPTED! :P

She wants a super, hyper party look with a BLACK/DARK shadow. I haven't done anything super dark for a while, so I decided to practise and this is a TRIAL 1 I came up with the party look in my mind:

 

 

STELLAR EYES

 

 

* Inglot Eyeprimer

*MAC Blitz & Glitz Gel Liner (base for the black)

* Makeup Geek e/s "Shimma Shimma"

*Makeup Geek e/s "Corrupt"

*Makeup Geek e/s "Last Dance"

*Too Faced Glitter Insurance

*Sugarpill Chromalust Loose Shadow "Stella"

*Sugarpill Chromalust Loose Shadow "Magpie"

 

****

 

Personally I felt little bit odd with this dark makeup. My eyes looked so much smaller :DD

That's why I tried to use much light color in the inner corners.

 

For the end of the text, here's a close-up. :)

Like this 'cause the STELLA loose shadow/Glitter is showing beautifully. <3

(Those of who have used Sugarpill Loose Shadows, know that thy are so gorgeous, but tricky to photograph.)

 

Hope you liked it! Feel free to leave a comment or write a e-mail, if you have questions! (Or requests or etc. :))

Midsummer Night

Hi! ^_^

Midsummer is kind of big thing here in Finland... I don't even know why (???), but anyway we celebrate it : DD So this look was kind of inspired by Midsummer nights. :)

I think that was all. Haha : DD I kind of just messed different colors together and didn't even look what was I using. x)

Because I have blue eyes, this looks really icy on me, don't you think?

And on top of that I have so pasty face! xDDD 

***

I have been lately quite distracted by different matters, so I haven't done makeups so regularly than'normally'. I try to catch up in the next week!

Also I ask to understand that the time I start at the school, I'll not be able to do makeup looks everyday - maybe weekends and if I have day off from school. :)

Hope you all are doing well! <3

Iron Man Inspired

Wihii, I was subconsiously inspired by Iron Man (From Iron Man and The Avengers). BTW, I haven't seen the Avengers movie... Bohoo :((
This was meant to be only in Facebook, but I've changed my mind. I know there must be hunders of looks that are really much like mine, but anyway. I wasn't meant to do this - only after I had done the upper lid I got that 'hey!' moment and added the blue liner to get the Iron Man colors. :D

***

FACE:

* Make Up For Ever HD Foundation #115 mixed with Illamasqua Skin Base Foundation 1

* Meow Cosmetics Mineral Foundation in "Spynx" (if you're wondering, my face doesn't look cakey at all even if I'm using these foundations together, because I use such a tiny amounts. This is just a combination that works for me and especially, if I'm taking pictures.)

* Meow Cosmetics Tigers Eye Bronzer in "Luck Light"

EYES:

* Nyx Jumbo Pencil "Milk"

* MUG "Gold Digger"
* MUG "Shimma Shimma"

* MUG "Chickadee"

* Sugarpill Cosmetics Pressed Eyeshadow "Tako"

* Ardell Invisiband False Lashes "Sexies" 

Usually I don't use this dramatic makeup at public, but yesterday I did leave this on when I went to the store. Nothing 'horrible' happened to me *gasp*! :D Couple people did gave me little strange stare, but hopefully they were inside their heads like: "WAAAA IRON MAN!!!!" Haha xD

With brown eyes

I'm not planning on doing a tutorial for this, but if people are interested and I get some requests, I can consider! :)

Leave a comment or sent a e-mail (sidebar).

Hope you lil' Readers enjoyed! :) <3

Ps. I'm waiting my Makeup Geek Lipstick to arrive this week. So excited, 'cause I yet haven't found any lip products that are so 'comfortable' I don't want to bite my lip all the time >_< (The stress reaction to bite my lip and also if the lipstick feels like pealing off.)

Also I'm waiting some other new products. :3 Not telling you yet what they are. Tehee

And, and, and (so hyperactive, haha :D) this thursday I will hear I got into the cosmetology school!!!!!!!! So happy, but yet stressed at the same time, 'cause this means really much for me... :) :/

Razzleberry Slushie

Hey, hey, hey! Here's what I did today :)

Slushie, slushie :3

I'm not even sure why, but I'm not completely pleased how this came up. :DDD Maybe because of the photography. So I'm sorry if the colors seems too bright - in my computer they're fine, but every screen is different. :)

I wont yack anymore, I just let the pictures speak for me :)

Razzleberry Slushie;

Here's the products;

FACE;

* Mufe HD Foundation

* Meow Cosmetics Mineral Foundation - Chausie (Inquisitive) (Yes I used a foundation on top of the foundation...)

* Aromaleigh Mineral Cheek Blush in "Sakura"

EYES;

* Inglot Eyeprimer

* NYX Jumbo Pencil in "Milk"

* BH Cosmetics 2nd edition 120 Palette (2 pinks and 1 black)

* MUG "Razzleberry

* Sugarpill Chromalust Loose Shadow "Tiara"

* Sugarpill Pressed Eyeshadow "Tako"
* Inglot Liquid liner #25

* Red Cherry lashes JB/CP

LIPS;


* Inglot #242

In this the "Razzleberry" shows little better. (I used it in the crease under two other pinks)

Makeup Geeks' "Razzleberry" is truly a unique color. It's a true, vibrant red with gold sparkles in it! It blends like a dream and feels really smooth. "Razzleberry" is so pigmented that when I first time took it into my brush (barely touched the shadow) I noticed there was already way too much color in my brush (a good surprise 'cause wiht some less pigmented shadows you almost need to rub the shadow to get decent amount of color!)

This time I only used it as a kind of a blending color with other pinks, but in the (near) future I will doo more looks with "Razzleberry". :))

That was that Lil' Readers! Hope you liked it! I had fun doing this. <3 :)
Let me know, if you want a tutorial! (Didn't take step-by-step photos now, 'cause I was spontaniously planning this while doing the look at the same time. <--- that style seems to work be better than detailed planning :D)

New Makeup Goodies!

Hey!!!!!!!!!!!!

My birthday came early this year! Know why? 'Cause the mailwoman came (what a nice mailwoman she was, she bought all of my boxes straight to the door and the regular mail also!).

Now I act just like some reeeeeeally crazy makeup bimbo... BUT DON'T CARE! :D I'm really tired because all of the entrance exams and so on, but this cheered.

I received;

* Makeup Geek eyeshadows
* BH Cosmetics 120 eyeshadow palette.

I'm going to tell about them later more. Now I'm just too lazy, I have been writing almost three hours straight last NIGHT (why does all the inspiration come always in the middle of the night???) and today I was doing my essay to the Cosmetology school (jus sent it to there)

I feel like a zombie; I'm pale (ermm, something new?), my eyes aren't even open entirely, I'm mumbling by myself, my hair is like a huge birds nest (I wonder is that why all the little birds in the woods confuse me to their nests and flought so near as I was walking our wiener dog :'DD... obviously I had to hide myself in the woods.).

On top of that I pumb into doors and walls as I walk around the house - like I don't have any control... Oh wait, that happens all the time, it's not part of my "zombie mood".

Well wasn't there enought excuses for me to write about the products later? :D
But I do have some pictures for you.

Makeup Geek and BH Cosmetics.
And my dirty floor. :3

Hahaa, I love that packaging material!!!! (like a little child, being happy because of some foam.)

Makeup Geek shadows.
I will show you more picture later :) (and I also tell the names later)

But this I must show you right now! This is the shadow I was waiting most eagerly! <3 Red with gold sparkle. >.< "Razzleberry" (I hope I wrote that right)

Oh, look, my nails are actually quite nice! haha.

With this palette I was really worried that the eyeshadows are cracked by the time I got it, but look how well it was packed! There was like three leyers of bubblewrab around the palette and on top of that it was in the cardboard box. No CRACKS! 

Tehee, not going to show the inside yet :P

Here are the goodies together... I have to solve where I'm going to put that palette. Even for those MUG refil pans I don't have a empty palette, but I have quite unique place for them. :) 

Before I go, I HAVE TO SHOW YOU THIS!!!

Apparently I have a serious problem with cute cosmetic packages, 'cause I have saved all the MUG and Sugarpill EMPTY packages! :'DD Don't ask why, 'cause I really don't know - just can't toss them away.

'Cute package syndrome'.

Hope my close friend doesn't see this 'cause I'm sure she would snap me 'cause of this; "Why on earth you have saved those? You don't do anything with them!"

Doesn't it look like the basket is filled with the refill pan packages? :DD Under them I'm hiding ugly nail polishes and foundation applicators. :>
(On the right you can see part of the Tarino Tarantino/Paul Mitchell hair treatment liquid.)

That's all for now. Stay tune for the more detailed product descriptions and more! :) And as always, feel free to e-mail me or leave a comment.

HAVE A GREAT DAY LIL' READERS!

Tutorial; Sun Cocktail

Here's now the other tutorial I promised to do! :)

SUN COCKTAIL

NOTE!

The one I did for the tutorial, came up to be little bit lighter than the original one! (but just use more orange, haha :D)

Sorry if my skin is freakishly pale, I used flashlight.

PRODUCTS;

* MUG "Chickadee"
* MUG "Corrupt"

* MUG "Goddes"
* Sugarpill "Tako"

* Sugarpill Loose Shadow "Goldilux" (BOHOOO, I'm almost out of my Goldilux, 'cause I only had a sample size!! ;( )

* MUFE e/s #02

* Ardell False Lashes "Babies"

Start the Sun Cocktail look with primer;

 Add "Chickadee" (or anu burnt orange) all over the lid;

Blend some yellow into the crease;

Very lightly add more "Chickadee" on top of the yellow you just added;

 (OPTIONAL). Darken the orange with a copper color ("Goddes" from Makeup Geek);

The fun and SPARKLY part! Pat Sugarpill's Goldilux to the center and inner parts, but leave outer corner without (remember use some glitter insurance);

 Blend black color ("Corrupt") to the outer corner with the orange shadow on your brush;

 Add your highlight color to the browbone and blend harsh lines + add "Goldilux" to the lower lashline;

As you can see, I lost some of that yellow and orange. You just need to keep adding those colors to get the right intensity.

 Then wipe some mascara and line your lower waterline with white. (I also made the orange stronger at this stage);

Then just the false lashes;

Original picture

YOUR SUN COCKTAIL IS ALL DONE! :)

Let me tell you, this is SUPER ÜBER sparkly under the sun because of the Sugarpill's Goldilux! (I think I have to buy the full size jar!) <3

Hope you liked it Lil' Readers!
