LOTD: CUPCAKE TOPPING

 

 

This is a look my class mate actually did couple of times to me during our makeup period.

It was honestly the only makeup I kept the whole day after the class and the only makeup I have recreated since it to myself allready couple of times.

Only thing is that I added some of my own things to it (The winged liner and white waterline). The "Original one had only a really thin blavk liner (not winged), and the pink was matte color.

 

 

I think this really emphesizes blue eyes! :)
This also compliments my red hair (which hasn't changed after I colored it red haha :D I will stick into it!)

 

Remember to "LOVE" this at Makeup Geek Idea Gallery! (CLICK THIS)

 

 

Here's how you can achieve this look (the eyes)!

 

 

1. Apply a base (Mine was just a white kohl pencil)

 

2. Pat a dark grey eyeshadow to the outer corners and blend carefully towards the inner corner (Don't bring the dark too close to your inner corner or it will close up your eyes) [Small blending brush]

 

3. Pat the matte pink eyeshadow to the lid [Flat stiff brush] 

 

4. Add some light to the eyes by feathering the white eyeshadow from the inner corner towards the pink (little bit over it also) [Flat brush, soft rounded brush]

 

5. Feather some of the grey color on top of the pink, towards the center of the lid. [small flat brush]

 

6. Take a synthetic brush, wet it little bit and add a shimmery pink eyeshadow on top of the matte eyeshadow (By wetting the brush, you get the metallic effect. You can also use some kind of mixing medium like Inglots' Duraline) [Sythetic flat brush]

 

7. Do a lower lashline shadow with grey and black [Little pencil brush] (If your eye are small, skip this step or line only half away like I have done.)

 

8. Line the upper lashline with your favourite liner.

 

9. Add mascara

 

DONE! :)

Color Challenge: Purple and Yellow

 

Morning!! (I'm mentally still asleep).

Yesterday at makeup class one of my classmates said I shpuld do a purple + yellow makeup for her sometime.
... I got scared xD
'Cause I find that usually yellow looks really good only on darker skin tones.

And purple.... well, we don't want a bruised eye effect :D

But I took a challenge and as I got a day off today from school I tought I would try out a purple + yellow eye makeup.

Here's only one look for now. My eyes are so dry from washing the makeup away all the time in school + in home so they tear really easily. Can't create many looks on same day at the time, sorry :(

 

To achieve this look I used:

Face:
* Elite Fluide Perfection Foundation in "Opale" (Little too yellow for me)
* Meow Cosmetics mineral foundation in "Chausie (0-inquisitive)"
* Makeup For Ever Taupe eyeshadow for contour
* Makeup Geek Eyeshadow "Cupcake" as Blush (faded away in photo)

Eyes:
* Inglot base
* NYX Jumbo pencil "Milk"
* Makeup Geek e/s "Yellow Brick Road" (lid)
* Makeup Geek e/s "Goddes" (crease)
* BH Cosmetics 120 palette 2nd edition, 3 shades of purple (Lower lid)
* Inglot grey e/s (outer corner of the lower lid)

* Makeup Geek e/s "Gold Digger" (Highlight on the browbone and tear duct)
* Makeup Geek gel liner "Immortal" (Winged liner and upper waterline)
* Nyx Jumbo Pencil "Milk" (Lower waterline)

Thank you for reading! ^^

As my skin is good condition nowadays, I really don't use much of a face products, but I give you the instructions anyway.

1. Apply foundation/makeup base if you will (Inglot Makeup Base; silicone based, clear product that goes to all skin colours and shades.)

 

Now you may wanna apply your full face foundation (or concealer and then foundation... OR foundation and then concealer), this is what I did to achieve my look:

2. Elite Click & Glow Concealer in "Opale" (Used it under my eyes and few spots on my jaw line). >> Blend the product carefully.

3. Meow Cosmetics Mineral Foundation in "Chausie", shade 0-inquisitive (too loght for me at summertime, so added only a tinyest amount to even out my skin color.)

TUTORIAL: Tribal

It's time for a step by step tutorial! This time it's the "Tribal"- look I did few weeks ago. :)
Hope you enjoy!





* Inglot Eye Primer

* NYX Jumbo Pencil in "Milk"
* Meow Cosmetics "Tribal" (Lost Rainforest collection)
* Makeup Geek "Shimma Shimma"
* Makeup Geek "Corrupt"

* Makeup Geek "Last Dance"

* Makeup Geek "Vanilla Bean"

* Inglot Liquid Liner #25

 

 

Start by priming your eye with a regular primer. This prevents the NYX jumbo pencil from creasing:

Then apply the white sticky base (Nyx Jumbo pencil) to the center of your lid and also to the highest point of your brow arche if you wish:

Take the "TRIBAL" (Meow cosmetics) and and it with the flat stiff brush to your whole lid area:

Next I did my highlights with MUG "Vanilla Bean" (matte white) to the browbone and to the inner pocket of my eye. This step also prevents the darker shades to be so harsh:

Then pat your shimmery ivory color (MUG "Shimma Shimma") on top of the "Tribal". Stay only on the center of the lid:

With MUG's "Last Dance I darkened my crease like this:

With a matte black shadow (MUG "Corrupt") darken the outer part of your eye. Remember to blend well:

Then I did my liner:

Add mascara and your good to go:

OR if you have bigger eyes, you also can do your lower lashline. I have such a small eyes, I usually leave the lower lid empty:

I wish you all a happy day! :))

And remember to vote this look here: http://www.makeupgeek.com/idea-gallery/look/tribal-meow-cosmetics/

BTW!! My school starts next week! :) I already have my cosmetician outfit, but they sent me wrong colored shoes. xD
I got black shoes even if I ordered white. haha :D Oh well, I hope they sent the right shoes before I need them. I was little annoyed, 'cause everything else fitted me perfectly, but then the damn shoes were wrong. >_<
Also little bit my fault, if I don't get the shoes soon enough, I should have bought the stuff earlier (but I didn't knew!!!! <--- my poor explination) :P

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

Endless Nights

Hey! It's going to be a really short post - it's already 1:16 am here as I write this. I'm not in sleep yet 'cause I'm so nervous about the results of the cosmetology school. The letters from the school should arrive in the morning. I know staying up won't fasten the time, but I cant help it, if I'm nervous/scared.

Anyway! I did a really quick eye makeup today using the MEOW COSMETICS "ENDLESS NIGHTS" from the "JOYS OF SUMMER" Seasonal collection. :))

I only did this to my other eye, so there's (at least yet) no whole face photos this time. I was also already out of sunlight as some of you may notice.

* Inglot eyeprimer

* smoke gray shadow (Inglot, but I can't remember the number and just now I'm too lazy to get up from the bed. Sorry! :D)

* Medium brown eyeshadow (BH Cosmetics 120 palette 2nd edition)

* Too Faced Glitter Insurance

* Meow Cosmetics "Endless Nights" (Joys of Summer Seasonal Collection)

* Sugarpill Cosmetics Pressed Eyeshadow "Tako"

***

1. Prime your lid.

2. Pat some glitter insurance to the lid so that you live the outer half without.

3. With a flat stiff brush apply thin leyer of the grey color to the center of your lid (on top of the glitter insurance). NOT in the crease.

4. Take "Endless Nights" and pat it everywhere you had that glitter insurance (also on top of the grey shadow)

5. Take either fluffy dome shaped blending brush or a stiff dome crease brush and add the grey color to the outer-v and slightly to the crease.

6. With a blending brush and the medium brown eyeshadow, blend the grey color. (softens it little bit.)

7. Swipe your white color to the teardot and to the brow bones highest part as a highlight.

8. Line the lower lashline with the medium brown shadow. (optional.)

9. Line your waterlines with a black kohl pencil (optional.)

(10. I almost always do the winged liner with the liquid liner.)

11. Add mascara.

DONE. :)

***

Hope this wasn't total dissapointment :'DD

(If this was 'short' post... I wonder, what is long post.... O.O)

Night night! :))

(haha 'Endless Nights'...)

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"
* MUG "Razzleberry"

* MUG "Poolside"

* Meow Cosmetics Joys of Summer Collection "Heatwave"
* Meow Cosmetics Pleasures Collection "Sugar Daddy"

* 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... :) :/

Meow; Joys of Summer

Picture from www.meowcosmetics.com

1st. of June Meow Cosmetics launched their newest Seasonal Limited Edition Collection called "Joys of Summer". All the names of the eyeshadows, blushes and bronzers of this collection is named by the customers! They had this naming contest where you could tell your "joys" of summer.

Luckily two of my name suggestions were chosen in this collection! :) ("Heatwave" and "Lazy Days")

As a prize I could choose one full size eyeshadow (Meow Cosmetics sell also sample sizes!!). It was a hard thing to do, 'cause they're all so pretty!!! >_<  

In the end I wanted "Heatwave" (Tehee, named by me. :D), 'cause red eyeshadows seems to be so rare.

Heatwave. (www.meowcosmetics.com)

"Heatwave" is berry red with a golden sheen.

Because I also made an order at the same time, I also received 2 sample sizes from the "Joys of Summer" collection. :)

"Midnight Sun" (www.meowcosmetics.com)

Midnight Sun is "intense blue with strong purple fire ". I would say a blue with a purple hue.

There's something really eery on this color... : DD

"Endless Nights" (www.meowcosmetics.com)

Endless Nights is purple with silvery shimmer. (Really shimmery!! Yet subtle)

Heatwave, Endless Nights, Midnight Sun.
(Sorry about the bad picture, I'm not good at doing swatches so yet again I just do looks were you can see these better!)

Remember, as this is a SEASONAL collection, it will be gone at some point!

Where to buy?
http://meowcosmetics.com/joysofsummer.htm (Direct link to the "Joys of Summer" collection)

Sample size: 1$

Full Size eyeshadow: 8$

"Out Of Coffin" Charlaine Harris Inspired
“Ever since vampires came out of the coffin (as they laughingly put it) four years ago, I’d hoped one would come to Bon Temps. – -
I knew immediately what he was. – - his skin had a little glow, and I just knew.”

But I do my best to give verbal instrucions. :)

2. Take a small brush (eg. pencil brush.) ----> Add the "Last Dance" to the outer corner of your eye and drag it towards your brow.

4. Take your highlight color (white) and place it to the browbone's highest point.
