Eye makeup Jan 29, 2011

For this look I used the Glamore Doll pigment in Lover's Lane. I also used the sliver/black in the Wet N' Wild "Lust" pallet, as well as the black with purple glitter. Lover's Lane falls out really badly, so use it wet. It also transfers to the upper part of the lid, hence the black out...

Great News from Illamasqua!!!

They now accept Paypal!!! I'm so delighted to hear this news, I have a debit card and I've always wanted to try some foundation from Illamasqua!! Shopping online with a debit is very dangerous, more dangerous than shopping with a credit card! So I use paypal for everything, and I'm really happy that now I can shop my favorite makeup website with peace of mind!

I love this look...

And I'll try to do this for Halloween. This is the cover for Suga Shikao's Funkaholic. I LOVE Suga Shikao!!!

Halloween

Though I haven't gotten any requests for Halloween makeup looks/tutorials, I have a few of my own! I will be doing so really wearable looks during this time as well, but they will be based off of history/historical events. I will also start doing movie review blog posts as well.

Wish me luck!!!

Halloween Inspiration

Okay so I was looking through some of Michael Parks work, and was so inspired! I think some of the looks could be great Halloween costumes or just designs. Hoping I can pull it off and recreate/reinterpret some of his work. Really, really cool photos, check it out! Click here.

Purple Look

This is just a gradient, deep purple to lilac, look. I lined my eyes with black eyeliner(any will work). Then I placed the middle matte purple color from Wet&Wild's ColorIcon palette in Lust. Above that I places the purple with gold flecks from the Beauty Buzz Trio Eyeshadow palette in 03. I then blended where those colors met. The next color I used was the soft lilac color from L.A. Colors 12 Eyeshadow Palette in Chic. The last color I used was for the highlight. I placed the white purple from the Beauty Buzz Trio Eyeshadow palette in 03. The one adjustment I made to the look was that I set my eyeliner with the black purple from the Wet&Wild ColorIcon palette in Lust. This color is black with purplish red sparkles. For the lip I just used a red lipstick(any will work); over this I put a blue lip gloss. I don't know the name of the color or the name of the brand, since I've had it forever and the paint is all worn off, but Halloween is on the way, so maybe you can find some then.
