What’s On My Face – Vol. 6

Hey everyone! I’m going to try something new and insert diagrams for  the eyeshadow portion of my looks – let me know if you find them useful (or not!).

I did this look in an attempt to look Christmas-y themed for an event we were having mid-day at work without going too over the top. I did get a few looks regarding the crystals, but once people clocked on that it was for the event, it didn’t seem quite as odd to them! Having recently bought the Too Faced “A Few of my Favorite Things” palette, I wanted to make use of it right away!

Eyes: (All Too Faced)

  1. Tinsel was applied to the inner two-thirds of the lid.
  2. Evergreen was applied to outer third and swept slightly into the crease.
  3. Chocolate Milk was blended into the crease.
  4. Cream Colored Ponies was used to highlight the brow with MAC‘s Silver Dusk layered on top.

I then used MAC‘s Blacktrack fluidline to create a winged liner and applied L’OrealVoluminous Carbon Black to my lashes. The rhinestones were from a craft store and I usedDuo lash adhesive to get them to stick to my skin.

Lips: MAC Brick lipliner with Russian Red lipstick on top.

Cheeks: Too Faced Melt Into Spring with Dior Amber Diamonds to highlight.

Face: Bourjois Healthy Mix Serum foundation in 52 Vanilla

I loved this look! I wanted to wear something a bit more glitzy to go see Catching Fire (although really, I should’ve gone for an oranger/red theme@) and this is what I came up with.

  1. Verve on the very center of the lid.

For the winged liner I use MAC‘s Blacktrack fluidline and applied L’Oreal Voluminous Carbon Black to my lashes.

I love how the iridescence of the white-gold mineral eye shadow makes the matte green actually sparkle. Beautiful colours.

Eyes: I first applied NYX‘s Jumbo Eyeshadow Pencil in Milk all over the lid because I feel I really need a sticky white base for the mineral shadow I’m about to apply next.

  1. Using the lighter, white-gold side of MAC‘s Burning: Illusionary Ambition duo, I applied that shade all over the lid.
  2. Sleek Fern was applied into the outer corner and blended into the crease. Fern was used to line the outer half of the lower lash line.
  3. I blended Urban Decay Naked into the upper crease to blend out the green shadow.
  4. MAC Brule on the brow bone.

This is one of two staple looks that I have (‘ll post the other one at a later time). This is the more rushed, “need to get out the door” look. This look was predominantly created so I could finally finish up Haux, my oldest MAC shadow.

20131206_look6.2

  1. Maybelline Color Tattoo in Barely Beige all over the lid.
  2. MAC Haux in the outer corner and blended into the crease.
  3. MAC Brule to highlight the brow and blend out the crease

Topped it off with L’Oreal Voluminous Carbon Black mascara.
