Another makeup roundup! I had a backlog of looks I hadn’t posted yet, some even from early May. I’m surprised I had such a backlog (and there’s still about 7 more looks on my harddrive) because it feels like I haven’t been that inspired lately (aside from Clarins’ Aquatic Treasures collection, holy smokes) but it seems my memory was just rather faulty.

And we’re starting off with a BANG! This is my absolute favourite of the whole lot. Neon? Orange? Chartreuse? YES PLEASE! I wore this out briefly to a brunch during Pride and loved every second of it.

Eyes
(using the Makeup Revolution Redemption Acid Brights palette – total knockoff for theSleek Acid palette) I first applied a white base to my lid (NYX Jumbo Pencil in Milk), then:

1. Yellow on the inner half of the lid.
2. Orange on the outer half of the lid.
3. Purple shade on the outer corner and on the lower lash line.
4. Pinky-purple through the crease.
5. Wet n Wild Brule on the brow bone.

I used MAC‘s Blacktrack fluidline to create the wing and applied Make Up For Ever‘sSmoky Stretch mascara to my lashes.

• Blush: MAC Ripe Peach

I have a bucket full of makeup that is stuff I have yet to use. Most of it is stuff from swaps, or samples from Sephora (including their 100 point perks), so every now and then I make an effort to go into it and pull out items that I REALLY should at least try before I put away into the depths of my makeup collection. The main star of this look is a L’Oreal Infallible eyeshadow I picked up at a CBB swap.

Eyes

1. L’Oreal Infallible shadow in Endless Sea all over the lid.
2. MAC Sketch on the outer corner and through the crease.
3. MAC Dazzlelight on the brow bone.

On my lashes is Make Up For Ever Smoky Stretch.

Rest of the Face

• Foundation: Boots No7 Instant Radiance in Cool Vanilla
• Bronzer: Hard Candy Hula Hula
• Blush: Hourglass Incandescent Electra
• Highlighter: MAC Soft & Gentle

I had always thought this lip colour (Too Faced‘s Bon Bon) was too awkwardly bright for me. That’s not to say that I don’t love bright lip colours, but this seemed to look so weird on my skin when I didn’t have a bit of a tan. I love it so much more now that I’ve got a bit of colour on my skin! Anyway, the basis for this look was that I really wanted to wear MAC‘sPetal Power blush and tried to figure out a look that would work with it. Quite pleased with the results!

Eyes
(all Makeup Geek)

1. Peach Smoothie through the crease.
2. Starry Eyed on the inner half of the lid.
3. Goddess on the outer half of the lid.
4. Cocoa Bear in the outer corner.
5. Rapunzel on the brow bone.

I created the wing with MAC‘s Blacktrack fluidline and applied Make Up For Ever Smoky Stretch to my lashes.

3. Colour Pop Animal on the outer half of the lid.

Having a play around with some Makeup Geek shadows. I like the outer corner colour, but not so sold on the lid shade.
