Indigo Pearl

GOOD MORNING! (its morning to me haha)

Last night i was doing a photo shoot and here is my next make up look. I LOVE IT! and i hope you will too. I bought this indigo coloured pigment and i just HAD to use it in one of my looks, here is how it turned out:



Here ae some products i used (not many by the way):
Urban Decay Primer Potion
Bellapierre Cosmetics pigment in Radio Active (that's the new pigment)
NYX im Casablanka to blend out the colour on the upper lid
Urban Decay in Jinx and Flipside for the crease
MAC in Vanilla to highlight
You can use any liquid black eyeliner to create winged look for both top and bottom lines, I used Faces black liquid eyeliner
Lise Watier Eye Glitter Liner in Opale
Mascara L'Oreal Voluminous in Carbon Black

Here are other views (with a flash):





And here are views without the flash (colours showed a bit more like in real life):




*this is my favourite view :P*






I hope You like it!

See You soon :) XOXO

Request Tutorial - Asian Eye

Hello Everyone!

Here is a very short tutorial for a request that have been left on my page for an Asian eye look. I am not sure exactly as to what it was supposed to be line exactly but that's my interpretation from the request since no picture was attached :) no worries if that's not what you're looking for let me know and I will tweak it :P



Step #1: As you normally would outline a black line on your upper eyelid, don't bring it up too high like you would normally for a cat eye, just straight to the side.



Step #2: Connect the upper line with a bottom line still making sure that the tail is to the side.



Step #3: Line your waterline with a black eyeliner.



Step #4: Set the eyeliner with a black eyeshadow, you may use the eyeshadow to make a smoky look if you wish to.










This is a complete look :)

I hope you enjoyed it and if you have any more request i will be glad to show you how to do them!

XOXO

Chocolate Raspberry

Hello Everyone!

Today i have another look for you inspired by my favourite flavour of chocolate :) raspberry ... mmmmm..... :)
Alright so this look was not too hard it just look a lot of patience haha
I really hope you like it and feel free to comment :)

Oh and just so you know I am not ignoring a request that i have gotten on my page! I am getting to it, I will probably be posting that on Saturday night since that's when my photographer is available ;P

Anyway here you go:




So, products that I used to get this look were:
Urban Decay Primer Potion as my base
To get the layers of colours I used pigments from Faces and Ben Nye and Urban Decay Eyeshadow, to start from bottom up:
White frosty pigment from Faces
Azalea pigment by Ben Nye
Twice Baked by Urban Decay
Pink frosty pigment from Faces (this one is also on the bottom lid-middle)
And repeat the Twice Baked on the top
As my highlight I used MAC's Crystal Avalanche
The thick eyeliner on the top and the bottom is a liquid eyeliner in Black #1 from Faces
Waterline is Urban Decay 24/7 eye pencil in Zero
Mascara, L'Oreal Voluminous Black

Just a reminder you don't need to use any SPECIFIC products i used in this look, simple cheaper versions will work just as well :)

(Oh and I am not using any products that any of the companies mentioned above have provided me with, i have purchased all of those myself :P)

and here are few other pictures to give you a better view:









I hope you liked it, and again if you need me to be more specific on any of the products, techniques or colours do not hesitate to ask.
Looking forward to hearing from you XOXO

Teal Mist

Hello :)

Today is the day when i post my first look am I am very excited to hear what You think!
This is a very soft teal look that i have came up with, for this week
I have added a black accent to it to make it more abstract but still wearable
I believe this make up really describes who I am as a make up artist, and what I am trying to accomplish in my make up work. This is why I've chosen for it to be my, very FIRST, look that i post here on the blog :)
I hope You like it and feel free to comment



For this make up I used:
Urban Decay Primer Potion
Mainly the 120 Manly Eyeshadow Palette (the top row with teal colours, and the second last black)
From eyeshadows I also reached for Crystal avalanche by MAC (inner corner and highlight), Parrot by MAC and Humid also by MAC (for the outer "V")---> (but to be honest you can VERY similar colours in the 120 palette as well)
The liquid eyeliner on upper lid is a less known brand of make up, FACES its #1 Black, any liquid black liner will do.
Waterline eyeliner i used Wet n Wild Mega Liner in Turquoise (very gently just on the edge)
Mascara (never fail) L'Oreal Paris Voluminous.

(if You need me to be more specific as to the 120 palette do not hesitate to ask :)


And here are more pictures for a better overall view:










Any comments and suggestions are greatly appreciated

Come back soon for my next look ;)

Preparations...

I am very excited, since today is the day I am getting my new photo camera woohoo!!!
I am not sure what kind yet but I did a LOT of research and I think we, me and my boyfriend (the photographer :P), will settle on the Panasonic DMC-FZ28 it seems like it's going to do the job I need it to do :)
My second option is Fujifilm S200EXR, I love the way this camera looks and its features, it has more megapixels but unfortunately low battery power... LET THE BEST ONE WIN!
Soon after my first post with a picture of my make up will be posted so you will be able to see my work :)
i hope you enjoy it
See you soon <3

Here is a picture of the Panasonic Camera:



This is the Fujifilm Camera:
