Christmas Look

It is time for a Christmas look! A dramatic one at that.

I used Glamour Doll Eyes shadows. 

I put NYX jumbo pencil in Cherry on the lid. I blended it out with my finger. I applied FrankenGlamour by Glamour Doll Eyes, GDE, to the top of the crease and a little on the browbone to help blending later.

I took Mutant (GDE) and applied that in the crease with a tapered blending brush. I also added Brewster (GDE) to the whole red part of the lid. Then I added Philadelphia (GDE) to the outer half of the red part of the lid. This part is not shown in the pictures because I forgot to take pics of it.

I took Backstabber (GDE) and applied that to the crease so that it did not cover all of FrankenGlamour and Mutant, but there was like a thin line in the crease. I used an angled eyeliner brush in Foil Me, a mixing medium by GDE, and got some Backstabber on it and lined my top and lower lash lines.

Here you can see a drawing of some sort where to apply the shadows.

I used a clean blending brush to blend in the crease color, Backstabber, and the red shadows.

I used Sensai's black liquid eyeliner and Estee Lauder's lengthening mascara.

I used Blacktrack fluidline on the lower waterline.

And the full look !

Hope you enjoyed this look!!!

Colorful with Manly 120

I have been neglecting my Manly 120 palette, and I had had a very crappy day. This was just one thing that went yesterday...

I did this look last night. 

I used NYX's eyeshadow pencil in Lemon, and it's swatch is like this:

I used the following colors from the 120 palette.

From the color placement picture you can see where I placed the numbered eyeshadows. All the pictures in this post are clickable, so you can see them in a bigger size. I used the black in this palette as a liner. On my waterline I used a black pencil liner.

Then some more pictures of the look.

Hope you like it!

Greens

I did this look in the beginning of February, but only now posting it. I hadn't uploaded the pictures from my camera onto my computer for a long time.

It definitely needs black eyeliner. Definitely.

I used NYX's eyeshadow primer first. Then Make Up Store's Leaf. I applied that on the whole lid.

I placed Artdeco's Eye Designer in 52 Green Jewel which I forgot to add in the picture, to the crease, outer corner and upper lash line.

To add depth I added MAC's Plumage to the outer corner and a little up the crease.

Do you like it? 

PS. Found a new fantastic black eye liner! More on that later...

Not for daily use.

I posted a preview of this a couple weeks ago, saying I'd post the whole tutorial the following weekend. Yeah, I didn't. Sorry about that! I used the Manly 120 palette in this, and NYX's jumbo eyeshadow pencils.

Tutorial

First I applied a primer and then as a base I used NYX's jumbo eyeshadow pencils in Lemon and Purple.

I took a picture of my Manly and numbered them for personal use. Now I will use the same numbers here, I'll post a picture of the whole Manly so that you can see what colors I used. The numbers are explained with each picture.

I put 112 and 114 like this:

Then I added a highlight. You can use whatever you like for this. Then I applied a lighter purple, 88, a little over the purple 112, and on the Lemon jumbo pencil.

I took greenish shadows 4 and 10. 4 I placed in the innermost corner, 10 next to it, more on the lid.

 I took a blueish purple, 35, and placed that on the line of the purple 88 and green 10. 

I decided to add alittle more green to the border of green and purple. This time it was green 39.

I used a kajal liner in black on the top and bottom waterlines, and added mascara.

I took some black 114 and green 39 on a pencil brush and placed that on the lower lash line. Then I also blended the purple some more...

I added crazy lashes...

 ... that I wore for Halloween (I was Morticia Addams), but this time they had gone bad, and refused to function properly, so I threw them out after I took the pictures... Also the glue wasn't good anymore. Those two reasons are why the lashes look all weird, cause I didn't manage to place them properly.

Definitely not using that glue anymore... or this brand lashes... I want more than 1.5 uses out of them. 

Finished look! 

Thoughts?

Guess what my boyfriend said about this? He came home and said that "I'm going to say this now so that you believe me later, you've looked prettier." I didn't expect him to ask me to do my makeup like this every day, but I didn't expect what he said. Then  a while later before going to sleep he asked me if I got insulted by his words. I did and I didn't. You know? I don't expect him to say something about blending or something, but I expected something like "I like the colors" or something. He knows and I know I wont use makeup like this on a daily basis. This was for this blog for new years. I don't know. I can't remember what I felt that day, cause it was a while ago. I did this on like the last or the second last day of 2010...

Very simple look.

Hey everyone!

Today's eye of the day is a very simple look. Not a very natural look as you can see.

My everyday makeup tends to be a whole lot darker than the average girl's. Probably what I wear during the day is what majority of people who are not as crazy about makeup as I am, wear on a night out if even then, you know what I mean right?


I used MAC's Bare Study on the whole lid.

Skinny Jeans by GDE on the whole lid. Then dark matte brown in the crease. Black eyeliner and mascara to finish the look with.

It was a fun day at the chemistry lab today. I took these pictures after I came home. So this is what my makeup looks 5 hours after applying it. I don't ever touch up my makeup (with the exception of lip stuff) during the day.

What's your routine with touch ups? Do you do it, or just let your makeup be?

MAC Paint Pots and stuff

Hey everyone! How's it going? Good? Hope so!

This look came out of nowhere!

I put MAC's Bare Study Paint pot on the whole lid and nearly up to my brow. Then I put Delft like the picture below shows... I put paint pots 98% of the time with my fingers, I feel like blending them is easier then. Paint Pots 'dry' on your skin quite fast so if you want to get the blending done you need to work fast. Otherwise you'll have to blend it dry, and it gets patchy, like in the picture by the arrow. Click picture to get a better look.

This picture has only Bare Study and Delft. I put Delft in layers. (Actually I think these paint pots look quite good on their own... eyeshadows might not be absolutely necessary...)

I put some frosty beige eyeshadow to where I had put Bare Study.

The mossy green frost eyeshadow to where Delft was placed.

I put some MAC Plumage to the outer corner. And the lower lash line.

I used the Coastal Scents IB113 Taklon Liner brush with the black Makeup Store gel eye liner. Added Grimas matte black shadow on the gel liner. And some black mascara...

I need to do a "how I do my eyeliner"-post because after looking at numerous youtube videos and reading blogposts about it, I consider myself a weirdo cause I don't use the same technique that the majority of them seem to use.

Well..? :D

A look for the girls' night we had...

I'm quite sure this look was when I was practicing a St. Patrick's day look, but obviously came up with a better one. ;)

The liner is by GOSH, and it's Pretty Petrol.

There's some light, light brown in the inner corner. Lid has a brownish green.
Outer corner has some brown.

What do you think?

Super Green

I don't know if you have noticed yet, but all the posts since the beginning of July basically have been written in June, because of my travels & work. This is why I haven't always managed to reply to the comments soon after they've been posted. (See, I'm hopeful I have gotten lots and lots of comments during this time. ;) )

This is one of that looks that I did, but never posted here. I did this in March.

I can't remember what I used to create this look. I usually take a picture of all the products used, but not in this case for some reason.

I'm sure that the green in the outer and inner corners is by GDE and it's Olivia Green.

I have quite a few eyeshadows that are like the one in the middle of the lid, so I cannot be sure of that.

Any thoughts?
