Metallic Sapphire

The lighting made my skin look discolored and odd. But I'm also not wearing foundation.

Electric blue! What I used:
  • MAC Paint in Bare Canvas all over lid 
  • NYX Jumbo Pencil in Black Bean as a base all over lid
  • Black eyesahdow in the crease. I used KVD Lucifer
  • Costal Scents loose mica powder in Metallic Sapphire. I also used it wet and applied it to the lid and inner lower lash line
  • Kat von D's Metal Orchestra palette color First Class, a shimmery white, in the inner corners
  • Physicians Formula Eye-Booster pen eyeliner in Ultra Black
  • Urban Decay 24/7 eyepencil in Zero
  • Benefit They're Real! Mascara on top and bottom lashes

    Red, Bold and Gold

    These colors looks great for fall. Rich, warm and bright. 

    What I used:
    • Urban Decay primer in Eden all over the lid.
    • NYX Jumbo Pencil in Milk as a base all over lid to cover any unevenness and brighten the colors that will be used.
    • Make Up For Ever Star Powder in Iridescent Red 949 applied to the inner portion of the lid and outer portion of eyelid, leaving the middle bare. (I also used this color on the outer 2/3 of lower lash line leaving the inner corner bare as well.)
    • NYX Jumbo pencil in True Gold used as base for middle part of lid.
    • bareMinerals True Gold color applied over gold NYX base on middle of lid. I also foiled it with MAC’s Fix +. (I applied the gold NYX jumbo pencil base on the inner 1/3 of the lower lash line and applied the bareMinerals shadow over it and foiled it as well.)
    • Kat Von D color Peanut (from the True Love palette or the Tattoo Chronicles Vol. 1 Palette) used as a highlight or blending color to stop the red from going to high up on the brow bone. This color is quite light and shimmery, if you want to tone the look and the shimmer down use a matte eyeshadow slightly lighter than your skin tone.
    • KvD color Tijuana (from the Memento Mori palette) used in the outer v and lower lash line used to darken and smoke out the outer v. A matte dark brown would work well too, like MAC's Brown Down.
    • Blend! Make sure all the colors blend together seamlessly.
    • bareMinerals Queen Phyllis applied in the inner corner of the eye.
    • Revlon Colorstay liquid eyeliner in black to create a dramatic winged eyeliner.
    • MAC Blacktrack Fluidline wiggled between the upper lashes and applied to the upper waterline.
    • Finish the look by applying mascara, I used Maybelline Colossal mascara in Glam Black. (for volume at base of lashes) Revlon Fabulash in black.

    New Start!

    This is my new makeup blog. My other blog, makeupbordello.blogspot.com, was kind of destroyed. Instead of re-posing everything that was deleted on that blog (because I didn't save my posts or picture) I thought I'd just start fresh! I might post a few entries from my former blog here because I liked a few of the tutorials I had done. I'll try and stay up to date with this one and post more frequently.
