More brushes, more colors! That's what I need to really get good enough to blog about my make up endeavors but humor me and let me show you what I've accomplished so far. Remember this is coming from a thirty year old who's spent most of her life all nat-ur-al.
Look 1: My favorite of the week, gold and black, found on pinterest! So I may have bought a gold lipstick in the Dominican Republic...who knows why...but I sure did use it as an eyeshadow this week! And then I blended a dark grey eyeshadow into the corner edges. I used a shimmering light pink on my lips with a little of the gold lipstick on top. The I put a tissue on my mouth and dusted a translucent powder on my lips because I heard that makes it last longer. Another trick is to apply a darker contouring shade into that crevice of your face below your cheekbones to make you look like you lost five pounds. I can't remember if I did that in this photo or not or if I just put a bronzer on my cheeks as usual.
Look 2: Here I am working on my cat eye. I tried both a scotch tape tutorial and a spoon tutorial online and haven't mastered either but I shall keep practicing! Here is where I think I did the contouring trick I mentioned above.
Look 3: This was my attempt at the smoky eye but the photo is terrible. I have got to learn how to take photos of myself. It looks like I barely have on any color so it's definitely not smoky. However I do remember one trick I attempted from Pinterest. I drew the cat eye with my liquid eyeliner pen first and then I blended it in to create that darker color on the outside edge and crease. Then I touched up the liner and added it to the bottom lid when I was finished with the eyeshadow.
Look 4: Again the photos are not doing the color any justice so hopefully this isn't pointless. Here I was trying to play with the little colors that I own. I first swept my golden emerald infallible on the whole lid and crease. Then I used a shimmery light pink in the inside corners, on the inner half of my lid and below the brow. Then I added an extra kick with a gold sparkly eyeliner in the inside corners, top and bottom, but the photo shows nothing! Then I added black eyeliner on the top lid only. Hopefully you can get the point without seeing it...oh and in all the photos I'm still using my loreal true match lumi foundation with the cream shimmery blush and sometimes bronzer.
Looks 5 and 6: my mother! I never learned how to put make up on other people but mom is even more all nat-ur-al than me so she was a good place to start. The first photo is just bare minerals foundation, some bronzer on cheeks and forehead, the loreal cream shimmery blush from my last post, a little eyebrow pencil and lipstick! The second photo we did the same but put a shimmery pink on her lids, added mascara and used the loreal liquid lipstick, from my last post, in a brighter pink.
