Dare to say it’s wearable?!

Thursday, July 8th, 2010

Blues freak me out. Which doesn’t explain why I have a palette full of pretty blues and teals… I guess they’re so tempting to buy because they look gorgeous, but I always feel like an idiot when I wear them.

So when I saw this combination posted up as a FOTD on specktra.net I had to try it. It’s almost like a neutral look, but still has some color – blue!

I have NO idea what was up with my concealer today… it applied all chunky. So I had to wipe it all off. Not sure if it was due to my brush being uber dirty (today was brush washing day luckily), or if I just sucked at applying it today. So my undereye area looks like poo, just ignore it :P

    I called the post office today, and it turns out my package of empty pans were sitting in the back room. Apparently, they weren’t going to deliver them?! LOL. I have no idea, but I guess they’re going to throw them in the mail for tomorrow. So eventually I should be able to press my pigments!

    So I have a meteorology test today, so I thought it’d be a fitting time to try out the Gulf Stream eyeshadow I picked up last week at the CCO!

    Here goes nothing!

    Eyes

    • MAC Painterly paint pot as base (Sephora flat e/s brush)
    • MAC Steamy e/s on inner half of lid (239 brush)
    • MAC Electra e/s over the Steam (239 brush)

    • MAC Crystal Avalanche e/s as highlight (272 brush)

    Here’s today look! I did this completely random honestly!

    Products (all MAC unless noted):

    Face

    • Mineralized loose foundation in medium (109 brush)
    • Redhead Mineralized Skinfinish (168 brush)
    • Studio Touch Up Stick concealer in NW20 (194 brush)
    • Fix+ (2 squirts once all makeup was done)

    Eyes

    • Painterly paint pot as base (242 brush dupe from Sephora)
    • Mancatcher e/s all over lid, up to brow bone (139 brush)
    • Steamy e/s in outer V, and as liner both top and bottom (139 brush, and Mary Kay slanted e/s brush for lining)
    • Crystal Avalanche e/s as a highlight (272 brush)
    • Benefit Eye Bright in inner corners and waterline
    • Brow Set in clear
    • Make Up For Ever Smokey Lash mascara top and bottom

    Lips

    • C-Thru lipglass

    I took pictures before I did concealer on this massive mountain of a pimple on my forehead and before the Eye Bright, and then after I did it. So I used the later pictures, except for the last one I’m going to post, that was done before those two items.

    and for the one without concealer or Eye Bright

    Obviously, the concealer helped! :) Unfortunately, it is a discontinued product, but I see mine lasting forever since I haven’t even sharpened it yet, and I’ve had it for 1.5 years. It’s just nice that it’s in pencil form, so I can “draw” it on, then blend it in with the 194 brush. The Eye Bright also perked up my eyes a bit, so I am going to try to use that product more often.

    My hair left a lot to be desired today, sorry about that, haha.
