Fun With Makeup Friday!

Hey there! I'm starting a new thing that I hope I'll stick with. It's Fun With Makeup Friday, where I'll be a little more creative with my makeup and post pics here (if I can). They might go up on Saturday.


Here's today's look! I need to figure out a way to make the pictures give the look justice. You can't see just how blue and green it is. I took inspiration from peacock colors. Here are close-ups of the eyes:


I messed with the vibrancy and saturation in Photoshop in an effort to make it look more like it does in real life, but it still basically looks like a green eye with sorta purple liner on the lower lash line.

Well, I'll tell you what I used so you can get a better idea of how it looks.


So many palettes from everywhere! Lots of different brands involved. Now here's the process.


As you  can see, that gel liner and shadow from Autumn Leaves have been used a lot! I love them. L'Oréal's awesome.

On the rest of my face....


Foundation: Revlon Colorstay Whipped in 110 Ivory.

Concealer: CoverGirl & Olay Simply Ageless Eye Concealer in Very Light.

Powder: Maybelline New York Mineral Power Finishing Veil Translucent Powder for setting under eye concealer and T-zone.

Contour: bronzer part of Wet 'n' Wild ColorIcon bronzer in Don't Be Shellfish (it's limited edition :( I'm so sad because it's great for contouring and highlighting. It's two-in-one, and the bronzer is basically matte. The permanent ones are shimmery)

Highlight: Hard Candy Blush Crush Baked Blush in Honeymoon.

Mascara: It's here because I forgot to photograph it with the other eye stuff. I used Essence I Love Extreme Crazy Volume mascara on my top lashes and CoverGirl Professional Super Thick Lash mascara on the lower lashes.


Here are the blushes I used. They're in the Ulta palette thing I have and they don't have names. The left is a really neutral pink color and the other is a soft plum. I mixed them together and thought it turned out pretty. You can't really see it in the picture because they'd already begun to wear off (I'd gone to class before taking the picture), plus the lighting kind of washed me out a little.

Lip products!


Wow, that photo is not really helpful. I used Jordana Easyliner For Lips in Rock n' Rose to line and fill in my lips and then used Revlon Super Lustrous Lipstick in Primrose all over my lips and Silver City Pink to highlight the center of my lips.

Whew, that was a long post! I hope you enjoyed it. Was it helpful? Too long? I did use quite a few products. I don't usually use that many for the eyes, but I was feeling creative. Plus, it's Fun With Makeup Friday! The colors are very peacock-inspired. I like it.

Well, I hope you have a fantastic day/night, and a great weekend! Talk to you soon.
