FOTD 6/11

I had the day off so I decided to play in some makeup. It's a green and goldish look inspired by my scarf.


Eyes: UDPP; HIP Crayon in Meticulous; HIP Pigments in Visionary(gold) and Rebel (green). I originally intended to just use Visionary in the inner corner and Rebel on the rest of the lid but didn't like how it looked so I covered the whole lid with Visionary; HIP Duo in Riotous ( the dark side in the outer corner and crease) ; Iman Shadow in Safari (outer corner and crease); Wet-n-Wild Shadow in cream (highlight); Victoria's Secret Liquid Liner in Blackout and NYX Liner in Black

Face & Lips: Bare Minerals Deepest Deep (Concealer); Valana Minerals Foundation in Amber Dream, Blazing Bronzer in Blazing Tan & Cheeky Cheek Pots in Cheeky Orchid; Milani Liner in Black Brown with Ulta Gloss in Shimmer


The verdict is in on the Rimmel Eye Glistners - I hate them. Ok maybe hate is the wrong word. I strongly dislike them. I tried to use them again and had the same problem. They're just too wet for me and I don't like how they make my brushes nasty. Good thing it was buy one get one free and I had a coupon. Off to the makeup graveyard they go which is unfortunate since the colors are so pretty.

Random FOTD

I bought a really cute black dress for the summer and the accessory vision I have for it is gold. So I decided to mess around with some looks plus I wanted to try some of the new stuff I got. This is what I came up with. Overall I like it but I'm not sure about the checks. They seem a tad to rosy my me.





Eyes: UDPP; HIP Shadows in Shady (brown to define my crease), Flamboyant (gold side), Flare (orange side), HIP Cream Crayon in Attentive; Coastal Scents Mineral Shadow in Fawn; Wet-n-Wild shadow in Fine Wink as the highlight; Victoria's Secret Liquid Liner (upper lash line) NYX liner in Black (lower lash line); Cover Girl Lash Blast Mascara


Face; Maybelline Mineral Power Makeup Foundation and Concealer ( the concealer was used under the eyes) in Dark 3; Smashbox Camera Ready Full Coverage Concealer in 8; HIP Vibrant Shimmer Bronzer in Thriving; Revlon Golden Affair Sculpting Blush in Merlot at Midnight



Update:

I used the Coast Scents stippling brush to apply my foundation. Let's just say I will be getting a MAC 187 or the Sephora #44. Yes I like the way it makes my face look but I'm not feeling having to use tweezers to pick the shed hairs off my face. I may use it for applying powders and see how that works. I don't know maybe the foundation is too heavy for it and it would do better with something lighter if that makes sense. Either way I will not be using it to apply foundation.
