Lime Crime Wicked Tutorial

It has been a rough week! How is everyone holding up? My week has been crazy so far, and today I finally have the chance to update my blog! Anyways, don’t forget to follow me on Instagram for daily updates! Anyways, I recently purchased Lime Crime Wicked Velvetine lipstick,  which I’m sure you’d have known from my 2 previous post a go. I absolutely love the color, and I wanted to create another tutorial with it.

Since Wicked is such a strong bold color, I felt that wearing too much on the eyes might take the attention away from it. I decided to play with different texture and finish for this look, what do you guys think? I actually was quite happy with how it turned out. The eyes has a brightening effect without going too overboard with the shine, the face was kept semi-matte, and the lips were the center of attention.

My eyelids were prepped using Urban Decay Primer Potion. My face was prepped using Benefit Porefessional primer.

How-to:

1. I applied Delaney from Kat Von D Monarch Palette all over my eyelid using a flat eyeshadow brush. I brought this color up above my crease but just below the brow bone.

2. Using Real Technique Shading brush, I applied Telepathy from Kat Von D Monarch palette on the inner corner of my eyelids.

3. I applied Delaney along the lower lash line using Real Technique Shading brush.

4. I created a winged liner using Kat Von D Trooper eyeliner along my upper lash line.

5. Using an angled eyebrow brush, I stamped Deadhead from Kat Von D Monarch palette on top of the liquid eyeliner. I did this to create a matte finish since the eyeliner dries slightly shiny.

6. I lined the outer half of my waterline using Revlon Photoready Kajal eyeliner in Carbon Cleopatra (the black end).

7. I filled my brows using Anastasia Brow Wiz in Taupe and Brunette.

8. I curled my lashes and applied Maybelline Volume Express Turbo Boost mascara.

9. I also applied Gwiyomi no. 3 false eyelashes.

Holiday Party Makeup #2

Merry Christmas (eve), everyone! I wanted to do a dark lips look for this Holiday Party Makeup tutorial for a while, but I also included an option to go for a light lips for those who prefer a peachy/nude lips. For the eyes, you can always opt for a simpler look, but I wanted to create some more drama so I ended up using my Too Faced Chocolate Bar palette to create a brown/bronze smoky eyes.

If you noticed, I wore contacts on this tutorial. I might wear it on the next tutorial as well. It’s just for fun, I asked on my Instagram if wearing colored contacts is a yay or nay, surprisingly lots of people said yay. So, I might wear it more often.

Anyways, let’s get on the tutorial! Product list is all the way to the end.

11. I applied Benefit Coralista on my cheeks.

12a. For the lips, I applied MAC Please Me lipstick and L’oreal Pink Resistance Color Riche Carresse.

12b. For the darker lip color, I applied MUFE Aqua lip pencil in 12c.

ps: My photos is somehow a bit more yellow than I expected (on my screen). The lip colors are not as peachy (for the lighter lips), and it’s slightly more plum for the darker lips.
