Sweet Plums

Valentine’s day is 11 days away, and here’s another Valentine’s day inspired look. I probably won’t wear this on a Valentine’s day, but I just pick colors that I feel is valentine-ish. The look has plums, purple and pink in it. I feel that the colors look better on real life, probably because my camera isn’t picking up the colors since I changed my lights (grrrr)..Hopefully once I’m back home I’ll be able to take better pictures…

Anyhoow, enough of me complaining…This look is more on the smokier side. May be on the next tutorial I’ll post a look that’s more wearable for Valentine’s day.

How-to:

1. I applied Maybelline Color Tattoo in Inked in Pink all over my lid using my ring finger.

2. I used a large eye angled brush and applied a berry-burgundy eyeshadow from Lancome (discontinued) on the outer V and just above the crease. I wanted to add some warmth to the look.

3. I used a blending brush and blended it.

4. Using a flat eyeshadow brush, I applied L’oreal Purple Obsession  Infallible eyeshadow right on the crease (or in my case, where the fold of my eyelid is). It’s ok if some of the shadow fall on the lid area (like mine)

5. Using a clean blending brush, I blended the purple until there’s no harsh line. I used small circular motion to blend the shadow.

6. Using a flat eyeshadow brush, I applied L’oreal Sweet Strawberry Infallible eyeshadow on the inner to the center of the lid using a patting motion.

7. I applied a vanilla eyeshadow on the inner corner, but I think a peachy or champagne highlighter will work better. Oh well.

8. I lined my waterline and lower lashline using Make Up For Ever eyeliner (4L).

9. I applied Galeano eyeshadow from Kat Von D Beethoven palette on the lower lid.

10. I lined my upper lashline using Kat Von D Trooper liquid liner to create a winged liner.

11. I curled my lashes and applied L’oreal Voluminous Carbon Black mascara on both top and bottom lashes.

12. Using MAC Brule, I applied it under the brow bone.

13. I filled my brows using a mix of MAC Omega + MAC Brun using an angled brush.

14. Using a very clean blending brush, I blended the crease a little bit more.

15. On the face, I applied MAC Moisture Cover on NW 15 under my eyes.

16. Then, I applied L’oreal Magic Lumi foundation all over my face using Sigma Kabuki Round brush.

17. I applied MAC Warmth of Coral mineralized blush on the cheeks.

18. For the lips, I filled in my lips using L’oreal Beyond Pink lip liner and applied Revlon Mauve It Over on top of it.

L’oreal Paris Good Luck Charm

Sprained neck is no fun! I could barely move for several days and my shoulder was so sore. Anyways, to cheer myself and put me out of misery I decided to go grab a makeup product (bahahahaha). I bought myself a Maybelline Colour Tattoo in Inked in Pink. I love it!

As you guys know, I received this L’oreal Paris Good Luck Charm eyeshadow from the L’oreal Paris Canada event’s goodie bag. As mentioned, I felt that the pink shadow doesn’t really show up on my skin-tone, so I decided to layer the Maybelline Colour Tattoo Think in Pink underneath L’oreal Good Luck Charm.

I’m usually quite wary about pink eyeshadow since it can make one look sickly, but the gold in the shadow quad makes it workable, usable and wearable.

How-to:

1. I applied Maybelline Inked in Pink all over the eyelid using my ring finger.

2. Using a flat eyeshadow brush, I applied the pink eyeshadow from L’oreal Good Luck Charm quad.

3. Using a blending brush, I applied the light brown eyeshadow from L’oreal Good Luck Charm quad on the crease.

4. Using a small shader brush, I applied the darkest brown eyeshadow from Good Luck Charm quad on the outer corner and on the crease.

5. Using a clean blending brush, I blended the brown eyeshadow to the light brown eyeshadow.

6. Using a clean flat eyeshadow brush, I applied the highlighter color from the quad under my brows.

7. I filled my brows using Anastasia Brow Wiz in Brunette, curled my lashes and applied mascara.

8. For the face, I applied Urban Decay Naked foundation all over my face using a foundation brush.

9. For the cheeks, I applied L’oreal Rose Gold blush using a clean foundation brush.

10. For the lips, I applied L’oreal Colour Riche Caresse Shine Stain Lipcolour in Extremely Nude.
