Flower Power 2.0

Hello Makeup Friends,

I know it has been a while since I have posted a look, but today I bring you this fun look for summer! A while back I did a look called Flower Power that became one of the favorite looks on the blog. Recently, I kept getting requests to revisit the look, and so here it is! I used a different color combo to change it up, so I would not call this an exact replica of the look, just a new interpretation of it. Read on for products used and tips:

Natural Light:

For the eyes and cheeks, I used my beloved Kryolan Viva Brilliant Color Palette :

I know this is a pro product that is not easy to purchase, but you can use any of the 88 or 120  Coastal Scents palettes .

For the face I used my Eve Pearl foundation that I constantly rave about, but folks, no matter what I try, I always come back to it! The lips were kept pretty natural, I used chap-stick and a tiny bit of clear gloss on the center.

Now for the tips:

• When it comes to bright and colorful looks like this, it's best to just focus on one feature (in this case the eyes,) and keep the rest of the face simple. 
• Use colors that make you look and feel prettier! For a simpler version, use your 2 favorite bright colors and line the top lid with one and the bottom with another.
• Don't over blend! I know i'm always saying blend, blend, blend, but in this case you can't blend too much or you lose the definition of the different colors.
• Lastly, Have fun and don't be afraid of color! Remember makeup can be wiped off at the end of the day. :)

Thank you to my photographer friend from MiguePhoto for taking these quick shots :)

As requested by blog reader Glamorosa, here is an easy daytime pinup look. This makeup looks great and is very in for Spring and it does not have to be reserved for special events like the more dramatic looks. It's an electric blue liner, paired with a vibrant red lip. This look is very simple to achieve, just follow my instructions for the Pinup look, but use a bright liner instead and skip the lashes. Read on for Products used.

Silver, Plum, and Gray look

I created this look using mostly NYX products. I love the NYX brand, it is inexpensive and the quality is comparable to the more expensive brands. I highly recommend it. All of the products used from NYX were less than $6 each. You can't beat that price and such good quality!
Scroll to the end to read my instructions so that you can try this look at home

Instructions:

1. Apply a silver eye shadow ( I used MAC silver ring) to the inner corners of the eyes going all the way to the middle of the lid.

2. Using a flat synthetic brush apply a plum grayish eye shadow to the other half of the lid blending it in to the silver. (I used the NYX chrome pigment in the color Beanie.)

3. Using a crease brush apply a gray matte eye shadow along the crease of the eye. (I used NYX Slate.)

4. Apply a dark deep plum eye shadow to the outer corner of the crease creating a V shape. (I used NYX Beauty Queen.)

5. Line your upper lash line with an eggplant colored pencil (In this case i used Urban Decay 24/7 pencil in the shade Rockstar.)

6. Line your waterline with a black eyeliner.

7. Using a glitter liquid eyeliner look up and line the bottom of your lower lash line making sure to extend it upwards at the outer corner to create a winged eye. (I used the NYX Glitter liner in the shade Disco Queen.)

Apply mascara and you are ready to go!

For the lips I used the NYX lipstick strawberry milk with Benefit Kiss Me lip gloss on top.

I hope you have fun trying on your own version of this look.

Glam Look- 1950s Classic Look

This is one of my go to looks for special occasions. I love 1950's style makeup. The winged eye paired with red Lips is something that never goes out of style. 

Yes, you too can wear red lipstick! Everyone can, you just need to find the right shade for you. 

I custom made this shade using my Makeup Forever Flash Color Case. I mixed several shades together with the bright red in order to create a color that would compliment my skin tone.

For those of you trying this look at home, you can just purchase a few different inexpensive red lipsticks and mix them together until you find a shade that makes your skin stand out. It's all about trial and error.

Tips:

I like to start by exfoliating my lips. How? Apply a thick lip balm and scrub your lips with a moistened washcloth.

Then I like to apply a red lip stain, in this case i used Lorac Sheer Wash in the shade Sheer Luck. This assures you that even if your lipstick fades, your lips will remain red.

I then follow up by fully lining my lips with a red lip liner. (Note: This is the only instance were you actually want to wear a dark lip liner, any other time, just stick with a flesh tone lip liner.)

Go on an fill in your lips with you customized color, then blot and reapply.

Apply a sheer lip gloss to just the center of your mouth to make you lips appear larger.

When wearing bright red lipstick, try to avoid wearing any bright shades on your eyes. You do not want your makeup to clash or look clownish.

Have fun!

All the makeup was done with airbrush and some Pigments.The fake lashes are the Ardell Hotties, they really enhance the look. As always, no retouching, just makeup. ;)
