Πότε ήταν η τελευταία φορά που πήρατε ένα makeover;

Χαμόγελο! απλά ένα γρήγορο πλάνο της θερμοκρασίας MAC αυξάνεται μακιγιάζ που φοράω σήμερα
Πότε ήταν η τελευταία φορά που πήρατε ένα makeover;

Είχα τρεις δύο Φεβρουάριος. Το πρώτο ήταν στο Sephora για την Ημέρα του Αγίου Βαλεντίνου και το δεύτερο για μια Bobbi Brown Master Class στο Saks. Και οι δύο ήταν πολλοί διασκέδαση, και έμαθα τόσο πολύ και άφησα ευτυχισμένη.

ΔΙΑΦΗΜΙΣΗ

Το πιο πρόσφατο makeover μου ήταν περίπου πριν από περίπου δύο εβδομάδες σε ένα όμορφο κόμμα Nordstrom.

Το gal που έκανε το μακιγιάζ μου ήταν γλυκό, αλλά δεν ήμουν τρελός για την τελική εμφάνιση. Νομίζω ότι είχαμε μόνο πολύ διαφορετικά στυλ.

Το ίδρυμα ήταν μερικές αποχρώσεις πάρα πολύ το φως και λίγο πολύ μπεζ (έτσι το δέρμα μου φαινόταν γκρι) και στη συνέχεια τοποθετήθηκε παντού με μια ιριδίζουσα σπινθήρα σκόνη (γεια, πόρος). Έχει επίσης παραλείψει την πλήρωση στα φρύδια μου και εφαρμόζοντας το Concealer κάτω από τα μάτια, δύο πράγματα που κάνω πάντα πριν φύγω από το σπίτι, ακόμα κι αν βγαίνω μπροστά για να πάρω το ταχυδρομείο.

ΔΙΑΦΗΜΙΣΗ

Στη φωτεινή πλευρά, ήταν μια μαθησιακή εμπειρία. Την επόμενη φορά που θα πάω για ένα makeover, σχεδιάζω να φέρει επιπλέον καθαρισμούς μαντηλάκια και μια τσάντα έκτακτης ανάγκης μακιγιάζ μόνο σε περίπτωση που δεν αποδείξει τον τρόπο που ελπίζω ότι το κάνει.

Πότε ήταν η τελευταία φορά που πήρατε ένα makeover; Σου άρεσε? Πώς αποδείχθηκε;

wearing the Marc Jacobs appeal The Showstopper set on my eyes and lips
Aaaaand, STOP!

As in The Showstopper Set, by Marc Jacobs Beauty.

ΔΙΑΦΗΜΙΣΗ

Super quick pics and swatches here. I had to jam through these and only had 10 minutes to jot down some thoughts before heading out to meet my family for my mom’s bday celebration, so if this seems kind of rushed…it was!

Συγνώμη. but Tabs was kind enough to give me the evening off, and I’m not passing that up.

So, what is The Showstopper?

Well, I’m delighted you asked! It’s Marc’s six-piece limited edition holiday set — $135 (listed as a $216 value) — and it comes with makeup for eyes and lips, a makeup bag, a mirror and a tiny bee-sized bottle of Marc’s Honey perfume.

Πρώτες εντυπώσεις

The lipgloss: I like. It’s my favorite thing in the set. It has a medium-weight, non-drying formula — slightly sticky, but still comfortable — and it’s neither scented nor flavored. 

Color-wise, it reminds me of MAC Lychee Luxe Lipglass (here’s my review from way back in 2010), and it’s sheerer than it looks in this swatch. As far as wear time, we’re talkin’ 3-4 hours.

Now, the liquid liner gave me some trouble. I like the color — it’s a true black without any blue undertones — and shine, but I find the felt idea pen tough to control (the edges of my lines are jagged).

The mascara holds its own with good length, separation and color (also true black); curl hold isn’t bad at all, and I don’t see any clumps, flaking or smudging. I think the sweet spot’s around one or two coats. any a lot more than that, and my lashes start sticking together.

Lastly, the eyeshadows, and the first word that pertains to mind is “SHINE!” just like that, in all caps.

I like ’em. Today I patted them on with a flat eyeshadow brush, but I wasn’t too crazy about the shadows when I buffed them out or applied them with a fluffy brush. With a fluffy (brush, haha!), I thought they were hard to blend and buff out, and I did observe some fallout.

This set used to be available on the Sephora website, but wouldn’t ya know it? I’m not seeing it there now. You might want to check in stores if you’re interested. I did spot it online at a shop called CosPro on amazon.com, but I’ve never purchased anything from them before. Amazon has a pretty good return policy, but I don’t know specifically about this store (like the universe, it’s a mystery…).

Everything I’m using on my eyes, cheeks as well as lips in these looks comes from Target, so it didn’t expense an arm as well as a leg.

Your beauty assignment today: nothing! as well as you will not be graded.

We only have one goal here: no fear! απλά διασκέδασε.

Purple, Teal as well as Fuchsia

A look featuring purple lids, with shimmering teal on your lower lash lines, bronze cheeks as well as hot pink lips. This one’s for fearless felines unafraid of color. In other words, you.

Begin by applying a shimmery beige cream shadow, like Maybelline color Tattoo 24HR metal in barely top quality ($6), around your lids as well as along your lower lash lines.

Next, sweep a matte brown eye shadow in a shade close to your natural skin tone into your crease. I ended up mixing two shades from the Sonia Kashuk Eye on Neutral combination ($20) to produce a custom color (just for the heck of it).

Then, sweep a shimmery coral shadow just above your matte brown. If you’re stuck for ideas, try Pacifica’s Coral Sand from the company’s new enlighten Eye Brightening shadow combination ($12). I’m lovin’ it so far.

Pat a dark black matte shadow, like the black matte from Sonia Kashuk’s Eye on Neutral Palette, into the outer corners of your eyes, as well as then blend away any type of harsh lines you see.

Blend a gray matte shadow directly on top of that to produce a soft gradient of color by dragging the gray into the middle of your lids. I utilized Sonia Kashuk’s Eye on Neutral combination once again here.

Now, wet a flat eye shadow clean with water or a makeup setting spray, as well as utilize it to pat a bright purple shadow in the center as well as at the inside of your lids (the side better to your nose). aim for blending the purple into the black as well as gray gradient from the previous two steps. I utilized Urchin, the purple shade from the Pacifica enlighten combination in step 3.

Next, line your upper lash lines with a black gel liner, like L’Oreal’s Infallible Gel Lacquer liner in Blackest Black ($7).

Then line your lower water lines with a vibrant teal blue pencil, like Pixi No. 6 true Teal endless Silky Eye Pen ($15).

To intensify the effect, sweep a bright teal shadow along your lower lash lines. I like L’Oreal’s 24HR Infallible Eye shadow in endless Sea ($7) for this…

Lift your brows a bit by drawing a line beneath them utilizing a flesh-toned matte liner like Rimmel’s detraction Eyes water resistant Kohl Kajal in 005 nude ($5), as well as blend.

Buff a beige shadow just beneath the arch of each brow to appear to lift them even more. I selected Skinnydip, a shimmery beige from the Pacifica enlighten shadow Palette.

Finish your eyes with a couple coats of black mascara. I’m utilizing COVERGIRL LashBlast Clump Crusher Mascara ($7) here.

Now for your cheeks as well as lips! blend a shimmery bronze blush, like Bronzed from Pacifica’s Radiant Shimmer Coconut Multiples combination ($12), on the apples of your cheeks, as well as tie a ribbon around the entire look with a bright fuchsia gloss like Physicians’ formula attractive Booster attractive glow glossy discolor in hot Pink ($9).

Cat woman states “meow!” to these white feline eye sunglasses, which are only $12 at Target
Blue, Teal as well as Pink

Mermaid eyes! A blue as well as teal gradient will dance across your lids like dolphins dancing across a gorgeous blue lagoon, while coral as well as pink serenade your cheeks as well as lips.

Begin by blending a shimmery peachy pink cream shadow like Pixi lid Last shadow Pen in shell Sheen ($18) around your lids.

Next, darken the outer corners of your lids with a matte black shadow pencil. I utilized Rimmel’s detraction Eyes Eye shadow Stick in Blackmail ($5) here.

Deepen your outer corners by patting a black eye shadow, like the black shade from Maybelline’s Eye studio combination in Sapphire Siren, directly on top of the black shadow pencil.

Pat a shimmery blue in the center of your lids as well as at the inner corners, as well as then drag a little amount of it into your crease to link the two areas.

Then, producing a gradient with the blue from step 4, pat a shimmery bright teal in the center of your lids. I utilized a teal from Maybelline’s Sapphire siren Palette.

Soften the edges of the blue as well as teal on your lids by sweeping a matte brown shadow, like the lid shade from the ELF gorgeous Browns perfect Eyeshadow quad ($2), into your crease.

Now, provide your brows a lift by lining the arches with a flesh-toned matte liner like Rimmel detraction Eyes water resistant Kohl Kajal in 005 nude ($5), as well as blend.

Dust a beige on top of that, like the pearly base shade from ELF gorgeous Browns.

Line your water lines with a black liner (can’t go wrong with L’Oreal’s $7 Voluminous Smoldering eyeliner in Black, a true black without any type of blue or eco-friendly undertones), as well as provide it some depth by lining the outer third of your lower lash lines with the exact same pencil.

Line your lower lash lines with the exact same shimmery blue shadow you utilized on your lids (layering it directly on top of the black liner from the previous step).

Make your eyes the focal point of the look by lining the inner corners along your lower lash lines with the teal shadow you utilized a moment back on your lids.

Coat your upper as well as lower lashes with a great black mascara like COVERGIRL LashBlast Clump Crusher Mascara ($7).

Now, get cheeky by blending a bronzer just below your cheekbones for definition, as well as then buff a coral blush on the apples of each cheek for color. I utilized Sonia Kashuk’s stylish Luminosity Bronzer/Blush Duo in Glisten ($13).

At this stage, I was going to say, “Don’t gloss over your lips,” however that’s precisely what we want. Slick a pink gloss like Sonia Kashuk’s Ultra Luxe Lip Gloss Prettiest Pink ($9) on your lips to wrap things up.

Mint eco-friendly glasses! These are the Gelato sun glasses in Mint ($12), offered now at Target stores as well as target.com

Coral as well as Gold

Still building your guts with bright color? I get it. You can dip your toe in with this gold eye look featuring coral cheeks as well as lips.

Start by patting a shimmery beige eye shadow, like the shimmery beige from Maybelline’s Eye studio combination in provide Me Gold ($7), around your lids as a base.

Next, pat a shimmery gold eye shadow, like the gold shade from the provide Me Gold palette, on the inner halves of your lids.

Sweep a shimmery bronze eye shadow into your crease as well as the outer corners. I utilized the shimmery bronze from provide Me Gold for this.

Using the exact same liner to line your lower water lines, line your upper lash lines in a feline eye shape with a brown gel liner like L’Oreal’s Lacquer liner in Bronze ($7).

Soften your feline eye liner look by layering a shimmery brown liner directly on top of the brown gel liner along your upper lash lines. I reached for the provide Me Gold combination once again as well as utilized the dark brown.

Apply one or two coats of black mascara, like COVERGIRL LashBlast Clump Crusher Mascara ($7), on your upper as well as lower lashes.

Give your skin some warmth by sweeping a bronzer just below your cheekbones. I utilized Physicians’ formula Bronze Booster in Light to medium ($15).

Finish the look by blending a multipurpose coral cream product on your cheeks as well as lips. I like the coral shade from Sonia Kashuk’s Lip & Cheek combination ($14.99).

Xhilaration Heart sun glasses ($12) from Target.
