Playing with Color Placement

Hey there friends. Not really sure if I like this one, but I’ll post it anyways, see what everyone thinks.

I’m always impressed when makeup artists are able to pick seemingly random color placements on their eyes and it turns out f*cking fantabulous every single time. So I turned off my brain, grabbed my UD Electric Palette and some Colourpop and MUFE shadows, and got to it.

The eyeliner is definitely my favorite part of this look. I’m planning to replicate it in a simpler, more neutral look so it can really shine, as I do feel it gets a little overpowered by all the colors.

Products used were most of the Urban Decay Electric Palette, a few Make Up For Ever shadows, a tiny bit of Sugarpill, Colourpop SuperShock shadows in Dare, Slave2Pink, Animal, and Ibiza; and the Physicians Formula Eye Booster.

2 in 1 | Alien v. Cobalt Smoky

Hey there friends. In order to maximize the amount of makeup I’m getting out here on the blog (considering how much I do, which is…a lot), I’ll be doing a two-in-one kinda deal where you can, if you wish, pick your favorite of two very different looks. Sooo…here we go 🙂

Our first contestant is a pretty staple Olive look. I used to do that eyeshadow shape a loooot when I was starting makeup because, I dunno, it’s easy and it flatters ma eyeballz. I evidently was not in the mood for winged eyeliner, a rarity.

Our second contestant is the ugly duckling, for certain. She’s a weird alien-esque runway type look. I was thinking along the lines of layering different colors to achieve something strange and tonal. I’m also really into faking depth that I do not have (my eyelids are very…convex). I ran some concealer through my brows and lashes to lighten them, which looks horrible but also I kind of want that to be my brows forever.

And back to this dude. I need to get better at collaging, amirite?

Hugely inspired by @makeupbyursula on the ‘stagrams, I added some pink lipgloss with blue sparkles. It’s..interesting, isn’t it? By the way, I totally do not own a ring light, it’s just my lighted mirror. Works just as well, methinks.

Is this too many pictures? Tell me if this is too many pictures.

She says, as she posts more pictures.   

So which do you prefer? I think mine is pretty obvious considering the number of pictures I shared of it, but ya know, I’m a pretty basic bitch. If you have questions on any products used, I live to serve.

Texture

Hey there friends. It’s quite late and after my 8.5 hour shift at work, I’m in a rather quiet mood, so please enjoy the weird colorful pictures in silence. Or, play “Colours” by Young Liars for some nice themed background music.

     

Thoughts?
