The Cream SHADOW

I started this look with e.l.f. Halo Glow in light/medium, followed by Believe Beauty foundation in Nude. I used the e.l.f. ultimate blending brush and set that with Dew You Boo setting spray. Nest Frame the face. Here I have used the context brow pomade stick to set and brush the brows. Adding a little fullness to sparse areas was next using the ABH brow pen in Caramel and defining the lower border of the brow with a duck billed pencil in Natural Brown.

Now it was time to jump into contour and bronze. Profusion matt lip liner in Charm is my go to for contouring the nose. I skipped contour for the cheeks and went straight to the ABH cream bronzer in Caramel. Both were blended with the e.l.f. sculpting brush (i love it). I then went in with Avon's fmg glimmer glow up glim up palette. As it happens I over applied thus needing to powder down, so I dusted the entirety of my face with L'oreals Infallible Pro-Glow finishing powder for the demi glow look.

Moving on to the eyes I used V KOSMETIX eye primer. Defined the waterline with Pixie waterline Pencil and the outer 1/3 of the lash line. Now comes THE CREAM shadows.

Using your finger or a flat packing brush cover the mobile lid in Oulac (all 3 from Oulac) No Burden, from the crease up to the brow apply Purity. Then with a very small angled brush graze Melon Sour across the lash line. Mascara: Pat McGrath Dark Star.

And after much ado we get to the lips. Place NYX jumbo eye pencil in black in the center of each lip and blend, line with Lunar Beauty lip pencil in Doodle, and finally Laura Geller Italian Marble lipstick in Berry Banana(applied with a lip brush.

Soft glow with glimmer

This look starts with Glow Recipe STRAWBERRY BHA PORE SMOOTH BLUR DROPS..Allow your primer time to set and let's follow up with Kosas Glow I.V. Vitamin-Infused Skin Enchancer as a first application then topped with the KVD Good Apple Full-Coverage Transfer- Proff Serum Foundation(I applied it by dabbing with a foundation brush). Next let's sculpt. For the nose I like the Profusion matte lip liner in Charm (gently apply and buff out). Just under the high point of the cheeky bone starting at the ear place 3 dots of tarte sculpt tape and blend in short upward strokes. the next item is going to be a bronzer, I used e.l.f. putty bronzer buffing it in around the hair line. Pretend you are making a upside down U , but easy does it. In this particular look I skipped the blush and went straight to lighter, using the IL MAKIAGE MINERAL BAKED HIGHLIGHTER  in Diamonds ( apply with a fan brush for a what is it look).

Let's Let the EYES have it.

I used V. KOSMETIX LID PRIMER, while that sets down , apply a top waterline pencil in black. I used the pixie Eye Define Waterline. next  apply a champagne color to the entire eye. (i used oulac Cream in Purity) Next to th emobile lid apply  a Sky or baby blue to the mobile lid ( i used oulac in No Burden) Use NYX glitter glue to the center of the eye and lightly apply NYX loose glitter. the brows were brushed out and mapped with a soft brown duckbilled pencil.. highlight just at the tail end of the brow and the bottom water.line  with a gel liner i flesh or white. next a black mascara. I used Mile high club from W4NDER BEAUTY

Lastly line the lips without going to the far corners for a fuller looking lips. I used NYX liner in Hot Red and then the NYX Fat oil in missed call.

Oranges not Apples

Primer: Milk HYDRO Grip

Foundation: thread face it complexion stick buffed out with the elf buffing brush because adulting is hard.

Okay Eyeshadow: Beauty Creations Dare to be Bright Bossy palette shade #2 slathered all over the lid, then from the VIOLET VOSS Pretty in Paradise coconut Cream on the mobile lid, and back to the BC palette shade # 11 for the center and crease and #8 for the outer corner and under bottom lashes because why mot.

Mascara:e.l.f. BIG MOOD in Deep Brown and hopefully it wont clump (it didn't)

Natural Classic Look

December 6, 2024

Only 10 products were harmed in the making of this look. First, I primed and primed with the IM No Filter primer and the V Kosmetix eye primer. Then I got my brows in check with the auburn brow powder from Handsiyan and the tarte fake awake. I was a one-trick pony with eyeshadow, using only the Avon Glimmershadow in Fools Gold. Contouring was a lip liner affair, thanks to the ProFusion lip liner in Charm. The IM High point in light was the MVP, serving as bronzer, blush, and highlight. A spritz of Mac Fix + kept everything in place, and the lys speak love lipstick in Sincere sealed the deal.

Stunning

December 11, 2024

I'm seriously impressed with how easy this look was, and I'm loving the result. To begin, I used the original elf poreless putty primer, which kept my foundation and bronzer in place. Then I applied Maybelline Instant Age Rewind Eraser in 190 and blended it out with the elf ultimate blending brush. I defined my brows with NYX precision brow pencil in soft brown and applied L A Colors Color Vibe in Nude all over my lid. I blended the fourth color into and above the crease (for my hooded eyes) and the second-to-last color into the outer corner. I popped the eighth pan into the inner corner, the fifth in the center of the lower lid, and the first from the crease to the brow. (The only issue with this palette is that you need to build it up). To define my brows and lower waterline, I used L A Colors white gel liner, and because of that, I added some lower mascara with elf lash n roll. I applied ABH cream bronzer in Amber with a small round sculpting brush, and I wasn't shy about it. I layered it with a light coral blush for a healthy glow. My lips were painted with IL Makiage Lip Service in Power Play, lined with Avon True Color Glimmersticks lip liner in perfect plum. To finish off my look, I set everything with Mac Fix +.

Dramatic

December 23, 2024

I started this look with Dermacol film studio Prague make-up cover just to dot on the little red spots and applied with a flat pointed concealer brush. Foundation I dotted on the Believe beauty foundation blended with the elf blending brush. Next the ABH contour from the middle ear to 2 fingers width from the mouth, blending out with a soft sculpting brush. I laminated the brows with Lithe UHD Brow Sculpt in clear the drew in some fine lines with the ABH brow pen in Carmel and eyeshadow Langmann creme eyeshadow in #16. Blush IL Makiage Isla Bonita just above the contour from ear to apple then L'oreal true match blush in Spiced Plum mid cheek back to the hairline. I dusted on Milani baked bronzer in Glow all over.

Nest I used the L'Oreal infallible pro-glow setting powder and once again elf setting mist. Lip liner NYX lip liner in Dolly Pink and just a hint of Hourglass Unreal lip gloss in Fever.
