MAKEUP

So I have admittedly gone from Ms. Plain Ole Jane...to Miss love a makeup. Sometimes I take time out and just tamper with different looks and feels to see what works for me. But I'm definitely falling in love with getting glammed up!

I try to go for a made up look that doesn't look OVERLY made up, nothing worse than looking like somebody can take a knife and slice the makeup off your face.


Pictured immediately above is a dramatic eye that I did, don't critique me on it 1st of im not a makeup pro, and 2nd I was really testing the vibrancy of the colour not the technique so forgive me if its not up to par. I used L'OREAL H.I.P. (High Intensity Pigments) eye shadow in "Reckless 514" ( it gives a duo of an eggplant shade and a brighter purple which is what I used in the pic). I also used a tiny bit of an orange shadow from a CoverGirl Eye Enhancers shadow combo (featuring blue, green, organge, yellow-green shades). Definitely not a look for everyday wear but something fun and funky when you're looking for something dramatic. Now, I am not a makeup pro, in fact im soooooooooo far from it. So I give myself kudos, it not good but its not the worse out there lol...I found the vibrancy of the H.I.P. products good on my skintone BUT, this was only after layering it on thick.
Below are photos of the products I used.
