LIME CRIME VENUS PALETTE PART II [#LOTD]

Image
As a follow-up post from my Lime Crime Venus palette review , below are 2 looks that I've created. Colors used: Divine, Rebirth, Shell & Aura  - Using my Zoeva 225 brush, pick up Divine and in a swiping motion apply it on the sockets of your eyes (above your crease). - Gently pat Shell using an eyeshadow brush onto the entire eyelid. - With my Zoeva 230 pencil brush, apply Rebirth on the outerV of my eye. - Using Aura as a highlight color, apply in the inner corners of the eyes and at the center of the eyelids.  - Draw your cat eye and wing it!  - Apply mascara or false lashes for extra glam.   Lip color: Laura Mercier Velour Lovers in Infatuation & Tarteist lip paint in So Fetch. TIP: Avoid using Rebirth above the crease if your goal is to look as natural as possible. A bright crease color may give you the effects of puffy eyes.  Colors used: Creation, Divine, Icon (3ce one ...

A quick guide to liquid lipsticks

Before liquid lipsticks start hitting drugstores this year, let's take a look at some brands that are in the market now. Dose of Colors, Berry Me - $37  Berry Me is the perfect deep purple shade that I've been dreaming all about last season. The formula is a little drying but there's nothing a base layer of Mentholatum lip ice or Vaseline can't fix.

I feel that to wear a product that is so creamy in texture and pigmented, it has to have an applicator that gives precision in filling in your lips. The lack of precision leaves absolutely no room for mistakes if you mess up on your first attempt. Packaging wise is up to my satisfaction. The frosted hard plastic tube may be nothing too over the top and it doesn't look like a drugstore makeup.  Well, it's a 2/5 because I expected them to perform better as the price range is on the higher ...

Decked in a cold shoulder mossy green skater dress, I was inspired by the color palettes of Fall but retaining elements from the Summer that I guarantee that you wouldn't melt in this humid climate. Switched up my usual make up palette for the Urban Decay Smoky palette for some dark smoky eyes and paired it with a dark red lip to complete the look. If you're not that adventurous to go for the dark vampy red lips, you can still use a bright red lipstick but add the vampy red color at the inner corners of your lips to create the ombre effect (which you can see in my Halloween look below). Also, if you realized I've given this blog a face-lift! Not exactly great with codes so I cleaned up and made it simple, I hope you're liking the new theme. Here's a bonus of my Halloween look (which I never got the time to blog it) I'm two days overdue but this is my Halloween look which was inspired by Lady Gaga's role as The Countess on American Horror...
