FOTD: Christmas in the Asylum

The ladies of EyeGraffiti were curious to see how Sugarpill's loose eyeshadow in Asylum would look against my black hair.  The fact that the product is loose and that it's a red color is a double whammy in terms of difficulty.  Take those factors and throw in the fact that I had to use it so that I could wear this look to work.  Oh boy.

In the light of the holiday season, I decided to make it Christmas theme, but with Asylum as the dominant colors.  Here's what I came up with:

So much for work friendly makeup. Haha.

Face:
-Eve Pearl Priming Moisturizer
-Smashbox Foundation in Light 3
-L'oreal Trumatch Foundation in N6
-Laura Mercier Setting Powder
-NARS Bronzer in Laguna
-NARS Multiple in Copacabana
-Tarte Blush in Amused

Eyes:
-UDPP
-Benefit Creaseless Cream Shadow/Liner in Plum-ing for Gold (LE)
-NYX JEB in Pots and Pans, Rocky Mountain Green
-Sugarpill loose shadows in Asylum, Tiara
-Too Faced e/s in Wicked Green
-Stila e/s in Black Cat
-Milani Liquifeye Pencil in Black
-L'oreal Lineur Intense Liquid Liner
-L'oreal Extra Collagen Mascara

Lips:
-Buxom Lipgloss

FOTD: Fashion Smoke

I like it bright and I like it bold.  Here is a look from Saturday using the old Too Faced Smokey Eye Palette which you can still purchase here.

This was actually quite simple to do, seeing how the colors were meant to be put together for a look.  I started out with a primer and a base, then slapped the emerald color onto my lids.  I gently blended the midnight blue into the crease, and used a soft brown as a transition color.  I highlighted my browbone with a matte cream color, and highlighted the inner corner of my eyes with a sparkly champagne color. Rimmed and lined my eyes with black eyeliner, swiped on some mascara, and bam! :)

Face:
-Eve Pearl Priming Moisturizer
-Bobbi Brown Creamy Concealer in Ivory
-Smashbox Foundation in Light 3
-Laura Mercier Setting Powder
-NYC Matte Bronzer in Sunny
-NARS blush in Oasis
-MAC MSF in Crystal Pink

Eyes:
-UDPP
-NYX JEB in Rocky Mountain Green & Cottage Cheese
-Too Faced Smokey Eye Collection (old version)
-Lancome e/s in After Dusk
-Stila eyeliner in Stingray
-UD 24/7 Liner in Zero
-L'oreal Extra Collagen Mascara

Lips:
-Rimmel l/s in Airy Fairy
-Buxom lipgloss (name unknown)

I think some lashes would have been nice with this look, but I slapped it on before work and I was running late.  Eeps! Next time!

Hope you guys are not too burnt out from Black Friday/Cyber Monday shopping!  Take care, everyone!

Playing around with Sugarpill & Falsies

I had a long day yesterday, and I'll have many more to come due to finals, final papers, and so forth.  Still, I squashed in some time yesterday to play with makeup.  This was much needed.  I've been dying to use my Sugarpill pigments that I got back in February when they last had their 20% off sale.  I will absolutely be doing a full review on those once I have played with them some more, because I am in LOVE with the pigments and for sure be buying every single color next time they have a sale and when I start getting paid.

Here's the look:

Yeah, so just don't mind the chunks of dried lash glue everywhere.  It was my second time putting on falsies and I got a little glue happy.  I actually pulled a few of my eyelashes out when removing the lashes. Ouch.

BUT--This look was so much fun to create!  I was in desperate need of some color and drama, since my everyday looks are a little bit toned down for my taste.  If I had the time and the confidence, I'd wear looks like this everyday.  I have craploads of lashes that I bought from ebay that I'm not using because they're bit, fat, and intimidating as hell.  The ones used here are from Duo, and they are the most tame pair of lashes that I have.  I can't wait to play with the other ones some more, now that I have kinda sorta gotten used to them. Yay yay yay!

There are definitely a few things I would have done differently now that I look back at the look.  I would have used Magpie wet, so that it would show up better on the lid (in photos anyway).  Maybe I should have chosen a different inner corner highlight, or brought the lid color a little further in.  In any case, I look forward to doing a lot more looks like these.

Face: 
-Smashbox Foundation in Light 3
-L'oreal TruMatch Foundation in N6
