FOTD: Royal Sugar Dollipops

My brain is slightly fried but I'm determined to get this post up because this is one of my favorite looks that I've done in a long time and I really want to share it with y'all.

One of my former classmates recruited me to do makeup for a photoshoot of hers to promote her business.  Part of her business was promoting local artists, such as myself.  I was told I would be interviewed and filmed so I wanted to do something a little special with my makeup.  I love love love my brights so I had to pull out some Sugarpill eyeshadows.





Face:
-Smashbox Photofinish Face Primer
-Lancome Teint Idole Ultra Foundation in Bisque 4
-Laura Mercier Pressed Setting Powder
-NARS Laguna Bronzer
-Sleek Blusher in Pixie Pink
-Eve Pearl Dual HD Foundation in Light

Eyes:
-MAC Painterly Paintpot
-MAC eyeshadow in Night Manouvres
-Fyrinnae Pixie Epoxy
-Sugarpill Chromalust shadow in Royal Sugar
-Sugarpill pressed shadows in Bulletproof and Dollipop
-Micabella eyeshadow in Sunshine
-Too Faced eyeshadow in Heaven
-Urban Decay 24/7 Liner in Zero
-Inglot Gel Liner 77
-Cover Girl Waterproof Lashblast Volume Mascara
-Duo Lashes

Everytime I wear Royal Sugar, I get tons of compliments on how gorgeous the blue is.  I guess I better bust it out more often, eh?  What about you guys? How often do you Sugarpill lovers bust out them brights?

FOTD: Using Yellow...

I was perusing through today's Youtube subscriptions, and watched a tutorial by eyexluvxmakeup which featured a very bright look using mostly Sugarpill cosmetics.  I decided to have a go at recreating the look, and when I looked back, I obviously had not paid close enough attention.  Also, this is my first time doing a look like this as you will probably be able to tell when you have a look at the placement of the matte yellow eyeshadow on my lids.  I didn't have a matte pink so I tried using a shimmery one, and it's just not the same.  Pooey.  Also, being the noobsauce I am, I have a difficult time making the makeup identical on both eyes especially since my right eye is slightly smaller than my left.













I JUST noticed how sexy and prominent the bags under my eyes were.  I decided to put some extra time into concealing which I rarely do and you can still see them bursting out.  I had five hours of sleep the night before trying to finish up a paper, and i don't do well with less than 8 hours of sleep.

May I also add that I am EXTREMELY disappointed in Sugarpill's Poison Plum?  I'm hearing so many people rave about how they wish they had purchased it before purchasing MUFE #92 eyeshadow and that just had to be bull, because I swatched #92 at Sephora and that stuff was so pigmented that it stained my skin.  Poison Plum is a whole different story....

No Flash 
With flash and technical difficulties.
On the left you see Poison Plum.  On the right you see the Inglot e/s I ended up using.  I had to swirl my finger a few times in Poison Plum to get that swatch.

Back the the topic of bright makeup, everyone seems to be sporting it nowadays for the sake of spring.  I live in California so I'm not really rushing to get to Spring because it's been pretty sunny up here.  Thoughts?  I'd love to hear them =)

Thanks for stopping by!
