Inglot Teal, Green and Blue

Hello!

This is one of those looks that just wouldn't photograph well.  I quite like it in person, and I dcided to share anyway.

I used

Face
Estee Lauder Double Wear Light
NYX Terracotta Blush (applied sparingly as this can overpower on light skin) This is a bronzey apricot that really warms up the face
NYX Extreme Lip Cream in Pinky Nude (so not a nude shade!!)

Eyes
NYX White eyeshadow base
NYX Barely There on the inner corners
Inglot DS 477 Bright Lime Green next on lid
Inglot DS 504 Teal next
Inglot DS 483 Navy blue to deepen outer corners
All colors repeated on lower lashline
Physcian Formula liquid liner
Cheapie Ebay Falsies

Thanks for looking!  

MAC Patina Simple Eye

Hello

MAC Patina is described as a taupe brown with golden pearl.  It is a lovely and very subtle color but has such depth that can really hold its own for a beautiful simple eye look.  Today I swiped Patina all over the lid and used just a bit of of embark to deepen the outer corners.


NYX Golden Bronze is similar but is a bit deeper and more olive.

NYX Antique Gold is closer but a bit more yellow gold.

I think either would work beautifully in a similar look.  In fact I have done an Antique Gold look here:

Antique Gold

Today's Look:

Eyes
MAC Paintery all over lid space as base
MAC Patina patted all over lid and blended up into crease
MAC Embark lightly on outer edges of eyes and blended out to soften
Ben Nye Toast on brow bone
Physicians Formula liquid liner
Some cheapie green liner on waterline which isn't showing up too well
Benefit Bad Girl Mascara- don't think I like this as my lashes look non existent in these shots... or perhaps I just grew too used to wearing falsies and now feel inadequate without them lol


Face
Illamasqua Skin Base 3.5- purchased this initially on 4.5 but not sure about the color.  They gave me a sample of 3.5 to compare at Sephora and I think I like this better.  4.5 seems lighter and washed me out a bit.
MAC Warm Soul Blush
NYX Taupe to contour

No lipstick but I desperately need some in the full face pic

And... because I got bored... I added some DS 477 from Inglot and UD Graffiti onto the lower lashline and waterline atop the green liner

Naked Palettes!

Hello!!

Another look today using both Naked Palettes.  I love the matte browns in the first naked palette and am a huge fan of some of the shiny shades in the second palette.

I used:

Face
Colorstay Whipped Foundation- Buff
NYX Taupe for contour
MAC Warm Soul Blush
Lips are NYX Extreme lip Cream in Nude Peach Fuzz

Eyes
MAC Painterly PP for base
UD Naked in crease
UD Buck to deepen crease
UD Blackout to deepen crease some more
UD Verve inner corners
UD Pistol rest of lid
UD Suspect smudged on top of Pistol
UD Foxy on brow
MAC Vanilla Pigment to highlight tear duct area
UD Buck on lower lash line
Physicians Formula liquid liner

Hello to anyone who might still be following :)

Ugh

I can't believe I have not posted in this long!  I still love makeup, but life is just crazy.  I have moved homes, been working crazy hours and all while taking care of my gorgeous little toddler.  Life is good! Well here is an eye look I created today, first time in forever that I have used color.  I have been loving neutrals lately- specifically warm and smokey browns!  This is a look which shows just how much I can't wait for the weather to be warm again!!

I used:
Eyes:
NYX White eyeshadow base
MAC Vanilla all over lid- to ensure easy blending
MUFE #92- in crease
MUG Unexpected to blend out that crazy purple
MAC Vanilla on brow bone
Inglot- not sure of the # as it is stuck in my palette- it is a DS that is a very light peachy pink- on inner most corners of lid
NYX Dolly Pink next to the inglot
NYX Hot Pink next t that
MAC Passionate to blend into outer corners between the purple and the other pink
Black Liquid Liner
Black Mascara
Some cheapie Falsies from Ebay

Face:
Illamasqua Skin Base
NYX Taupe to contour

My Poor Neglected Blog! Finally a FOTD!

Oh my....
It has been a very long time!  So very much has been going on with work, family life etc. that  I have been neglecting my hoard-like stash of makeup and sticking to the same boring look day after day.  Well, my love of makeup has returned (though it had never truly left) and I would like to share a pretty look of the day that I wore on my birthday when I made my first trip to the Inglot store in Chelsea.  I had a fantastic day and was thouroughly impressed with the customer service and shopping experience as a whole.  The Inglot in Chelsea is on the 5th floor of the Chelsea Market, sort of hidden away from everything else.  So hidden away in fact, that I was the only customer shopping there!  I was able to really take my time and put together a palette of shadows that I can't wait to play around with.  I also picked up Duraline which I have been using with my Ben Nye cake liner and so far it is working out splendidly.

Here is the LOTD:

Eyes:
UDPP
Inglot- DS 467 Inner corners (peachy off white with some fine sparkle)
Pure Luxe- Supernova on outer 2/3 of lid (warm pink with ridiculous amounts of golden glitter)
Wet n Wild Lust Palette- Lighter Matte purple outer V, with Darker matte Purple to deepen outer V and along lower lashline
MAC Soba to blend out and contour crease (satin finish light golden brown)
MAC Brule on browbone
Prestige waterproof liner in black on waterlines and smudged lightly on lower lashline
Jordana liquid liner- black on upper lashline
ELF falsies

Cheeks are Inglot # 29 (coraly pink matte) applied lightly with NYX Taupe for contour

Lips are Victorias Secret Heartbreaker (the perfect creamy matte peachy pink LOVE)

Some Brightness

Still loving my Inglot!!  Here is a brighter look using some of these awesome shadows.  I've realized that lately I have been pretty neutral in my color choices but since my inglot haul, I've been inspired to go a little brighter.

Eyes:
UDPP
NYX Jumbo Pencil- Milk- loghtly applied
Inglot ds 477 (bright light yellow green with some sparkle) patted all over lid
Inglot DS 504 (beautiful teal with sparkle) patted on outer edge of lid and outer V, into crease
Inglot DS 483 (navy blue) to deepen V and crease and along lower lashline
NYX Barely There (off white with gold shimmer) inner corners
Inglot DS 467 (peachy off white) on brow bone with some matte off white dusted on top
Ben Nye Cake liner Black upper lash line

Lips are Buxom Nantucket (LOVE) with NYX gloss in Natural

Cheeks are NYX Peach
