Purple Smokey Eye FOTD

I'm going to visit my oral surgeon today to check up on my tumor. And because he'll be poking around my mouth I can't wear lipstick.

So I decided to go ham on my eyes!!!

This is the look i'm going with today!!

Base: I started off with Hard Candy green tinted primer on my cheeks and forehead, then MUFE Mattifying primer on my T zone. I then buffed MUFE Mat Velvet+ foundation all over my face. I then patted a pink tinted sheer concealer to brighten my under eye area. Then I patted Hard Candy Glamoflauge under my eyes. I took a fluffy brush and patted Rimmel Clear skin powder all over my skin. Then I buffed Sephora Brand Matte perfection powder foundation all over. Lastly I spritzed MUFE Mist and Fix all over to lock everything in!

Cheeks: I made a custom cheek colour today! I started with Makeup Geek Romance (Shimmery golden coral) and then I blended Makeup Geek Soulmate ontop! (Matte plummy pink) I lastly took The balms Mary Loumanizer, and I blended that along my cheek bones!!

Here's the difficult part.

Eyes: I started with patting in ELF sheer primer from lashline to brow bone. I then took Tarte Whisper (Matte cream shadow) and set the primer. I took a mauvey lilac shadow from a Sonia kashuk quad, and buffed that through the crease and up onto my hood. I patted Colourpop Stero (Black base with purple glitter) onto my mobile lids, then took Tarte BFF (Matte dark purple) and I blended that out into my crease and used that to blend out any harsh lines!! I wanted it to be super deep and dramatic so I took Coastal Scents Cherry Chocolate (Dark dark brown base with purple shimmer through out) and lightly LIGHTLY blended that trough my outer V. I added mascara to my upper lashes, then falsies, and buffed Tarte BFF on my lower lashline, then added mascara to my lower lashes.

Brows: I ran through my brows with Essence make me brow, and then took Annabelle brow to go dark powder on an angled brush and blended that through my brows adding colour, and sharpening the brow shape. I then re applied another coat of Essence make me brow!

Lips: Just Jack Black Lip balm in Mint!


I hope you all enjoyed this look!! I really like it!!

Plummy Smokey FOTD

Hey all!! I'm supposed to be cleaning and packing right now, But guess who's a lazy bum and is practicing makeup :D

I FINALLY finished building my dream Z pallet, so that post will be coming soon, I'll be taking pictures and swatches of that today!!

But today, I went full out, with a purpley/plummy smokey eye and falsies!!

BACE: I started with a light moisturizer, then SPF 60 sunblock. I let those two sink in, then I took ELF green primer and patted that onto my cheeks and forehead to minimize redness/splotchyness. I then squeezed out a SMALL amount of Makeup Forever Mattifying primer, and I patted that into my forehead, nose, between the brows, my upper lip, smile lines, and chin. Remember, I only squeezed out a pea sized amount, so I used a Small amount all over!! I let the primers sink in, Then I squeezed out a quarter sized amount of Garnier oily skin BB cream onto the back of my hand, then I dotted and spread that out all over my face. Then took a Real Techniques Expert face brush and REALLY buffed the BB cream into my skin. I then was feeling super extra, and took Rimmel clear skin translucent powder and buffed that into my skin, THEN I took a fluffy brush and patted Sephora Matte perfection Powder foundation all over my skin!!

CHEEKS: I went into my Z pallet, and I took makeup Geek Soulmate Blush, which is a matte pinky plum colour. And I really buffed and blended that into my skin to make it look super natural!! I then took  makeup forever ME-512 (a metallic gold shimmer!) and really buffed and blended that into my cheek bones, my nose bridge, and cupids bow. I think these shimmery MUFE shadows are my FAVOURITE for highlighting the face. They blend out like NOTHING, and look so so glowy and lit from within on me!

EYESHADOW: I took ELF sheer eye primer, and I patted that into my eye lids from lashline to brow bone, and let that set for a few. I then took Sephora Brand Swan song (Matte light baby pink) and patted that all over my lids to set the primer! I knew I wanted to do a purple smokey eye based on one shade, so for once I used a transition shade, I took Lancome Strut (Matte light brown) and I lightly blended that up my lids, then I took a bit of Coastal Scents Barista (Warm matte brown) and I buffed that through my crease, but lower than I put the Lancome eye shadow!! I then took Lancome Statuesque (It's hard to describe, but it's a reddish purple matte base, with pink and red sparkles through out the shade!!) which is the eye shadow that inspired this look, and I patted that onto my mobile lids, and blended that upward into my crease. Now's when things get kinda bananas. But I took a Mauvey/light purple MUFE shade, and I patted that onto my inner half of my lid. Then patted MAC Embark onto the outer part of my mobile lid. Which looked super lovey. Until I took a buffing brush and blended everything out. I basically ended up with this dark, purpley, smokey eye!!

LASHES: I took a revlon mascara and super lightly coated my top lashes, then I took a fluffy full pair of lashes, and the Green tube of Duo lash glue, and I just popped the falsies on!!

LIPS: I put on a thick layer of Jack Black Lip balm at the beginning, and then at the end when I was ready to do my lips, i just took Pixie Tinted Brilliance Balm in Bitten Berry, it's a super sheer light berry pink tinted balm!! I wanted all of the focus to be on my eyes so I kept the cheeks and lips subtle!
