Runway looks are a little out of my norm, so it's even more of an excuse to give it a go and have some fun!
Getting out of my comfort zone is an excellent opportunity to flex underused muscles! I hope you like it!
After I completed my foundation and brows:
♥ Nyx Jumpo Pencil in Pacific to stencil out lid shape.
♥ Velocity shadow from my Sugarpill Heartbreaker Palette applied to lid :-)
♥ Then I added some mascara, delicate lashes (Ardell 120's), and black liquid eyeliner.
♥ Nyx Jumbo Pencil in Milk to waterline, and then dusted on Sugarpill Tako shadow to set it.
♥ Then added a tiny circle under my iris in Velocity. Voila!
The rest of the look just called for contouring of the cheekbones, and barely if any lip product. I just used E.L.F lip stain in Nude Nectar.
I wanted super sleek hair to match the runway look as best as I could. Living in Arizona in the middle of monsoon season, that is absolutely impossible!! My frizz cannot be tamed! However, I was recently sent the most amazing hair straightener from SFRBeauty.com, I couldn't wait to use it for this!
SFRbeauty.com is an online beauty company based out of San Francisco, California. They offer a wide range of beauty products ranging from skincare, cosmetics, body and haircare to customers worldwide. They have an extensive site that is very user friendly :-)
Check out this straightener!
This particular model is the Cortex Platinum Black series. It features tourmaline, ceramic, ionic plates, adjustable heat, on/off switch, and the outer texture is a powdery soft feel so it glides easily through your hair without getting caught. I've used this to create curls, waves, and flips- and it's effortless. The results are amazing. This is my new favorite styling tool.
Thank you again for visiting my blog :-) This week's look is a bit outside of the box for me, but I love how it turned out. Hope you like it, too. Don't be afraid to take risks with your makeup. Sometimes we can create amazing things when we least expect it!
xoxo,
Colleen & Ivy
