Cotton Candy

Hello Everyone!

I hope you are doing well :-)

For this week's makeup look I wanted to play with some pastel colors I received from My Beauty Addiction.  I enjoy playing with their shadows as I have always found them to be well pigmented and easy to use.  My inspiration came from the light, airy, fat-free carnival goodness that is COTTON CANDY!

This was just a fun "color wash" idea that is easy, fresh, and whimsical.:-)

I hope you like it!






 EYES:

♥ UDPP
♥ My Beauty Addiction Aquadise shadow to lid
♥ My Beauty Addiction St. Paddy to outer corner
♥ My Beauty Addiction Cupcake to crease and blended out towards brow bone
♥ My Beauty Addiction Orchid to lower lash line
♥ Nyx Jumbo Pencil in Milk to waterline
♥ Black mascara, eyeliner
♥ Red Cherry Lashes in 138's

BLUSH:

♥ E.L.F. Tickled Pink powder blush

LIPS

♥ Nyx Round Lip Gloss in Pinky Natural


 Oh yeah!!  I am wearing a giant pair of circle lenses that I got from LensVillage.com! I don't recall which ones I'm wearing (sorry!) but they have a great variety to choose from :-)  I've always had great experiences with Lens Village, and the lenses are super comfy.

Thank you so much for stopping by!! It truly means the world to me :-)

I hope you have a great week!

xoxo,
Colleen

    Ooooh, so pretty. I love the innocence of the colors in this look...super soft and gentle. You look like a princess, in all the good ways. I need to try these shadows out!

    Adorable! The colors are indeed whimsical and very pretty! I love the way the white waterline looks on you, very cute! Rosy cheeks and a nude lip tie the look together perfectly. Nicely done!
