For this week's makeup look I wanted to do something glam, bold, and relatively easy to do :-)
Hey, I realize that not all my readers have a lot of time to glam up, or may not be comfortable with contouring, blending, WHATEVER.
We all have different skill levels when it comes to makeup, so I say whatever works for you is best!
Also, I wanted to play with my favorite indie brand of mineral makeup (Rose Marie Shadows) since I had such a terrible time with a different brand a couple of weeks ago. :-(
I had a ton of colors to choose from, but I kept going back to ONE over and over!
I chose a breathtaking blue with incredible richness and dimension. It's called Abyss and it's STUNNING.
I hope you like it!
The Tools:
The lashes I selected are Red Cherry 41's and they are a wispy pair with a lower layer to them. Awesome. :-)
EYES:
♥ UDPP
♥ Ulta Shadow in Naked from brow bone to crease
♥ Nyx Jumbo Pencil in Steel to lid and lower lash line
♥ Rose Marie Shadow in Abyss to lid up to crease, and also on lower lash line
♥ Rose Marie Shadow in Illusion to crease, blended up and out towards brow bone
♥ Black eyeliner to lash and water line
♥ Black mascara
♥ *optional* I added a clear gem to the center of my lower lash line,
but it did not photograph very well.
In natural light in was adorable :-)
BLUSH & CONTOUR:
♥ Ulta Powder Blush in Adore applied to apples of cheeks
♥ Coastal Scents Contour Palette:
Dark brown shade used to contour cheek bones, temples, nose, and jaw.
White shade used to highlight center of forehead, under eyes, tip of nose, and chin.
LIPS:
♥ Nyx Round Lipstick in Ceto
♥ Nyx Round Lip Gloss in Kiss
Thanks so much for stopping by! I truly love it when you do!
I hope you have a great week!
xoxo,
Colleen
P.S. Stay tuned... I've been working on a huge project, and there will be more info coming up on that soon!
Best wishes!

Avy, I am so honored by your comments. Honest.
DeleteThank you!!
I adore your blog. ADORE.
The one great thing about me being so cute is that I can be a week late for stuff and nobody gets mad, because who stay mad at this adorable face? (I'm totally making an adorable face right now.)
ReplyDeleteSeriously, though...I've looked at this look about 12 times this week on my phone, and I hate commenting on my phone because it pretty much never goes well. So here I am...finally at a keyboard...and loving this look for the 13th time this week. I LOVE this shade of blue...just LOVE it. Love it. I used to do a similar blue look with UD's Radium all the time...(though I think this shade is a tad darker/deeper than mine)...and this just makes me want to get that blue out and play with it. Fabulous!!
First. Regardless of the face you make. you are indeed in every way adorable, therefore- take 5 years to comment... You are THAT cute.
DeleteSecondly...THANK YOU!! And if I can just say, this blue is really worth everything. If you love blue the way I do :-)
LOVE YOU TO BITS!!!
xoxo!!
Lovely colors :), looks soo chic!
