Signature look?

I love doing lots of different looks, but if I should pick one "signature look" it would be a simple look with bold colors.

Actually really easy but really eye catching at the same time.

Do you have a type of look that you do a lot? :)

Keep reading to see more pictures and list of products used :)

Hug Life

I know, I know.

I'm late to the party, but can we just talk about the amazingness that is Sugarpill Lumi?
So. Freaking. Pretty.

Oh, and Hug Life is pretty cool too!

That's all ;)

Love+

It's funny how Sugarpill's Love+ is an intense red but turns bright pink when blended out. I love it both ways though!

Smokey purple: Smoke & Diamonds revisited

What's better than both purple eyeshadow and smokey eyes?

The two combined!

Totally inspired by the weird purple-grey-brown that is my hair color these days ;)

I used MAC Smoke & Diamonds eyeshadow which is an old, limited edition eyeshadow. But it's so. freaking. pretty.

Urban purples

I have a lot of purple eyeshadows and I'm pretty sure it's my favorite color to wear. My very first eyeshadow from MAC was Parfair Amour (also the only MAC eyeshadow I've ever hit pan on) and Urban Decay's Ransom (R.I.P) was a favorite for a long time.

The Urban Decay Electric palette features Urban, an awesome purple, which was the main inspiration for this look.
Urban is one of the four colors in the palette to come with the warning "not intended for the immediate eye area" so I can't really recommend that you try to recreate this. Luckily, both my eyes are still intact ;)

 

Glittery birthday look!

I guess you could say that glitter is to makeup what 42 is to the question about life, the universe and everything. The answer. The ultimate answer.

Today's problem: Having to spend most of my 23rd birthday reading linear algebra.

Solution: Wearing glitter!

And you know what? I had a great day!

It probably had a lot to due with the fact that I had a ton of cake* in great company but I'd like to give credit to the glitter as well ;)

Futuristic Glamrock

As far as eyeshadows go, Fyrinnae is probably the brand with the most interesting colors! I definitely rediscovered my love for Futuristic Glamrock and Parental Advisory with this look.

Red. Purple. Gold.

Purple and red is a long time favorite of mine as far as color combinations go. Add a little gold and I'm in love!
This look turned out a bit darker than I intended thanks to the dramatic black liner.

And I have no idea what's up with all the nude lips lately. Challenge to myself: The next look I post needs to be featuring BRIGHT GLITTERY lips. Or something like that...

Neo Orange, Poison Plum... Love.

Rather simple, but fun and bright at the same time. It seems that's a new makeup love of mine...

5 minute makeup: Eyeliner

What's your go-to look when you have to do your makeup in a hurry?

I usually just do my skin and pop on a bright lipstick, but I'm trying to get back into doing fun eye makeup.

Also, I really wanted to use the pearlglide eyeliners that I finally got.

Back to Black

After taking a bit of a hiatus from the whole blogging/YouTube/Twitter world, I'm back with a new FOTD.
I've got tons of other things I want to try/write about but we'll see how that goes ;)

Hope you're all doing great! :)

 

Angel Flame look

A pretty simple look to try out the (semi)new MAC Angel Flame quad from the Fall Color Collection :)

I quite like the combination of colors in the quad. Like my colleague said: "I just get so happy when looking at those colors!"

Sugarpill Sweetheart look

I had a bit of time to play around with some fun, colorful makeup today and decided to bust out my beloved Sweetheart palette from Sugarpill :)

Colorful fun :)

 I've been in such a terrible makeup rut lately. I've done bold lips and black liquid liner a lot and even a couple of basic smokey eyes but that's about as fun as it's been. I've really missed doing bright colors :)

I did feel a bit rusty when doing this, but at least I finished the look, so here you go! ;)

Evil Eye

This look is basically just me playing around with the Evil Eye palette from the MAC Me Over! collection - hope you like it ;)

The things in the collection that stood out to me the most were definitely the blue and green fluidlines, but that's mostly because I'm pretty obsessed with fluidlines in general and don't have anything that looks like those two ;)

Overall, I do think MAC Me Over! is a really nice collection with something for everyone :)

We had a super fun MAC Me Over! event at the counter I work at and I got to do makeup on some lovely girls:) We took polaroid pictures of all the people we made over and put them on a big MAC Me Over! wall and I think it looked pretty awesome! Unfortunately, I don't have any pictures to post on here :/

Face of the Day: Love+

I'm loving the combination of red and purple at the moment, so it seemed like an obvious choice to use those colors when I had some time to play around with my makeup today.

I used my very favorite red eyeshadow: Sugarpill's Love+, but was quite surprised to see how pink it looked with the other colors. Oh well, I still think it's purrrtty :)

There are two different lip looks behind the cut - one version that's more matte and one that's more glossy. I did the matte one first, but while I liked the fading effect, I really didn't like how it looked with the eyes, so I ended up putting a gloss on top :)

Quite Cute!

I've had these pictures on my camera for weeks, but haven't gotten around to posting them.
Sorryyyyyy!

I did this look using mainly products from the MAC Quite Cute collection, which I was pretty excited about - mostly because of Candy Yum-Yum, which is the most amazing, matte pink lipstick. Ever.

I wasn't really excited about the eyeshadow palette at first, but after using it a couple of times, I actually think it is exactly what it's supposed to be: cute ;)
The pastel colors are great for spring, and even though they're far from being the most pigmented shadows I've ever used, they work well for certain looks, especially if paired with more pigmented, matte shades to give the looks some depth.
All I used besides the eyeshadow palette in this look was actually a colored base in the crease!
And I'm honestly surprised at how much I like the pink color in the palette! Definitely my favorite of the four :)

Playing with colors, glitter and lip tars!

Bright colors are awesome!
I finally had the time to play around with some fun makeup today, and this is what I ended up with! :)

Purple lips!

I've said it before and I'll say it again: I love purple lips!
And! I think I've just found my new favorite purple lip combo :D

Make Up Store Magazine inspired: Bold brows, eyes & lips!

Have I told you that I love Make Up Store Magazine?!
They're always super inspiring, and the latest issue is no exception :)

I wanted to do a look inspired by the picture on page 150 in the newest magazine (issue #15), and this is what I came up with :)
