Day 33: Orange, Blue, Pink EOTD

Day 33! Today I wanted to use the color orange since it's this week's theme for the NTMS makeup challenge; this look was inspired by this color scheme from Design Seeds. It's a stunning mixture of bright oranges, bold blues, and a hint of pale pink<3

PLEASE! Click the pics for full effect..


 Products:

-TFSI Candlelight
-NYX Milk
-Sugarpill Flamepoint pressed eyeshadow (matte orange on lid)
BFTE Cosmetics shadows in:
-Blue Bird (blue on outer edge)
-Spring Fever (pale pink on inner lid)
-Kou (sparkly yellow-orange on crease and center of lid)
-Glitz (sparkly icy blue above Blue Bird)
-Way Up High (matte white w/ gold sheen on browbone/tearduct)
-Wildfire (light shimmery orange patted over Flamepoint)
-Beautiful (pale yellow w/ pink sheen as highlight)
-Loreal Carbon Black and Wet N' Wild Mega Liner in Black
-Cover Girl Lash Perfection mascara
-Sephora white pencil (on waterline)
-Ardell black demi wispies
-brown shadow from 88 palette (on brow)

sparkles!
Whenever I think of orange makeup, I think of Flamepoint. It's my favorite of the 5 Sugarpill pressed shades I own. I love using it, it's so pigmented and blends so well.<3
For this look I tried to be a little different in terms of shape and placement. I hope you liked the result! ;)

Day 22: Spring Brights challenge

Day 22: Spring Brights! This was a makeup challenge I decided to do spur of the moment last night. I love how it turned out<3
Please click the pics to enlarge and view in all their brightness!



Products:

-UDPP
-NYX Milk
-BH 120 palette, 1st edition (hot melon-orange, light melon orange, and hot pink shades)
-NYX Jumbo Eye Pencils in Electric Blue and Lime (lower lashline)
-BFTE "Blue Bird" (bright blue, outer lower lashline)
-BFTE "Peacock" (teal, middle lower lashline)
-BFTE "Lavish" (bright lime green, inner lower lashline)
-BFTE "Glistening" (sparkly white w/pink sheen, highlight)
-BFTE "Sweet N' Spicy" (frosty light peachy pink, patted over orange on middle lid)
-BFTE "7 Seas" (matte teal, brow)
-Wet N' Wild "Turquoise"coloricon pencil (brow)
-Loreal Lineur Intense Carbon Black felt tip liquid liner pen
-NYX "Purple" Candy Glitter liner (over black liner)
-Mon Ennui "Purple People Pleaser" glitter (patted over Candy Glitter)
-Mac Fuchsia glitter (patted over Candy Glitter, mostly on outer wing)
-Cover Girl Lash Perfection mascara in Very Black
-NYX "Funky Diva" false lashes
-BFTE "Light Beige" mineral foundation
-No7 Radiant Glow concealer in shade II
This pinky-orange color in the 120 palette is practically neon, it's amazing! I think I'll be using it again soon...<3
 The only thing I'm not crazy about is the liner, I think it looks a little weird. I started out patting the Mon Ennui glitter over the Candy Glitter liner but it was too dark so I switched to the Mac glitter which is brighter and more sparkly. The crazy lashes were an afterthought, lol. I'd like to recreate this sometime as a full face with different lashes. :)
Becky took this while I was applying the makeup, lol.

Day 20: "Neutral and Pink" FOTD

 Day 20! Today I felt like playing so I decided to do the NTMS challenge which was Neutral and Pink. I'll say right now I've never been good at neutral looks, but I tried. I guess I just need more practice, lol.
I used mostly Chinovi shadows for these looks (there are two, each eye is different).

-TFSI Candlelight
-NYX Milk
Chinovi Cosmetics shadows in:

Here's NYX "Nude Pink" lipliner over chapstick. it's a little warmer than my natural lipcolor but pretty dang close!!
Here's Wet N' Wild "Think Pink" lipstick over the lipliner. I also put a pale cool pink gloss on. :)
I hope you enjoyed these somewhat unconventional looks, lol. They didn't turn out how I wanted but that's entirely due to my lack of neutral skillz. I love working with my Chinovi shadows!<3

I actually did makeup and took pics during the day! :O Normally it's late afternoon or evening when I do makeup but this time I managed to take pictures before the sun set, lol. As a result it's been different trying to edit the pics and such, as I'm not used to dealing with photos that were taken in daylight. I only used one camera this time but I used two different lenses. Some pics were taken with flash, some without, some in direct sun, some in indirect natural light, etc. I hope it provides a variety. :)


Sunlight pic! I like this one<3
