EOTD: Midnight Bubbly (BFTE Cosmetics)

 Hello, I'm back with another eye look for you! I wanted to recreate a recent look by Crystal, (aka Suzie Homemaker), the owner of BFTE Cosmetics; she posted this absolutely gorgeous look a few days ago using mostly BFTE and some Sugarpill. I used some of the same colors she did, plus a few others, to create this look Makeup Fancy style ;)

Products:
-Lime Crime Candy Eyed Waterproof Eyeshadow Helper
BFTE Cosmetics eyeshadows in:
-Bubbly (golden peach champagne on lid)
-Poodle Pandemonium (magenta with copper sparkles on outer lid and crease)
-Midnight Kisses (deep bluish purple on outer V and crease)
-Way Up High (matte white w/ gold sheen on browbone)
-BFTE's Mix & Fix (mixing medium)
-MAC Blacktrack Fluidline
-Cover Girl Lash Perfection mascara
-Ardell Demi Wispy lashes
-Urban Decay Naked Basics palette on brow
-Boots No7 Radiant Glow concealer
-Hard Candy Glamoflauge in Light
-BFTE mineral foundation in Light Beige

I applied most of these shadows dry but I did use some Mix & Fix to dampen my brush for parts of the crease and outer corner area. I wanted to preserve the sparkles, especially in Poodle Pandemonium, which are so beautiful! I also made sure to blend a lot around the edges to give a very soft, dreamy effect.
It's definitely a bit lighter/brighter than Crystal's version, I think because I went lighter on the purple and heavier on the pink. To me it looks tropical; I picture being on a private yacht in the Caribbean, having a cool champagne on a warm night. (Hence the name, Midnight Bubbly hehe!)
Overall I really like how it turned out; thanks to Crystal for introducing me to this stunning combination, I just love it!♥
 Thanks for reading!

Flawless Kim Kardashian Makeup

Saw this picture and was SO captivated by it. Love her or hate her, she knows how to wear her makeup! Her makeup artist has sent girls all over reeling trying to make their cheekbones as pronounced, their eyes as dreamy, their lashes as long and thick and lips as pouty as possible! Sure, they airbrushed the JuNk out of this photo but still.....beautiful!!!!! In this video I teach how to achieve this gorgeous look with two different lips. One with the orangy red she sports and the other with a very glossy nude lip. One thing I was most impressed with as I went through doing my eyelashes was that I thought my demi whispies might not be good enough to match hers. I ended up doing a good coat of mascara on them and they TOTALLY proved worthy!!!!! SO fun to find that something you already had, something you thought was only good for one thing, surprises you =). I don't feel the need to go out and get different lashes when doing Kim looks. Tell me what you think and which lip is your favorite!
