I remove products I haven't used on the last 4-5 clients, or I tried to find better and smaller containers for the products I am using. In this case I did a bit of both. I removed lip liners and eye liners I don't use and I repackage them into this roll that I saw Kevin James Bennett using at a recent workshop.<br /><br /><br /><a href='http://photo.blogpressapp.com/show_photo.php?p=13/11/09/1862.jpg'><img src='http://photo.blogpressapp.com/photos/13/11/09/s_1862.jpg' border='0' width='640' height='640' align='right' style='margin:5px'></a><br />Why wasn't my original set up working. <br />1. I stored my pencils in plastic baggies<br />2. I stored lip pencils in 1 container and eye pencils in another (think Zuca insert)<br />3. My lip pencils were separated into groups (pinks and brows)<br />4. I'd have to pull out all the pencils in a Baggie to find the one I was looking for (this got really messy). <br />5. I had too many pencils for the client I deal with regularly. <br /><br />So I have less than 30 pencils all in a single place where I can quickly see the colors. This pencil roll also come with a sharpener which has it's own little pouch. I did makeup for 2 guys today and needed the flesh toned chronographic pencils. So far so good!!!<br /><br />After Kevin's workshop I'm determined to get my kit smaller than it already is. I was using the lip tars but the containers are bulky. So I'm going to try out a lipstick palette I made (using a Yaby palette). <br /><br />2 questions for you all:<br />Do you have any cool ways (or containers) for the lip tars?<br />How many lip pencils do you own?<br />...ALLmEYEne...http://www.blogger.com/profile/08819910711364356520noreply@blogger.com1tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7707162989548834788.post-61978190417950730962013-10-07T15:42:00.001-04:002013-10-07T15:42:34.720-04:00Bold & RecentHere are 2 looks I did over the weekend. I finally had a weekend all to myself (well sort of).<br /><br /> I always joke w/ clients about wearing line green shadow when they tell me to do what I want w/ their makeup. <br /><br /><br /><a href='http://photo.blogpressapp.com/show_photo.php?p=13/10/07/1468.jpg'><img src='http://photo.blogpressapp.com/photos/13/10/07/s_1468.jpg' border='0' width='640' height='640' align='right' style='margin:5px'></a><br />On this day I was headed to volunteer at a haunted house. So I wanted something dark (not smokey), yet wearable. So I pulled out by stila eye liner and did a think wing liner and too it into my crease. The lips...all drugstore products. <br /><br /><a href='http://photo.blogpressapp.com/show_photo.php?p=13/10/07/1470.jpg'><img src='http://photo.blogpressapp.com/photos/13/10/07/s_1470.jpg' border='0' width='640' height='640' align='right' style='margin:5px'></a><br />I hope everyone is out there enjoying the fall colors. I really want so do something with orange. Maybe I'll do orange next weekend when I visit Minneapolis. <br /><br />Any colors you guys wanting to work with?<br />...ALLmEYEne...http://www.blogger.com/profile/08819910711364356520noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7707162989548834788.post-4848551263340237782013-07-23T13:39:00.001-04:002013-07-23T13:39:50.964-04:00Video Makeup<br /><br /><a href='www.facebook.com/ashleyjbeard'><img src='http://photo.blogpressapp.com/photos/13/07/23/s_1023.jpg' border='0' width='400' height='400' align='right' style='margin:5px'></a><br />A friend was going to be a video girl for a local politically conscious rapper. So that means she's wont be the typical "video girl". The makeup was pretty basic and we were going for a very rough street girl. We used urban decay products for her base makeup, then used the MUFE Flash Palette and various shadows and powder foundations to rough her up. <br /><br /><br /><center><a href='http://photo.blogpressapp.com/show_photo.php?p=13/07/23/1024.jpg'><img src='http://photo.blogpressapp.com/photos/13/07/23/s_1024.jpg' border='0' width='300' height='400' style='margin:5px'></a></center><br />Sometimes you just don't need a makeup brush.

Well with a recent rendezvous with </span><a style="color:#800080;text-decoration:underline;" href="http://silverlipsbeauty.com/">Silver Lips Beauty</a><span style="color:#000000;"> at The Makeup Show Chicago in 2013, I’ve decided to shake of the cobwebs and say hello...if anyone out there is still listening. In my hiatus a lot of exciting things have been going on. Can you believe they’ve all stemmed from my love for makeup. When I started this blog I had so many hesitations, now...my only hesitation is lack of time. On this blog I’ve shared my personal experience with </span><a style="color:#800080;text-decoration:underline;" href="http://allmeyene.blogspot.com/search/label/Beauty%20Resolution">makeup</a><span style="color:#000000;">, my baby steps as </span><a style="color:#800080;text-decoration:underline;" href="http://allmeyene.blogspot.com/search?q=makeup+artist">makeup artist</a><span style="color:#000000;"> and finally</span><a style="color:#800080;text-decoration:underline;" href="http://allmeyene.blogspot.com/2010/10/my-first-buck-doing-makeup.html">earning my first buck</a><span style="color:#000000;">.

In the Photographer’s Assistant post I regretfully stated, “I'm definitely not interested in being a photographer...more of an enthusiast.” </span><span style="font-family:'Helvetica';font-size:16px;font-weight:bold;color:#000000;">BOLD FACE LIE!</span><span style="font-family:'Helvetica';font-size:16px;color:#000000;"> I love photography....and I really love combining makeup and photography together.

Its titled Pleasantly Purple, but in the pictures, it doesn't look too much like theirs too much purple ing the look. I guess I'll have to pull out the big gun camera for my photos when I'm doing softer/shiny looks. Anyways...this was on a Sunday right before washing my hair and I went to see the movie "The Help" with some sorority sisters. My jaw dropped when I walked into the movie theater. The demographic of viewers was NOTHING like I expected. I thought I had walked into the wrong theater at first. Well I didn't...LOL. <br />
<br />
The movie was nice, it wasn't my sought after high violence, espionage, futuristic, award winning action scene movie, but I did enjoyed it. Just as shocked as I was walking into the movie theater I was even more shocked/floored by everyone's stares and remarks when I was leaving the theater. All these people at the theater were so into my hair, the volume, the commercial like shine and bounce (even w/ the kinks)...I felt like I was one of the actresses in the movie w/ all the questions that I got. A girl that I've seen in my Zumba class even asked if she could take a photo to show her stylist, so she could request her <b><u>perm</u></b> to look like mine!?!?!?! I couldn't do anything but smile...but, uhm...boo boo this ain't no perm. <br />
<br />
Flattered none the less...I was a bit overwhelmed. Even at dinner my hair was the topic of discussion. I was totally burned out about talking about hair. So I bailed on dinner early so I could wash my hair, but I had to make a run to Target for some conditioner first. While there...more of the same...stares and questions from everyone. A couple of recently natural/transitioning college students asked me about my hair and which products to use from "that" shelf. "That" shelf natural ethnic hair shelf w/ over priced products (Miss Jessie's, Shea Moisture, Jane Carter, etc.). I gave what few recommendations I could and went on to buy my non-ethnic $2.84 Suave conditioner...only to realize those girls had me so distracted I bought shampoo by mistake. Not so good for a deep conditioner...trust me, I know. this is the about th 4th time I've done this. Suave change your bottle color for shampoos & conditioners like Tresemme. Hair wise...I was drained. <br />
<br />
Anyway...enough about my rant...here's some more photos of the makeup...since this is a makeup beauty blog.<br />

<br />
Pretty much all of the color I used came from the Inglot palette I got on my recent visit to NYC. I have this huge Inventory of products (including swatches) that I store in my iPhone. When I went to update the inventory w/ the purhased shadows, I found out that I was DUPED!!! I hadn't updated my database before going to NYC, so I can't blame Inglot for using numbers as a "naming convention". Had the Polish based brand used a textual naming convention the likelihood of me repurchasing a shadow (that I hadn't even worn yet) would've been slim to none. DAMN!!! That makes me mad...but the shadows aren't inexpensive, so I'm not as mad if I had purchased an MUFE shadow. The color is 423P...its a nice plum shade. So maybe I will be a good daughter and create my mom a palette for the next time I see her.<br />

Q: For product junkies (hair, makeup, et al) do you find yourself purchasing the same product by mistake.<br />
A: To be honest, I have a ton of crap. My inventory says that I have 316 eye products, 233 of them being eye shadows (which shows when expanded). Over the years, this is the first time I've duped a product by mistake. Now I'll have to buy a single Inglot shadow to fill the void that the palette will soon have. Any color recommendations?<br />
<br />

The advertisement (<a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhgOFMQTbQKtFSayJ95geUICnvM_y8saYHTsxqokg5jSGJT18wfaB64ccosYAVsi-cWTj4QAgWQ00nVQ8FquWfu4T2CvmmfYTLD0IghALF-qAAv3p7slPSWEEW9uZAuY9Y0yT4V5GZXKlLX/s1600/Charlize+Theron.jpg">seen here</a>) is very eye catching and has a very soft look too it. My recreations was mostly just to try out a silver shadow in my crease. I can't say (or remember) if i've ever done a silver crease before. When I think of silver I think lid color...but challenging my own thinking (w/ the assistance of the advertisement) I pick up my silver shadow and went to town in that crease. This day was a very laidback day and I had a lot of running around to do. So I didn't have time (or energy) to do anything extra and I think total time spent on this face was about 8 mins...if that.<br />

Okay, now here are some interesting (at least to me) photos and and learning. For the past few weeks, I've been wearing my hair in twists Monday-Thursday, and Twist-outs Friday-Sunday. Sunday is typically my wash day...starting the routine all over. This past Sunday, before the twistout pictured below, I used so much freaking oil in my hair (Shea Moisture Reconstructive Elixr...the only product I like from this brand). If I were to touch my twist during the week I could feel/see the oil. BUT at the end of the week this is the what I end up with...WOW. <br />

My hair was extremely soft and shiny...its was actually pretty nice looking. My hair was groped by so many people...I was happy that I had it in gropeable conditions...LOL. So I was definitely having a happy hair moment over the weekend.<br />

Well Blue Brown won, and I ended up doing a jazzed up version of my everyday look. I really like using blue brown pigment. It has warmth and dimension that can go everyday or go more dramatic. In the past I've compared this to HIP Intrepid pigment and I have both. Maybe I'll have recreate this look using HIPs pigment just to show how similar they are. My only gripe is that it didn't pick up in the photos too well. The sheen is evident but not so much of the color. But trust me in real life its an awesome color.<br />
<br />
I swear the lipstick that I have on was made using blue brown pigment. It is MAC High Top lipstick from the Fafi collection. It is a glaze lipstick so the color is very sheer, but it has the same color properties as Blue Brown pigment.<br />

<b>A: I have too much makeup, but what I have I store in a 2nd room and not in the bathroom.

I'm from (and lived in) the Midwest and ummmm, we drive everywhere. The farthest I have to walk is from my office parking lot to my desk. So all the walking was getting to me. I felt like I was back in college, but worse. That was until it was time to hit up the <b>Inglot</b> store. <b>YES YES YES!</b>!! I couldn't resist going to their Times Square boutique. This was actually my 2nd visit to Times Square, but the first time I didn't tempt myself to go into the boutique b/c The Makeup Show was right around the corner. Now that I have had 3 months to play around with Inglot products on myself and on others I'm hooked.<br />
<br />

Why? They apply d@mn near effortlessly so I don't have to waste so much time building up the product. I had originally planned on getting 3 more palettes, but the night we went (approximately 10:30 PM on Friday), they were out of a few colors that I wanted to pick up. <br />
<br />

She got a few key eyeshadows (golds, bronze, coppers) and a blush. She was shocked that their shadows were so affordable and that you truly had the "freedom" to create a palette for your specific needs. I think she got the 1 blush + 3 shadow palette and then 2 eye shadow singles. For me...I just limited myself to purchasing 2 of the 10-pan Freedom palettes and a few other items. I've been sticking to fairly basic colors so that they are more universal (eyes, cheeks, etc). I wanted to create a Plum, Navy/Black, and Gold/Olive palettes, but I ended up leaving with a hodgepodge of stuff. Overall I'm really happy with what I got. With fall coming the plums will definitely come in handy for homecoming and the fall bridal season. <br />
<br />
Here are a few thoughts on the products that I purchased from Inglot.<br />

I picked up two more of Inglot's AMC Gel Liners, now owning a total of 6. They are really buttery and on myself I can really get a nice tight line w/o tugging. I'm hoping they stay this way but only time will tell. IMO, they are creamier than MAC fluid lines. This is great for application on mature eyes. Now I got a lime and an peach color but you'd be surprised how I plan to use them. I haven't tried using the gel liners as a base, so I have a green eye look that I want to create and I'll give them a try then.<br />
<br />
<b><u>Duraline</u></b><br />
This is a liquid transformer. You can turn any powder into a liquid. I did try this out in NYC by using Inglot 63M shadow to create a black liner. Worked like a charm and it lasted all day/night. So I'm impressed. The associate (who was actually the associate that helped me at The Makeup Show) said that it probably wouldn't work as an E/S sealer, but I'm going to try to use it to foil a few shadows and see what results I get and how long it last.<br />
<br />
<br />
<b><u>Makeup Remover</u></b><br />
At the Makeup Show I purchased their Makeup Remover. I really like it compared to my Neutrogena remover. I've never tried MAC remover, so I don’t have a mid-range remover to compare this to. But I am enjoying using it to remove my mascara since I have been loading it on these days.<br />
<br />
Here are a couple of photos of my Inglot products and even showing how I label the shadows in the palette. Mostly for blogging purposes, but I do offer my clients a complete list of products I use on them. So far I'm sticking w/ the 10 pan palettes, b/c I like the size and how they fit in my various makeup cases.<br />

If you look back over my last few blog posts (see the Inglot tag, or search Inglot), you’ll see that their products can produce some amazing looks.<br />
<br />
I hope everyone is enjoying their summer. I've been interviewing for a new position at work and have been pretty consumed with those activities. Now that the decision has been made, I am no longer on the edge of my seat waiting and having ignore my moms question of "Did you get the job"...LOL. So I should get this blog back up and running and looking forward to transitioning into the warm fall colors.<br />
<br />
<b>QOTD:</b><br />
Q: Have you tried Inglot? If not...what are you waiting for? If yes...What are you favorite eye shadow colors/numbers?<br />
A: I waited a while to try out Inglot b/c I was afraid of disappointment (w/ all the hype) and the fact that I hate online shopping for makeup. If you're not living in 1 of 5 locations in the US you can't go "demo" these products. But now that I own quite a few shadows I'd have to say that my favorites are...(hmmmm, stay tuned...I’ll do an Inglot favorites post...or video)....ALLmEYEne...http://www.blogger.com/profile/08819910711364356520noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7707162989548834788.post-29460506854607982442011-08-14T10:00:00.001-04:002011-08-14T10:00:07.682-04:00Natural Bloom Magazine - A Must ReadIf you guys have not heard (or read) about the Natural Bloom magazine this is definitely one to check out.

To learn more about naturally textured hair check out <a href="http://thenaturalhaven.blogspot.com/">The Natural Haven</a>. This by far is one of my favorite blogs. To be honest this is the blog (not YouTube) that helped me to understand my hair and got me to the point I am today in terms of not being a product junkie. I still have a lot to learn but I am confident that what I need to know has been (or will be) covered on this blog. The magazine featured above is an extension to the science and natural hair and focuses on celebrating hair, style, and life. Enjoy !!!<br />

Where I live it might be snowing tomorrow, so I have to make the most of what little summer we have left.

So hopefully I'll get a few pics in here and there, but I'm also volunteering as well, so this will be fun. It will definitely be different and challenging, but i'm looking forward to it. The first challenge are advertisements. So fun times and great learnings are ahead.</div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; margin-bottom: 0px; margin-left: 0px; margin-right: 0px; margin-top: 0px; text-align: center;"><br />

Well I guess that's not too far away from purple on the color spectrum. I'm not a big fan of pink especially on the eyes. I feel like that it makes my eyes look redder than they already are. So when I do pink looks I always take extra allergy medicine and keep Visine on had. I really like this eye look, its a simple color combination...w/ a little sparkle to it.<br />
<br />
In the upcoming weeks I want to try out an office appropriate blue look. I've done it before, but I'm tempted to try it again. I don't think blue is unprofessional...but its just those primary colors aren't the most understated colors. I'll give it a shot...you should too.<br />

So why is this post titled a foundation fail...well a few posts back (specifically this one)...I talked about the routine I go through to check my foundation matching. So since I was trying out the Graftobian HD Glamour Creme's as well as foundation matching w/ different brands I definitely had to put this face to the test. I ended up mixing quite a few of the products together. The foundation looks fine in some of the pictures. I actually applied the foundation w/ my fingers. It was definitely easy to apply (but I'm thinking the primer aided w/ that). The only negative thing I have to say is that the product transferred...but that's partially my fault since I didn't set it. Anyway...check out the pictures below and you'll see why this foundation mix was a <b>COMPLETE FAIL</b>.<br />

The product(s) I'm talking about are the Make Up For Ever Aqua Creams. Those things have amazing color and they look really good. The only thing is that they way they apply is quite cakey and not consistent. If you've ever used a MAC Paint Pot or even the beloved/dreaded NYX Jumbo Eye Shadow pencils you know that those products are more emollient (creamier) and are fairly easy to apply. <br />
<br />
I have a total of 2 of MUFE Aqua Creams (#5 - orange & #2 - pink). I LOVE THE ORANGE. I've worn it in previous looks as seen <a href="http://allmeyene.blogspot.com/2010/08/boldly-orange-w-make-up-forever.html">here</a>. I struggle applying it there as well...but since I've been in the mixing mood (w/ every freakin thing) so I mixed the Aqua Cream with Two Faced Shadow Insurance. This definitely transformed the product while maintaining the intense color. So I was totally happy...seriously. The only thing now is to find the best tool to apply it with...any advice?

I could've worn a spiced up beige, but I was still in the mood for purples and still enjoying playing with my MAC Pure White Chromaline that I purchase quite some time ago. It was once a neglected product, but I have been enjoying using it over the last couple of weeks. <br />
<br />
The MAC Pure White Chromaline is great. I've never owned the NYX Milk Jumbo Pencil, but I've owned others and I'm not impressed with them and I can't understand the love that others have for them. But anyway, the Pure White Chromaline has been great and brightening up my looks lately...and its fabulous on the lower water line and its easier to apply than Fascinating Eye Kohl. Anyway here's a purple look that could be semi-neutral.<br />

Q: Do you tone down your makeup for work? What about work related outings that happen after work hours?<br />
A: I tone my makeup down somewhat for work. It usually gets a little more interesting towards the end of the work week. If I'm hanging out w/ co-workers/peers after work hours...then no. I don't go w/ lime greens or anything but I will increase the intensity of the shadow....ALLmEYEne...http://www.blogger.com/profile/08819910711364356520noreply@blogger.com2tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7707162989548834788.post-87558474386420312012011-07-24T22:36:00.000-04:002011-07-24T22:36:44.343-04:00Hidden Jewel<a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEh4NGefmXJrbuuPRH0iOwhDyu201OS7RcdjjPW0A5oQBZgNu_HmM6eSsG0Cpt6IeeR6rZhwqfy8JeL9f953jniGOhtqgEMH0aBye6r6HdTJa9XpLK-HfD0qXrT3EDS8rtBRhjrPZYuVVZt5/s1600/%255B2011+07+20%255D+Hidden+Jewel-05.JPG" imageanchor="1" style="float: right; margin: 0px 2px 2px 2px;"><img border="0" height="200" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEh4NGefmXJrbuuPRH0iOwhDyu201OS7RcdjjPW0A5oQBZgNu_HmM6eSsG0Cpt6IeeR6rZhwqfy8JeL9f953jniGOhtqgEMH0aBye6r6HdTJa9XpLK-HfD0qXrT3EDS8rtBRhjrPZYuVVZt5/s200/%255B2011+07+20%255D+Hidden+Jewel-05.JPG" width="150" /></a>A few days ago a friend asked for ideas for an eye makeup look containing pink, purple, and yellow for an evening out. She's one of the few friends that I have whose more of an adventurous makeup wearer and she fell in love with bright lips last year. I showed her a couple of different looks but this is one that I thought she'd be able to pull it off fairly quickly. I think she's mastered the color in the tear duct and wears it frequently.<br />
<br />
I actually used a pigment to create a liner. I'm trying to venture away from the black gel/liquid liner...but its like a staple in my routine. I think the darker the eye liner the better the look. I've tried brown as well and its...its just not the same.<br />

Using the Wet n Wild Vanity palette...INITIALLY. My skin is definitely getting caramelized by the sun. I could tell when I headed out for my Zumba class that the color of my skin was changing. I also twisted my hair b/c its going to be nice an toasty in the midwest. And for some odd reason the ladies (+ the two or 3 men) at my Zumba class go crazy...its weird. Now this is a class of about 100-125 people and they also go crazy for the neutral makeup I wear too. Maybe I look more approachable when I wear neutral makeup...LOL...oe not so crazy. So here' s the look and I'll explain why I hopped from <b>Wet n Wild </b>to <b>Inglot</b> down below.<br />

<br />
So I was watching AfricanExport on YouTube the other night and she proclaimed never to purchase another expensive shadow again and that lower priced shadows work for her and perform just the same....WHAT !!! I'm not in total disagreement, but I disagree. In terms of performance at times there's no contest. There's typically more product that is needed to achieve similar (not the same...but similar) results. So this morning I pulled out one of the drugstore palettes that I really like and its getting rave reviews. I applied the same look you see above using the Wet n Wild Vanity palette (primed w/ UDPP and Groundwork). I swear by the time I got into the office (approximately 30 minute commute) the shadow had already lost its ummpfh (vibrancy so to speak). My makeup still looked good, but not the way it did when I initially applied it.<br />
<br />
Now in terms of makeup application on others...I don't know about ya'll...but in a wedding, fashion show, photo shot or any time critical scenario (me running late for work)...building up the shadow is not an option. Speaking for myself, but I'm sure others can attest. I can appreciate value brand products (and there are some good ones), but I need a product that can due diligence.<br />
<br />
QOTD:<br />
Q: What are you thoughts on the topics? Value brand products over mid-high end products.<br />
A: At the end of the day...my Dad always says (and I'm just finally getting it)...you get what you pay for. If you can't afford it save and spend your money on quality.<br />

This look started out netural (for me) and then it was just a little too boring, so I had to jazz it up a bit. I guess since its summer time I feel that color is a requirement of some sort...LOL. So I stuck to my recent purple fetish and spiced up my lower lash line and crease a bit. I even started out w/ a neutral lip, but couldnt' help but to go BOLDER. Since I was going out w/ makeup-less faced friends, I decided I'd have on enough for everyone...LOL. I forgot to take some pictures before the evening got started, but you guys can enjoy the sweaty aftermath photos of hanging around partying...and I even got bitten in the face my a mosquito :-(. Well enjoy the photos just don't discredit me and my red eyes...since these photos are around the 3am-ish timeframe...and I was exhausted.<br />

So this relationship that I'm having with the Yaby shadows in the Best of Both Worlds palette is a little strange. When I'm applying the products I don't get the pay off that I'm expecting. What pay off am I expecting...well sort of Inglot-ish like pay off. Inglot (in my opinion) has completed altered my expectations of what I'm inclined to see the minute I lay the shadow on my eyes. I don't get this with the Yaby shadows...and I feel disappointed when i'm applying my makeup...BUT...and a big ass BUT...the end resulting looks are always amazing (in person and on camera). Its so weird, but you can see some of the end results of my Yaby uses <a href="http://allmeyene.blogspot.com/2011/07/red-white-blue-pics-video.html">here</a>, <a href="http://allmeyene.blogspot.com/2011/07/more-drama.html">here</a>, and <a href="http://allmeyene.blogspot.com/2011/07/extreme-wing.html">here</a>. On all of these looks I was not happy w/ the Yaby product while doing the look, but LOVED the end results. I'll keep at it. I'm just a little hesitant to take this on the road w/ me and use it on various folks.<br />
<br />
QOTD:<br />
Q: For any that's used Yaby on someone else...how do you find that it works? Is this staple in your kit? How do you feel about the basic eye shadow compared to the pearl paints?<br />
A: I've been reading up on this and a lot of MUAs love it and use it frequently...I'm honestly not sure. I have a few engagements coming up where I will give it a try...but I seriously need something that works quickly. Any thoughts ladies??<br />

I'm not exactly sure, but I may go NEUTRAL or maybe a true SMOKEY eye. I don't think I've ever done one and actually posted it here before. But I haven't done neutral in quite some time...so I guess I'll be pulling out those palettes. Don't hold me to it. I change my mind frequently...LOL...I have far to many products to choose from. Any recommendations/request from anyone...I'm open for suggestions right about now.<br />

No here's the look w/o the flash and even one that I call the "club photo" because I take the pictures in total darkness allowing the flash to fire. Its the top right picture below. I always try to take a picture like this to validates the look for me...its like my own personal quality assurance. Taking a flash photo in complete darkness reveals EVERYTHING...all blending mistakes, foundation demarcations, poor highlighting, etc. I try to do this when I do make up on others as well...but sometimes depending on the location its not always possible. Try it out.<br />

<b>QOTD:</b><br />
Q: What techniques do you use to "validate" your own makeup application?<br />
A: I use a few, but the one that's the most reliable for me has been taking a flash photo in complete darkness. I typically try to take it on the lowest caliber camera that I have and one that easiest to use. So that means my iPhone 4 is used for this most of the time. And its convenient too. :-) <br />
<br />
What about you...what techniques do you use?<br />

So once I got started (w/ no plan in mind) this is what I ended up with. I wouldn't even know what to call this. I just started playing with the greens and then the bright orange in the <b>Yaby Best of Both Worlds </b>palette caught my eye...literally.<br />

For the Yaby shadows...the Pearl Paints are really nice. But it took me forever to work w/ the Just Orange color (in my tear duct). I'm thinking that they need to be applied over a cream color base or something. The bright green on my lower lash line was applied over the MAC Pure White Chromaline and it was so much easier to apply and work with. I'll see if this is true...I'm going to try another look w/ the Best of Both Worlds palette without using any of the pearl paints. Does anyone else feel the same way about the Yaby shadows? Any tips for working w/ them?<br />

I wanted to play around in some makeup last night and this is what I ended up with. I ended up with 3 dimensions of teal in my crease...a cut crease at that. I think I may try to do a video for this...maybe. If I re-do this look I'll actually take my time and try to make it look nice. I believe that by the time I actually decided to play in makeup it was around 10PM. So I knew I was in for the night...so I could get a little crazy w/ things. I'd be interested to see how this looks as a rainbox color scheme or even w/ purple. <br />

<b> :: EYES ::</b></span><div><span lang="">Urban Decay Primer Potion (<b>UDPP - Original</b>) was applied to the lid with fingers. Next I applied <b>Inglot 372M </b>into my crease with a large crease brush (about the size of a MAC 224). Next I took <b>Inglot 338M</b> and applied it in the crease just shy of the farthest point of the 327M. I applied this with a <b>MAC 223 </b>brush. After that I applied <b>MAC Black</b> Greasepaint stick in my deep crease with a <b>Sigma 210</b>. I went over that line with <b>Inglot 340M </b>and brought the line all the way into my tear duct area. I lined my upper lash line with <strong>Inglot #77 AMC Gel Liner</strong> and winged it out quite a bit. I filled in my lid first with <strong>Jesse's Girl Cafe au Lait Eye Dust.</strong> Next I used <strong>Hard Candy's glitter glue</strong> (waste of money) and stuck <b>MAC 3D Copper Brillant Glitter </b>on the lid area. It looked really nice while it lasted (which was all of 7 mins). Now on my lower lash line I wasn't sure what I wanted to do so I lined the water line and the lower lash line with <b>MAC Fascinating </b>Eye Kohl. I think took <strong>Inglot's 327M</strong> and packed it onto my lower eye area and extended it down. Next I used the <strong>Inglot #77 AMC Gel liner</strong> and drew a black line between the white and teal shadows on my lower lash line. For lashes I used <strong>#43 Demi Whispie's</strong> from Nigels. Oh and for a brow highlight I just used <strong>MAC Arena</strong>.</span></div><div><span lang=""><br />

<b>:: LIPS ::</b>I ended up doing 3 different looks.<br />
1. I used <strong>NYX Brown</strong> Lip Liner and topped it with <strong>NYX Gold Sparkle</strong> gloss (I think that was the name of it)<br />
2. <strong>MAC Kissable Slimshine</strong> <- This packs a lot of color and is a little moisturizing on the lips.<br />
3. <strong>OCC Lip Tars Rx + Lo-Fi + Clear</strong> <strong>(+ Feathered</strong> to highlight)<br />
<br />
So that's about it. I'm not sure if its completely video worthy but if anyone is intrested let me know in the comments.<br />
<br />
QOTD:<br />
Q: For your jewelry choice...silver or gold?<br />
A: Silver...all the way. I only tend to need gold jewelry when I'm going out and never have any to wear. pencil</span></div>...ALLmEYEne...http://www.blogger.com/profile/08819910711364356520noreply@blogger.com6tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7707162989548834788.post-15233373111289272392011-07-12T21:30:00.001-04:002011-07-12T21:30:00.219-04:00Kind of Sketchy<a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEi3oMSKkX7dXcmrTNGZKxC9TvTdoZuEg7XzcV_NX6v0j0JMUsOxcHN3xrVUHetHVIDi0FqX5LYZxVVh5wFaaGxdIgO_um9rAkYKtlyrZLHKsoNSj3wAFmtGBYjgcX3BTkMuxEu1nnhM8Ga_/s1600/%255B2011+07+11%255D+Kind+of+Sketchy-12.JPG" imageanchor="1" style="float: right; margin: 0px 2px 2px 2px;"><img border="0" height="150" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEi3oMSKkX7dXcmrTNGZKxC9TvTdoZuEg7XzcV_NX6v0j0JMUsOxcHN3xrVUHetHVIDi0FqX5LYZxVVh5wFaaGxdIgO_um9rAkYKtlyrZLHKsoNSj3wAFmtGBYjgcX3BTkMuxEu1nnhM8Ga_/s200/%255B2011+07+11%255D+Kind+of+Sketchy-12.JPG" width="200" /></a>So I guess I'm still in a purple mood these days and even decided to pull out some of my neglected products. I'm sure most of you out there are beauty junkies and have a ton of neglected products. One of my neglected products is MACs Sketch eye shadow. I remember purchasing this shadow soooo long ago, and had big dreams of hitting the pan. Uhm, when I looked at it in my shadow it looked brand new. Too many products to enjoy...so I seriously need a hiatus from buying new makeup. Anyways, here's the look that I put together. Check out the other neglected products that I used today.<br />

<b>:: BROWS ::</b><br />
<b>Styli-Style Black/Brown 24 Hour Line & Seal</b> pencil.<br />
<br />
<b>:: EYES ::</b><br />
I started off by applying Urban Decay Primer Potion (<b>UDPP - original</b>). Next I used my <b>MAC StudioFinish Conceal - NC45</b> on my brow bone followed by applying <b>MAC Constructivist</b> paint pot on my lid and into my crease. I blended those 2 products with a <b>Sigma 217</b>. Next I applied <b>Jesse's Girl Cafe au Lait Eye Dust</b> over my entire lid covering most of the paint pot I applied. Next I took <b>MAC Sketch and</b> applied that into my crease with a <b>MAC 223</b>. I took <b>MAC Purple Haze</b> and applied it to the outer 1/2 of my lid to make the eye a little more interesting. For liner I used <b>Inglot #77 </b>AMC Gel liner and winged it out (a little to thick though). My mascara...uhm a bit too much clumping, but I used <b>Maybelline The Falsies</b> mascara.<br />
<br />
<b>:: LIPS ::</b><br />
I did quite a bit of mixing to come up w/ an interesting color. I mixed <b>OCC Katricia + Lo-Fi + Clear </b>to create a really gray sheer mauve like color and applied it with a <b>Simply Simmons #8 </b>Filbert Comb. Next I added <b>Jesse's Girl Cafe au Lait Eye Dust </b>to give the gloss some sheen.<br />
<i>*Now I don't know if I used too much clear but the gloss didn't last as long as if I just used the lip tars full strength. But I got a few hours wear out of it.</i><br />
<br />
<b>:: FACE ::</b><br />
First I applied <b>Mehron No Sweat</b> Face Prep (trying this out since I was headed to workout). For concealer I went back to my <b>MAC ProLongwear Concealer - NC45</b>. Next using a damp <b>Sephora Collection Mineral Powder Brush #45</b> and applied <b>MAC MSF/Natural - Dark. </b>Lastly for my cheeks I used <b>MAC Bronze Hero Lustre Drops </b>with a 188 like brush.<br />
<br />
<b>QOTD:</b><br />
Q: So what neglected products have you used lately?<br />
A: MAC (Sketch, Lustre Drops, ); Jesse's Girl Eye Dust (Cafe au Lait), Ben Nye Magicake Aqua Colors, 120 Color Palette....ALLmEYEne...http://www.blogger.com/profile/08819910711364356520noreply@blogger.com4tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7707162989548834788.post-45802748850257854572011-07-11T20:00:00.001-04:002011-07-11T20:00:02.760-04:00Purple Shooter<a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEgVbn4c4bQHdtllrm_iSoolX6rRFQIPsjWdFZvSMkTIJxthTHkwBYF1tlJNDI9z8CYmrfpNcTS6iGCtcSWlCCedWdH85N9I-vR5Dyu0ChdrnZ2NGP1eVj3nSVpePTiLzO6s5f3BxOXriSip/s1600/%255B2011+07+09%255D+Pink+Shooter-03.JPG" imageanchor="1" style="float: right; margin: 0px 2px 2px;"><img border="0" height="150" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEgVbn4c4bQHdtllrm_iSoolX6rRFQIPsjWdFZvSMkTIJxthTHkwBYF1tlJNDI9z8CYmrfpNcTS6iGCtcSWlCCedWdH85N9I-vR5Dyu0ChdrnZ2NGP1eVj3nSVpePTiLzO6s5f3BxOXriSip/s200/%255B2011+07+09%255D+Pink+Shooter-03.JPG" width="200" /></a>So today was another wedding day where I was playing assistant photographer. I really feel like I did worse this time around than the first wedding I assisted at. The set up made it difficult to shoot...good thing for that bride & groom that I'm not the primary photographer...LOL. I'm just learning. Anyways...its was a very early start since the bride wanted to capture the entire day. So the salon was first and then the sutie, then the church...you know the rest. I really enjoyed shooting at the salon. There was actually a Makeup Artist there (Pugeut Makeup, Inc.) I believe was the name and she was doing makeup for this naturally curly woman. I couldn't help but keep looking in that direction...LOL. <br />
<br />
Well anyway I got plenty of compliments on my own look. Even though I was being a shooter at this wedding I need to run somewhere immediately after and I would have no time to glam it up. So I had to start my day w/ this face. Unfortunately the day was so busy and had such an early start that these were the only pics I got at the end of the day when I was completely exhausted. So enjoy the look, but pardon the red eyes.<br />

<strong>:: BROWS ::</strong><br />
<strong>Styli-Style Black/Brown 24 Hour Line & Seal</strong><br />
<em>* I've been getting lazy in the mornings while doing my makeup. Pencils are just so much easier to use.</em><br />
<br />
<strong>:: EYES ::</strong><br />
Urban Decay Primer Potion (<strong>UDPP - Original</strong>), <strong>MAC Indianwood</strong> Paint Pot was applied to my lid and then topped with <strong>MAC Amber Lights</strong> to warm up the gold color. Next I applied <strong>Make Up For Ever #58 - Dark Raspberry</strong> with a <strong>MAC 223</strong> and blended it out with a <strong>MAC 222</strong> brush. This keeps the spread of color very shallow. Next I used the <strong>Sigma 226</strong> to apply <strong>Make Up For Ever #92 - Purple</strong> shadow in my deep crease covering the outer 1/2 of the crease. I layered the #92 shadow to get a nice intense color. I used a little bit of MAC Trax on the inner 1/2 of mycrease to keep the look sort of warm. On my brow bone I used <strong>MAC Texture </strong> mixed with a little of <strong>MAC Soft Brown</strong>. I lined my eye with <strong>Inglot #77</strong> AMC Gel liner. For mascara I used the <strong>Maybelline Lash Discovery</strong>.<br />
<br />
<strong>:: LIPS ::</strong><br />
<span style="font-size: small;">On my lips I only wore Carmex. I didn't have time for anything else.<br />
<br />
<strong>:: FACE :::</strong><br />
<span style="font-size: small;">I used <strong>MAC Studio Finish Concealer - NC45</strong> to conceal underneath my eyes followed by an application of <strong>Revlon ColorStay Carmel</strong> foundation. I applied it again with the <strong>Sephora Collection Mineral Powder Brush (#45).</strong> On my cheeks I'm not exactly sure what I used, but I believe it was <strong>MAC Love Joy</strong> Mineralized Skin Finish<br />
So one of my friends asked me while we were out to dinner, that since I have really bad allergies and my eyes are constantly irriated how in the world do I manage to rub my eyes and keep my makeup in tact. Its like that whole "sleeping pretty" thing...if you know what I'm saying...LOL. So here's how I do it girl. I take the skin beneath my eye (w/ no eye shadow) and push it up causing my lower lash line to cover my eye...and then I rub that bare skin and not my eye...no makeup harmed in the process and the look always remains in tact...LOL.<br />

A: That's a tough one right....well not for me. I'm in <strong>Inglot's</strong> corner right now. Like I said before the MUFE shadows that I wore over the weekend were fading by mid day. I haven't tried them out on my lids, but if I consider the output, the consisteny, longevitiy, color range, and price...Inglot hands down.<br />
<br />
What about you? I'm going to NYC soon and I'm planning on purchasing a bunch more Inglot products. </span></span>...ALLmEYEne...http://www.blogger.com/profile/08819910711364356520noreply@blogger.com2tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7707162989548834788.post-46496998709184195372011-07-11T00:21:00.000-04:002011-07-11T00:21:20.344-04:00Pafait Amour<a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEg7qRpYf435pnY_hx5uRLtEDw_nPfb0RDEWVtE42GQJbB9DS5b9x2TvfWPIOa-ssez50WmyV31Ycnb1N8ShaNPEyo6ttylonTvuaQvJaFaIjfyXndnLRBDls9HCyHkfSqzKMU0QQjaxyfBX/s1600/%255B2011+07+08%255D+Parfait+Amour-05.JPG" imageanchor="1" style="float: right; margin: 0px 2px 2px 2px;"><img border="0" height="150" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEg7qRpYf435pnY_hx5uRLtEDw_nPfb0RDEWVtE42GQJbB9DS5b9x2TvfWPIOa-ssez50WmyV31Ycnb1N8ShaNPEyo6ttylonTvuaQvJaFaIjfyXndnLRBDls9HCyHkfSqzKMU0QQjaxyfBX/s200/%255B2011+07+08%255D+Parfait+Amour-05.JPG" width="200" /></a>Over the course of this entire weekend (Fri-Sun) all of my looks sort of had a pink purple vibe. Well not sort of...they did. Here's 1 of the looks that I wore on Friday. I finally pulled out one of the Make Up For Ever shadows that I purchased recently. I had to go digging to figure out which shadow it was b/c the pan is not labeled...but its the very warm pink color in my crease. Very nice...but over the 3 days I've worn it, I've noticed that it would fad throughout the day...what's up with that...MUFE. I actually notice it w/ #92 as well. I usually don't put primer in my crease, but I may have to w/ these shadows.<br />

<b>:: BROWS ::</b><br />
Styli-Style Black/Brown 24-Hour Line & Seal pencil.<br />
<br />
<b>:: EYES ::</b><br />
<b>Urban Decay Primer Potion</b> (UDPP - Original), <b>Estee Lauder Lilac Petals</b> Cream Shadow (similar to a MAC paint pot). I applied <b>MAC Parfait Amour</b> to the lid w/ a flat shader brush. Next I used <b>Make Up For Ever #58 </b>- Dark Raspberry in the crease using a <b>MAC 224</b> followed by applying <b>Make Up For Ever #92 </b>- Purple in the outer portion of my crease with a <b>MAC 223</b>. On my brow bone I used <b>MAC Soft Brown</b>. On the inner crease I applied <b>MAC Shale</b> to help open up that area of my eye...its hardly noticeable, but its there. I used <b>MAC Blacktrack Fluidline</b> to liner my upper lash line. Next I used <b>Maybelline Black Lash Discovery</b> on both my upper and lower lashes. I made it a bit clumpy so you could see my lower lashes better. Lastly I applied a small segment of false eye lashes to the outer corner of my eye (I'm not sure what brand or number they are sorry).<br />
<br />
<b>:: LIPS ::</b><br />
I applied some <b>Carmex</b> to my lips, then swiped my finger in <b>MAC Style Demon</b> Mineralize Skin Finish and applied it to my lips. The Style Demon is typically used as a blush, but its very bold...but I think its makes a nice lip color for me.<br />
<br />
<b>:: FACE ::</b><br />
I first applied <b>MAC StudioFinish Concealer - NC45</b> followed by using <b>Revlon ColorStay Carmel Foundation</b> applied with a <b>Sephora Bronzer </b>brush. I used <b>MAC Style Demon</b> on my cheeks applied with a <b>Sigma 131</b> brush to finish up the face.<br />
<br />
The look is sort of bold, but its not over the top. For me it would be totally work appropriate...but I didn't wear this to work. I actually just wore Lilac Petals w/ a little bit of the #58 Dark Raspberry color. I added the dimension and intensity when i got home to enjoy my Friday evening. Here are a few photos of the look without the flash...<br />

<b>QOTD:</b><br />
Q: Is anyone planning on purchasing the new Mineralized products from the Semi-Precious collection?<br />
A: There are a few shadows and 1 mineralize skin finish that has caught my eye. I'm not to sure about the brushes, but I really want to try the MAC 225 brush b/c its a little smaller and narrower than the 227. <br />
<br />
Anyone have anything to share about this collection. I've been hunting around on the web trying to make my list...I'm not sure if I will purchase anything immediately...but I may just wait for the items to hit my local CCO.

Yeah I’m a little late w/ posting but making a corresponding video for looks adds additional time to my posts. I’ll get better I’m sure as I make more videos. This look isn’t over the it’s just a not-so-everyday patriotic look. All I can say is that HD video is totally unforgiving…sheesh. Making the video was fun, but I don’t see how some folks talk through their videos so eloquently...hell maybe I need to take a speech or public speaking class. I guess that’s something that will come with practice as well…but I’m truly an IT person at heart. I will text, IM, and email the hell out of you before I even think of picking up a phone…LOL. Its much easier to do the voiceovers but personally I favor videos where the content creators talk through their looks. Well here’s the video and pictures for the look..<br />

<i><span class="Apple-style-span" style="color: purple;">* see more pictures below</span></i><br />
<br />
<b>:: BROWS ::</b><br />
<b>Styli-Style Brown 24 Hour Line & Seal</b> pencil was used to fill in my brows, after a workout and a nap and not additional grooming that’s what I ended up with.<br />
<br />
<b>:: EYES ::</b><br />
<b>Two Faced Shadow Insurance (</b>primer), <b>MAC Brown Script</b> was used in the crease with a <b>MAC 224</b>. On top of that color I applied a <b>Bloody Mary</b> red eye shadow (I purchased from Hot Topic) with a modified <b>Loew-Cornell Maxine Mop</b>. I applied <b>Yaby Butterfly Blue (PP066) </b>to my lid only using a smaller <b>Loew-Cornell Maxine Mop</b> brush. Using the <b>Evian Facial Spray</b> I saturated a <b>Simply Simmons #4 Filbert Comb </b>brush and loaded it with the bright <b>silver</b> from my <b>Manly 120 Color Palette</b> applying the color to the tearduct area of my eye. Using a <b>Sigma 226 </b>I applied Stars<b> Makeup Haven Unzipped</b> to my crease. To blend out the red I applied <b>MAC Soft Brown</b> to the brow bone with a <b>Sigma 224</b> brush. On my lower lash line I applied <b>L’Oreal HIP Blue Spark</b> Liner and <b>MAC Fascinating Eye Kohl</b> to the waterline. Followed up with <b>Yaby Silver Dust (ES109)</b> on the inner ½ and then <b>Yaby Butterfly Blue (PP066) </b>to the rest. After cleaning up the eye area I applied my false lashes. I layered 2 pair of the cheap lashes I got from Dollar Tree (<a href="http://allmeyene.blogspot.com/2010/10/1-false-eyelashes.html">as seen here</a>). <i><br />
<span class="Apple-style-span" style="color: purple;"><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-size: x-small;"> * These lashes were horrible. The strip is made up of some sort of white paper material. So I was able to use some black glue to conceal that and apply them. They turned out looking okay, but you will never see me posting about Dollar Tree lashes without me giving them a thorough examination in the store. </span></span></i><br />
<br />
<b>:: LIPS ::</b><br />
Now this is the grand finale of the look. I started off by applying a light coat of<b> OCC Lip Tar in NSFW.</b> For just a basic red lip, this is where you’d want to stop. But for me…I had to keep going, so next I took a <b>C.O. Bigelow MenthaLip Gloss in Coral</b> (I needed a menta gloss b/c my lips were ridiculously dry) and mixed in <b>MAC Reflects Rust</b> glitter. After mixing those together I got this very thick tar-like consistency. I picked up a disposable brush and plastered my lips with this mixture…WOW. A very nice lip…I tried to get some close-ups of the lips that would showcase the reflectiveness of the look, but the pictures are an understatement…LOL.<br />
<br />
<b>:: FACE ::</b><br />
I used <b>Smashbox Photo Finish Foundation primer</b>. Then I worked with some of the <b>RCMA</b> foundations. I tried them out a few times, but I think I’ve finally got the trick to making these works and I must say I like the results that I got. For a highlight (cheeks and nose) I applied <b>MAC Bronze Hero</b> Lustre Drops with a 188-like brush and blended it out into my cheeks a little. Next I took <b>La Femme Sienna Blush </b>and applied that to my cheeks just below the lustre drops (not really a contour…just a blush color).<br />
<br />
All right…here are some more photos for you all to enjoy. I’m really loving the lips and if you went to The Makeup Show there was a preview for a product called Bionic Lips…and just adding the Reflects Glitters give me similar looking results. Has anyone else seen these in person?<br />
<br />

QOTD:<br />
Q: For my Makeup Artist (or anyone who’s tried both of these products) Do you prefer <b>RCMA</b>, <b>Cinema Secrets,</b> or <b>Graftobian</b> foundations? <br />
A: I recently picked up 2 Graftobian Crème foundation sampler palettes and I must say that these are definitely a bit creamier which would probably make these better to work with on mature/dry skin. The RCMA foundations are a little bit drier to start, but once its warmed up they perform beautifully. I’m still testing these out and need to see how they perform on different folks, but one thing I will say about Graftobian is they definitely have colors for the sistahs…seriously. I have 3 really dark skinned friends that would love the color range, so I’m going to try it out on them. I’ve never tried Cinema Secrets....ALLmEYEne...http://www.blogger.com/profile/08819910711364356520noreply@blogger.com6tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7707162989548834788.post-34053631224226309952011-07-03T10:54:00.000-04:002011-07-03T10:54:01.357-04:00Tribal-ish Look (+ Video)<a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEgZFhcl6N8jvLZeNUaA4vDRWfMlG5e_lYtYY-n_7Nf8Dxu2R6d4_LMrTLqMoRWA6zJ_CQ_ZESoGXYQZ9Lb4jZZOYOWC8mTfPn1ZH6bCAmgPpOyLD7a_6KwH2eox5A_Nbkzc-PeA7GuxCVx-/s1600/%255B2011+04+30%255D+Byron+Lars+Replica-22-2.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="clear: right; float: right; margin-bottom: 1em; margin-left: 1em;"><img border="0" height="150" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEgZFhcl6N8jvLZeNUaA4vDRWfMlG5e_lYtYY-n_7Nf8Dxu2R6d4_LMrTLqMoRWA6zJ_CQ_ZESoGXYQZ9Lb4jZZOYOWC8mTfPn1ZH6bCAmgPpOyLD7a_6KwH2eox5A_Nbkzc-PeA7GuxCVx-/s200/%255B2011+04+30%255D+Byron+Lars+Replica-22-2.jpg" width="200" /></a>So a few weeks back I inquired if anyone was interested in the look I previewed <a href="http://allmeyene.blogspot.com/2011/05/interested-in-this-tribal-ish-look.html">here</a>...I got a few response, but I decided that since I had already recorded the video I might as well finish editing and post it on my YouTube channel. I think I really enjoyed doing this look that I did it a 2nd time which is the video that you'll see below. And the Ben Nye Magicake Aqua Color are so easy to wash off...seriously just water. Now if I could only get my mascara to wash off as easily I'd be happy. So here's how I got the look...<br />

A mixture of <b>MAC Blacktrack Fluid Line</b> and <b>L'Oreal HIP Brown Cream Color Truth Liner</b>.<br />
<br />
:: EYES ::<br />
<b>MAC Arena E/S</b>, <b>Rimmel Black Lash Accelerator Mascara</b><br />
<br />
<br />
<b>:: LIPS ::</b><br />
<b>Jordana Sedona Red Lip Liner</b>, <b>MAC Red Romp Lip</b><br />
<i>* The first time I did the look, the lip color was a bit darker.</i> <br />
<br />
<br />
<b>:: FACE ::</b><br />
<b>Ben Nye MagiCake Aqua Color - Cloud White,</b> <b>Stars Makeup Haven The Great White Shadow</b> e/S, <b>La Femme Sienna Blush</b>, <b>MAC Sheersheen Loose Mineral - Sheerbronze,</b> <b>MAC Pro Longwear Concealer - NC45,</b> <b>MAC Pro Longwear Foundation - NW45</b><br />
<br />
Here's the first time I did the look. I think I like my first attempt better, however it was my first time using the MagiCake Aqua Colors so that white line was so jacked up. I believe the lip color was a combination of OCC NSFW and maybe a black lip liner? I can't remember.<br />

Here's the look featured above...this was my 2nd attempt. That white line was popping. There were some picture that I took (in automode) on my camera and the brightness of the white line threw the photos off. I think this look is more clean, except for my lack of blending around the temples.<br />

A: I have tried it before when I did the Super Base video (<a href="http://allmeyene.blogspot.com/2011/05/fotd-super-bass-yellow-freckled.html">as see here</a>) a while back. I will say that they do add a make the colors more vibrant, but I find that they are had to blend over...at least the Ben Nye color. I'm seriously trying to hold off on purchasing the MUFE Flash Color palette...but I haven't a feeling that I won't be able to hold back any longer...since I have a lot of bolder looks that I want to try out this summer....ALLmEYEne...http://www.blogger.com/profile/08819910711364356520noreply@blogger.com3
