Lookbook: vamping up the place

I simply love the classic pinup look. Enough said.

Lookbook: Natural

Natural Look- Nude lip with minimal color on the eye

I decided that I am going to go for a more natural look today.

I went with all the bronze & browns in my Urban Decay: Book of Shadows III palette with medium green for the crease. The browline was dusted with a gold colour with flecks of glitter in it- also Urban Decay.
Also used Urban Decay's black eyeliner that came in the Book of Shadows.
Mascara used is one of my favorites- Smashbox LashDNA.

The lips are actually Infallible by Lo'real. I own a red lipcolour by them as well & am very impressed with how long this stays applied to lips, even though it doesn't stay put the entire six hours as advertised.

My face has 2 coats of MAC StudioFix pressed powder- one applied with sponge & the next applied with a brush. 

Halloween 2010: Hair & Makeup fit for a Ringleader

Driving to Work

The way I did it for the club

For the overall makeup, I knew that I wanted to have the red lips- that was a given. For the eyes, I wasn't sure whether to go with a smoky eye for a candy colored eyelid. I went with the smoky eye because I was afraid that paired with the red lips, the candy colored would make me look more circus... Like a clown. Luckily, I have a smoky pallette in my Caboodle so the challenge was the lips. I had to find a red lipcolor in CVS because my job screwed up my schedule so that I couldn't go to MAC like I wanted to. So I started looking through the brands and after ending up with a red sticky hand, I just ended up getting the color from the collection Beyonce endorses.

For the hair, I wanted ringlet curls, but since I'm pretty much only handy with a flat iron I ended up side sweeping it into a slicked back ponytail with a sidepart. That worked for Saturday night because it was hot as  hell in the club. On Sunday, to work I attempted to curl it with my sister's curling iron but that also proved to be an epic fail. Lol at least my hair was decent enough to be let down.
