Grand-Palais

I Purchased This Press Sample

Hey everyone!

I just wanted to share a silvery makeup look I did using the Viseart Paris Nudes palette. Naming eye/face looks is a little difficult for me so I'm borrowing an idea from Viola at Killer Colours and titling each look after an eyeshadow I used. 

Face: 

Fenty Pro Filt'r Soft Matte Longer Foundation in 240 mixed with Sugarpill Velocity Eyeshadow to color correct for a more olive tone
Laura Mercier Translucent Setting Powder
Makeup Geek Blush in Heart Throb
theBalm Mary Lou Manizer Highlighter

Eyes:

Milani Eyeshadow Primer
Makeup Geek Beaches and Cream on the brow bone
Anastasia Warm Taupe in the crease
Viseart Paris Nudes Palette - Jeu De Palme on the upper and lower inner half, Grand-Palais on the upper and lower outer half
Meet Matt(e) Trimony Palette - Matt Ahmed on the upper outer corner
Glossier Lash Slick Mascara
Glossier Boy Brow in Black

Lips:

Colourpop Lux Lipstick in Tip Toe

Hope your Friday is well!

Nutcracker Series: Mirliton/Dance of the Reed Flutes

So I kind of failed on finishing my Nutcracker series so I shall be playing catch up on that. There are many different variations on costumes for Mirlitons; sometimes they are called Danish Shepherdesses or they're considered the Marizpan candy.

I decided to draw my inspiration for colors from this video where the costumes are grey with a black stomacher and I rather loved the French theme (a Frenchie here!)

I used my BFTE cosmetics eyeshadows that used to only be available in the Wizard of Oz-Some kit. I read from the BFTE cosmetics facebook that they'll eventually be sold separately so be on the lookout for that :)

Yummy yummy the silver sheen is amazing because I did a sandwich of PE, eyeshadow, PE and another layer of eyeshadow.

Now I live in California, specifically around Southern California and we don't get weather changes. Our definition of weather change are earthquakes and fires basically (that's what we get for living in a chaparral are)

Today Mother Nature decided we were overdue for some weather and dumped thunder, lightning and torrential rain on us. Thunder so hard and loud that car alarms in my neighborhood kept going off and rain that made me wonder when cats were going to start dropping.

Because of that I got inspired to do a dark smoky gray look using my new BFTE Wizard of Oz-Some eyeshadows. Next time I won't use Way Up High (my inner corner color) because it was way more golden toned than I had thought, using a more basic white would be better!

Also, use the tiniest bit of Twister if you get this set! I'm used to having a lot of black loose eyeshadow to get good pigmentation but you only need the tiniest bit. I had to clean up my look a bit because I had picked up more than I needed.
