mas unias de halloween-disenios en 5 minutos

hoy 31 de octubre ya a ultimo minuto se me ocurrio hacer estos disenios tan simples, solo use esmalte rojo, negro, blanco, verde y glitter azul, son de lo mas sencillo de hacer los hice en 5 minutos pero se ven bonitos, la idea se me ocurrio porque hoy fui a la tienda y vi unos sets de unias falsas que eran mucho mas simples que los que yo pinte y costaban como 3.99 dolares!!! asi que pense yo puedo pintar algo mejor y es mucho mas divertido que solo pegarte las unias, asi que aqui les dejo estos disenios.


HAPPY HALLOWEEN!!!!!

 labios de vampiro!!

 ensangrentadas!!

Happy Halloween!!

So in my thinking about what to do for Halloween, I finally decided to do a Drag Queen look.  I just think drag makeup is so much fun with all of the glitter and bright colors and just how dramatic it is.  I've only tried to cover my eyebrows one other time and it didn't work out that well because the glue stick I had was junk.  So I made sure to get some Elmer's glue this time!  So here's my final look!

My daughter took this picture.  I don't have a costume haha so this is what I'm wearing. 

I had sooo much fun doing this!  For real, this was the most fun I've ever had doing makeup.  I know you can't really see the sparkles (any advice on how to get glitter to show up on camera???) but I swear they're there.  I used Petrilude's video (the glue stick method) to help me cover my brows.  It worked pretty well.  You could still kinda see where my brows were, even after foundation, concealer, and powder, but with the eyeshadow on it really doesn't matter.  Oh, just f.y.i, shadow doesn't like to apply as nicely on glue as it does on skin.

Then to draw on my new brows I used the brown ELF studio cream liner ($3 at Target) and it worked PERFECTLY!  I was worried about them not looking right but I think they look great!

What I used:

Too Faced Shadow Insurance

88 palette (dark turquoise blue)

NYX "Black" eyeshadow

Inglot shadows 371 M (bright blue), 352 M (skintone color)

NYX JEP "Milk" right under new brow and all over lid

NYX silver liner

NYX ultra pearl manias "Lime" and "Yellow"

Jesse's Girl sparkly white/gold pigment

Bed Head White Eyeshadow under brow

Bobbi Brown "Black Ink" gel liner

MAC "Blacktrack" fluidline

Kat Von D lashes from the Tattoo Chronicles Palette

L'oreal Voluminous Carbon Black

Face:

ELF blush/bronzer duo

NYX "Taupe" blush to contour

A random no name pink blush I have

Inglot 351 M to highlight under eyes

Same Jesse's Girl pigment to highlight cheeks and add sparkle

Lips:

A brown eyeliner

MAC "Pink Friday" lipstick

MAC "Right Image" cremesheen glass

And then I teased my hair like crazy, which is not my thing at all haha.

This was so much fun to do!  For real, if you ever have a chance to rock some drag makeup, do it!  Ashii had suggested that I do a drag look like forever ago and I've wanted to I just didn't have anywhere to wear it haha.  So trick-or-treating here I come!  I hope you guys all have fun and stay safe!!!  Take pictures and show me what you're being!!!

BEYOND easy last minute Halloween idea... a Golden Goddess look

I know there has to be people like me out there who like the whole going all out for Halloween idea, you just don't happen to be going to any parties so you have a hard time justifying buying a costume.  So that's where it can be tricky to figure out what to do because you want to do something that still looks good whether you have a real costume or not.  So I came up with this SUPER easy idea that really only has one main product that makes the whole look.

What you need: a golden toned pigment.  Yup.  That's pretty much it.  I used a Jesse's Girl (I know they're sold at Walgreens, I'm not sure if they're in the other drugstores or not) glittery pigment that, when you look at the product in the container looks more white than gold, but when you swatch it, you definitely see the gold.

I used a primer on my lid first (as always) and then I mixed a bit of the pigment with some water and made an almost paste-like consistency (just slightly more watery).  I applied that all over my lid up to the crease and in the inner corner of my eye and the outer third of my bottom lid.  This technique, where you wet a pigment, is called foiling.  I've only tried it a few times before.  It makes the pigment more metallic looking and makes them more intense.

From the foiled part, I blended a bit of the dry pigment up to a matte highlight color (for Halloween, I'd probably do this a shimmery color though).  I added a light, basic winged liner.  And then I went bananas adding that same pigment to my cheekbones.  Like bananas (which you cannot see well in the pictures but I swear I look like a metallic sparkly fairy or something haha).  To make that more metallic, I did one spray of my MAC Fix + spray on the back of my hand and stippled my Sonia Kashuk stippling brush in it, then I stippled over top of the pigment I had added to my cheekbones.  While that was still damp, I added more pigment on top of it so it was ridiculously sparkly and golden.

For my lips, I applied Revlon's "Nude Attitude" matte lipstick and took the same pigment and patted it on top of the lipstick.

And then for hair, I'd probably do loose waves with a gold headband or something (I literally had to run to get my daughter off the bus after I did this, so I didn't make this as well done as I should have) and DEFINITELY gold jewelry (which I don't own, I wear white gold or silver).  And if I personally were going to wear this look on Halloween, I'd just rock jeans (or a white skirt or dress) and a plain white t-shirt because I think you'd get the idea of what I was going for without my actually having a costume.  Of course, it would be better if you had a costume, but if you don't this can still work.

And once I finished doing this, I got to go to my daughter's bus stop (which is at someone's house) looking like a golden glittery crazy person haha.  I wondered if I should have told them why I was wearing that makeup but I just left it alone haha, we'll just let them think I'm insane haha.  I know you can't tell from the pictures but I swear, it's SOOO sparkly!

I hope this helps someone out there whether you're wearing a real costume or not!  A few minor details would really make this look, I just wasn't prepared to do this haha, it just came to me.  I hope you all are having a great week!  Let me know what you're going to be for Halloween, I always like hearing what people are being!

facets of fuchsia-revlon (lippmann dupe?)

Hace ya mas de un mes vi en el blog de the trace face philes un post sobre la nueva coleccion de la marca  revlon y al principio no llamo mi atencion ninguno de ellos, pero cuando por fin lo vi en la tienda decidi comprar ''facets of fuchsia'' que es un esmalte con base negra y glitter mediano en forma de hexagono y tambien glitter pequenio color fuchsia, al investigar en google sobre el lei en varios blogs que este era un''dupe'' osea similar a otro esmalte llamado bad romance de deborah lippmann, yo no poseo ese esmalte pero vi fotos de el y es identico!!! asi que imaginen mi felicidad de haber comprado uno similar a ese que es mucho mas caro, el de revlon solo me costo $3.50 en target y el de lippmann creo anda en alrededor de 18 dlls, y aparte es una marca muy dificil de conseguir aca en mexico, aqui les dejo unas fotos aunque en persona es mucho mas bello y mi celular no le favorece mucho en las fotos.


p.d.: En las siguientes fotos llevo puestas 3 capas de ''facets of fuchsia'' pero creo que hubiera sido mejor haber aplicado un color negro de base y ese arriba :D, tambien una aclaracion las fotos de ''facets of fuchsia'' de revlon fueron tomadas por mi y puse una foto de ''bad romance'' de lippmann para que comparen pero esa foto la saque de este blog  obsessive cosmetic hoarders unite

esta foto no es mia la tome prestada de el blog  obsessive cosmetic hoarders unite
