Big Lashes and Sparkles!

A few of my favorite things! =D

I was watching xsparkage's pop rocks video and when she used that black Sugarpill color with the rainbow sparkles I knew I needed to dig out Fyrinnae Immortality and use it. So this look is inspired by but definitely NOT intended to be a dupe of her look.

MAC Pigment swatches!

Finally got my act together and did swatches for all of my MAC Pigments. I will update this list as I get more but it's not very often that I buy them.

I swatched all of these with a damp brush which does make the sparkle a bit more apparent than it would seem in person.

Enjoy!

Is it Fall yet?

Yes, it was only about 7 months ago that I was complaining it was too cold. Whatever, I'm tired of it being hot now :)

So, in anticipation of cooler weather in other parts of the US, here's an Autumn-y look for you.

My Zombie Child: A trip into the world of SFX makeup

I have never attempted any type of special effects makeup, if it couldn't be accomplished with regular makeup I just didn't do it.

I decided that this year I would try it, I have plans to be a zombie nurse (a la silent hill, though not nearly as creepy lol) and my child wants to be a zombie school girl.

I should mention here that my model is my 4 year old daughter so if a zombie-esque small child bothers you, you may not want to continue reading.

So, I saw that Halloween Express had opened and went in to see what I could see. I came across something called scab blood, which is a thick syrup-y substance that dries and then you can 'pick' it to make it look super gross. I also found something called scar skin, which a wax based fiber-y putty type stuff that you can mold to whatever shape you like.

Armed with these two products, a matte 88 eyeshadow palette, Hard Candy concealer palette and some tooth picks and q-tips; I got to work. Here is what I came up with, I think for Halloween I will do a bit more but this was just a trial run to see if I could create what I had in my mind.

Fyrinnae Mephisto and Fan Service Lip Lustre and Evil Shades Gossamer!

I love these colors so much and though I have worn them separately, I've never put them on in the same makeup look. I love the way this turned out though so be be prepared for more pictures than usual!

To start with, let's talk about Gossamer, if you read my blog you will know this was a request fulfilled by the lovely Andrea at Evil Shades Cosmetics. This does not impart a lot color since it's a pale pink but the thing that makes this blush insanely gorgeous is that blue sheen it gives.
See?


Next, let's talk about Mephisto. This appears to be your run of the mill deep purple in the jar but if you looks closer you'll see that this is a royal blue with a fine red shimmer blended in.
Love!




Now for Fan Service, this thing is straight lavender purple...no way around that but the formula is so easy to sheer out and make wearable, especially for paler skinned people. I put a glittery gloss over it so it does appear a bit pinker than it actually is in the photos.



Alright then, if you made through all that drivel here's a product list :)

MAC Greens and NYX Orange!

yeah I was feeling really creative to come up with that title...

Anywho, I haven't used NYX Orange in awhile and I'm not sure if I posted a look with it. It's a beautiful color even though it looks so orange in the pan. If you are a fan of peachy blushes definitely give this one a try.
