Penguin Makeup Challenge Part 3: White and a Color

This will be the third and last part of the Penguin makeup challenge, and, unfortunately, another one-eyed look. Sorry for that! I accidentally poked myself in the eye with the mascara wand (not when painting on mascara but when I combed through my brows --> klutz!) so there was no way that eye would forgive me enough to put makeup on it. It hurt like hell so do me a favor and try to keep your mascara wands out of your eyes, ok?

The other girls's looks:
*Confusionbay
*Stargirlphoto


Well, this is the third part, and last, of the Penguin makeup challenge; white and a color. Up until I sat down to do this look I had planned to do it red and white but then I suddenly switched the red for purple. :)


Step 1. Prime your eyes with your primer of choice. After that I applied a thin layer of MAC's Studio Finish Concealer all over the lid, to erase any freckles and flaws. I also took some foundation through my brows to get them a little bit lighter. And last, but not least I applied NYX Jumbo Pencil in Milk all the way up to the eyebrow.


Step 2. First I ran Urban Decay's 24/7 Glide On Pencil in Vice softly through my brows and evened out the result with a MAC #266 brush. Then, with the same brush, I applied Poison plum by Sugarpill to set the pencil and make my brows look more purple. 


Step 3. Through the crease I applied Wisteria by Makeup Geek which is just a light, pinkish purple. To apply the eyeshadow and blend it I used a MAC #217 brush.


Step 4. With a Sigma E30 brush I applied Poison plum by Sugarpill in the "outer C" and dragged it inwards. To get a softer result I picked up my #217 again, which still had some remaining product from the previous step, and blended it out. 


Step 5. In the outermost part of the crease I applied Purple Rain by Makeup Geek, again using the "C" technique. 



Step 6. Mix Poison Plum with some sealing gel (Illamasqua) to get your own eyeliner.


Step 7. False lashes and mascara. These lashes are Red Cherry #28.

Hope you liked this look and that this tutorial taught you something you didn't already know! :) Have a lovely day and thank you for stopping by!

Birthstone: Opal

Blergh! I've caught another cold and feel rather crappy at the moment. Those of you who have read my latest couple of blog posts know that I've already been ill once this fall, so I guess this is round two for me. I'm going to load up with a lot of vitamins, which hopefully will speed up my recovery.

Anyways, last week I started my new job which is awesome. I haven't done any selling yet because we were just packing everything up and organizing the products into drawers and shelves. My co-workers are great and though I've only worked two days so far I already feel at home. :)

The look I've got for you today is the October birthstone look, which is inspired by the opal. Of all the birthstone looks this has been by far the most difficult to turn into a makeup look, because the opal contains all the colors of the rainbow, shimmer but is still just mostly a pinkish white stone. Makes sense? Well, anyway, I've always thought of opals as pastel rainbows so I decided to take my look down that track. And here's the result!



Pastel rainbow deluxe! It was unfortunately a very cloudy day and my camera didn't pick up the shimmer that well, but I'm sure you get the idea.


Despite all the colors this is a rather wearable look. Soft and colorful in the same time.

Liquid Gold was a perfect pigment to use for this look since it is kind of a green gold. :) And speaking of Makeup Geek pigments I got the 5 new shades in my mailbox yesterday. So this day has been spent swatching them and taking photos of them to show you. ^_^

Thanks for reading! :)
