Hi everyone,

A while ago I was asked to redo an old MAC look for binasheikh1974. The look she requested was this old MAC Facechart
The look I did in August 2008 was this one (click on picture for the old post):

I redid the look on Nouk, and I created this eye on her:

I used a mixture of Make Up For Ever, HD Primer in 001 Neutral and Smashbox, Photo Op Under Eye Brightener all over her face to brighten up her complexion. I used the Make Up For Ever, HD Foundation in 155 Medium Beige on Nicole's face to create a slightly darker canvas. I applied this with the Make Up For Ever Finishing Brush 20N. With my finger I applied Smashbox, Camera Ready Concealer in no.2 Light Ivory and I topped this with Make Up For Ever, Lift Concealer in 3 Neutral Beige. I applied an old rose blush by Smashbox on the apples of her cheeks giving her a little of an innocent flush.

On her eyes I used Bourjois, Shimmering Shine Liquid Eyeshadow in 37 Blanc Chrome, on the inner corners I applied Urban Decay's DeLuxe Eyeshadow in Adore, blending this in the crease. To apply this I used a Models Own Angled Eyeliner Brush. The eyeliner that I used is the Stila - Smudge Pot in Jet Black and my Smashbox - Arced Liner Brush no. 21 , on my eyes I used it only on the outer corner, but on Nouk's eyes I used it as a full line because her eyes are a very different shape then mine. I started with a thin line making it thicker and giving it a slight flick on the outer corner. The mascara Nouk is wearing is Rimmel Sexy Curves in Intense Black 003.

Great Summer look

Hi everyone,

I thought I'd come back with an amazing (and easy) summer look for you ladies. I hope this makes my absence of the last few months a little better ;) .

Face:
I've been soooo busy, that the first day I was free, I had I did a complete face for you. I'm starting to get more and more freckles because of the sun, which I love and hate at the same time. I love how it makes me look younger for some reason, but also it makes my skin look less flawless, which I don't love.

I started by cleaning my face using Shiseido - Extra Gentle Cleansing Foam followed by Shiseido - Daily Moisture Protection. I then used my favourite eyecream ever, it's by Elizabeth Arden and is called Prevage - Eye Anti-aging Moisturizing Treatment. I used Smashbox - Illuminating Serum to give my complexion more of a glow. This serum can't be bought seperately, they do however still sell it it the Smashbox - Master's Class Vol. 4 Rescue Beauty on the Sephora website. To make my eyes look more awake I used Smashbox - Photo Op Under Eye Brightner.

I used the Smashbox - Primer Light as a primer because it's the middle of summer here and it's sooo warm outside that every bit of makeup disappears if I don't use the Light primer.

To contour my face I used Baked Fusion Soft Lights by Smasbox, which is a Twice baked bronzer that looks amazing on my skin, on the apples I used a very light pink blush also by Smashbox called Soft Lights.

Eyes:

To prime my eyes I used Urban Decay - Eye Shadow Primer Potion. Urban Decay is bringing out a lot of primers right now

Complexion Primer Potion - Pore Perfecting which should minimize pores and fine lines
Complexion Primer Potion - Brightening which should brighten and diminish fine lines and pores according to their website
Eyelash Primer Potion which should make lashes appear thicker, longer and stronger
Lip Primer Potion which should make lipstick truer, apply smoother, last longer, and will not fade or feather, also it has an SPF of 15.

On my eyes I used a palette also by Urban Decay called Get Baked. This palette contains four eyeshadows (Twice Baked, Half Baked, Flipside and Baked) there is a mini 24/7 Glide-On Eye Pencil in the colour Bourbon and a mini Sin primer

I already primed my eyes with the normal Primer Potion by Urban Decay because I didn't want my eyes to be overly shimmery. On the inside corner of my eyelid I used Baked which is the lighter golden colour. I used this because this adds a sparkle to the inner eyecorner, this eyeshadow was applied with the Urban Decay - Wonder Brush. On the middle of the eyelid I placed Half Baked with the Urban Decay - Shadow Brush. I pressed the colour in to get this colour depth, I then blended the colours using a little smudging movement. On the outer corner I placed Twice Baked in a < shape with the Urban Decay - Wonder Brush and blended it with the Urban Decay - Crease Brush. To ensure the top was blended perfectly I used Smashbox - Vanilla matte eyeshadow with the Smashbox - Shadow Brush which is a very fluffy brush that eases the blending.

On the lower lashline I used the Twice Baked shadow with a Wonder Brush that I moistened with Make Up For Ever - Mix and Fix Spray because this means the eyeshadow won't budge the entire day. I applied the Twice Baked only on the outer corner. I then cleaned the brush and dried most of the water off on a paper towel and wetted it again with the Fixer Spray and made a paste with the Flipside shadow and applied this to the inner half of the lower lashline. I then let it dry and blended it with the Twice Baked and a little more Flipside.

On my waterlines I used the Bourbon and I also used this on the outer third of my top lashline. As a mascara I used Dior - Diorshow Iconic.

Lips:
On my lips I'm wearing Urban Decay - Rush. This colour is almost my real lipcolour and is therefor the perfect colour for my lips.

Nails:
The nailpolish I'm wearing is Custom Kicks by China Glaze. This colour is a bright blue but it also has a little warmth that you don't see on the pictures, but it real life it has a minimal gold shimmer in it that's amazing. The only downside of this polish is that it chips very very quickly (I've never had this problem with China Glaze polishes, so maybe it's a fluke), and also for some reason I also had trouble with the brush (it was not filled with polish or overfilled with polish) and the polish bubbled. So the colour is jawdroppingly beautiful but the application is IELGH.

Hi everyone,

My nails and my sister's art inspired me to do these eyes on my sister.

I used the Urban Decay DeLuxe shadows in Fishnet on her eyelids, Peace on the ball of the eye, Ransom in her crease and Adore on the outer corner and her lower lashline.

The mascara I used on her lashes is Givenchy, Phenomen'Eyes.

Hi everyone,

It's been a while since I did an eyelook, and I have this one I'll type up later today. I just had to show you this picture first. I did my hair in a 70's style (loose curls & half up) and I had to make my eyes up to match. Off course I still have the blue nails... so inspiration enough.

Final eye:

Face
I started on a clean moisturized face using Dior, Dior Bronze Anti-aging Sun Cream ( Moderate Tanning ) SPF 15 to help my skin in the sun today and give it a little of a fake tan later on. After about 2 hours outside I decided to go shopping and I wanted to do a vibrant blue eye that was perfect for spring. As I'm as pale as a vampire, I had to add a little extra colour to make the spring colours pop, so I used Lancaster, Infinite Bronze Face Bronzer with 15 SPF on my face, I didn't want to wear any foundation or help with any shining, so I used only that on my skin, no primer or anything. To make me look very sunkissed I added Chanel, Bronze Universal which is a Sun illuminator, I applied this on my temples, under my cheekbones and jawline and on my nose, forehead and chin with my Sephora Brand - Professionnel Platinum Stippling Brush no. 44 which means I contoured and bronzed with this product. On my cheekbones I used a little Benefit, Moonbeam which gives a healthy glow.

Eyes
I wanted to look very fresh, and even though I didn't wake up with dark circles under my eyes, I did wanted to add a little brightning there, so I used Smashbox, Camera Ready Full Coverage Concealer in no. 2 followed by powder (only under my eyes to set the concealer) with Make Up For Ever - HD Invisible Cover Foundation. As a primer on my eyelids I used Urban Decay - Primer Potion. As a base colour (keeping the shine theme going here) I used Urban Decay, Sin eyeshadow followed by a little Urban Decay, Toasted on my eyelid and under my eye using the Smashbox, no. 15 Definer Brush. I drew the blue line with Make Up For Ever - Aqua Eyes in Iridescent navy blue (15L) first to give the eyeshadow something to stick to and to create the perfect line (make sure you sharpen your pencil first). To deepen the blue line up I used Urban Decay - Adore on top of the liner with a small flat brush, pushing the colour into the Iridescent navy blue. To make the eyes look more awake I used the White from the Bourjois Noir & Blanc Eyeliner and topped that off with the Cream side of the Coffee & Cream Bourjois liner on my waterline. Mixing these colours makes it less harsh then the white alone. I brushed my brows into place and curled my lashes with my Shu Uemura lashcurler and coated my lashes with one coat of Diorshow, Iconic in 090 Black.
