Find old favorites!


 
Hey you guys!


One of my favorite things about changing up my makeup style is finding things I haven't used in ages, especially things that were in my 'can't live without' bag at one point! Today I found three old-ass Lancome single shadows in the purple family. These were some of the first bright colors I dared wear out in public, and I loved sporting them again today!

I wish I had a pictorial type thing here to post. Next time, promise :) I'll just show some pictures and give you a list of products after!

Well, here it is. My naked face, in all it's red and dark circled glory! The only thing I have on is a heavy duty lip balm from Clinique to give it time to soak in for my lipstick.




This is the finished look, pre-hair!

Here's how I did my full foundation, concealer, and powder!


Here's how I did my contour, highlight, and blush!


Here's how I did my brows!









And here are some quick and dirty shots of my eye look! I don't have a tutorial filmed for this yet unfortunately. I'll do a run down of what I did to create this look!

I primed my eyes with Too Faced Shadow Insurance, then added NYX Jumbo eyeshadow pencil in Milk to the inner half of my lids, and blended. I added Urban Decay 24/7 Liner in Ransom and Vice to the remaining half of my lid, with Vice going to the very outer corner. This gives a good base for shadows to press onto and will make the colors pop!

I then added the three shades to the lid. I pressed them each on rather than sweeping so they would adhere to the primers. Tailored was first, and went where Milk was placed. I added Luring over Ransom and softly blended Trendy over Vice, increasing the space the shadow was using. I kept blending until I was satisfied with the look. Then I took Lorac 3D Liquid Luster silver and dabbed the tiniest bit on my lids to get that amazing shimmer look!

I finished with a line of Maybeline Master Precise liner pen in black, amped up with Too Faced Better Than Sex mascara on my lashes. On the bottom lash line I added the same liners from darkest to lightest, and added their coordinating shadows on top. I lined my waterline with Urban Decay 24/7 in perversion (seriously, so beautiful and dark and long lasting!) As my final touch was adding a very small about of my 3D luster on the inner corners of my eyes!

I hope you liked this look, and that my instructions made some sense! Let me know in the comments what you'd like to see, or if you have any questions!
