MOTD: Sugarpill Heartbreaker Palette blue/purple eye

 

Over the weekend I was able to play with my friend's Sugarpill Heartbreaker Palette and this was the result! I've never tried Sugarpill I was very impressed with the intense pigment of the shadows  LOVE!  Can't wait to try some of their other products.  What are your favorites?

I also used Violet Voss glitter in Fairy Dust for added touch of glitter to the lower lash line and Alter Ego Lashes Stop & Stare and Final Touch stacked.

MOTD: Holiday Inspired Makeup with NYX Cosmetics

I'm a little late figuring out the settings on my camera (1 year later) but I am so happy that I did! Pictures are clear and the colors are vibrant. I have been getting a lot of people asking me why I have a glowing ring in my eyeballs.  That is the reflection from my new lighting! Gotta have good lighting for makeup pictures/videos especially when you do everything at night around 11pm.

Anyways here's today's festive look!

 1. Prime lid with NYX Cosmetics Jumbo Eye Pencil in Sparkle Green.  This is how I achieved the vibrant green on the lid.  The green is gorgeous even used on it's own.
2. NYX Cosmetics Love In Rio En Fuego Eye Shadow Palette  The middle color (purple burgandy shade) used above the crease.
3. NYX Cosmetics Love In Paris C'est La Vie  Eye Shadow Palette for highlight, crease and lid.
4. NYX Cosmetics Roll On Shimmer Nude with Liquid Crystal Liner Crystal Champagne (the new color is now Crystal Silk) for bottom liner.
5. Line eye with NYX Gel Liner in Jet Black. I even used this product very lightly for my brows but I mixed it with the dark brown gel liner too.
5. Lashes are House of Lashes Pixie Luxe with Bohemian Princess stacked on top of each other
Can't forget about the @hairandmakeupaddiction brushes to create this look

Tutorial/Get Ready With me - Shimmer Rose Makeup with MAC Rose Pigment

Last weekend I was cleaning out my makeup collection and I came across MAC Rose Pigment.  I totally forgot about this color and I remember it use to be one of my favorite pigments.  It is a beautiful pinkish golden infused pigment.  I really wanted to use this color for a tutorial since I need to add some "colorful" looks for my Youtube channel.

I have been getting so many requests for more videos.  I give a lot of credit to the beauties who can produce and edit a couple of videos a week and at the same time be able to manage everyday life.  It's like a 2nd job to blog, film, and post.  I recently made a schedule for myself - every Thursday 1 YouTube tutorial and at least a couple times a week for posts.  So far I've been able to do this without any problems.   It's such a great feeling getting so much support from you guys, I appreciate it so much! It really makes me want to do more and more, and I am working so hard to give you guys what you want! :) So instead of video where I talk the whole time I might as well do a "getting ready with me" makeup video.  At least you can see how I achieve a full look.  The speed is pretty fast but you can pretty much see all the steps that I am doing. I am interested how you guys like this ...

MOTD: Blue/Orange Colorful Eye

 I just love the Morphe Brushes  35 Color Glam Palette!! Look how pigmented the colors I used to create this look. First I used NYX Cosmetics  Jumbo Eye Pencil in Electric Blue to make the lid color really pop. I just applied this on top of my eye shadow primer that I use regularly. I really like the NYX Jumbo Eye Pencils because they come in a variety of colors to enhance your lid shadow. The lashes are Alter Ego Lashes in  Pixie Dusters. Of course I had to add just a tiny bit of glitter to my inner tear duct - Eye Kandy Cosmetics glitter in Confetti. I love Confetti because it's a silver holographic that can be worn with any color combination.

I've been so behind at posting some new content! To be caught up with me and my makeup adventure you can find me on INSTAGRAM -- VILLABEAUTIFFUL (don't forget the double FF's!)

MOTD: City Color Cosmetics Blue/Purple

Today's MOTD are some of the colors that I have been reviewing this week from City Color Cosmetics.  You can create a beautiful look with an affordable brand!

 To create this look I used the City Color Blue and Purple Multi Shade Eye Shadow Palette with the City Color Eye Shadow Primer to make the colors really vibrant.  A great tip that I like to share when using brighter colors is to pack the color on the lid with a flat brush instead of sweeping it back and forth.  When you do this you layer on more color to build upon each other. On my cheeks is the City Color Cosmetics  Intense Blush Quad Collection 1.  Lips are City Color Cosmetics Matte Lipstick in Mauve.  Can't forget my lashes!!! Mink Alter Ego Lashes   in Pixie Dusters, check out the up close picture.

For more information and swatches of these products check out my past posts.

P.S. I used a different setting on my camera  for this look then the rest of my pictures.  Don't know how I feel about the saturation of the colors.  Will need to experiment more.

MOTD: NYX Love In Rio Love Is A Cha Cha

I haven't posted a MOTD forever!!! Sorry for all of you have been waiting for some new looks with some step by step instructions. 

As you know I am really into purple eye shadows.  There is just something about purple that I love to wear on my eyes.  So here's another purple eye shadow combination that I just couldn't pass up on especically when the trio of shadows are so pigmented.

I love NYX Cosmetics not only for their amazing value but how well their products perform especially their eye products.  The Jumbo Eye Pencils are my favorite go to primer to make eye shadows POP! If you need a recommendation on which one to choose (they have several different colors) MILK is the #1 choice.  It's a matte white that will work with any color combination but I really like to use it for bright colors. 

  Here are the steps to create the look. 
1. NYX Jumbo Eye Pencil in Oyster as your base.  As your highlighter apply NYX Ultra Pearl Nude Loose Eye Shadow.
2. NYX Love In Rio Love Is A Cha Cha lighter color all over the lid
3. Middle color which is a deeper purple all over the crease.  Apply this shade with detailed definer brush and blend out with a blending brush.
4.  Take your detailer brush and apply the darker shade right in the outer corners of the eyes for definition.  For added drama add a matte black eye shadow.
5. Line your eyes top and bottom and give it a little wing.
6.  Lashes used for this look are House Of Lashes Siren.  OMG I am obsessed!!! They remind me of MAC 35 Lash!!!!
7.  Brows are  Anastasia Beverly Hills Tinted Brow Gel Espresso and Brow Genius Kit in Brunette.
To make this look complete NYX Strawberry Milk was used on the lips along with NYX Mocha Blush and NYX Narcissistic Illuminator right above it. 
 I used Makeup Addiction Brushes in The Detailer and The Blender

I hope you guys like this look, as it is one of my new favorites.  I will be posting new YouTube tutorials next month.  Don't forget to follow me on Facebook and Instagram!

MOTD: Prom Makeup Mint Green Dress

 I love Stephanie's prom dress color, it is a light mint green.  I didn't want to do a heavy makeup style for this dress but instead I opted for something more light and spring like.  I wish the camera captured the pretty golden shimmery shadow around the eye and the glitter.  It looks so pretty in person.  MAC Creme Cup Lipstick is my favorite all around light pink lipstick as it looks great on everyone.

MAC Mylar Eye Shadow - Highlight

MOTD: Prom 2013 Makeup Inspiration

My prom was over 10 years ago (wow, really has it been that long?) I remember trying to think how I wanted my hair and makeup done but during that time there was only Seventeen and Teen magazine to look for inspiration.  Now all these teenagers have amazing sources for hair and makeup inspiration via the internet.  During the next couple of months (April-June) I will be posting a look to complement a dress that one of my followers have tagged on Instagram.  Thought this would be a good way for me to start doing daily MOTD'S again :)

Tutorial: 2013 Pantone Color of the Year EMERALD

PANTONE 17-5641 Emerald, a lively, radiant, lush green, is the Color of the Year for 2013. (according to their website). You will see this color everywhere from fashion to home textiles.

What is Pantone you ask? "Pantone is a standardized color matching system, utilizing the Pantone numbering system for identifying colors. By standardizing the colors, different manufacturers in different locations can all reference a Pantone numbered color, making sure colors match without direct contact with one another." (http://www.colorguides.net/pantone.html). Every year the company comes out with selected colors to feature for the season and one for the year. To learn more about Pantone please click  http://www.pantone.com/pages/index.aspx?pg=21055

 I really love how rich this color is, it's a great color to work in your makeup routine.  If you are not brave enough to try the Emerald all over your eye try applying it as an eyeliner for a pop of color.  The possibilities are endless.

I will be focusing on all the Spring 2013 Fashion Color Report Colors below for future videos and MOTD'S. I love all the colors and can't wait to create some amazing looks for all of you.

Here are the products that I used to create this look:

Infallible golden emerald, endless pearl, iced latte
Elf 144 eye shadow palette matte green
Maybelline Fit Foundation 310 (I am usually a MAC Nc40/NC42
Revlon photo ready bb cream medium
Model 21 eyelashes 19t 31
Wet n wild goddess bronzer
Elf blush tickled pink

MOTD: Urban Decay Vice Palette Look1

 

Urban Decay Vice Palette colors -  Provocateur, Laced, Echo Beach, and Junkie.

MOTD: Purple Glittery Smokey Eye

 I LOVE PURPLE and I LOVE GLITTER!!!

I am going to make this quick and edit later, I just wanted to get these pics out before I post MYMOTD on Instagram this evening.
Please subscribe to my blog as I will be hosting a special contest for all my blog readers out there.  Please leave a comment on what type of contests you would like to see :)  I have lots of makeup to share.

 

Time for a glittery purple smokey eye! Eye Shadows - white, purple, light brown and black from the #Wetnwild Color Icon Palette I Love Matte.  This palette is amazing especially for a brand that can be found at a drugstore.  I could only find it at Walgreens.  Swatches and in depth review in a later post.  Lips are Covergirl Lipstick #330 Divine

 To make this look extra special I packed on Eye Kandy Cosmetics glitter in Tiny Tart.  P.S. The Liquid Sugar Glitter Glue is AMAZING! Did not irritate my eyes at all.  They have a large selection of glitters, literally colors of the rainbow.  I will be featuring more colors for future MOTD's.



Now to top off my glittery purple smokey eye why not pair it with some Violet Noir lashes from FAUX. Look closely, do you see the purple feathers mixed in with the falsie?? Adds an added dramatic flair to the makeup.





Here's more close up pictures!

MOTD: Golden/Pink Eye with Masquerade Cosmetics

Recently, I found Masquerade Cosmetics on Instagram and was instanly drawn to their bright colored shadows, I knew I had to get my hands on them.  From their pictures the eye shadows were so richly pigmented very similar to Makeup Forever.  I couldn't wait to try some of their products.  Masquerade Cosmetics is an Australian based company but they do ship Internationally.

The colors I used to create this look are the following :

Masquerade Shimmer Powder #67

Warm golden shimmer placed on the lid

Masquerade Eye Shadow #87

Pretty golden pink shade blended in the crease 

I've been looking for a color like this forever.  It's hard to find a shade like this that's not too gold this shadow has just the right amount of pink and gold.  Looks fab with medium to tan skintones. 

Masquerade Shimmer Powder #96

Bright magenta pink with touches of silver sparkle added to the outer corners of the eyes. I adore this color especially when you mix it with the gold shimmer powder, looks lovely!

Masquerade Eye Shadow #495

Muted purple grey to add depth in the outer corner crease.  I can't wait to pair this with a smokey eye!

Lashes are the SASHA Lash from FAUXLASH.COM.  Check out my post about these lashes HERE

Can't wait to create more looks with Masquerade Cosmetics!

MOTD: Gorgeous Gold with a mix of blues and turquoise

MAC Gorgeous Gold, Freshwater, Plumage and Haunting (Limited Edition).

Trying a new layout for the MOTD'S on Instagram.  Thought it would be nice to showcase the colors that I use so you can see what the actual colors looked like and see if you have colors that are similar.

I am sorry that I have not been posting any new material, been busy planning my wedding, vacationing and beau-TIFF-ing  up brides for their special day.  Promise I'll post more on a regular basis.  :)

MOTD: Neon Trend With Sleek Acid Palette

Every time I see neon colors especially the electrifying yellow I always think of the 80's.  I am a 80's child, I was always drawn to the sparkle of Gem And The Holograms and the wild bright outfits of Punky Brewster (what happened to that girl? hmm). Summer 2012 you can see neon everywhere from fashion, to home decor and of course beauty.

If you like BRIGHT, BOLD colors the Sleek Acid Palette is for you.   I mentioned in my other posts with looks from this palette that you cannot get this palette in the US through www.sleekmakeup.com you will need to find a reputable seller on Ebay.  I have bought all my Sleek Makeup through there and they are legit and at times get free shipping which is a major plus!
Click here for past post on my review for Acid Palette

I was inspired to use these colors from a shirt that I found at H&M.
I added MAC Waveline Fluidline for the pop of blue/purple for the lower liner.  I thought it would add a different more colorful approach then using ordinary black.

If you would like to see 2 other looks I create with this palette please click the following links:

Do you like the neon trend right now ? I do!

MOTD: Teal/purple brown eye

Who knew that teal and  purple/brownish shade would look good together.  I am using the Limited Edition Sleek Makeup Monaco Palette.  Will update this post once I get some swatches together from this palette.

MOTD: Sleek Makeup Acid Palette Pink/Purples

This is has to be one of my new favorite looks that I have done in a long time.  Can you believe I only used 3 colors? Hot pink for the area above the crease, black in the crease and a bright purple for the lid.  I am so addicted to the ACID palette so many bright colored combinations you can achieve.

Please let me know if you have any requests for any looks.  :)

MOTD: Acid Palette - Pinks, and Yellow

Playing with the ACID Palette from Skeek Makeup... UHM I LOVE I LOVE!!!! So bright and pigmented.

MOTD: Pink, Tan, White Prom Look 1

I've been getting a lot of requests for Prom looks since a lot of teenagers are anticipating their proms in a couple of weeks.  I remember my Prom so many years ago and this look would perfectly match the dress that I wore that night.  It was a pink 2 piece with silver rhinestones. Man, I miss those days getting all glammed up and going out with friends to enjoy the night.  My date was a childhood friend whom I've known since 3rd grade.  It was such a fun night! 

Anyways back to the makeup. 

For the look I used all MAC makeup since you can find counters and stores all over the place. 

-You may use any highlighter shade you prefer, for this look I used Brule. 

- MAC Passionate Eye Shadow (Crease). Best when applied with a blending brush such as the MAC #224 for a soft diffused crease. 

-MAC Ricepaper/MAC Bamboo Eye Shadows (inner and outer lid).  Take a flat brush and pat a mixture of this color just to the inside and outside of the lid, keep the center open for the next color. Blend the color with the pink that you previously blended in the crease.

-MAC Crystal Avalanche Eye Shadow with MAC Silver Dusk Iridescent Powder  (center of lid and lower eye)  By placing a lighter color in the center of the lid will make your eyes pop!  Also smudge this color on the bottom lash line to open up the eyes.

-Don't forget your lashes, any style would work well.  If you like you can also add a little bit of the shimmer powder in the inside corner of your eye like what I did for the picture.
