Well, I decided to compile a post of my favorite looks from this past year.
Let's start sedate. I love this basic aquadisiac look with turquoise interference from sweetscents over Frostlite Fluidline. Action Artliner from Lancome. Lips are Fusion from L'Oreal Glam Shine collection
Next is my face using Leisuretime and Lucky Green shadows, but they do not stay on well unfortunately, because I LOVE this look. The shadows wore off within an hour of doing this photo and I piled it on over a base too.
Non conformist liner inner rims from Fluidline and Magnetique Lipglass on the lips. I had one of the Skinfinishes on, I think it was Pleasureflush
Next a walk on the wild side - Vanilla pigment, Chartreuse, parrot, I believe, Serenity colour dose from Lancome as highlighter. Again,, skinfinish, I think it was pleasureflush, but it could have been Porcelain pink.
Lip gloss is latte from Milani sheer lipstick line (not the yucky tasting line they have, but the one that is very much like MAC) with Old Gold gloss over it. I mixed a bit of Old Gold with Enriched Pro Gloss which is virtually the same thing but less pigment in it.
This one is one of my very favorite looks - it is such fun to wear and I feel so different than usual too. MAC out to sea powerpoint,MAC blue brown, vanilla, clear sky blue, pink opal pigments, MAC fluidline in frostlite as a base,
Face porcelain pink skinfinish, over frambosia from Kryolan blush, and gold deposit skinfinish
Lips are Madame B. EL Rose Writer liner, and Colour Juice in Shimmy Pop from L'Oreal
This is my middle of winter neon phase. I go through this every February or so until it gets nice weather. I used Rebel makeup from Hot Topic two dry and one wet- the yellow is the wet. The lipstick is from lancome and is called Pink Lacroiux or something like that. Too lazy to go check.
I was going for a wild rainbow type look
Back to more regular looks here, this is my favorite look from autumn until about Christmas when I start to get the brilliant color itch again.
I used MAC fluidlines to very accurately copy Chanel's 2004 Christmas Palette for eyes which I love. Fluidlines wears the same exact way too, which makes me wonder if they are the same formulation.
I used Dipdown, Rich Ground, Brassy, Frostlite, Blacktrack and Sweetscents White gold pigment as a highlighter along with a dot of FROST pigment from MAC under the arch of brow.
Stereo Rose skinfinish and Chanels 2004 lip palette which I am very anxious to duplicate now soon. Temperature soared that day which is why my cheeks are so red. It was 82 degrees in the house in November!
Moving on to something more exotic here, I designed a feather breastplate completely out of peacock feathers. It goes down to my waist and around my back into an egyptian style collar back.
I decided to try and put the sweetscents pigments to a gruelling test and designed this eye look for my peacock collar.
Royal Peacock, 12th night, Purple Shimmer, Satin Slipper all over coordinating shadesticks of Royal hue, Lucky Jade, Sea Me and Frostlite as a base under the brow. I will have to look up the lipstick as I can not remember exactly nor the face powder.
Of course, a guy came to the door to deliver something just as I was snapping photos.......
Now for the extreme opposite here is my skinfinish face.
My entire face, including eyes and lips were done with all of the skinfinishes that have ever come out.
Now swinging the pendulum the completely other direction, here is my Specktra one color challenge from this summer.
I used completely blue products all over my face, including lips, even though they look more purple.
Of course, the UPS man came to the door and I forgot I looked like this until I opened the door, slammed the door in his face, and shoved my little six year old out to get the package. HAHAHa
I am totally crazy about this pigment. It is called Plantation Plum from sweetscents.com and it is delightful. A beautiful plum burgundy color it has the most delicious violet blue duochrome shimmer! If you use it wet/foiled, the results are spectacular.
This is a collaboration between me and another makeup artist I just love to be around and watch work. He did the original stuff using EL (which was all he could do at the time) and I re - did it using MAC products so it would last.
I was wearing a zebra top at the time.
Another one of my neon days...
This one is because I love the fur I am wearing. The lipstick is a bright High Breed Red and on one side it has Chartreuse pro gloss over it. I was experimenting with pro gloss to see what went with my fabric.
I am going to make a full length movie star style fur coat out of this stuff soon.
And for my last favorite of the year, here is a complete change of pace....blonde ringlets and neutral makeup.
Neutral makeup for me is like - well, very unsual anyway.
face is skinfinish so ceylon porcelain pink, frambosia from kryolan blush, Milani pink chick blush,
eyes stubborn brown powerpoint, chocolate brown pigment (MAC), vanilla (MAC) pigment, Frostlite fluidline as a base,
Lips Dior lipliner in truffles, Revlon absolutely fabulous lipstick in flamingo pink, Loreal shimmy pop colour juice, and frost pigment in center of lip.
Well that is it for my favorite looks so far in 2005. Hope you had fun!
It is my birthday and nothing is going as I would like, so I thought I would spend some time sharing with you all some fun stuff like this.
