Green Color!

Was super bored yesterday... so kinda played around with my mineral eyeshadows.. lolx..

I've tried pink, purple, n blue looks b4... but not green... so i tried doing a green look yesterday. :P

I used MAD Minerals Chance as an all over eye colour.. juz a light wash of colour all over the lid..

Then I used MAD Minerals Cats Eye at the outer half of my lid.. blending it towards the inner half..

Dabbed a little MAD Minerals Aquadelic the the bottom 1/4 of my lid close to the lash line and blend...

Highlighted my brow bones with Elf Healthy Glow Bronzing Powder in Luminance..

Finally I lined my lashline and waterline with the MAC Softsparkle Eye Pencil in Peacocked from the MAC Little Darlings Set... (the 1 that looks like teal color)

Last but not least, i used Clinique High Impact Mascara... didnt do much effect to my lashes.. haha.. :(

so heres the end result:

MAC Little Darlings: 5 Coral Lipglass/Lustreglass Dupe!

As much as I love makeup, they are sometimes too pricey... That is why sometimes I like to look at the alternatives: Dupes!

Juz in case u don't know what I'm talking about, Dupe=Duplicates, means the cheaper alternative.. :)

So anyway, it was only recently I realized there was similarity between the sets of lip glosses i owned. So I took them out n swatched them n true enough, some shades do look similiar!

The sets I have are
MAC Little Darlings: 5 Coral Lipglass/Lustreglass
and
the Color institute: Shimmering Kisses

The consistency of MAC Lip Glosses are a bit more sticky than the the Color institute: Shimmering Kisses

Heres the photo!

Don't they look similiar?

Now lets have a look at the packaging:

Someone's Assignment

Here are some fotoz of myself after putting on make up to do some snapshots for some1's assigment..

I applied on my base, Everyday Minerals Kaolin Powder in Sunlight which can help absorb oil

Dusted my face with a mint colour corrector to neutralize the redness on my face. Same can be done with the Everyday Minerals Mint Colour Corrector.

I also applied a matte peach coloured eyeshadow to cover my dark circles which work wonderfully. Same can be done with the Everyday Minerals Peach Colour Corrector.

Then I used Everyday Minerals foundation in Cool - Fair Medium. Applied it with the

Flat Top Brush from Everyday Minerals

Highlighted my cheeckbones, forehead, and nose with ELF Healthy Glow Bronzing Powder in Luminance. Applied it with the MAC168SE. Mine is the short handled version.

I also did some contouring.. shaded my jaw bones and the sides of my nose with NYX Mosaic Powder in Latte.. Applied it with the same brush i used for highlighting.

Also i tried out something new.. NYX Rouge Cream Blush in N

atural.. n it looks wonderful on me... Very blendable and the colour isnt too over the top.. :) Applied it with the

MAC188SE Small Duo Fibre Face Brush dupe i bought.. :P

Eyeshadow wise, I dont remember which particular colour i used, but it was mostly Loreal's Holographic Eveyshadow Singles and also my newly purchased Loreal Hip Eyeshadow in Brazen. Love the intensity of the colours! I used different shades of browns, purples and pinks.

Also, I used a very light purple to highlight my browbones..

I used Red Earth's pencil eyeliner in Black which is my HG eyeliner although it tends to smudge after a few hours, its still super black n i love it for that.. :) couldnt find a pic of that though.. :(

Then shaded my brows with Sasa's eyebrow pencil in grey.

For lips, i used NYX round lipstick in Tea Rose and topped it off with Mac Lustreglass in Budding (if not mistaken.. its either Budding or Wonderstruck) Budding is a slightly darker shade.

So this is the end result.. TADA~!
