Buxom Hot Ticket

All I can say is that I love this kit! Beagle is beautiful!! I really wish I did not use steel as a crease colour because it takes away from the beauty of beagle. Using a light pink or white highlighter with beagle and the Black Jasper liner looks awesome--I should have stopped there. It is the perfect look for a summer wedding, really it is just a great look. I used Saturday as the highlight but Tiara, snowflake, snow or any pale pink would look great. I think Beagle is my new favorite buxom pup!

Bare Escentuals Color Shift: Lilac/Grey and Bronze/Green

Before I get to the looks I have it on good authority (Jess) that Bravon will have a wedding makeup page on the Bare Escentuals website starting around May 12th. Many of you are big fans of Bravon and his work so I know this is exciting news. I know I'm excited. I will probably do some of the looks from the page once it's up. I can't wait to see what he comes up with!

The color shift colour are interesting. The lilac is very light and pretty. I put the colour in the crease first and blended it out to make it turn grey then I gently patted it lash to crease to keep the shinner lighter lilac colour. I find that the lilac/grey does not produce a dramatic difference in colour when you blend it out but it creates a difference in texture. When blended out it is very soft and almost matte looking. Hopefully you will beable to see it in the pictures.

There is a dramatic difference with the Bronze/green colour. I used the same method for both looks. The green is a nice bright mossy green and the bronze is a light nude-ish bronze.

Playing with Blue and Green

I thought I would use blues and greens today. I used two of each but I think this look ends up looking more blue than green. Refresh goes on almost white, and foiled it just looks light and bright.

Esperanza Spalding's Grammy Dress

I was happy to see Esperanza Spalding win a Grammy for best new artist. I like her music and she is clearly very talented. I also thought her dress, designed by Selma Karaca, was interesting. I think the dress is pretty, it has a nice shape and it looked great on Spalding. I found the colour palette strangely alluring and so I decided to do an eye shadow look based on her outfit. From pictures I’ve seen most of the dress is varying shades of chartreuse with some darker woodsy greens and sea greens mixed in. I really like the combination of chartreuse and the sea green it is a colour combination that I don’t think I ever would have thought of.

Here is a picture of the dress:

This is "Fall In" one of my favorites:

EYES:
Too Faced Shadow Insurance,
50/50 mix well rested/clear radince all over,
Petunia under brow,
Exotic Victoria foiled lash to crease,
MAC Spiritualize in crease and outer corner,
KVD Hard Luck with a tiny touch of Tijuana in outer corner and V and along lower lash line,
KVD Tijuana wet lined on top,
Rimmel Mascara.


CHEEKS: Optimist with a little Avant-Garden on the apples.
LIPS: Fruit Smoothie gloss with a little Tarte Charmed to darken it.

If you wanted to do this look with all BE I would use Perrfect in place of KVD Hard Luck, Foliage in place of KVD Tijuana, and maybe Treasured terri mixed with a bright blue (like crusin' teddi or azure) in place of MAC spiritualize (I don't really have anything in my BE collection that is very similar to spiritualize). I also thought about using Vienna Buxom under the gloss, if I had more time I would have.

A Simple Garland

When I do simple looks like this sometimes I think they are not worth posting but then I remember that many people need to do simple looks for work etc.
Yoga is a really pretty liner. I think it looks great with brown eyes but if you have blue or green eyes I think it would look really nice as well. Yoga is one of my favorite liners.
