Daytime Smokey Blue



This was my first attempt at using my new Temptu Airbrush Makeup system that my fiance got me for Christmas. It was fairly easy and I have fallen in love. I'm not sure if I'll ever go back to regular foundation.

I love the way my face looked after putting on the foundation. Flawless. However, I did notice that my t-zone ended up getting a little oily throughout the day. I will have to try putting primer on first and let you know how it goes.

For this look I used the Rimmel Glam'eyes Quad Eye Shadow in Smokey Blue.


Eyes:
Urban Decay Primer Potion
Lid - light blue color on the left
Crease - darker blue on the right
Outer "V" and lowe lash line - darkest blue on the top
Brow bone - nude color, something close to your skintone. I used the lightest color on the Wet N Wild Color Icon palette in Lust.
Wet N Wild Mega Liner liquid eye liner in black.
Set the color with a black eyeshadow, I used the black from the Wet N Wild Greed palette
Sephora Flashy Liner in Flashy Silver for my waterline, this will help open up the eyes
Rimmel Glam'eyes Lash Flirt mascara in black

Face:
Foundation - Temptu Air pod in Ivory #002
Blush - Temptu Air pod in Pale Pink #401
Highlighter - Temptu Air pod in Champagne #301
Makeup Forever HD Powder to set the foundation

Lips:
Revlon Super Lustrous Lipstick in Just Enough Buff #613
Milani Crystal Gloss for Lips in Secret

Fun daytime green and blue look using Wet N Wild Color ICON palette in Pride



The new Wet N Wild Color Icon eyeshadow palettes are beautiful. Very well pigmented, a little goes a long way! They are easy to work with and blend very easily.

This is a fun and colorful daytime look.

Eyes:
Mac Paint Pot in Painterly (base)
From the Wet N Wild palette in Pride, the shimmery green (all over lid and inner 1/2 of lower lash line), shimmery blue (outer "v", crease and outer 1/2 of lower lash line), and a light dusting on the brow bone using the shimmery white.**
Wet N Wild Mega Liner liquid eye liner in black.
Set the color with a black eyeshadow, I used the black from the Wet N Wild Greed palette
Lancome Hypnose mascara in black

**Remember, these colors are very pigmented and a little goes a long way. If you are going for a more dramatic night time look, simply mix in the matte colors with the shimmery and build up the color for the desired intensity.
