The Green with Envy Look

Posted By Skindz ~ Feb 20, 2011 11:42PM

 

Hey Makeupaholics,

Here is a look that I created for fun on my birthday (sooo old now). It didn't take much effort (prob 10 mins) but I think it looks like I took a bit. Haha.

To achieve this look, it was almost all drugstore products (the ones which I used that were department store are easily substituable).

The Green with Envy Look:The Green with Envy Look

Base:

  • MAC Painterly Paint Pot (you can easily use a NYX Jumbo Pencil)

 

Eyeshadow palette:

  • The Manly 80 Palette

 

Other Eye Products:

  • MAC Blacktrack fluid line
  • Covergirl Fantastic Lash in Black
  • Falsies from Sasa

 

Brushes:

  • Sigma - Blending brush (for blending between the shades of green)
  • Sigma - Pencil brush (for the outer V)
  • BYS Smudge brush - I used this as a normal eyeshadow brush to pack on colour since I have a smaller eye space
  • Gloss Professional Crease brush (found at Gloss Cosmetics in Australia)

 

Try this out for yourselves! It's great for smaller asian eyes too. Hope you liked this look!

NYX Red Lipstick Comparison

Posted By Skindz ~ Feb 19, 2011 5:11PM

Hey all,

This was requested through my youtube link (Skind88 - http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=nmID09MMNys) by Pizzazz80.

NYX Red Lipstick Swatches

Here is a comparison of the three NYX Round Lipsticks - red shades - that I own. As you can tell Black Cherry is more of a burgundy undertone, Hero provides a more warm red and Chaos provides a blue toned red. Out of the three the most wearable for me is Hero. Next to each other you can see the differences but when you look at them in the stick form, Black Cherry and Hero look almost identical.

All these lipstick are HIGHLY pigmented. I can't stress that enough. They are extremely creamy but along with that there comes some bad sides. The lipsticks really do bleed so it would be ideal to use a lipliner. Also, because they are so creamy they wear off a lot quicker (at least for me) than other lipsticks like Rimmel Red Hot and MAC lipsticks.

So to round up:

Pros:

  • Creamy
  • Moisturising
  • Pigmented
  • Cheap

 

Cons:

  • Bleed
  • Wear off easily

 

Hope this helps.

The Rainbow Look

Posted By Skindz ~ Feb 19, 2011 8:11AM

Hey all,

Here is my second look. This is my first version of a rainbow look. You can try this look using a range of your favourite colours... thus you don't have to stick to the colours that I have chosen. I hope you guys enjoy this look.

If you want a more dramatic look - apply falsies, curl your lashes, thicken your eyeliner line and wing it out.

How to achieve this look?

Base:

- Chichi cream eyeshadow in lilac (used as a base) - I wouldn't recommend this as it doesn't stay on too long - use UDPP

Eyeshadow palette:

- Coastal Scents 88 matte palette

Eyeliner and Mascara:

- Bourjois Ultra Clubbing Liner in Ultra Black
- Covergirl Fantastic Lash in Black

The Rainbow Look:

Once again, try this out and let me know how it goes!

Love Skindz

Hey all!

This is my first makeup look! Hope you enjoy!

How to achieve this?

Base:
- NYX Lavender Jumbo Eye Pencil

Eyeshadow palette:
Manly Palette - similar to Coastal Scents 88 Matte Pallet but square shadows (any eye shadows along these colours would work):

- Light blue (inner corner, inner lid, lower lash line)
- Vibrant midnight blue (middle lid and crease)
- Matte Black (outer crease and outer V)
- MAC Blacktrack Fluidline
- Maybelline Define-a-Lash
- Maybelline Define-a-Line (waterline <-- wouldn't advise this anymore... it smudges like mad)

The Smokey Blue Look:

Try it yourselves and let me know how it goes!

Thanks for tuning in!
