Bright Spring Look

There is nothing I love quite as much as bright makeup! I love adding colors to my eyelids that most people wouldn't. There isn't any rules for makeup, so why not have fun with it? In my search of a bright green color I discovered makeup on Etsy called Vandaleyez and I LOVE LOVE LOVE these colors!

Of course start with a eyeshadow primer. Next I took Vandaleyez Superhero wet and put it on the eyelid. You can add more or less, but I put quite a lot (I like bright colors!) Then I took Vandaleyez Violet Vixen in the crease and brought it up quite a bit. Next I took Vandaleyez Tombstone in the socket bone. For the rest of the eyes I used Maybelline Volum' Express One by One mascara, L'Oreal Lineur Intense liquid liner on the top and bottom lash line, for blush I used Benefit Coralista. And that is basically it.

Vandaleyez Custom Mineral Eye Shadows

Another Etsy shop that I found was Vandaleyez. Anyone who knows me knows that I am a sucker for eyeshadows! I can never have enough, so when I heard of etsy I had to search eyeshadows, and I came across Vandaleyez mineral shadows. I have recently come to appreciate loose shadows again, and what better way to try out Vandaleyez's shadows than to purchase six samples just to get a feel of the shadows and shop itself, so I chose Rockstar, Tombstone, Violet Vixen, Moonstruck, Red Velvet, and Superhero (which was the color that the owner suggested to me for a bright green.)

I have to say I LOVE these colors. I was very excited about the Superhero color, because I've been looking for a bright/neon green, and I believe that I found it! The color wasn't too bright when applied alone, but I applied it wet, and it was the perfect neon green! It's a yellow based green that looks as if it would glow in a black light haha!

The other colors I loved too! Rockstar is a beautiful indigo color with tons of sparkle which I loved! Red Velvet is like a red based brown, almost a coppery color. Violet Vixen is a bright true purple color. Tombstone is a beautiful blue based gray that would look great for smokey eyes. Moonstruck is almost like a tarnished silver, another beautiful color!

After playing with these colors for awhile, I do think that they would all be wearble for everyday depending on how much you intensify them! One of the best part of these samples are they're not in messy little bags, they have their own container and are so much better than the bag! I also think you get a little bit more per sample! The box that they are packaged in are also cute! Again this was another pleasant experience with esty!

This was a look I created using Superhero, Violet Vixen, and Rockstar. Even with using Superhero and Violet Vixen wet, Rockstar was still easily blended, and the colors on top of a primer lasted over ten hours! Which is incredible for any eyeshadow!

Bright Green Eye Using Sugarpill & Urban Decay

This was my first attempt at creating a cut crease look, and I'm not quite sure I got it perfect, but I did like the results! This was also another reason to play with some more Sugarpill colors, and quite possibly my favorite green EVER!

First always prime your eyes, this time I used something different, Urban Decay Primer Potion. Then I took Sugarpill's Absinthe and added a little bit of mixing medium to make the color more vibrant, and then just added that to the entire lid. Next comes the more difficult part, the actual part of cutting the crease! I used a small angled brush and first added Sugarpill's Dollipop and blended that up, then I took Urban Decay Underland (from the Alice in Wonderland palette) and added that under the Dollipop and blended it in just slightly. Last I took Urband Decay Oil Slick and blended that slightly into Underland. The actual part of cutting the crease is finished. Recently I have really been into putting actual colors on the waterline, so first I used NYX Jumbo Eye Pencil in Milk and then added Sugarpill's Afterparty over that and smudged it into the lowerlash line. Then I added my Maybelline Volum' Express One by One mascara in Very Black and L'Oreal Lineur Intense liquid liner in Black on the upper lashline and on the outer 1/3 lower lashline. For blush I used Physicians Formula Happy Booster Glow & Mood Boosting Blush in Natural

Music Genre Series: Dance

This was the genre I was most excited about! Mostly because I knew I was going to get to use my new Sugarpill Sweet Heart palette (a review will follow)! Lots of bright colors, because when I think of dance music I think of raves and being in the club and having lots of fun colors!

Again I always start with Too Faced Shadow Insurance just to make sure your eyeshadows are more vibrant and will last longer, no one like having creasing! Then I took Sugarpill's Dollipop on the inner half of the lid and then add Sugarpill's Midori to the outer half of the lid, and blend the two colors a little bit (not too much this is a look you don't want to be muddy). I then took Too Faced Like a Virgin shadow from the Pixie Pin-Ups palette very lightly a little bit higher than the crease. Then with my Studio Tools crease brush I blended Sugarpill's Afterparty on the crease, and blended it up a little bit on the brown. After that I added Maybelline Volum' Express One by One in Very Black mascara, and L'Oreal Lineur Intense liquid liner to the upper lashline and the outer half of the lower lashline, and then I added Physicians Formula Happy Booster Glow & Mood Boosting Blush in Rose, and that's the complete look

If there are any questions or suggestions please post them...I still have a few more of the genre series to do, but the next few posts I'm venturing off of it;)
