Death by Chocolate FOTD

Hi all,

First of my Chocolate palette looks and this one is from the Death By Chocolate palette. Quite frankly, I'm shocked at how smooth and pigmented the colours are if a little powdery. My new found blending skills come from the brush that came with the UD Naked 2 palette. I'm in love with it and need many back-ups!

Also, the area manager of Arbonne here wants me to work for her. She loves my look and says I'm very talented. I've turned down becoming a consultant for now as I can't really take on anything else with mum and all but I'll be doing an event with her where I'll do make-up on 2 models. Exciting!

Products used:
-Usual primer mix, foundation, concealers, powders and contour product
-MAC Dainty Mineralize blush and
-Laura Mercier Matte highlight in 01.
Eyes:
-UDPP
-Barry M Eyeshadow pencil in Purple
-From Makeup Revolution Death by Chocolate palette: Love You To Death (lid), One More Bar (crease and lower lashline), Break Me Up (transition), White Light (brow bone), Bring Down Angels (inner corner), All Is Lost (outer corner) and Devour Me (lower lashline).

Lips:
-ELF Mineral eyeshadow primer (yep, makes an awesome lip primer) and
-Revlon Just Enough Buff lipstick.

The New Brown FOTD

Hi all,

I build this look around Catrice eyeshadow in The New Brown. I have to say, it's amazing! Blue eye girls, you need this in your life. It make my eye colour so intense. I used Pixie Epoxy underneath as a lot of Catrice's newer shimmery shadows have a lot of fallout which solved that issue. Apologies if the pics aren't great. The weather is permanently gloomy here lately.

Sultry Emerald FOTD and bonus Luna pics

Hi all,

My skin is starting to behave again so I'm back to doing FOTDs. Sadly as pretty as this palette is, it wasn't what I was hoping for. The supposedly emerald green is more of a grass green so I put the deep green from the Sleek Storm palette on top to make it more me. The pics aren't great as I'm still getting used to my new phone and the weather here is very gloomy. I'm sure the pics will improve as the weather improves and I get more practice using the phone.

Products used:
Face:
-Usual primer (mixed with MAC Strobe Cream), foundation, concealers, powders and contour product
-Dainty Doll powder blush in Money Talks and
-Hard Candy Moon Glow powder.
Eyes:
-UDPP
Milani ShadowEyez in Almond Cream
-Avon Sultry Emerald quad
-Deep green shimmer from Sleek Storm palette
-MAC Quarry
-Catrice Vanilla and Charles
-UD Perversion liner
-Essence waterproof eyeliner pen
-Mally Have The Last Lash mascara and
-Boots Natural Collection Water Guard mascara.
Lips:
-BB Creamy lip pencil in Petal (I think) and
-Rimmel Kate lipstick in 8.
