Gloomy Storm Eye Of The Day: May 3 (Dupes & How To)

This is an eotd I did using urban decay & NARS eye shadows. This is a really good look especially if you want to make your eyes pop. This is something I think would go great with prom. What I like most about this look is that the pop of color is not overwhelming. 

Products Used:
Eye Shadow Primer: Too Faced Shadow Insurance
Eye Shadow (Shade 1): Urban Decay Money (Book Of Shadows 3)
Eye Shadow (Shade 2): Urban Decay Haight (Book Of Shadows 3, it is a permanent shade in Sephora)
Eye Shadow (Shade 3): NARS Underworld  (Day & Night Palette)
Eyeliner (upper lash line): NYC Liquid Eyeliner in Pearlized Black
Mascara Primer: Hard Candy 1,000 Lashes Fiberized Lash Weave Primer
Mascara: L'oreal Telescopic Explosion, Cover Girl Lash Blast Length



Substitutions:
Most of these shades are limited edition so here are dupes & or substitutions for each of the shades: 
Urban Decay Money: This is a grey with green undertones and it is kinda of metallic looking. I do not have a specific color but I would use a light silver & then over that put a little olive over it. 
Urban Decay Haight: This is a blue green. It is not limited edition. A dupe for it is Maybelline Expert Wear Eye Shadow in 155 Turquoise Jewel.  
NARS Underworld: This is a black with a navy blue undertones. A dupe for it is Sally Girl eyeshadow in White Chocolate. These eyeshadow retails for .99 cents!
I might do a future post showing both of the dupes in comparison to the original shade
Here is how to achieve this look:
First start with a clean eye & prime it (this is so it will last all day or night)
Then apply the first shade to the inner half of your eyelid. 
Apply the second shade on the outer half of your eyelid (leave a little space in the outer corner). Make sure to take it up a bit into the crease. 
Blend the second shade
Put the third shade in the space you left & take it up to your crease
Apply the third shade into the lower lash line 
Apply a thin line of eyeliner (I used liquid)
Apply Mascara
(Finish the rest of your face) & You are done!
*If you want to make this more dramatic you can tightline & add  false eye lashes!*

November Favorites 2010!

Here is a list of my Favorites
1.  Sephora Lash Plumper Mascara
2. NYX jumbo pencil in the shade 617 Iced Mocha
3. Too Faced Shadow Insurance
4. ELF eyelid primer
5. wetnwild MegaEyes defining marker
6. wetnwild Mega Eyes Créme Eyeliner
7. Revlon ColorStay eye shadow in the shade 02 White Whisper
8. Maybelline Dream Mousse blush in the shade 20 peach satin
9. N.Y.C. Smooth Skin Bronzing Face Powder in the shade 720 A Sunny
10. Nivea A Kiss of Milk & Honey
11. Avon beyond color plumping lipcolor in the shade terracotta
12. Elf Complexion Perfection
13. MAC Mineralized Skin Finish Natural

 I really like a kiss of milk and honey because it leaves my lips really soft and the taste is very pleasant. The lipstick is a favorite because the color really suits my skin tone and it is not drying at all.

 This is a very nice blush. When I do not know what to wear for blush I dab this on my cheeks and I am set. It leaves a nice shimmery glow.

 When I am too lazy to  put foundation on I just put my MAC MSF in natural as it. The reason the elf complexion perfection is a favorite is because it does not leave me looking ghostly. It is great for red spots and it covers them without looking cakey or powdery.

 I use the Revlon eye shadow as my highlight whether it be on my eyes, cheeks or nose. One thing I really enjoy about it is that it is matte. That is one of the reasons I enjoy NYC sunny bronzer. It also does not leave me looking orange. It is very subtle. I use NYX jumbo pencil in Iced Mocha for almost all of my neutral looks. It really helps brings out the golden undertones of my eyes.

 My two favorite eyeliners are from wetnwild. Their cream liner lasts forever. It is great on the waterline. Here is a link with my rave on their gel liner:  http://www.luuux.com/health-beauty/product-rave-0?blog_id=34767
.The reason I like the liquid liner is because it is easy to use and inexpensive. My number one favorite is the Sephora Lash Plumper Mascara. It leaves my lashes long and with volume (generally my lashes work with any mascara). The best part is that many people ask me if I am wearing fake lashes when I use this mascara.

I have two favorite primers. I like using elf eyelid primer when I want to swatch something. It is nice and inexpensive. I like using Too Faced Shadow Insurance when I want a color to be more vibrant or last all day.
What are you November favorites?

Too Faced Eye Of The Day November 16

So I just wanted to show what eye look I was wearing and how you can achieve it:

     1. First put a primer ( I used Too Faced Shadow Insurance) and put it on your lid to browbone
2. Put a light beige base ( I used NYX Iced Mocha)
3. Use a muted light brown and apply to the inner half of your lid ( I used Too Faced eye shadow in Velvet Revolver)
4. Put a golden brown shade on the outer half of your lid and apply on your crease ( I used Too Faced eye shadow in Totally Toasted)
5. Blend
6. Apply a dark sparkly chocolate brown on the outer crown and blend in to the crease and outer lid (I used Too Faced eye shadow in Enchanted Forest, which in the palette it is put as an exclusive shade)
7. Put your matte white high light shade under your brows and in your inner tear duct. ( I used Revlon Colorstay 12 hour eyeshadow in 02 White Whisper)
8. Line your eyes ( I used wetnwild cream liner in black)
9. Curl your lashes and apply mascara
10. For the cheeks I used NYC sunny bronzer to contour and for blush I used Too faced blush in Papa Don’t Preach
      11. For the lips I used Too Faced Glamour gloss in Plush

     Side note: (I know you can barely see the inner lid color the thing is it does not show up on camera one of the main reasons why is because it is a muted light brown)
