Look: Smokey Electra
Posted by Heather | Filed under Black, Bobbi Brown, Gray, Looks, MAC, Silver, Smokey, Yaby, Yves Saint Laurent (YSL)
This is a take on the smokey gray eyes with a MLBB (my lips, but better) color. It’s simple white, gray, and black blended together to make it look smokey. It’s a great look for going out (even though I’m wearing this one to work…in a t-shirt ha!). But that’s just the way I am I guess. :-) Happy New Year to you and your families!
For this look I used:
- Eyes: UDPPS (primer), Yaby PP silver (base), Rondelle (inner lid), Electra (middle lid), Typographic (outer lid), Carbon (crease), Unbasic White (highlight), Bobbi Brown Black Ink (liner), Plushlash mascara
- Cheeks: NARS Super Orgasm + Shell Pearl
- Lips: YSL Rouge Volupte #3

Look: Happy Halloween!
Posted by Heather | Filed under Black, MAC, Orange, Silver, Smashbox, White, Yaby
I know I know, long time, no post! I actually am home all weekend, and I did a neat little Halloween look to go out to lunch and hang around the house with, and I took the time to take pictures and post it for you! :-) I’m not really into costumes and crazy (crazier?) makeup. MAC actually asked me to work today, but I passed, as I am surely not experienced at doing halloween makeup. So what kind of makeup do you wear on halloween when you don’t wear a costume? Black and Orange of course! It looks really nice IRL…the fade looks fantastic, but I’m not sure how well the camera captured it. But also, this is a neat look for me because it’s the first one I’ve documented in our new house!!! :-D
I hope you all have a fun, safe, and Happy Halloween!!!
For this look I used:
- Eyes: UDPP (primer), Painterly PP (base), Yaby Pearl Paints (white & orange), Crystal Avalanche (inner lid), Orange (rest of lid & lower lid), Smashbox Envy (outer lid & crease), a touch of Chrome Yellow (between the white and orange), Nylon (highlight), Bobbi Brown Black Ink (liner), Smolder Kohl (waterline), Chanel Exceptionnel mascara
- Cheeks: Superduper Natural mineralize blush
- Lips: Nice Mix Up lipglass

Look: Silver on Black
Posted by Heather | Filed under Black, Bobbi Brown, Laura Geller, Looks, MAC, Silver, Smokey
I absolutely adore looking at Padmita’s 1 looks. I don’t know if it’s because of her gorgeous light blue eyes, but she wears white liner on the waterline like no other! I envy her skills, her eye color, her creativeness, and her great camera (which takes really nice shots). So I went for the white waterline, but on me I think it looks kinda scary. Maybe I’m just not used to it? What’s your take?
For this look I used:
- Eyes: UDPPS (primer), Blackground PP (base), black side of Danger Zone (outer lid & crease), Sweet Sienna Pigment (middle lid), Platinum Pigment (inner lid & corner), Pink Opal Pigment (highlight), Bobbi Brown Black Ink (upper & lower lashline), UD 24/7 Dime (inner corner liner), Enchanting (waterline), Chanel Exceptionnel mascara
- Cheeks: Margin + Larua Geller Pink Grapefruit + Blonde MSF
- Lips: Bobbi Brown Heather Mauve l/s + Chanel Aqualumier

Look: Lots of Mineral Shadows!
Posted by Heather | Filed under Gray, Green, Laura Geller, Looks, MAC, Silver
I’ve been a little lazy in getting out my normal shadows, and more into getting out what I haven’t touched in a LOOONG time (or ever!). I’m enjoying using the Metal X shadows as bases too. I really don’t like this look that much though. None of my pictures seemed to come out right. None of them have lately actually…ah well.
For this look I used:
- Eyes: UDPPS (primer), Metal X shadows as bases: Virgin Silver (inner lid), 6th Sin (middle lid), Guilded Ash (outer lid), silver side of Polar Opposites MES (inner lid), Laura Geller Spun Sugar MES (middle lid), Gallery Gal MES (outer lid), gray side of Word-of-Mouth MES (crease), Bright Side MES (highlight), Shade Fluidline (liner), Chanel Exceptionnel mascara
- Cheeks: Laura Geller Pink Grapefruit Mineralized blush
- Lips: Chanel Glow Glossimer

Look: Sophisticated Silvers
Posted by Heather | Filed under Chantecaille, Gray, Looks, MAC, NARS, Silver, Smokey

Look: A Night in Hawaii
Posted by Heather | Filed under Black, Looks, MAC, Red/Maroon, Silver, Smokey
This was from my first “real” night in Kauai. We spent all day at the beach right outside the Marriott where we’re staying. Beautiful day. I did this look just because I felt like doing full makeup :-) I took some pictures of the view right from our balcony. Beautiful huh?! It’s kind of a frosty-smokey look…enjoy!

Look: Deep Truth Smokey
Posted by Heather | Filed under Blue, Looks, MAC, Pink, Silver, Smokey
I love wearing bright blue! This is a look kinda like the Kim Kard. look, but with Deep Truth instead of Contrast. Et Tu, Bouquet? is so light on me, it might as well not be there…I also threw in a little Silverthorn to make the lid a little smokier. :-)
For this look I used:
- Eyes: UDPPS (primer), Bare Studey PP (base), Et Tu Bouquet (inner lid & highlight), Silverthorn (middle lid), Deep Truth (outer lid & crease), Mystery Kohl Power (upper lashline), UD 24/7 Deviant (waterline), Chanel Exceptionnel mascara
- Cheeks: Stark Naked BPB + Dior Pop Diamond Shimmer

Look: Dior Electric Lights Quint
Posted by Heather | Filed under Blue, Dior, Eyeshadow, Looks, My Collection, Silver, Teal
Finally…a Dior quint that has some descent color payoff! In my experience with the quints, they are just so disappointing in the amount of color I can get on my lid. This one finally gave some oomph, but MAC colors still do it better IMO. The color in the middle is very purple, though it looks like a navy blue in the picture. I included a close-up of it after the jump with the rest of my pics. What do you think of this quint? Worth the money?
For this look I used:
- Eyes: UDPPS (primer), Greenstroke PP (base), Dior Iridescent Eyes Electric Lights Quint, UD 24/7 Zero (liner), Chanel Exceptionnel mascara
- Cheeks: Dior Pop Diamond Skin Shimmer
- Lips: Viva Glam VI lipglass

Look: Another Smokey Look
Posted by Heather | Filed under Gray, Looks, MAC, Silver, Smokey
But this time I put on matte lips! It’s quite similar to some other smokey looks I’ve been doing recently, but I think that’s because I’m loving the color placement and how the overall look comes together. Hopefully you like the smokey looks too :-) I’ll be changing it up a little soon though :-)
For this look I used:
- Eyes: UDPP (primer), Painterly PP (base), Naked Pigment (inner & middle lid & highlight), Print (outer lid & crease), Swan Lake (middle/outer lid), Typographic (outer crease), UD 24/7 Zero liner with Carbon e/s on top, Chanel Exceptionnel mascara
- Cheeks: Love Rock Mineralized Blush Duo
- Lips: Chanel Aqualumier l/s in Cancun…(not sure if this is what I wore in the picture…but it’s what I reapplied during the day lol).
