Hi Everyone! Just a quick tutorial and review on more products that I bought recently. Took the first two pictures with my webcam and the last pic with an HD Sony camera. What a difference, eh? You can really see the makeup, subtle as it is. I want to post video tutorials soon, but I think I will invest in a camcorder. Webcams really deprive you of quality...
The products that I used in the makeup look I'm rocking are from Josie Maran Cosmetics. Josie Maran Cosmetics is an organic makeup line founded by--wait for it-- model/actress Josie Maran! You may know her from Sports Illustrated, Dancing With the Stars or from her Maybelline ads.
Anyway, I bought Finger Paints in Lovely ($15 at Beautycrunch.com!), Precocious lipstick($20) and Happiness lipgloss($18). Lovely is a creamy neutral quad and works for all skin tones. Although the product is organic, there is no funky smell and it blends really well, no creasing at all. Its a multi-use product and can be applied on eyes, cheeks and lips. Lovely consists of chocolate brown, peachy pink, gold and copper colors. They are so shimmery and pretty! Really happy with this. The bad? The price. I paid only $15, but $36 for this seems steep to me. Also, you MUST apply a primer onto your lids or risk it fading after a few hours.
Precocious lip and Happiness are rose toned lip colors and they look beautiful on everyone. I tried it on my mother who is lighter than I am and a friend who is darker and they looked absolutely gorgeous with both. Highly recommend, but they also fade without precaution. To make it the last I applied foundation to my lips and lined my mouth with a lip pencil.
What I am wearing:
Nars Sheer Glow Foundation in Barcelona
Nars Blush in Orgasm
Stila Kajal Eyeliner in Onyx (Rad black eyeliner pencil!) on bottom lid only
Josie Maran Finger Paints in Lovely
Josie Maran lipstick in Precocious and lipgloss in Happiness
On eyes apply some primer and add a thick layer of the pinky peach color using a large shader brush (you don't need to use a brush with this product but I think it works better) . "Press" it in from lid to the brow bone. Next, apply a generous layer of the copper color on lid only. The chocolate brown shade should go from mid crease to the outer crease and blend it well with the copper color. Finally, use the gold shade as a highlight on the brow bone. Line bottom lashes with black eyeliner. Skip or add mascara if desired.
Apply foundation to lips or you can fill them in with a lip pencil of the same color. Line them if you like. Apply Precocious lipstick, then add Happiness lipgloss. All done!
