Before makeup, bare face. See how makeup can transform this face.
I applied the purple eyeshadow liner on the lower lashline, after applying a dark eyeshadow.
Do you want a good deal?
Many of you said that the purple color that I used on the lower lashline of one of my brides recently, was great. Even the bride asked me later on what was used, and I showed her what I used and where to get it. The good thing is that this product is on sale at the moment at a ridiculously low price and I decided to mention it to you as well so you can grab it while it is still available. Some good deals come and go, and you have to be fast. I already placed more than one order!
What is it: It is a set of eyeshadow pencil made by this company called Urban Decay that we love, and it is now down from $34 to $9!
24/7 SHADOW PENCIL STASH
It’s like a box of ridiculously chic crayons… for your eyes. We packaged 5 travel-sized Shadow Pencils in a shade assortment that lets you play boldly with color or create softly smudged effects. You get all the creamy, waterproof, vibrant color of our 24/7 Glide-On Eye Pencils in a fat shape that’s super-versatile: use the wide side of the pencil to shadow larger areas with ease or use the thin tip to line your eyes. This set makes achieving dramatic washes of color and precise lines SO EASY, in hues that run the gamut from soft and shimmery to deep and bright. The range of looks you can create with this set is endless, and we can’t live without it. Juju, a frosted taupe, is brand new and only available in this set! And each pencil barrel is color-matched so it’s easier to grab exactly what you’re looking for in the depths of your handbag. This kit will change the lives of lazy shadow appliers and wannabe makeup artists who can now achieve flawlessly shaded and/or lined eyes. Give it to yourself or a friend, or break it up into mini gifts.

My new makeup has arrived today. I am going to try their HD foundation. the more i buy the more i am loving their products.. not sure why I put up so much buying from them.. I should have bought long time ago. These aqua creams really don’t let your eyeshadow crease! Not sure how they are made.. but they work. You can even wear them alone by themselves if you prefer not to add powder eyeshadow over it. I am loving the purples I bought but I can’t understand why some of the colors are not available at sephora.. What is your favorite mufe product??

foundation no. 117

here is another look with the same bright purple by makeup for ever.. done by a pretty mid or late twenties latvian girl, still very pretty, and well executed. Check this video out.
note. Color 19 is not available in usa, but color 26 is its equivalent. In this video, the shade used was aqua cream no. 19 and not 26, but same shade, different numbers.

A few thoughts as I prepare to upload some photos.. Are you now convinced that makeup improves your looks.. the way you look is important in today’s society, how we are perceived by others. We are not living on an island by ourselves, so we need to brush our hair, take care of our skin, make sure we don’t stay in the sun for a long time and get brown spots as we grow older, and add a little color to the face. When you start getting white hair, it is time to color your hair and cover the grays.. Depending on what state in the United States you live in, these tasks may be a little more or a little less emphasized.
When I lived in Sydney Australia, I wore conservative makeup, but still, I wore makeup, unlike others who could not bother. They would be with gray hair, yellow or crooked teeth, and no make at all.. not everyone wore makeup. Lifestyle was more healthy though.. more fresh foods, more vitamins, more fruits per day.. more exercise time.. I do miss it a bit. I feel sometimes that this society here in USA is often too strongly and wrongly focusing on the outside appearance of a person.. the outside is important, but the inside is also important. One needs to make time to enjoy life.. to connect with your creator, believe in something, do something creative, enjoy time with your family and friends, because life is not just about work and coming home and relaxing.
This beautiful bride is a horse girl.. she is a trainer, she is in the sun a lot.. as you can see she has brown spots and a red face.. all the time. The task was to neutralize the red and give a uniform color to the face, then add blush and bronzer. After we were done, I looked at her and said to myself she looks like britney spears!! As I looked again, I saw Britney’s features there.. do you see it to? or is it my imagination? I see some resemblance there.
A bridesmaid’s look on wedding day

Here is a young girl.. instructions given by the bride was to do a very soft makeup.. so no matter what the girl wanted, we had to stick to what the bride instructed us to do. and you know on the wedding day some brides could be a little nervous, so it is not a good time to really argue with them.. let’s give the girl a soft look.
this is the face before makeup.. the head band is about to go on her head to hold the hair back
Hair is not done yet, but here is the soft look created on her.. anything lighter than this would show nothing on her
she had so many choices.. but here is the final look for this Romanian bridesmaid.
Let’s check a few faces before and after makeup.. here is the mother of the bride

Lately I had to do a few faces.. and here are some before and after photos..
This woman did not speak a word of English so I was left on my own to do her face.. used gestures to say ‘close’ ‘open’ your eyes. I think she ended up looking good.. of course when I took the photos her hair was not done yet.. but you get an idea on the makeup.
Since the eyelids looked a little flat to me, I wanted to create some depth and used a darker eyeshadow in the crease.
- Also narrowed the cheeks by applying a darker color foundation on the cheeks.
- She ended up looking much better after the makeup.

Last night I sat down and created new colors.. it was so much fun.. I am enjoying doing this.. more practical to carry eyeshadow pans in a palette than all the jars of pigments. Check these out.. my new shades. Have you tried doing it yet?
These colors are happy colors!
The colors are less bold this time.. still gorgeous!
Each color is blending with at least 2 other colors!
I find this blue/green irresistible!!
which one is my favorite shade? don't ask me.. I love them all!
I am loving all these new shades I created..
Good night everyone, I am off to bed now

Create your own eyeshadow colors!
31 Mar 2012 Leave a Comment
Yesterday I received the empty pans that I had ordered two weeks ago from a company in California.. So after we had dinner and returned home, I decided to start my little experiment of creating my own colors. I had seen a few videos online on how to press pigments, but I went a step ahead or further and decided to mix my own colors.. I spent time standing up in my kitchen working on my colors from 9 pm till 1 am and the result is below.. More to come on this subject.
None of these colors exists anywhere in stores! They are my own creations! and you can do this too!
I have not pressed the top and did not fill them to the top so I can eventually see the bottom but I will continue to experiment..

put together 2 colors that contrast and have fun.. in this case I chose purple and gold.. which is a nice combination for those with green eyes.
