Simple bright green eye look

This is a very easy look that I created the day that I received my Lime Crime Alchemy palette (I ordered the entire Alchemy collection on the first day it was available because I have makeup issues). 





The components of this eye look:
Lime Crime Alchemy palette
Lime Crime's uniliner in 6th Element
Like always, Lancome black liner and mascara. 

Side view
Spellbound is the color I used as the base for the entire eyelid. Then I used Lucky Charm over the majority of the eye with a sneak of Love Potion #9 in the  inner corner to add a little spice! I normally wouldn't pair this orange unliner with the mainly green eye look...but it was the first unliner I ordered from Lime Crime and I wanted to try it out!

Sugar Skull #2

Another sugar skull look! Once again, this one was created to be a reference for a photographer and a model that I will working with in the near future! This look is more floral and encompasses more Sunset-y colors! This was a simple sugar skull look that didn't take that long. I really like the purple and blue sugar skull that I did more...however, I'm still going to create this post!




First I had to make my face white! I used a 3 part method. After applying moisturizer I added a white Lancome face primer that I have had forever. Then I put a white face powder that I bought from Hot Topic, then I put a small amount of a shiny Lancome loose face powder almost as a highlighter on my cheekbones and on my chin. After making my face white, I added Nyx's jumbo eye pencil in Milk on some of the areas that I know will need to have intense color. Now I have a semi face-stencil! 



The cult classic Coastal Scents 88 original palette helped to create this bright sugar skull look. 


The white on the inner lid is Nyx's Milk. The black liner is Lancome's cream eyeliner in 601 Black Fishnets. A major favorite of mine. I used E.L.F. false eyelashes with Nyx small, colored individual lashes.





I created an eye ombre by simply putting a yellow shadow, then an orange shadow, then a bright pink shadow on the "socket" region of the sugar skull face. Then I took a blending brush and blurred the colors together so that the sockets were an ombre instead of harsh colors in a row. 

You can tell here that I added the colored individual lashes.



You can tell here slightly too that I added the colored individual lashes. It looked so cool in real life...but my camera couldn't capture it! 
The flower is the same shades as the eye socket ombre. But i'm sure you could already tell that! 

Honestly, I'm not sure what brand or color this lipstick is. I've had it forever. The spiderweb was created with a random black pencil liner and accented with Lime Crime's Love Potion #9

No flash!
I added Lime Crime's Styletto on the outer edge of the lips and blended it. Sorry that I didn't get a better picture of this! 

The swirls spots are Lime Crime's Alchemy colors too. 

Minor cheek hollowing.

"Dark Chocolate" makeup

This was not the original intention that I had in mind when I started this makeup look...but we all know that I am a major fan of the smokey eye. It's just so beautiful!

Of course, most of the products I used are limited edition eyeshadows that I have forever...but I will list the products that are current!

Obviously, before mascara is added...
All of the eyeshadows are l.e. Lancome shadows except the crease. It's a fairly new product to Lancome. Its texture is like a creamy-powder. It's called Color Design Infinite 24H in 602 Forever Noir. I applied with my finger to make the blending easier, then I took a blending brush to blend out the color even more!
The bottom eyeliner is Lancome's Le Stylo WP in Noir. The top eyeliner is Lancome's Liner Design in 601 Black Fishnets. (My typical daily go-to liner combo). 
As you can tell, my contacts were really bothering me that night!

Mascara is my favorite thing ever! All Lancome. 3 part series. I will write a blog on my mascara routine in detail one day...but for now: it's Oscillation Powerbooster, Oscillation mascara, and then Hypnose Drama to seal the deal!
The lips before I added the metallic brown eyeshadow in the center. This beautiful black shade is Lime Crime's Styletto.

The whole look before it was turned officially into "Dark Chocolate."
The shade that I used is obviously a medium-brown metallic shade. I put it on with my ring finger and blended it slightly. I really like the way it turned out, personally. 
Dark Chocolate completed!



In this lighting I think that you can tell what the brown looks like better overall than you can in the previous pictures.

Sugar Skull makeup

A model that I know is thinking of doing a sugar skull shoot. Nothing has been finalized and I plan to do a few more different types of sugar skull looks for her to pick her favorite aspects of all of these looks and hopefully the photographer, she, and I can create some magic!!!! 

Sorry that these close-ups are so blurry; they're the only pictures that I have that show that the lashes are spider webs (Also, sorry for the run-on sentence...Oops). 


To create the "white face," I used a generic white powder that I had from Halloween one year mixed with a light weight moisturizer applied with a foundation brush. The spider web and all of the black designs/lines is Lime Crime 's unliner in Quill. The purple eyeshadow used for the whole eye socket is Lime Crime's Love Potion #9 from the Alchemy palette. The blue eyeshadow used on the "chin flower" is also from the Alchemy palette, it's Divination. The light blue liner used as accents on the flower is Lime Crime's unliner in Blue Milk. The dots around the eye sockets are both M.A.C. liquid eyeliners, the purple is Inkspill and the teal shade is Peacock-y. The lipstick is a limited edition shade from Lancome from Fall '08 (I think '08)...so there's no use of even mentioning its name...but I will anyway (Femme Mystere). The black for the nose was some random black face paint I had from last Halloween...it doesn't photograph well so I will be using something else for the "real thing."



These were the only fake flowers I had...I will be buying more of those before the actual photo shoot too. 

I received a phone call as I was finishing this look...so my hair fell out...obviously not enough bobby pins. 

Also, I slightly tinted the bottom lashes with Blue Milk and rimmed the inside of my eyes with Nyx 's Milk! 

Rainbow lips

Just an easy Rainbow lip using all Lime Crime glosses...sorry the image quality and lighting is terrible. My camera wouldn't charge for whatever reason so these were taken using Photo Booth on my Macbook Pro.






You may or may not be aware that Lime Crime often releases colors that are limited edition...which drives me crazy and causes me to immediately buy them. So...you may not be able to purchase all of these colors anymore. Their color payoff is so amazing that I can't resist incessantly buy their products! 


Even though this look is crazy...it sure does make my teeth look white! 


This look was created using all of Lime Crime's Carousel Glosses except Present and Snowsicle (which  I also own because I have makeup issues). 





You can't tell but these glosses have such dimension! I am so obsessed with Lime Crime and recommend all of their products! 
An adorable, little gay boy pointed out to me that this look is perfect for a pride parade...when I finally attend one this is the lip look I will be wearing for sure!
Thanks for reading my blog!
