Well, Kristin is still out at Burning Man and I’m still recovering from being sick, but I’m so glad to be back on the blog!  It’s been nice to relax as a newly married old lady (heh), even if I have felt like crap, ha!  It feels even better to put my face on and feel like “me!”  I’ve also been experimenting with layering my necklaces.  I’m wearing 2 wax seal pendants from Plum and Posey and a hummingbird skull pendant from Skeletos; both sellers can be found on Etsy.


MAKEUP BREAKDOWN:

FACE:  MAC Studio Fix Fluid NW10, NARS Radiant Creamy Concealer in Chantilly, MAC Set Powder in Invisible, NYX HD Blush in Taupe to contour, Benefit Dandelion Blush, Guerlain Meteorites in Clair

EYES:  Bobbi Brown Cream Eyeshadow in Bone, Urban Decay Eyeshadows in Skimp, Bordello, and AC/DC(Feminine Palette), L’Oreal Super Slim Liner Black, Anastasia Beverly Hills Brow Powder Duo in Ebony, Covergirl Clump Crusher mascara black

LIPS:  Kat Von D Studded Kiss Lipstick in Lovecraft

Last night was our local goth-industrial dance night and I decided to really do something interesting with my makeup, since I have been wearing lighter fare for the daytime regularly (taupe shadows and mauve lips have been my thing lately).  I went all out last night and did a black and red theme I was really pleased with! 

  
MAKEUP BREAKDOWN:

Smashbox Photo Finish Primer, MAC Studio Fix Fluid NW10 applied with damp Beauty Blender, NARS Radiant Creamy Concealer underneath eyes with Beauty Blender, NYX HD Concealer in Porcelain to spot conceal and around the nose.  NARS Light Reflecting Powder to set face, NYX HD Blush in Taupe to contour, Illamasqua Blush in Katie.

EYES:

Bobbi Brown Cream Eyeshadow in Bone as a base, MAC Vanilla eyeshadow as highlight, Makeup Geek Corrupt black shadow in the crease, Sugar Pill Love + eyeshadow on lid and lower lash line, Wet N Wild H2O + liquid eyeliner in black with MAC 210 eyeliner brush for eyeliner detail work.  Ardell false lashes, Covergirl Clump Crusher Mascara, Brows Makeup Geek Corrupt Eyeshadow with Anastasia Beverly Hills small double ended brow brush 

LIPS:

NYX Lip Liner in Black Berry as an ombré liner mixed with Rimmel Provocalips in Play With Fire 

Hummingbird skull pendant in sterling silver by Skeletos on Etsy – I cannot recommend this great jewelry artist enough!

You guys.  I really need to get out the Guerlain Meteorites more often, right?  I look like I used a beauty filter on my camera or something…except I didn’t!
