Makeup Geek Colorcombo Challenge (Pink Sunset on the Beach)

Hello Starshines!
What I love about Makeup Geek is that they keep challenging our inner makeup artist! Recently they posted a picture with 4 eyeshadows proposing us to use them to create a look. So here is my try!

The eyeshadows pictured were:
Chickadee
Simply Marlena
Cupcake
Shimma Shimma
(I also used Beaches and Cream to prepare the lid)

Tutorial
1. Taking a big fluffy brush (Sigma E40), apply Beaches and Cream all over the lid, building up the color in the crease, this will help to create a smooth transition between the skin color and the eyeshadows.
2. Go on with Chickadee on a slightly denser and smaller fluffy brush (Sigma  E35), take it to the innermost part of the lid avoiding the middle.
3. Take a blending brush (Sigma E25) and place Simply Marlena on the same area.
4. Then with a fluffy brush apply Cupcake on the inner corner and crease to blend and sweep any harsh line
5. Take a shader brush (Sigma E55) and place Shimma Shimma on the middle of the lid.
6. I applied a thin line of eyeliner just to darken the eye and enhance my lashes but you can skip this step.
7. For the lower lash line blend Cupcake and Chickadee together
8. Put mascara and highlight your inner tear duct and it's all good!

I really liked to play with these colors and it was really challenging to find a new way to place the colors! I hope you enjoy this look and I look forward for the next color combo!

Rust Glitters

Hello Starshines!
Recently I made a "small" haul in NYX and ordered nine of their wonderful pigments. The colors are so pretty and they're so affordable I couldn't resist. So today I played with one of them; but, major beauty issue, I was so in a hurry that I totally messed up my eyeliner... Well I guess there are days like this ;) Anyway here's the look!

Products used:
NYX cosmetics Ultra Pearl Mania Loose Pearl Eyeshadow in Rust
Makeup Geek Eyeshadows in: Crème Brulee, Frappe, Chickadee, Bitten, Neptune and Ocean Breeze
Sigma Brushes

Tutorial
1. As always, place Crème Brulee all over the lid with an E40 to help blend the other colors
2. With an E35 blend Frappe just above the crease.
3. With the same E35 place Chickadee on the same area but stretch it slightly upward toward your browbone
4. With an E45 define the eye with Bitten and blend the color into the crease.
5. With an E60 place Rust all over the lid blending the edges well with the colors around.
6. To add more depth go back to the E45 and Bitten and enhance the color in the crease. This will also prevent any harsh line
7. Draw winged eye-liner (take your time not like me ;)
8. Fot the lower lashline blend Neptune and Ocean Breeze, doing this will enhance the orange color on the lid and really make it pop!
9. Highlight your inner tear duct and put mascara and you're all done for the eye look!

I wish you enjoy this look!

Blitz

Hello Starshines!
When I first looked at Makeup Geek pigments, I was immediatly drawn to Blitz, this is sooo my favorite shade, warm and bronze and shimmery. So to try out the Makeup Geek Pigments, it was naturally that I chosed this one. This look is pretty simple because I really wanted to focus on the pigment itself and sadly the pictures don't do it any justice... But here it is anyway!

Products used
Makeup Geek Eyeshadows in: Crème Brulee, Chickadee, Brown Sugar and Glamorous.
Makeup Geek Pigments in: Blitz <3
MAC cosmetics Eyshadow in: Red Brick
Maybelline Eyestudio Gel Liner
Cover Girl Lashblast Volume Mascara
Sigma Brushes

Tutorial:
1. Put Crème Brulee all over the eyelid with and E40.
2. Take an E35 and dust some Red Brick just above the crease
3. With an E30 put some Chickadee on the inner tear duct and stretch it up toward the crease.
4. Then, with an E55 place Blitz all over the mobile lid. You can spray some Fix+ or water on your brush to make the pigment even more shimmery!
5. Trace a line with some eyeliner
6. Taking an E20 place Glamorous under the lower lashline and smudge it out well.
7. With an E15 draw a thin line with Brown Script on the outter corner and go back with the E20 to blend it lightly.
8. Put mascara and you're all done!
