Kat Von D Beethoven Palette

Again I saw a great look by vintageortacky using the Beethoven Palette I purchased at Sephora the other day. Of course her look is much better than mine but mine didn't turn out too bad. I did end up really liking it after the whole look was complete! Here is how I did this look..

Eyes:

Detrivore Eye Shadow Primer (very nice)

Crease Rad Purple

Lid Lucifer

Speed Blue over the Rad Purple in the crease

Applied more black on the outer corner of eye and blended it up into crease then applied some more Speed blue

Inner corner of eye Razor Gray

Highlight I used a matte flesh color by Mac

Tear Duct I used Tequila

Added some more Lucifer to lid

Applied black liner to top and bottom lash line Urban Decay Zero

Then went under the black liner on bottom lash line with Urban Decay Ransom

A little more Tequila in tear duct area and blended out...

Black Rimmel mascara

Face:

Clinique Liquid foundation

Cheeks Mac Sunbasque

Stardust Winters Kiss on cheeks and down bridge of nose

Stardust Photo Finish clear powder

Lips:

Foundation

chapstick

Mac Midnight Velvet mattene lipstick

Mac Glimmerglass Blackware

I think that is it. A lot of dark colors and blending but these looks are a challenge for me and it helps me to practice blending which I still struggle with....Have any of you really done a challenging look that you were hesitant about?

My wow look!!!

Trying something different today. I have been so far behind on watching my youtube tutorials and the first one I read I wanted to do. This look was inspired by vintageortacky. To see her look please visit the link. I used mostly the same products she had but what I didn't have I used Stardust and it worked out so beautiful. I didn't use any products wet. These were all applied dry. I hope you enjoy. I am so proud of this. The application turned out so well. I am inspired to keep practicing now...

Eyes:

UDPP

Lid Stardust Krista's Blue

Crease Urban Decay Flash from the Show Pony Palette

Back over crease and into the vee with MUFE no. 92. Matte purple like you have never seen. It is very difficult to blend but using it on top of another color makes it work really nice.

Outer vee Mac Stately Black from the Hello Kitty Too Dolly collection

Inner corner of eye into lid Urban Decay Pain Killer from the Show Pony Collection

Highlight I used MUFE no. 3 matte whitish color to soften the edges

I then took Stardust Snow which is a matte white and I so love and did the inner eye up to brow and then lightly dusted the lid with it.

Top lash line I used Urban Decay Zero liner

Bottom lash line I used Urban Decay Ransom liner

I took MUFE 92 outer corner, then applied pain killer and blended. I then used MUFE No. 3 to soften and blend the colors.

Rimmel black brown mascara

I did do something I don't normally do and I did my bottom waterline with Urban Decay Zero liner. Very rare for me...

Face:

Clinique sunscreen

Clinique liquid foundation

Stardust blush in Petal

Stardust clear Photo finish powder

Lips:

Mary Kay Whipped Berries lipstick

This was a lot of work but good practice. I didn't need to use my blue color wet because Krista's Blue is so vibrant that it doesn't need any help at all. This was a great inspiration for me to get out all the products I own and don't use. I am a full blown Stardust lover now and that is all I use daily. Stardust products go beautifully with traditional makeup and that makes me love it even more.. All in all this was quite fun...

Clinique Foundation

Stardust Blush in Petal

A little more Winters Kiss

Finished with Stardust Photo Finish Powder in Clear

Lips:

Victoria's Secret lip gloss in Bananas

Woolah...Love this look...

Have you tried Victoria's Secret lip glosses? I love them. The bananas has a nice sparkle to it...I use it with all my lip colors....

I am not sure if we are doing much tonight due to the weather here but I still needed to have my makeup done....I have fun doing it...I hope everyone has a great Christmas Eve!!!

Enjoying time home!!!

I really haven't been doing too much with my blog lately but I have been using my holiday colors from Stardust and Hi Fi....Two of my favorites right now.....I really have just been enjoying my time at home with my children. Sometimes it is frustrating because I can't get anything done but not having to run a million different places is so peaceful to me. We had a nice snow today so we spent a couple hours playing in the snow which I really haven't done in years and it was fun...Baked fudge and cookies and getting ready for Christmas. The weather is going to take a bad turn and we are going to get ice and rain which I hope won't affect travels or we won't have any company...We still intend on enjoying the holiday...I will be sad to miss Christmas Eve Service at church but I know where my heart belongs. I so enjoy Christmas music. Not traditional Christmas but Christian Christmas music...It really reminds you of the meaning of Christmas and just puts my heart and soul back into place. I have just been so angry lately and right now I am feeling a little more at peace...I heard this beautiful song on my Christian music station and it just sends my heart soaring....I found a clip on you tube...Listen and enjoy....I hope every one enjoys their time with their loved ones this holiday season...Love to you all.....Krista

Downtown Blue with Stardust

Well yesterday my other Stardust order came which my stuff has been coming rather quickly and that is fantastic. I really love blue shadows...Jenna sent me some blue samples and I am in love with Downtown Blue....This is a vibrant smoky sparkly color....Wow!!! Here is how I used it.

Eyes
UDPP
Lid Stardust Downtown Blue
Crease Stardust Northern Dream
Highlight Stardust Snow
Under brow bone and inner eye Stardust Silken Moon
Black liner on top lid with Stardust Midnight Blizzard over it
Bottom lash line outer half Midnight Blizzard and inner Silken Moon

I love love this blue. Every color I put together just blends so nicely and evenly. I really am becoming attached to the blushes I have been trying. I normally don't have a love but Pink Sugar and Petal are amazing colors.

The finishing powder gave me a wonderful finish without looking white. My Mac finishing powder makes me look white on camera and that is not appealing....I am going to be getting in some kind of trouble here. I have to start my list. So what do you think about this Downtown Blue?

I have some other ideas on what to pair this with too...I think it would look amazing with silver...That I will try next....Have a great day and what have you used from Stardust lately?
