My Holiday Makeup: Makeup Geek and Mally Beauty

Hello all,

I just want to share the look I did for Thanksgiving because it was a festive look that I think will work for other holidays and for the holiday season :)

Keep reading if you are interested in how I hot this look:


Products List: 


Foundation: 
I used the LancĂ´me Teint Idole Ultra 24H makeup in 410 Bisque(w)- It's a full coverage, matte foundation which I prefer applying with a beauty blender. 


Blush: 
I layered all 3 blushed in the Hourglass Ambient Lighting Blush palette (Luminous Flush, Incandescent Electra, Mood Exposure)

Powder: 
Hourglass Ambient Lighting palette- I used dim light to set my undereye concealer ad Radiant light all over the face 

Concealer: 
Tarte BB tinted undereye corrector and Maybelline Instant Age Rewind Eraser in Medium - I applied it under my eye in a triangle shape to help make it look more natural and highlighted, I used a the beauty blender to help blended in, the foundation on the beauty blender also helps it blend with the rest of the face

Highlighter: 
Doll 10 H2Glo HIghlighter in Champagne 

Brows: 
It Cosmetics Brow Power Universal Brow Pencil and Maybelline Great Lach clear mascara to help keep my brows in place. The brow pencil gives me put together but still natural looking brows. 

Lips: 
Makeup Forever lipstick in Rouge 

Eyes: 
Urban Decay Eyeshadow Primer Potion 
Mally Eye Shadow in cooper rose (eye shadow stick)
Makeup Geek Vegas Lights Pigment 
Makeup Geen Vegas lights Eyeshadow palette







The Look: 



The Tutorial:


I primed my eyes and applied the Mally shadow stick, then went in with the star of the show: the Vegas Lights pigment. I applied it with a wet brush all over the lid and a bit into the crease. I then mixed Sin City and Roulette from the Vegas Lights palette and applied in on the crease and blended it up above the crease, the I used Mirage as a browbone highlight. For an extra wow factor I used casino on the inner corner and Sin City on the lower lashline, and Roulette on the lower lashline as well but on the outer corner. 

I hope this makes sense but let me know if you have any questions!

La Vie en Rose: March favorites


Here are my March favorites and quick reviews! 


First up: Josie Maran Argan oil, Seriously if you have not tried this, you should! It has been the most amazing moisturizer for me. I have a lot of acne scars and discoloration in my cheeks and this made a visual difference within a week. Don’t expect miracles though, it didn’t make scaring disappear but even my holy grail dark spot moisturizer does not compare.



The world famous and widely loved Urban Decay's Naked 3:


 I’ve bee using this palette a lot this month, especially for more subtle looks. To think that I was not even going to buy it! I figured that pink tones would not show up well on my skin but it actually show up nicely and they are perfect for days when I dono’t want a dramatic eye.

It Cosmetics' Brow Power Universal Brow Pencil



I love this universal brow pencil! I use it for more natural looking brows and I’ve gotten some compliments on my brows while wearing it

For the lips: I have been preferring 100% Pure’s fruit pigmented lipstick in rose pedal and Stila’s color balm lipstick in sonya
    


I bought rose pedal online and sonya came in one of the holiday sets from Sephora (Give me more more lip). I would love to repurchase this one once I’m out, except for the packaging.
See it sticks out! Making it ripe for accidents.

For the cheeks, I’ve been having tons of fun with the Maybelline master glaze blush stick in Pink Fever. It is pretty on it’s own but it’s also great with a powder blush on top.
