Pencil Technique Makeup Look

Hello people! Hello Spring!

This pencil technique makeup might be considered hard to achieve, but it's like drawing on canvas, in this case being your skin :). Actually this technique allows you to create fabulous designs on your face: lines, shapes and shadows.

First I draw the shapes and shadows I wanted with a black pencil, then I blended out with a brush where I wanted a smooth transition between colors or where I wanted to add dimension, filled the shapes with eye shadow and then applied rhinestones and false lashes.

This creative makeup look is inspired by Valentine's Day and I hope you like it.

Glamorous Makeup Look

Hello my girls!

I did this red carpet makeup look for a Valentine's Day TV promo a few days ago, it's a glamorous makeup look with beige and brown shades and red lips. The lighter color on the lid is Too Faced 'Bon Bon' eyeshadow, in the crease I lightly applied Parisax 'Beige naturel' eyeshadow then i blended it in the outer V of the eye with a dark mocha color 'Chocolat Noir' from Make Up Atelier Paris. I airbrushed her face with a combination of Temptu Sand Foundation and Temptu Natural Mocha Foundation.

I'm really pleased with the final look, hope you enjoy it too.

There is also available on YouTube a making of video, so if you wanna see me at work, watch it and don't forget to subscribe, I'll be posting a lot more videos soon, so stay up to date with makeup tutorials videos, making of and behind the scenes videos. Love ya!

My favourite makeup products

Hello ladies!

These are the makeup products that I personally used on my face during last year.

Foundations:

Vichy DermaBlend Foundation it's a smooth full coverage foundation, I'll have a review on it very soon.

Make Up For Ever Mat Velvet Foundation it's also a full cover foundation that I love.

Make Up For Ever HD Foundation, a medium to full coverage foundation, suitable for television, photoshoots, but also for day by day wear, I'll review it soon.

Concealer:

Estee Lauder Re-Nutriv Duo Concealer, see review here.

Mac Pro Longwear Concealer

Powder:

MAC Studio Fix Powder

I bought 4 different shades to use it on my clients too, it's my fav at this moment, it leaves a porcelain skin finish. Love it!

Face Primer:

Sephora Smoothing Primer, it's a silicone based gel, it makes your skin like velvet and it helps foundation to last longer. It's a must!

Eye Primer:

Too Faced Shadow Insurance, helps shadow to last longer on the lids.

Eyeliner:

MAC Blacktrack Fluidline it's my favourite for years, I used it as an eyeliner and as a base for smokey eyes, it's waterproof, so I'm sure that my eyeshadows will stay in place.

Mascara:

L'Oreal Volumissime x 5 Carbon Black

I use it for years and it's still my favourite mascara, it's really affordable to buy and it's the blackest black mascara I've ever used. Do you know another one that black?

Lipstick/ Lipgloss

I used NYX Soft Matte lip cream almost every day of the last year, I own a couple of shades but "Milan" it's my favourite, it's super creamy and it lasts all day long which is a plus for my busy days...

***

Do you use any of these products?

Kisses,

Valentine's Day Colourful Makeup Look

Hello there, pretty Ladies!

I thought it would probably be useful to you guys posting some Valentine's day makeup looks, so I will continue the series I started two years ago.
This makeup look is pretty colourful and bold, as I mentioned before I looove colors and I really hope you like this step by step explained photo tutorial. I had a beautiful model to create this look on and I mostly used Coastal Scents pigments which I love, I'm going to do a review on them soon.

1. After priming the lids, I applied on half of the lid a Coastal Scents golden beige pigment called 'Strawberry Blonde' that I usually use for highlighting brow bone and inner corner of the eye, I love it, it's so versatile.

2. On the center of the lid I applied a reddish pigment (Blazing Berry from Coastal Scents) and I blended it well into the lighter color

3. In the crease I applied a muted purple Coastal Scents pigment, 'Plum Brule', then I accentuated the outer corner of the eye with Bodyneeds 'Grape Soda' pigment, a bright violet pigment.

4. I lined the lower lash line with a dark blue pencil then I tapped the muted purple eyeshadow over, On the waterline I applied a white pencil

5. Along the upper lash line I applied Mac Blacktrack fluidline and I smudged it in the outer corner of the eye, just to darken it a bit

6. Just apply false lashes, highlight the brow bone and we're done with the eyes!

For the face I used Make Up For Ever HD foundation, no.120, I blushed her cheeks with MAC Dainty Mineralize Blush and I filled her lips with a bright pink lipstick from Ben Nye Creme Rouge Wheel that is actually a cream blush wheel. I filled in the eyebrows with Make Up For Ever waterproof brow gel no. 20.

The model's nail polish is Kinetics 'Hot Spot'

If you like this look share it and don' t forget to comment;)

Lots of love,

Lala

Festive Christmas Makeup

Hello, Lovelies!

So, Christmas is getting closer and I simply love this part of the year, I don' t know why, but Christmas inspires me to do a lot of creative things, maybe the good feeling I have about it, it' s because I remember how me and my sister were anxiously waiting for Santa to come till we fell
asleep and how happy we were with our presents on the Christmas morning.
Well I don' t wanna be nostalgic, that' s why I thought that I might inspire you with some festive makeup looks I did recently and please tell me which one do you want me to do a step by step photo tutorial.
