Askmewhats Version: "Summerified!"

Thank you everyone for the appreciation of my simple nail art :) My dear readers made me go on, inspires me to create more! :) Thank you!

This post is for Yumeko, girl! I know you've been waiting for matching nails and makeup!!! Finally!!!! Hope you like my version of "Summerified"!!!!

Here's my final version!



And this is what I did
to achieve this look!



Prior to make-up application
Primed my lids with CS White Gel Liner
to make the e/s stick and more vibrant



Step 1:

With a smaller crease brush, apply matte orange e/s on the outer V, blending inward. I am using AREZIA palette, my first palette I bought from Strawberrynet (not good quality e/s so skip this lol)



Step 2:

Using MAC242 or any flat shader brush stiff enough for pigments, pat on Tangerine Pearl Mica from Coastal Scents on the crease area going a bit beyond, reaching close to the Orange color on Step 1.


Step 3:

Pat on NYX Ultra Pearl Mania Gold on the center of the lids.


At this point, everything looks separated and harsh. Time to use a blending brush to blend all the colors together, if pigments are falling out, re-apply those pigments til you are happy :)

Optional:

You can deepen the outer V with a matte grayish brown e/s, I used MAC's Coquette.



Step 4:

Line your uppler lashline with CS Gel Liner in Deep Plum, your desired thickness.


Step 5:

On the lower lashline, line the bottom part with Fashion 21's Lagoon eyeshadow Stick, line CS Gel Liner Deep Plum over it to create colorful looks.

Did you know that?
The eyeliners represent the colorful rhinestones I've used on my nails


Here's how they look like
all together!





I added some "oomph" on my summer look!
Applied "natural" falsies
with Ardell Lash Grip Eyelash Adhesive



Put on P&J Curly Mascara in Black
to combine the natural lashes
and falsies together



I think I am loving this falsies!



What's on the rest of my face?



Joppa Foundation iN Medium Light #2
this shade is a bit dark on me now
but PERFECT for summer

For my Cheeks



P&J face Color
using Thevi's Dome Brush

For the lips



Bath & Body Gold lip gloss
on top of Kiehl's Lip Balm no. 1

I use only gloss to create a very simple shimmery lips, it's summer time anyways, no need for super dark lips! :) And the eye make up is bold enough so I'll go for subtle lips

Yumeko!!!! I hope you like this!
My hard work is covered with my
darn hands! :P



Hope you enjoyed this!
I had fun creating this look! :)
Stay happy!

  29. Yu, my pleasure, I have to put a pop of color to represent my rhinestones and I'm glad you appreciate it.

    Catherine, oooh P&J blush doesn't fail me :) Thanks

    Prettybeautiful, thanks to Yumeko's request, now we all know we can match our nails with makeup :D

    ReplyDelete
  30. i tried using the CS white gel liner as a base and you're right it does make it more vibrant but it makes e/s blending harder. do you have any tips?

    ReplyDelete
  31. i like how flushed your cheeks are looking in the last pic nikki. and the fake lashes look natural on you! i have a few sassi brand fake lashes and they look like them too.

    ReplyDelete
  32. beautiful! i love that palette too :)

    ReplyDelete
  33. orange looks good on you!! :) and the nails, you are so good at it. i attempted and sucked A LOT. haha. :)

    ReplyDelete
  34. so pretty! and that P&J blush looks so great on you.

    ReplyDelete
  35. Crystal, you start by patting the e/s first, do not blend the colors at once , it'll help as it is hard to blend coz the cream is still sticky the first time you applied it, try patting it first, go on with the other colors before you slowly blend them! HTH

    Jo, thanks, I'm glad you like the flush, very summery :D That's my goal :)

    Vanessa M, thanks sweetheart!

    Care G, have you tried the gradient nails? Give it some more time, more trial and error :)

    Connie,thanks, I love that P&J blush :)

    ReplyDelete
  36. So pretty Nikki!! It really matches your nails too!! hehehe!!

    i hate it when you can match the e/s with nail polish. i can't wear NP...
