AMW Version: This Is How I Do It with Revlon's CustomEyes

Remember my review on Revlon's CustomEyes Shadow and Liner in Metallic Chic?  Since I tested on the eye makeup, I might as well continue and complete the rest of my face as I do miss my own AMW Version!  

Don't get me wrong, the palette isn't a miss, I did say it works better than the rest of the Revlon palettes but I personally like the other palettes from the same line in different shades!  

I have been reaching out for this palette a couple of times and even used the "golden yellow" shadow shade all over the lids when I visited the cemetery!  I know it sounds crazy but hey, I do want to look good when I visit my loved ones who are in heavens!  

My finished eye makeup

Before the eyeshadow application:

Since the shadow does not adhere to my lids, I apply a good amount of MAC Paint Pot in Coral Crepe (Thanks Connie for this!).  Feel free to use any paint pot shades or eyelid primer.

Step 1:
With a flat shader brush, apply the bronzey-orange eyeshadow all over the lids with a gently "patting" motion.  Use a huge fluffy brush to remove fall outs if necessary.

 

 

Step 2:

With a blending brush, apply the metallic green shadow on the outer-v including the outer lower lash line.  Apply more as needed and blend with a wiper motion.

Step 3:

With the other side of the flat shader brush, pat on the Golden Yellow eyeshadow shade at the center of your lid to blend in the bronzey orange and metallic green shade.  

Step 4:

With a pencil brush, apply the silver gray shade or the "liner" of the palette on the outer line of the eyes and outer lower lash line.  Applying with this style can change a bit of your eye shape giving an illusion of bigger eyes.

Lined my eyes with Revlon's CustomEyes Liquid Liner in Black

Apply Lancome's Le Crayon Khol in Teal on the waterline

Curled my lashes and applied coats of Bobbi Brown Lash Glamour Extreme in Black.

Voila!  Quick and easy eye makeup

Askmewhats Version: "Shiny, Shimmery, Splendid" Look

I have done many FOTD's in the past and most of them consists of matte and a bit of frost, seldom have I tried using dominant shimmery shadows as I find it quite hard to do it nice enough for photos. Well there's always time to practice and there's always a first time! Here's my version of a Shiny, Shimmery and Splendid eye look, a whole new world of difference when I changed my regular black or brown eyeliner to a colored one! Yes, it's Barney Eyeliner color! :D

Final eye look

Prior to eyeshadow application:
Prime my lids with MAC's Shadestick in Beige-ing.

Step 1:

Using a flat shader brush (Mac's 242), pat on Inuovi Dust in Moonstone. Add if needed til you reach desired result.

Step 2:

Using a blending brush, apply MAC's Falling star on the outer v, blending harsh lines. Add more color if needed

Step 3:

Using the same blending brush, deepen the outer v by applying a matte brown e/s, I am using Milani's Chocolate Brown, making sure to blend in harsh lines again.

Step 4:
Apply highlighting powder on the browbone area going straigth to the inner corner of the eyes.

Step 5:
Line your eyes with Coastal Scents Gel Liner in Deep Purple. You can use any colored gel liner/pencil liner or liquid liner.

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!
