OH, NO!

SOO,

prom plans fell through. I suppose it was to be expected since we decided to go so late. My dress was great and my make up was cool, I just didn't get to do much with my girlfriends' make up. 

So here's something from a while ago. This is one of my most favorite looks that I've done!

I love this one because I felt like a rag doll.

First I applied a white powder over my basic primer and concealer routine. For the eyes I used jet black pencil eye liner and lined the upper and lower rims of both eyes. I put extra under the lower lash line on the outer edges of each eye and blended it a bit to make it look smudged. Next I used jet black liquid eye liner to enhance the out corner of the upper lash line. Next I took silver pressed powder eye shadow and blended it around the liquid eye liner and up to the brow bone. I used a translucent loose powder shadow above the silver and extended it all the way to my eye brow. Then I used one coat of black mascara on the upper lashes only. 

For the cheeks I used a light pink pressed powder blush, applied in a circular motion on the apples of the cheeks (not following the natural shape of the face, this is a doll look) with a large brush and then lined and blended the edges of the blush with the translucent powder.

For the lips, I used a light lip balm followed by with lip liner filling the entire upper and lower lips. Next I used red red lip liner to line the edges of the lips and blended with a lip brush. I finished with a clear gloss.

This look is where my blog picture (the lips) came from! That was with a flash and no photo color changes. These first and last pictures have been altered to look half-way black and white, the second is not altered. I hope you like it!!

It sure has been a while..

HI!! I'm waving, but you can't see it from there.

^.^ I haven't been on in a while, and I haven't had time to do any make up designs lately, but  guess what's coming up? PROM! WHOOO! Who'd have thunk that I would go to prom? I certainly didn't. But this isn't just any prom for me, this is a prom WITHOUT my boyfriend. Yay! ^.^ not that I don't like him the rest of the time, but at dances, he's just no fun. It probably has something to do with the fact that he hates dancing. Huh. I don't really know though. So, in his place, I am going with my two girlfriends Kemme and Alex! (I know, you know exactly who they are, right?) And I get to do their make up! That's right, 3 faces in one night! Dang, when did I get so lucky? And the theme is Once Upon a Dream. I know, crystal clear, right? But I'm assuming that it has something to do with fairy tales. SO, we are going to wear tiara's and I am going to do some fabulous fairy-like make up, and I will post pictures on Sunday morning! I know, I am so on top of things.

So, If all goes well with my dress shopping tomorrow, everything should continue as planned and I will have so e gorgeous make up done and posted in about a week! I hope you all will like it! (that means you, Tierney and Abby).

Neon face? Sweet! ^.^

This is Kemme.
She is my other most frequent model.

This is from a few weeks ago, and I may not remember all of the steps correctly but I will do my best! ^.^

Unfortunately, the lighting was not very good, so the green looks more yellow than it is and the blue looks darker than it is.

First I prepped her face with make up remover, defoliant, moisturizer and primer. Then I applied the foundation, blending with a sponge.

Now my favorite part:  the eyes. I began with black pencil eye liner, applying it to the outer corners of the eye, upper and lower. After the liner, I used neon yellow pressed powder eye shadow, applying it to her lash line and her cheek bones. Next, I took neon green glitter pressed powder shadow and blended it into her temples, covering the arch of her eyebrows. After the neon green, I took a shimmery spring green lightly pressed powder shadow and added it lightly in a half circle shape around the outer corner of her eye. I blended this and went back to my neon green. I filled in her lids and the rest of the wing shape with this and then added glitter liquid eye liner to her lash line, and finished with one coat of black mascara.

Next I had her put on some lip balm. I used loose bright turquoise powder and a small lip brush to apply the blue to the lips. The most difficult part of lips is if they are dry or cracked. In this case, exfoliate, and when you apply the lip balm, it needs to be rubbed in extra, and that is all you can really do. Of course I didn't think of how it would look over her natural color, so I suggest for anyone who would like to try this look, start the lips with a base coat of white, using white lip liner, lipstick, or powder. I finished the lips with a coat of clear shine lip gloss.

I hope you enjoy my ideas! Please leave any suggestions!

Brands! Not that they matter too much...

Hello! ^.^ Now now I was thinking that I should share what some my favorite make up brands are. SO here they are people!!

Eye shadows:
Urban Decay, Make Up For Ever, Too Faced Beauty, Benefit Cosmetics

Eye liners and mascaras:
Fresh, Bad Gal Lash, Urban Decay

Blushes:
Benefit Cosmetics

Lips:
Stilla, InFusion Lip Plump

Foundations and cover ups:
Benefit, Make Up For Ever

Drug store brands are fine but sometimes they will not last as long (they definitely won't last all day, at least not in good quality). I am not picky, these are just the particular brands that I have come to love. I am sure I will add more soon. I LOVE Sephora! It is like a candy store.

Pink frosting on fire... teehee ^.^

Look, it's Abby again! Hi Abby!! ^.^

Last night I did a new look that was inspired by a shadow pallet that I have.

Look at all them colors! Haha. So here is what I did

 

Yay! I'm glad I have a pretty sister to use for my barbie head! ^.^ 

So I started with some Hope in a Jar moisturizer by Philosophy, then applied Make Up For Ever HD primer. After the primer, I spackled Make Up For Ever HD foundation on her forehead, under her eyes, on her jaw line, and on the bridge of her nose. I then blended it in with a sponge. This became my canvas.

After finishing the foundation, I took a medium eye shadow brush and applied a coat of hot pink shadow to the crease of each eye, then I took a fan brush and blended it a little around the edges. Next, I added some bright orange shadow to the brow bone and the cheek bone, just below the outer corner of the eye. Once the colors were on, I blended them with a soft pink shimmer that filed in the empty spaces with a less prominent color. I also added the soft pink shimmer below the eyes and applied it all the way to the cheek in order to blend the edges of the orange on the cheeks. Next, I added yellow shadow. I applied it above her left brow and under her right eye in a large, sweeping shape and again blended the soft pink shimmer to soften the edges and catch the light. After the shadows, I added some Urban Decay liquid eye liner in Oil Slick. I applied it in an angular definition of the outer lash line on each eye. Finally, I added one coat of Too Faced mascara. When I apply mascara, I have Abby look towards the inner corner of the eye I am working on. For example, when I apply it to the left eye, I have her look to the right, and switch when I apply to the left. I do this because when I was in middle school I spent a lot of time looking in the mirror and found that when you do this, your lashes spread out, which will allow for even coating of the separate lashes. And I have done it that way ever since!

Because this look is so intense and wide spread from the eyes, I did not do blush. Instead I moved straight to the lips.

For the lips I used an Aveda maroon lip stick (I did not have liner so I had to take extra care when shaping the lips.) The one thing that I love about lips is that almost no one's are perfectly symmetrical, so you get to draw outside the lines. I exaggerated and rounded her upper lip line and then filled in the rest of her lips. For the final touch, I applied some fushia lip gloss over the entire surface of her lips and then touched up the edges with a brush to make the color look more natural.

TADA!! 

I hope you like!

Takeru and Abby

This is my little sister Abby. She is often my model. I got this look from a picture that I found online of Takeru, a Japanese singer in the band SuG (you should check them out!!) Below my sister is the picture I based it on.

Greeting! ^.^

Hi hi, as you may well know from my other blog about things, I do like to say one syllable words two times each. I also like to call my girl friends by one syllable boy names that end in a prominent letter. So far, my sister is Chuck and my good friend is Frank. I was calling my cousin Mack, but it didn't stick. Probably because he is a boy.
Now, down to business: I have started this blog to post pictures of my make up and get feedback from others. I love make up, fashion, hair and everything that has to do with color and style. I am very interested in things that appeal to the human eye. These styles are inspired by several things, such as celebrities, cultures, colors, advertisements, and things I have seen. I will say in every post what inspired each particular look. I hope you enjoy!

^.^ Always,
Miss Lynne Sugar
