Pinky Punk!

Pink is more often then not connected with all things girly and cute. However, this hue can also be edgy and lend itself to a little bit of pretty punk, which is what this blog post is all about!

                    Pinky Punk Look

1. Start by targeting areas on the face that need a little No Show Camouflage Fix. Apply concealing pigments to skin using clean, warm fingertips. Dab (do not drag) the formula for best results. Don’t forget eyelids! Try the greenish hue in the palette for maximum effect in camouflaging any redness in skin (which is VERY important when using pink shades).    

2. Dust the pink Pure Pigment evenly onto lids, almost all the way up to the brow. Blend well. Then, line the inner rim of the lower lash line with the fuchsia Kajal Pen. Warm the pen up a little on the back of the hand before applying. 

3. Now, fill in brows using our Brow Shape & Shade kit. Think dramatic rather then natural. Comb brows through using the comb side of the brush provided, brushing upward and outward to fan brow hairs “away” from eyes. Next, use a bit of the darkest hue in the brow palette to define the lower lash line. 

4. Pick a pink in the Rouge Mix palette that suits your complexion and use clean fingertips to blend into the apples of the cheeks for a subtle pink lift to the face. Then, use brush to apply the same hue onto lips.

5. Finish off by curling lashes and applying several coats of your favorite POP mascara!

 Pinky must haves for a party night!

Dew & Definition

Few things exclaim “health” as much as a nice subtle dew to the skin! This blog is about that healthy glow to the skin, whether we have it naturally or need to cheat a little J

Our Pure Pigments add a glow in no time at all. I adore how multi-purpose they are – use on eyes, cheeks, lips, face, body, wet or dry! I love mixing a few sprinkles in with my primer to add a glow to skin, or mixing with a clear nail polish for a metal effect on nails. Also mix with body lotion, hair gel, foundations, lip gloss – or just dust onto your favorite shadow for a added metal intensity…the options are endless really! Here I have teamed the neutral pigment kit with my favorite electric blue liner for a dewy pop effect.

            Summer dew & definition!

 
1. Start by smoothing on Beam Base primer in Balmy Bronze. Use about a coin sized amount and buff & blend into complexion and eyelids. This treatment primer heals, nourishes, evens out the skintone and adds a super healthy glow.

2. Blend a little of one of the neutral hues in the Naturally Bare palette (pick one that is only slightly darker than your skintone) onto eyelid. Blend a touch of one of the lighter hues into the inner corner of the eyes.

3. Next, define the eyes with Ink Outliner, using small short strokes and lifting the line outward and upward towards the temples. Keep building until you have desired thickness and intensity. Then, using a flat liner brush, trace the black line with the deepest brown in the Naturally Bare palette, smudging a little to blend the two together.

4. Curl lashes and apply the No Clump Comb Mascara to upper and lower lashes. Let one layer dry before applying the next.

5. Finish off this naturally gorgeous look by smoothing BB Lip Balm in the nude hue onto lips. Defined with a touch of dew...gorgeous!

Best way to get dewy-looking skin? Eat lots of veggies!! I love making my own homemade stews & juices…Pack your diet full of water and fresh veggies, and you will see a difference in no time. But you knew that already, right? J

Current favorite glow-inducing product? Without a doubt, it’s the amazing Pixi Glow Tonic! If you have yet to try it, it’s a must! With potent natural ingredients, it is slightly exfoliating and creates the most gorgeous glow on your skin! Glow on!!

Natural with Color Clashes

Summer in the sun makes me want to go a bit lighter on the makeup then usual. I love bronzed, natural-looking skin with just a little clash of color like a bright red on the lips, or a neon orange on toenails, peeking out through sandals. This entry is about being natural, with a little pop of color clash.

My favorite palette to create a little clash of color – the Bright Delight palette! I can find at least a million ways to use it – I love using one of the hues (any of them!) smudged into lower lash line for a subtle peeper pick-up!

 A “Natural with Clashes” look

1) Even out imperfections and softly contour skin by blending No Show Camouflage Fix onto complexion. Use warm, clean fingertips and press into skin. Use the light green-yellow to counteract redness and to lighten any darkness, as well as top of cheekbones. Mix to customize concealer shades as needed to match & perfect complexion. Blend well.


2) Using the Naturally Bare palette, take the light pearl (top row, second from left) and brush onto eyelids & into the corner of the eyes. Then use the soft caramel (bottom row, second from left) into the outer corner of the crease. Blend well. Grab a slightly bigger brush and blend a little of the same caramel hue onto the apples of the cheeks and blend well.

3) Curl lashes and apply Lash Kapow mascara from roots tips of lashes using zig-zag movements. Use brush to fan lashes outward and upward, coating each and every lash. Keep building until you have a jet black, volumized and dramatic lash effect.

4)Smooth the BB Lip Balm in Pink Lemonade onto lips. Kiss off excess onto a napkin and apply one more coat. Throw lip balm into purse or pocket for touch-ups on the go and a nourishing lip treat!

5)Apply Nail Glam in Orange onto nails. Stroke the brush from base to tip, once in the center and a stroke to either side for a clean finish. Apply a second coat for more colour intensity.

     Me and my lovely sister, makeup-free apart from bright lips. Easy transition from beach to dinner!

     Kiss, swim, eat & drink proof. Can’t think of a better summer lip companion than Stain Stay. With a slight dew, this lip ink won’t budge and eliminates the need for touch-ups! The Poppy Kiss shade is that perfect tone of classic red that suits everyone. LOVE!
