A Pop of Red Tutorial

This was my face today, 2/28.
Ingredients: 
MAC Paint Pot in Soft Ochre
Lime Crime Magic Dust in Nymph
Lancome Sensational Effects Eye Shadow in Luxe Grey(Matte)
MAC Hello Kitty Edition Powder Blush in M03
Estee Lauder Projectionist High Definition Mascara in 01 Black
Lime Crime Lipstick in Retrofuturist
Brushes:
CVS Brand essence of BEAUTY Conceal
Sephora Angled Liner 15
CVS Brand essence of BEAUTY Eyeshadow
Sephora All Over Shadow Small 23
CVS Brand essence of BEAUTY Blush

First, pat the concealer brush into the paint pot, which we are using as an eyeshadow base.  Pat that onto your eyelid, but don't use too much.  Next, slide a damp Angled Liner brush through black eyeshadow.  Line your rims.  You may use black liner if you'd like.  I don't have any.  Then load up your Small All Over Shadow brush with Nymph, and pack it into your inner corners.  Smudge the black; I used the essence of BEAUTY Eyeshadow brush since it has a nice domed shape.  Next, put a little bit of blush on the apples of your cheeks.  I used a cute pink color.  Then apply mascara on your top lashes only.  Finally, swipe a bright red lipstick on your lips straight from the tube.  I used Retrofuturist by Lime Crime.  Gorgeous!

Review: Lime Crime Countessa Fluorescent and Mirror Mirror

The glee hasn't faded!  This time the love is for Countessa Fluorescent, a Barbie pink.  This color is my favorite.  It's really opaque, but can sheer out into a nice light pink.  Doe did a really nice job on this one.  Mine is almost gone, as you can see here.
It's a little drying, but its nothing a little Chapstick can't fix!

I also wanted to show a newly aquired Magic Dust, in Mirror Mirror.  It's a beautiful silver.  When applied with a fluffy brush, it sheers out into a nice hint of silver.  When applied with a damp angled brush, its a molten silver liner.  Either way, it's beautifully pigmented! 
 The only problem is that its messy.  Right now I have it all over my hands and arms!

This is a simple look I did with Mirror Mirror and Countessa Fluorescent.
Kisses!
