CURIOUSLY BEAUTIFUL

Hi parfait beauties, I have missed everyone and missed blogging like no man's business. I tried doing a picture tutorial last week but the weather and lighting wouldn't let me win so I threw in the towel and had green tea with lemon instead (the joys of rainy season...lol) However I promised myself that I would post a tutorial today no matter what.

 

The look I did today was inspired by the sleek "curious" eyeshadow palette. I used to love this palette so much and used it every single day till I thought I lost it and what do you know, the prodigal palette returned today.

 

Without further rambling I present a look I appropriately titled "CURIOUSLY BEAUTIFUL" Enjoy the tutorial and as always all products will be listed below.

ALL HAIL THE QUEEN....Latifah's Makeover.

Hello parfait beauties. Its a beautiful Monday morning and I just love Mondays. Mondays remind me of a new chance, a new opportunity to start afresh and do what I couldn't do last week (basically this is me trying to get you to love Mondays :))

Today I will be sharing the products and a bit on how I achieved this look on Latifah. Latifah is fast becoming my muse and I just love that she shares my passion for minimal eyes and dark lips and did I mention she has impeccable fashion sense?

She was going for an evening event and she had an all white and nude ensemble so I decided to keep the look clean and simple, neutral eyes, winged liner and drama on the lips.

 

I started by applying Clarins beauty flash balm ( love this product) mixed with black up mattifying primer to moisturize and fill in her pores and also mattify any shiny areas on her skin.

Then I mixed blackup cosmetics full coverage foundation in number's 5 and 7 with blackup mattifying fluid foundation in number 7 (sounds like a lot I know but I had to mix to get her exact match and they also served as concealers for highlighting and contouring)

I set under her eyes with blackup two way cake TW01 and set the rest of the face with TW01 and TW11.

I applied Jordana bronzer for some light and contoured slightly with sleek contour kit in medium followed by Blackup blush in NBL 10 to the apple of her cheeks.

For the eyes, I filled in her brows with black opal eyebrow pencil in brown, the applied blackup sublime powder in PS06 to her entire lid with a fluffy blending brush. I applied some blackup pearl powder to her inner tear duct for some sparkle. Then lined her upper lash line with blackup pen eyeliner and lining the lower lash line with Blackup khol pencil.
I finished off by adding two coats of blackup vibrating lengthening mascara to her lashes.

 

 

Finally for the lips (My fave) I lined her lips with blackup matte lipstick in M29 and filled in the rest of the lips with Blackup lipstick in no 13

 

 



And there you have it, she was ready to take over the world....well take over the party heheh.
Have a Parfait week dolls. See you in my next post. xoxo

1. Start with clean eye area. I applied a gold highlight to my brow bone area.

2. I applied a midtone brown to my crease blending out to meet the brow bone highlight

3. Next I applied a pink shadow to the crease.

4. I then applied a black eyeshadow to the outer v.

 

 

5. I applied the same pink eyeshadow to my eyelid area blending into the black on the outer v.

6. I applied a glitter primer and then followed with pink glitter to the middle of the lids

7. Next I applied a black liner to my upper lash line.

8. Before applying the false lashes I applied some pink eyeshadow and glitter to the lower lash line.







 

9. I applied some concealer to my under eye area.
