FFF: Peachy-Pink Cotton Candy makeup look

Friday, 27 January 2012

Another FFF (FOTD Frooti Fridays) post!
A while ago I asked for any colour combo requests and one of them was an orange-pink look (sorry, can't remember who by!).
I'd recently acquired the Kiko palette, so I used that palette for this look (swatches can be seen here again). I also received a request to do a "cotton candy" look, using pastels, so this would definitely fit the bill, but if not I can do more pastel looks if requested =) 

Products used:
> UDPP & NYX JEP in Milk
> Kiko 01 Pure Colour Extravaganza palette - beige, green, orange, pink & purple
> La Femme pressed eyeshadow refill - white
> UD 24/7 eye pencil in Zero
> MAC penultimate eyeliner in Rapidblack
> Daniel Sandler Jumbo Jet Mascara (black)
> Graftobian warm HD creme foundation
> UD Brow Box in Brown Sugar & Sleek matte black shadow
> Kiko Warm Tangerine Glow blush palette
> UD 24/7 lip pencil in Wicked & Stardust in Andromeda

After priming the eye with both UDPP and then NYX JEP in Milk, I added the beige eyeshadow on the inner corners of the eyes, then orange (which has golden shimmer to it, so looks more peachy) both with a flat shadow brush. Pink shadow was lightly added to the crease with a fluffy brush, buffing back and forth and slightly upwards. A bit of the purple shadow was also added to the crease very lightly, so as not to change the colour of the pink. The La Femme white shadow was used on the brow bone, blended down slightly too.

Using UD 24/7 eye pencil in Zero I lined the inner eye (both top and bottom) then did the topliner with MAC Rapidblack penultimate line.
To finish off the eyes, I coated the lashes with Daniel Sandler Jumbo Jet Mascara, concealed under the eyes and filled in the brows with UD Brow Box.
 
For the rest of the face I used Kiko Tangerine Glow bronzer and filled the lips with UD 24/7 lip pencil in Wicked topped with UD Stardust in Andromeda:

So there you have it.. It's fairly simple, but a nice pastel-ly look which is a stark contrast to the last FOTD!
Hope you like it and if you have any more requests, please do let me know!

Pink eyeshadow look

Wednesday, 15 September 2010

For this look I used pinks from Urban Decays two books of shadows - Vol II & Alice in Wonderland, and for the crease - Models Own (MO) "hot pink". The pink shadow "curiouser" from the Alice in Wonderland palette is actually in the original book of shadows also as "grifter" which is the actual name of the shadow (but renamed for the Alice in Wonderland limited edition).

Here's a full list of what was used (looks like a lot!!):

 
(click for close up)
> UD primer potion
> UD Vol II - "sphynx" eyeshadow
> UD Alice in Wonderland - "curiouser" (grifter) eyeshadow
> MO "hot pink" eyeshadow
> MO black kohl eyeliner
> Maybelline black line definer
> UD Heavy Metal glitter eyeliner in "catfight"
> Diorshow mascara
> UD Surreal Skin concealer in "hallucination"
> myface.cosmetics concealer in 213
> Clinique "sunset glow" blush
> UD Lip Envy in "envious"
> Sleek "pink cadillac" pout polish

After putting primer potion all over the eye, I applied UD sphynx to the eyelid with the MO shading eyeshadow brush, followed by UD grifter to the outer eyelid, from the crease and above, right til the eyebrow, blending outwards to make a winged effect where the eyebrow ends. You can use a plaster or tape from the outer eye corner to the end of the eyebrow to make a winged effect if it's too hard with a brush; it just has to be blended a little so the line is not so harsh.
Using the MO blending brush, I applied MO hot pink to the crease, blending out and in a little, making sure all colours are blended in well enough, with no obvious colour lines. 


I added a bit of grifter to the bottom lash line, and put the glitter eyeliner "catfight" on top of the shadow (on the bottom eyelid). I used the MO kohl eyeliner this time to see if it was any better than the first time I used it, and it happened to work great, a thick black colour, which worked beautifully when warmed up on the skin. The top and bottom lid was lined, using the Maybelline line definer to fill in any gaps and for a stronger black line on the top lid.

For a concealer, I decided to try mixing the two concealers I bought recently (UD hallucination & myface.cosmetics 213)... It looked ok, but as I said before, nothing comes close to the Clinique Line Smoothing concealer.. in fact these ones actually crease :(
As for the blusher, I used the Clinique sunset glow as usual on the apple of my cheeks (making the fish face for direction!), and used the UD lip stain "envious" under Sleek's pink cadillac pout polish.
The end product looked something like this:
