Bright spring/summer look

CCee — Wed, 18 Mar 2009 05:33:58 -0700

Hi everyone,

How has everyone been? The sun is starting to shine some more here, so spring is in the air and even though I know the fall/winter looks for the upcoming fall/winter already, I'm not going to tell you anything about them until you should actually start wearing them. I'm giving you all the information about achieving this fun, spring look right now.

I thought about the last time I did a look for glasses and I was shocked at how long it's been. So in this look I'm wearing my own glasses. I got these glasses for free when I got my new contacts and they're by Pearl and are black on the outside and white on the inside, on the sides you see black and white stripes. I love wearing these glasses when I'm at home watching TV or when I'm not in the mood to stick my lenses in my eye .

For this eye I used many layers of colour but I used it sparingly and I built it up slowly because too bright means you get an eye that overpowers the rest of the face and you, which is never good. I think makeup should enhance who you are, not hide it.

Prep
Before you place many makeup on your face, make sure all the dirt of the night/day is gone, so cleanse thoroughly. My skin's starting to look normal again (a few small patches are still dry and flaky, but they're getting smaller every day). I did the dermalogica double cleanse again, I started with the Precleanse which is the cleansing oil which gives you a fresh healthy glow because you boost circulation. When you're done massaging, you add a little water to your face and the oil magically turns into a milk and you just wipe that off with a wet towel. The second cleanser I used was Ultracalming Cleanser which has a very fresh smell, in the morning I love how this smell wakes me up. After the cleansing, I used two moisturizers mixed together. I mixed the Clinique - Comfort On Call with Dermalogica - Sheer tint moisture SPF 15 which means I add a little extra colour to my skin and a SPF but also some care for my skin.

Face
Before I used a primer I used Smashbox - Illuminating Serum for brighter face which can be found in the Smashbox Master's Class Vol. 4 Rescue BeautyMaster's Class Vol. 4 Rescue Beauty, this is no longer sold via the Smashbox website, but Sephora still has it on their website. This serum is amazing, seriously it's a breath of fresh air for your skin. It gives a little brightening, but also it has Rose Seed extracts which is a great antioxidant.

As an illuminating primer (for extra radiance) I used the Smashbox - Hybrid 2 in 1 Luminizing primer from the Greenroom Collection, which is environmentally-friendly and has light diffusing ARTIFICIAL LIGHT in the inner tube and skin-smoothing in the outer tube. The Green Room collection is no longer sold on the Smashbox website, the link I provided brings you to a Swedish website where I order many products, so all the Europeans can get it there if they want to, but for Americans, the normal Hybrid has been added to the Muse collection and can be found here. The Hybrids are filled with vitamins, antioxidants and botanicals for extra skin benefits. With the purchase of every GREEN ROOM product, a Moringa tree will be planted in a developing country by Trees for the Future. The Moringa or "Miracle Tree" is a powerhouse of nutritional value and provides a self-renewing food source for people in need. More trees also mean less soil erosion and cleaner air and water for a greener future. The hybrid feels just like the normal Photo Finish but has more skincare things in it apparently, adding this not only makes my skin feel incredibly soft (the clear gel in the tube is normal Smashbox - Photo Finish Foundation Primer but also cares for it.

On my face I used Dior - DiorSkin AirFlash spray foundation which is the easiest and best way to add an airbrushed look to your skin. I love how my skin feels wearing this and the 5 seconds it takes to apply. Because I wanted my eyes to be really bright I used Smashbox - Photo Op Under Eye Brightener also on my eyes and on the top of my cheekbones. As a concealer I used two different colours of Smashbox - Camera Ready Concealer. I used the no. 3 and no. 2. The more pink colour I used on the inner corner of my eyes and the more yellow toned colour was used to hide small blemishes and around my nose. I applied this with my The Body Shop - concealer brush because I needed preciese placing and I blended with my new Dior - Foundation brush which feels amazing in my hands, it's a little heavier then the Smashbox foundation brush I have, but I only have the Travel foundation brush, so that could be the reason.

I used a fairly new product I've fallen in love with for contouring. Officially it's a bronzer, but I use it for contouring because I'm sooo damn white, it's Chanel Bronze Universal which is a Sun illuminator and gives a sunkissed glow when used as a bronzer, but also can be used a great contouring product. It's pretty expensive but you get a huge jar. I apply this with Sephora Brand - Professionnel Platinum Stippling Brush no. 44 for a light coverage, if I want more I can build up the colour, but I don't want to apply it with my fingers because that will give a smudged streaky finish. This brush is actually meant for stippling, but if I use this brush with my foundation I get a very thick layer which is something I personally don't like. I like my own skin to shine through, I (usually) like my skin and I have light freckles so I look odd without them. Maybe when I get a thinner foundation (like the Make Up For Ever - HD Invisible Cover Foundation the brush will work better for stippling, but for now it's my bronzer brush. I use this brush to apply a thin layer of the Bronze Universal on my temples working in an E or 3 to under my cheekbones and then under my jawline. Remember that you have to blend contouring colours into your hairline and ears to prevent your contouring being too obvious. I also used a little down the sides of my nose to make it seen a little smaller.

I used the Make Up For Ever - HD Powder to set the makeup, I do this with my Sephora no.45 Mineral Powder brush which is no longer sold through the website, they do still have it at the Sephora store here, so they might still have it where you love, otherwise, using the Make Up For Ever - Kabiku Brush should do just as amazing a job. Thanks to its soft-to-the-touch yet sufficiently firm nylon bristles, the Kabuki Brush makes it easy to sweep powder on the face. The width of the bristles has been specially tailored to the HD Powder packaging and the black color makes dosing the powder easy. The rounded shape facilitates the cirucular movements necessary for the light application of HD Powder. You can use a normal Kabuki for this though.

Eyes
On my eyes I used my go to Urban Decay - Primer Potion. I used Clinique - Touch Tint for Eyes, Shimmer Formula in 06 Nude Sparkle as a base colour for this eye. This is a colour that doesn't crease and gives a natural glimmer that just lights up the eyes a bit but does it sooo naturally that if you didn't know it, you wouldn't think there was a colour on the eyes.

As a base colour on my eyelids I used the silver colour from the discontinued Sephora - Paradise Island palette. As a replacement I think something like MAC Cream Colour Base in Luna should do the trick. I use a cream eyeshadow as an extra base to make the silver on top pop even more and to give the colour more dimension. I place this colour with a Sephora Brand Professionnel Large Synthetic Eyeshadow Brush no. 25, I use a synthetic brush because it's a cream eyeshadow and natural bristles would give an uneven coating of cream and I placed it up to the crease.

As a silvery eyeshadow I used Smashbox - Rapture Eye Shadow colour Shimmery White over the cream up to the crease. I used my Sephora - Professionnel All Over Shadow Brush, Large no. 21 for placement. Now I needed to add the pink colour to the inner eyecorner. I used this pink colour only on the top half of the inner eye corner, because placing it on the bottom can make you look ill/tired. Also finding the right colour for this is very important, I mixed two Urban Decay colours for this. I used a hint of Urban Decay - DeLuxe Eyeshadow in Sting and Urban Decay - Eyeshadow in Grifter placing the colours (first the Sting and then Grifter) with my Urban Decay - Wonder Brush. This brush is AMAZING!!! You have sooo much control and it really does make the application very very easy. My crease colour is Urban Decay DeLuxe Eyeshadow in Peace which can be bought as a single and is available in the Deluxe Shadow Box, I placed this very very lightly in the crease with Urban Decay - Crease brush for a precise but light application of colour.

Here is a picture of me with my eyes closed to show you where I applied everything:
As you can see I made the crease colour a Dior - Diorshow Iconic Mascara in black. I only used one coat because wanted the colour to be the statement and not the lashes. Also using more coats or falsies would make the eye less "flirty spring" and more "trying too hard" if you ask me.

Here is a picture of the finished eye without glasses to show you how the application looks:

Lips
On my lips I used another colour from the Smashbox - Master's Class Vol. 4 Rescue Beauty, this lip gloss is called Quench Moisture Rich Lip Gloss and is not sold separately, just like the serum isn't, which is a shame because these products are super! The only product I don't like from this Volume 4 is the Eye Shadow Quad in Bright Eyed because of the colours.

I hope you like this explanation, if you've got any idea's for my 100th look, let me know!!

Etherial eye and pink lips.

CCee — Sat, 14 Mar 2009 09:15:45 -0700

Hi everyone,

Here I am again... multiple posts on one day... whooooooh Aren't you proud of me??

I did an etherial eye when I went out with Nicole last weekend. I wanted it to look pretty natural but have a shimmer to pull the viewers eyes to mine. Now I took the pictures with a flashlight and without a mirror so they're not the prettiest, but they do show you how I did the makeup.

Prep
I started with a cleansed skin. Because my skin was acting up I did the dermalogica double cleanse. I started with Precleanse which is a cleansing oil. I love how this oil really takes of sooo much dirt and makeup, also this doesn't dry out my skin and the massage you automatically give your face when applying this boosts circulation which means less wrinkles . My second cleanser was Ultracalming Cleanser which is sooo soft but does really clean well. It doesn't give you a tight feeling skin and my skin has really reacted sooo well to this, it's super .
After the cleaning, I wanted my skin to look even more fresh so I used bliss triple oxygen™ - Instant energizing mask to foam my skin into a brighter version of itself.

Face
As a primer I used a tester of the Smashbox - Photo finish foundation primer SPF 15 & Dermaxyl, which feels just like the normal Photo Finish but has more skincare things in it apparently.

On my face I used Too Faced - Magic Wand Foundation in New York Light. I really love the way you can build up this foundation and the fact that the brush is built in, so when I'm not home (which I wasn't) this is unbelievably handy.

As a concealer I used two different colours of Smashbox - Camera Ready Concealer. I used the no. 3 and no. 2. The more pink colour I used on the inner corner of my eyes and the more yellow toned colour was used to hide small blemishes and around my nose. I blended this with my fingers because I wasn't home and I didn't bring the right brush.

I used a new product I've fallen in love with for contouring. Officially it's a bronzer, but I use it for contouring, it's Chanel Bronze Universal. It's pretty expensive but you get a huge jar. I apply this with (another new brush, yes I know, I'm addicted) Sephora Brand - Professionnel Platinum Stippling Brush no. 44. This brush is meant for Stippling, but if I use this brush with my foundation I get a very thick layer. Maybe when I get a thinner foundation (like the Make Up For Ever - HD Invisible Cover Foundation it will work better. I use this brush to apply a thin layer of the Bronze Universal on my temples working in an E or 3 to under my cheekbones and then under my jawline. Remember that you have to blend contouring colours into your hairline and ears to prevent your contouring looking fake.

I used the Make Up For Ever - HD Powder to fix the makeup, buttttt I only used the powder under my eyes and on my forehead, nose and chin, using a clean Smashbox - Crease brush. I used this brush because I want to keep the sheen to my face and I only want to hide the shine on my T-zone. I have a primer under my foundation so it shouldn't move, but I have a fixing spray I use at the very end of my makeup application.

Eyes
On my eyes I used my favourite Urban Decay - Primer Potion. After this I used the light grey cream eyeliner from the Smashbox (Wicked Lovely Line) - Cream liner loose shimmer pot which is on sale now on the Smashbox website. For the application I used the brush I think I use the most, I even have 2 of this brush , it's the Smashbox - Definer brush. I blended the cream eyeliner up to and a little above the crease. I also placed this cream eyeshadow on my lower lash line with the brush side of my Smashbox - Double Ended Smudger Brush.

The colour I placed with my second Smashbox - Definer brush over the grey base is the grey from the Smashbox - Eye Shadow Trio in Shutterspeed. This grey is matte, and I wanted a shimmer, so I took the Smashbox - Crease brush that I used to apply the HD powder on my face. With this brush I used the shimmer powder that's in the Smashbox (Wicked Lovely Line) - Cream liner loose shimmer pot all over my eyes and over the grey cream liner on my bottom lash line (use only the tip for this, a slightly messy shimmery look under the eyes is sexy, a big glob of shimmer is ugly if you think the brush is too big, get a smaller one for this, I picked this one because it's very fluffy so you get a very airbrushed finish).

As a mascara I used only one coat of my new (yes, another new thing... I knowwww, I was stressed and then I buy makeup) Dior - Diorshow Iconic Mascara in black. I only wanted one coat because I wanted "flutter lashes" and no huge statement. Which worked amazingly well because that night I looked natural instead of made up.

Because I didn't want my makeup to move or slip, but did want to keep the face looking the way it looked right now without adding (mattifying) powder, I used Make Up For Ever - Make Up Fixer Spray over this entire look.

Lips
On my lips I used a mini lipstick I got when I bought my Diorshow Iconic. The colour is an Dior - Addict High Shine Lipstick in Catwalk Mauve (sheer mauve plum). If you want the exact same set I got, click here.

I hope you like this look!!

False lashes and silver eyes look

CCee — Wed, 04 Mar 2009 08:59:57 -0800

Hey ladies,

Well, I always have a spare look, just in case I can't take pictures for a while, and this is the one I was holding back.
It's a pretty simple eye and the thing that makes it outrageous are the lashes.

9th February 2009

Eyes
These eyes take about 5 minutes (seriously!)
I primed my eyes with Urban Decay - Eyeshadow Primer Potion. As a concealer I used a mix of Benefit - Erase Paste and Smashbox - Camera Ready Full Coverage Concealer in no. 3. I mixed these because it's winter and my concealer is suddenly too dark for me, the Erase Paste is much lighter and more pink toned and mixing these gives me the perfect colour.

The base colour is Bourjois - Shimmering Shine Liquid Eyeshadow in 37 Blanc Chrome all over the eyes. This is a liquid eyeshadow which I blend with my finger. This gives the eye a great sheen and a light base for the rest of the makeup to stick to. A great thing I sometimes do with this eyeshadow is: Place a line from the base of my finger to the nail. I never wear rings or jewelry (except for my watch which looks like a bracelet) so adding this on my finger gives it a little bit of a quirky look. I have this eyeshadow also in a more gold colour so I use either the white or the gold for this. This eyeshadow actually holds the entire day (if I don't wash that finger to much).

But back to this eye. On the eyelid (up to and a little over the crease) I used the silver colour from the Chanel - Les 4 ombres in 95 sparkling satins, the link goes to a picture where you can see the product, I don't think it's sold in stores anymore and if you find it on e-bay it's hugely expensive, so find a silver colour like in this palette. I applied this using the Smashbox - no. 10 crease brush. So these brushes aren't just for applying makeup to the crease, you can use them in other ways.

I used the Benefit - Valley of the Starts (mini iridescence kit) which you can't get on the Benefit website anymore but I've seen it on many other websites still and it's still at the Sephora shop here, so you can probably find it if you want, but you can also use another white that has a silvery sheen and is non-glittery. I used the white from this kit under my eyes and on the inner corner (going very far in as you can see in the pictures). I placed this white using my new (favourite) Urban Decay - Shadow Brush.

I took up the Urban Decay - 24/7 Glide-on eyeliner pencil in Zero to line my waterline (top and bottom). I also lined my top lash line with this pencil.

If you want to make it ready for a party (like I did) get some false lashes and add these to your top lash line. I used some lashes by Essence which are not the ones they show on the website. They cost me E2,95 so, they're REALLY cheap. I use the Make Up For Ever lashes for "big parties" but this was a children's party that would last 3 hours so I didn't need anything to impress hugely. These lashes are actually pretty good, but you can only use them once, and the band is so weak, that when you take them out of the packaging you can damage it. Still if you're careful it should work. (I think Essence is only sold in Europe, so maybe someone from the US knows some great cheap falsies you can get over there).

Because you can't really re-use these lashes, you can really blend them into your own lashes by adding mascara (only to the base, if you add it to the tips the lashes will look ugly). Place your finger on top of the falsies to make sure you blend the lashes together and not get mascara on your eyelid. I used Urban Decay, Bit Fatty Mascara in Black-black.

Final eye:

What do you think?
I'll work on the Challenges when my skin starts acting normal again, which I hope will be this weekend.

Big hug,
CCee

Fantastic Nails

eu — Sun, 11 Jan 2009 11:12:02 -0800

This is my favourite nail color at the moment, I just got it few days ago. I checked one of CCee's blogs to do the all manicure. So I am only going to post the products I have used plus the final result.

I prefer to use wooden stick to push cuticules.
From left: quick dry spray, vitamin enriched cream to strengthen the nails and remover.

From left: hydra-cuticles, the Fantastic Chanel nail color, base & top coat.

Thank you CCee for taking your time to share all your tutorials with the rest of us

I hope you all like the color and the final result!!!!

Such a cute little makeup brush set - I love the foundation brush especially! The little pouch has pockets for each brush and there is a plastic brush head protector for each brush.
