Madd Style Cosmetics: Death Star Drama

Hi hi hello!  :)

Recently I posted a look in the Madd Style Cosmetics Facebook Fan Page (click here to request to join, if you're not already part of the fun!) and the lovely Barbara requested that I do a tutorial for it.  Low and behold is the tutorial! 

If you'd like to find out how I achieved this look:

EOTD: Golden Inglot

Last night I had to go back to work for a couple of hours to do something and I decided to put on some makeup for the occasion!  I find that I haven't been wearing makeup to work as much as I had at one point in time--but inspiration caught me yesterday and I couldn't help myself.

My "neutral" Inglot palette has been sitting out on my computer desk these past few days and I think that was the main inspiration for this look.  Especially, considering, all of these colours came from that palette!!  What I ended up liking about this look is that I mixed some cool taupes/browns with a warm lid colour and I think the effect was kinda nice.  I do wish, however, that I had a warmer duct highlight.  I think that might have helped to pull it together a bit more.

Here was the result:

  

So what did I use?  Well let me tell you!

• The All Natural Face Magic Eyeshadow Primer
• Inglot's 363 Matte in the crease (it's a grey taupe) and outer lid
• Inglot's 419 Matte applied to the lid (a neato metallic antique gold)
• Inglot's 329 Matte (dark brown) applied to the outer lid and deepest part of the crease
• Inglot's 395 Pearl applied to the duct and below the brow
• A mixture of 363 and 329 on the lower lash line
• A bit of Inglot's 64 AMC at both lash lines (applied with a push liner brush to just darken the lash roots)
• A tiny bit of Inglot's 390 Matte (a light beige) to blend more in the crease
• Gabriel Color Mascara in "Black"

And blend blend blend!

Thanks for dropping by!!  If you own any Inglot colours, which ones are your favorite?

EOTD: Steely Inglot

Hi hi!

Yesterday evening I saw the new Superman (Man of Steel) movie and was inspired to use some Inglot colours and do something "steely" for the occasion.  Here's what I came up with!

 

I always get excited when I find a good reason to use a bunch of my Inglot colours.  They are such a joy to work with!  This look also contributed to me being able to use some of my newest brushes (and I really need to put together a post soon showing you all some of my recent new favorite brushes!).

Here is a list of the products used:

• Eyeshadow Primer (I'm not going to say which brand because I recently have come to suspect that they sell their primer as "vegan" when it isn't!)
• NYX Eyeshadow Base in "White"
• Inglot 376 Matte (dark grey) applied to the crease
• Inglot 501 D.S (light matte grey with sparkles) applied above 376 to blend out the dark grey
• Inglot 451 Pearl (metallic gunmetal) applied to the lid
• Inglot 318 Matte (white) applied under the brow
• The duct is a mixture of 318 Matte and 501 D.S.
• A tiny bit of Inglot's 349 Matte (a taupey brown) through the crease
• Inglot 65 AMC (black with silver sparkles) on the outer lid and outer lower lash line.  I also smudged this colour a bit along the upper lash line.
• The lower lash line is 451 Pearl for the most part
• Urban Decay 24/7 liner in "Zero" to line the upper and lower waterlines
• Gabriel Color Mascara in "Black" applied to the upper and lower lashes

And that's that!  Have you seen the new Superman?  What makeup did *you* wear for the occasion?  :)

Madd Style Cosmetics: Greeeeeeeeeeeeeens!

Hi, hello!  *waves*

I cannot believe it is already the last day of May!  HOLY SMOKES!  Where did the time go???  

Summer has come back to us in Vancouver and so I've been feeling the bright colours lately.  Another thing I've been digging is putting a bright "colour" in the duct instead of the traditional white or sparkly white-ish colour.  Those ingredients combined to make the following look:

EOTD: Sugarpill Brights

You know how sometimes an idea will pop into your head and then you can't rest until that idea becomes reality?  Today I had visions of Sugarpill's Buttercupcake intermingling with Acidberry and I knew I had to make it a real thing!

Here is the result:

I used quite a lot of my pressed Sugarpill colours to achieve this look and I was quite pleased with how it came out!

Products used:

• The All Natural Face Magic Eyeshadow Primer
• NYX Eyeshadow Base in "White"
• Sugarpill's Buttercupcake in the inner crease and blended up into the base of my eyebrow
• Sugarpill's Acidberry in the outer crease and blended in toward the Buttercupcake
• Sugarpill's Mochi on the inner half of the lid
• Sugarpill's Velocity in the second half of the lid (leaving some room at the very outer edge of the lid)
• Sugarpill's Poison Plum in the outer most part of the lid and the outer most part of the lower lash line (where I layered it on top of Velocity)
• A bit of Sugarpill's Afterparty to blend the Poison Plum into the Acidberry
• Sugarpill's Tako under the brow
• Sugarpill's Lumi in the duct
• A bit more Mochi and Velocity on the lower lash line
• Urban Decay 24/7 pencil in "Zero" to line the upper and lower waterline
• Inglot's Gel Liner in "77" for the upper liner
• A tiny bit of Sugarpill's Bulletproof to smooth out the upper liner
• Ardell #120 lashes
• Gabriel Color Mascara in "Black"

Ooooh yes!

What is *your* favorite pressed Sugarpill shadow?  I really can't decide!  I love them all and I can hardly wait for Sugarpill to release their new pressed shadows in the summer.  I'm hoping most of them are vegan!!

Thanks, as always, for stopping by.  :)

Madd Style Cosmetics: Colourful!

Hiiiiii!  :)

The other day I was checking around the Madd Style Cosmetics FB fan page to see what colours the lovely ladies wanted to see used.  The *ever* wonderful Tiffany (yep, the very same one that was one of the original models for MSC!) requested that I use some Frankenberry and I just could not resist her or it (it's a lovely cool-toned light pink).

This was the result:

EOTD: Multi-Company Mash-Up (Sugarpill and Madd Style Cosmetics)

Helloooooo!

Tonight I had the idea to combine Sugarpill's Acidberry & Velocity with a darker blue by Madd Style Cosmetics on the lid.  I wasn't sure if I was going to go for a more blackened lid look, but I do like how it all turned out in the end!  Mixing bright creases with a smokier lid sure is a fun time, I think!  What do you think?

Products used:

• The All Natural Face Magic Eyeshadow Primer
• NYX Eyeshadow Base in "White" applied all over the lid and blended up into the crease/below the brow bone
• The All Natural Face Black "Eyeshadow Primer" (I use this as a base, not a primer.  It creases A LOT if you try to use it as a primer) applied over the mobile part of the lid
• Urban Decay 24/7 pencil in "Yeyo" to line the lower lash line and tear duct area
• Sugarpill's Acidberry applied to the crease
• Sugarpill's Velocity applied to the deeper part of the crease and layered/blended into Acidberry
• Madd Style Cosmetics's Psychic Paper applied under the brow and blended down into Acidberry
• Madd Style Cosmetics's Cheat Code applied to the lid and blended up into Velocity
• Sugarpill's Acidberry and Velocity applied to the lower lash line
• Madd Style Cosmetics's Dreamer's Dream Potion applied to the tear duct
• Korres Eyeliner Pencil to line the lower waterline
• Sugarpill's Tako to set the white pencil on the waterline
• A bit of Urban Decay's 24/7 pencil in "Zero" to tightline the upper lashes/line the upper waterline
• Sugarpill's Bulletproof applied dry as a smoky liner on the upper lash line
• Gabriel Color Mascara in "Black" applied to the upper and lower lashes

Yep yep!!  What colours did *you* wear on your eyes today?  :)
