Green and yellow look

2008-09-11T17:36:00.000-07:00

No, it wasn't a tribute to our soccer team... =(
I recognize that my concealer looks way more lighter than the rest of my face. I haven't been sleeping very well lately, and I think I used too much concealer...

Vamp look

2008-09-11T17:26:00.000-07:00

I was at home, doing nothing(I mean, not doing nothing, just not doing other stuff that I actually had to do), and decided to create a vamp look! With no blush, to look more dramatic!
Oh, by the way, I'm terrible at lining. I still have a lot to learn about it.
I don't think I would go out looking like this in public (well... maybe at Halloween!). =)

Tutorial: creating an "enhanced" cleavage

2008-09-11T17:14:00.000-07:00

I always tell people that with make-up anything is possible! Even creating an enhanced cleavage! So forget stuffing your bras with tissues and socks, grab your compact powders and brushes, and let's get to work!

First I apply compact powder (the same shade I use on my face), to even out the skin color.

Then, using a big angled brush, I countour my breasts using a compact powder which is a shade darker than the one I use on my face. Blended with a big and fluffy powder brush.

And, tada!!! Bigger boobs!!

And you thought those models were perfect by nature? Hahaahhahaaha!

Tutorial: how to create a crease.

2008-09-06T21:41:00.000-07:00

A lot of people had been asked me how to create a crease (when you don't have one), so I decided to create a tutorial based on it.

With a smooth black pencil, create a line following the shape of your eyes, in the place where you should have a crease.

With a brush (here I'm using the MAC 219), smudge the line, to make it look as natural as possible.

To be like this.

Trace a line where the crease line ends, conecting it to your lid, shaping the outer coner of your eyes, like this.

Again, smudge this line, to make it look natural.

Fix it up a little bit using a q-tip.

Final result.

With eyeshadow.

If you're creating a darker look, use black pencil. For a lighter look, use a brown pencil.

Steel Blue II

2008-08-24T08:47:00.000-07:00

Last Saturday I had a very important party to go to, and, even though I was dying because of the flu (but you can't see that because of the huge amount of make-up used to hide this fact), I went there! And, since I'm still in love with Steel Blue, I did another look using it.

Coastal Scents brushes and MAC pigments

2008-08-17T12:40:00.000-07:00

Yesterday I got my MAC pigments and my Coastal Scents brushes. In the same day! So exciting!

MAC products:
When I opened the glitter base pigments, I made such a mess!They flew everywhere, and I noticed it's gonna be a little hard to use them. I think I'll never buy glitter based pigments ever again!

From left to right:
Rocking Orange (gift!!) , Crystalled Yellow, Steel Blue (lindo!), Basic Red e 3D Silver.

Coastal Scents brushes:
I had read in some blogs that these brushes have a very strong smell, and they really do! I've given them a bath, and the smell got a little bit better.
I used the foundation and liner brush, and they are great! I haven't had time to test the other ones yet.
They are very soft, but a lot of hair fell off! I did not like that!

Blue and pink, home-made mixing medium test, Everyday Minerals and Contém 1g Mattifying Primer

2008-08-10T15:16:00.000-07:00

This week I received my Everyday Minerals sample, and I got a little bit disappointed, but, at myself.
The variety of products is huge, so I kinda lost myself in so many options, and I ended up ordering two foundations that didn't match my skin.
Too bad! I'm still learning about cool and warm complexions.
The concealer is great in my opinion, but, in these pics, looks like my under eye area is lighter than the rest of my face, but it isn't in real life.
I liked the texture of the products, and I thought my skin got a little bit less oily.
And, I tested the home made mixing medium, and I recommend.
The eyeshadows last much more with it, BUT, it was a little bit harder blending them, so, you have to be a little patient if using it.
And I also tested the Contém 1g Mattifying Primer for oily skin. I thought R$26,00 was a little expensive (because I'm a cheap person!), but, it was my last try at finding a product that could control my oily skin. The skin doesn't stay oil-free for 8 hours like the salesgirl said, but, the effect lasted for 4 hours, at least. For those who have super oily skin like I do, it worths the R$26,00.

First, I start applying concealer on my lids.

Then, I apply Cores e Brilhos Butterfly Wings White e/s on my entire lid.

I applied silver e/s on crease, and out on the outer v, creating a cat eye effect.

A little bit above the silver e/s, I applied purple e/s.

Then I blended them together.

With a q-tip, I cleaned a little bit, because I think it was to close to brows.

I used again the Cores e Brilhos Butterfly Wings White e/s to highlight, right above the browbone, and on tear duct.

Curvex.

Black pencil on waterline.

Mascara.

And, done!

This look has only a hint of purple, being more silvery.

I started applying concealer and the product from Contém 1g to fix the eyeshadow. I always apply compact powder under the eyes, to catch fall outs.

Apply the pink e/s on half of the eyelid.

Apply the purple e/s in the middle of the eyelid.

With the MAC 222, I blended the two e/s together.

I didn't take any pictures of the next step, but, using the MAC 219, I applied Beauty Marked on the outer v, and crease.

Then I blended using the MAC 222.

I applied the Asa de Borboleta e/s on browbone, to highlight.

With the angled brush, I applied Beauty Marked on bottom lashline.

Black pencil on waterline.

Curvex to give definition to eyelashes.

Mascara.

And, done!!

How to apply blush part 2: making your face look thinner and correcting double chins

2008-08-04T17:23:00.000-07:00

To make your face look thinner, it's necessary to make a combination using two shades of blush, one darker and one lighter. Using the darker shade, we´re going to create a shadow effect, making the face look thinner.

Apply the blushes like this:

Red blush: that's the darker shade, used to contour. To find the right spot where to apply this blush, suck the cheeks, doing that "fish face", and apply the blush on the hollow. Blend well, so you don't get lines on your face.

Pink blush: this is the lighter shade. This blush is applied on the apple cheeks, to give that healthy look, and define the apple cheeks.

Yellow: that's the highlighter. It's applied above the apple cheeks, to give a glowy look to the face.

When applying these blushes, make sure to blend them very well, so you don't get three lines on your face.

Correcting double chins:

A double chin will become less prominent when a shade or two darker of compact powder is applied – keep the shade natural and it must be shimmer free (shhmmer can draw attention to the area, so keep all metallic, luminous, sparkley products to your eyes or lips.
Apply your shading directly onto the fullness of the double chin area – basically under your chin and blend outwards to any loose skin under the jawline to create a slimming effect on your throat.
Contouring and shading stems from basic color theory – dark colors reduce, recede and minimise, while lighter colors make larger or bring out, and are highlighting. So use darker colors to your advantage till your chin is in tip top shape!

How to use the blush to contour your face

2008-07-26T15:52:00.000-07:00

Lots of people ask me how to use the blush in the right way, so I decided to create a brief tutorial on how to use it.

The pictures are not the best, but, it gives the idea.

I didn't do a lot of types, only the most commun ones, but, if your type isn't here, email me then I'll post the format, and how to contour it.

Q: How do I know which format my face has?

A: To determine your shape, pull your hair back, look in the mirror, and draw your facial outline with lipstick or damp soap into the mirror. Done! This way is easier to see the shape of your face, but, usually people already have an idea...

Aplying the blush in the simplest way:

In front of the mirror, after having prepared your face with foundation, concealer and powder, the easiest way to find the right spot where to apply the blush is smiling. The proeminent part of your face is where the blush goes. Apply from the hairline towards the cheeks.

The blush must be two fingers away from the nose line. Don't apply it on your entire cheek! If you think you've gone too far, simple cover the excess with compact powder. It's easier than taking it off, and starting it all over again.

In this picture you get the notion where you should apply the blush. The strong color is only being used to show the right spot.

Applying the highlighter: can be applied very lightly between eye and blusher to give an almost invisible sheen. It accents and highlights both eyes and cheekbones. If you don't have a highlighter, you can use eyeshadow, in pearls and bright tones (NOT GLITTER).

And this is the correct application for the oval face as well, which is also the most commun shape.

Diamond shape:

Blush (pink): is used in small area close to the hairline about the cheekbone line.
Darker blush (red): Use a darker blush colour in the area in front of ear area. Blend well with a good blush brush. This will reduce width across the face.
Highlighter (yellow): use just a touch up near the forehead hairline and on either side of the chin area.

Heart shape:

Blush (pink): applied on cheeks.
Darker blush (red): Use a darker blush colour near ear up past eyebrow as shown on drawing by the red.
Highlighter (yellow): is used just above blush and down on sides of jaw to increase width across the lower jawline and between eye and blush.

Square shape:

Blush (pink): Use blush softly on cheekbones, to give softness and warmth to face.
Darker blush (red): Use darker blush carefully give a shadow effect on squareness of the jawline which is often predominant, and also on forehead above the temples.
Highlight (yellow): is used between eye and blush to highlight eyes and cheekbones, and can be also used on the forehead.

I hope the explanation is clear. If you have any doubt, please leave me a comment.

Buying from The Body Needs

2008-07-24T16:11:00.000-07:00

So I got the guts to place international orders, and I decided that was about time to buy my MAC pigments available on The Body Needs (http://www.thebodyneeds.com/), and then I ordered my MAC pigments.
I'm very afraid of being taxed, but, well, let's see what happens!
The price for shipping was almost the price for the order , but I didn't feel like buying a lot of pigments, because I want to know how it works first.
Afterall, it was cheaper than buying from suppliers here in Brazil, where some pigments can cost about R$15,00, and from The Body Needs it cost $1.59 (some are more expensive), even tough it's not the full jar like MAC sells.
I chose the following pigments:

3D Silver

Basic Red

Crystalled Yellow

Deep Blue Green

Steel Blue

The total amount was $7.95, and for shipping was $5.95, and in real is R$22,90. I didn't think it was that expensive, considering it's MAC...
Now I just have to wait 3-4 weeks, and then I'll post the looks using these products.

Mineral Make-Up

2008-07-24T15:52:00.001-07:00

Since I've never used mineral make-up and always wanted to try it, I decided to go to the Everyday Minerals website (www.everydayminerals.com), and place an order for a free sample kit(tutorial on how to place orders for a free sample kit can be found on the Vende na Farmácia blog http://vendenafarmacia.blogspot.com/2008/07/tutorial-da-creide-como-escolher-o-kit.html), to try their products.
You can choose your own kit with three types of foundation, one blush and one concealer, and it's very important to read the description for each product first, because the range of products is huge! Awsome!
I ordered the following products:

Foundation:

Soft Butter Peach Intensive formula

Golden-Fawn Original Glo formula

Golden-Golden Fair Matte formula

Blush:

New Smell Car

Concealer:

Multi-Tasking Concealer

The kit is for free, but the shipping isn't, so, be prepared!
As soon as I receive my products, I'll post the reviews.

And here's the description about the differences between the types of formula for the foundations, from Everyday Minerals website:

Original Glo gives your face that added touch of dewiness and long lasting coverage, and is ideal for normal to dry skin.

Semi-Matte is a more subtle glow formulated for normal to combination skin.

Matte, provides a silky smooth matte finish that is ideal for normal to oily skin.

Intensive, ideal for all skin types, provides a silky near-matte finish and controls oil where needed without drying your skin. We suggest mixing and matching formulas so you can make all the right beauty choices to fit your personality and time of year.

Red eyeshadow = evil look

2008-07-13T16:27:00.000-07:00

Last night I went to a Madonna party (Material Girl themed) and I had so much fun! I danced all night long with my friends, saw beautiful people... And, of course, I wanted a flashy-evil look, then I chose a red eyeshadow, to match with my top!

Creating different shapes using eyeliner

2008-07-12T12:41:00.000-07:00

I tried to create different shapes using:

Contém 1g eyeshadow with glitter - black

Avon Mousse Mascara Daring Definition

Avon Glimmerstick Eyeliner - Black

Kahjal

Curvex

Jordana White Eyeliner

And I came up with two shapes:

1)

Pink Smoky Eye

2008-07-10T17:52:00.001-07:00

So, to test my new Contém 1g eyeshadow with glitter in black, I decided to do a pink smoky look. Very different, because smoky eyes don't have to be all back/grey.

Products needed:

Contém 1g eyeshadow with glitter - black
Tracta e/s - Romantique
Cores e Brilhos e/s: Pink and White (Asa de Borboleta)
Contém 1g concealer
Avon Mousse Mascara Daring Definition
Avon Glimmerstick Eyeliner - Black
Kahjal
Curvex

The pencils I'll show along the tutorial.

1 - Using the concealer brush, apply concealer on lid and browbone.

2- With the pink e/s (Tracta e/s in Romantique), cover the half of your lid, and bottom lashline.

3- With the kahjal, cover the other half of your lid, and bottom lashline.

I'm going for a cat eye here, but, if you aren't, just ignore the next step.

4- For a perfect cat eye, I have a little trick: I put micropore at the end of my eye, angled, to create a perfect shape.

5 - With kahjal, I'll cover the part between the eye and the micropore.

6- Using a shadow brush, you're going to apply the other pink e/s (asa de borboleta) over the pink e/s that you used before on your lid.

7- Using an angled brush, you're going to apply the pink asa de borboleta e/s on your bottom lashline.

8 - Now, you're going to apply the black glittery e/s on your lid and bottom lashline, over the kahjal, using the same brushes (e/s and angled brush).

See this division between the pink and black e/s, on your lid? To erase that, you're going to blend them together. Using your e/s brush, you're going to do a whipershield motion, back and forth, very gently, to get rid of this line.

9- I'm using white asa de borboleta e/s as a highlighter, because I want a bright look, but you can use a regular white e/s.

10 - Don't be scared with the next picture! But, you're going to do that too! Line your waterline (upper and bottom).

11 - Curl your lashes.

12- Mascara! Mascara! Lots of mascara!

And, you're done!!

Products review: Contém 1g Black eyeshadow with glitter

2008-07-10T15:00:00.001-07:00

Since Saturday I'm going out to dance (yay), I decided to do a dramatic, flashy, glitter look, and then I thought about an eyeshadow I've seen before at Contém 1g, but I've never had the guts to buy it, because I've always thought it's very expensive!!
But, I bought it, and I didn't regret.
But, since it's a lose shadow (powder), I knew it wasn't turn out to be as flashy as I wanted it, so I tested the eyeshadow using a black base on one eye, and only using the primer from the same brand on the other eye, to see the difference.

Right eye with the black base and left eye with the eyeshadow+primer.

Right eye with the black base and left eye with the eyeshadow+primer.

Only eyeshadow+primer

A simple look that I did on Friday, 4th, to go to Echo & The Bunnymen, Gene Loves Jezebel and T.S.O.L. concert. I was so tired, and I tried my best to hide it with make-up, but I guess it wasn't enough.

My last acquisitions:

Product: Renew Age-Transforming Foundation

My opinion: This foundation really transforms the face. The skin gets more white , with a more uniform aspect. I have oily skin, but with this foundation it didn't get so oily, as it usually does.

Product: Avon Ultra Rich Color

Color: Capuccino
My opinion: It keeps the lips moisturized, but the color doesn't stay for too long.

Tutorial for a glittery look.

2008-06-27T17:03:00.000-07:00

I did my first tutorial for this look:

Products:

Eyes:

Eyelash curler
Contém 1g concealer as primer
Avon Daring Definition Mousse Mascara
Avon Glimmersticks for eyes - Black
Cores e Brilhos e/s- White
Cores e Brilhos e/s- Black
Contém 1g Glitter e/s
Eye Kohl - Black
Jordana - White Eyepencil

Face:

Cores e Brilhos Compact Powder
Contém 1g Concealer
Vult Blush Nº3

The main product for this look:

1 - Start with concealer around your eyes and on eyelids. I use it as a primer.

2- Protect yourself against fall out!! When I was applying the eyeshadow, I could see it flying around me!! Compact powder will do the trick.

3 - Using the black kohl, cover your entire lid. It doesn't have to be even. It's just a base for the black e/s. Don't go too much above the crease.

4 - Using your black eyeshadow, go over the kohl, covering your entire lid. I went up untill the crease.

5 - Now, using a q-tip, you're going to shape the eyes, and making it more even and clean. Blend the edges a little bit, so you don't have any harsh line.

6 - Using a big fluffy e/s brush, you're going to apply the glitter e/s.

And this is a shot of the e/s.

7 - Now, with gentle strokes, place the glitter e/s all over the lid. Don't pass the crease line.

8 - Line your bottom lashline with black eyeliner. I used also a little bit of black eyeshadow, just to make it really black.

9 - Take your angled brush, dip into the glitter e/s, and go over the bottom lashline

10 - I'm using white eyeshadow as a highlighter here, on the browbone untill the crease, blending into the black glittery e/s.

10- Curl your eyelashes.

11 - Highlight the browbone, blending the eyeshadow into the black/glittey eyeshadow. I'm using white eyeshadow.

11 - Wear lots and lots of mascara! If you have falsies, even better!

12 - Clean fall outs with your super fancy fan brush.

And, the finished look:

Products reviews

My last acquisitions...

Product: Ultra Rich Color Extra Volume - Choco Kiss
Brand: Avon

My opinion: I liked, but the sensation that it leaves on the lips is a little bit weird. But it really gives the lips extra volume. The lips look really full!! Actually, this one was a gift from a friend.

Product: Concealer Brand: Contém 1g

My Opinion: It covers well red spots and blends well.

Product: Fan Brush Brand: Pro-Art

My opinion: It has firm hair, and good for countouring the cheecks.

Tribute to a long time friend.

2008-06-27T08:49:00.000-07:00

I did this look in tribute to my second tattoo done. I got this dragon when I was 16, and, back then, I wanted a really big dragon, but my mom didn't let me get one. In the end of the year, I decided to add some elements on it, to make it look a little big bigger than it really was. So, to celebrate the change, I did this red/yellow/orange look!

Products:
Contém 1g concealer
Cores e Brilhos e/s: yellow, wine, gold
Campelle e/s: yellow
Avon black eyeliner
