So I do a lot of crazier or more editorial tutorials. I just prefer to do more off beat looks that haven't been done before, really. But I do have a nice new everyday type look for those who like a more subdued look, or are looking to update their face routine with some newer or different products.
A lot of wearable lools can get looked over easily because a lot of women can apply make up quite nicely. But in case you are new to make up, or are looking to get into make up and want to know some helpful hints so your parents aren't saying "wipe off your face!" or "your too young?" or the lovely "your eyes look racoon like..." So here is same answers and hints to some age old questions about basic beauty. You simply can't get to the crazy stuff the way you'd like to when you don't know the simple stuff...
Sooooooo on with the look....My best advice is wake up a little earlier than you think you may need to or even want to. It makes all the difference in the world when it comes to your make up, but you can still use your time wisely, my steps make it possible believe it or not.
1. I like to cleanse first before any application. My prepping begins first with removing anything from the face with cleanser and water or at least a makeup remover wipe. I really like the CVS make up remover wipes, they are comparable to PONDS. I like their exfoliating wipes (green package), and the blue package (make up remover and deep cleanser wipes, with texture), and the pink CVS wipes (make up remover and deep cleanser wipes with age defying help and texture), I don't care the CVS basic make up remover wipes, they aren't textured and they aren't deep cleanser wipes. This bag is a blue one also, but the difference between the other blue bagged make up remover wipe that does contain a cleanser as well as make up remover and has the added bonus of texture, is that the make up only remover one has a blue face and a blue bag. The blue one that has the 3 in 1 is a blue bag with white all over the front and the rest of the bag is blue.
2. Now after the cleanser or water has dried I like to prep the face with an oil free lotion. I use the MAC Studio Fix Lotion (it is oil free), but it doesn't matter what you choose. If your stuck consult with a make up counter person, and only purchase from a counter you feel good about purchasing from. I let this sit for a whopping 10 minutes. You can make coffee in this time, eat a bowl of cereal or continue the look. Just don't apply anything to the face after the moisturizer at this point.
3. Now take eyelid primer. I like the Tarte Lifted eyelid primer a lot. This is a translucent base for your lids. I go on the lid, and up to the brow bone with a few strokes of the wand. Not too much, or you'll create a counter effect with the lid primer. The Tarte Lifted is very nice. I like it more than the UD Primer Potion, and it adheres shadows better than the Too Faced Shadow Insurance. Thats my opinion. NARS came out with one as well Its OK. The Kat Von D one in Skin is basically like concealor in my opinion. I also heard Palladio from Sally's Beauty Supply has one, NYX came out with one, and so did Loreal Hip. You can also dab your base under the eye, tear duct, outer corner where a wing may be.
4. Now take lip conditioner. I like the MAC lip conditioner in a stick, or the tube, I hate balm. Nivea Rejuvenate Q10 is fantastic, but Chapstick or Bonne Belle will work too. I let this set into my lips until the end of the make up time when I apply my liners and lip prodcuts.This allows for perfect lips that aren't dry or chapped ever. I also like to do this before bed. You'll wake up with wonderful lips.
2. Apply MAC's Nude Cream Base, Painterly Paint Pot, or any skin tone base to the lid, and tap a little on the lid, only, and stay below the crease.
3. Now take an eyeshadow that is a nude type of color I like MAC's Orb, Tissueweight (Pret A Papier), Sand & Sun (MAC To The Beach), or UD in ABC Gum or Foxy. Pat this color onto the lid only with a flat shader brush to set the nude base. This will neutralize the lid and make it appear as if you are not stressed out or tired because it will look like your natural lid without veins for the most part.
4. Now take MAC's Naked pigment or MAC's Naked Lunch eyeshadow (frosty pinky biege) and the MAC 217 and apply it into the crease, and up to the brow bone.
5. Using the MAC 217 again, take MAC's Crystal Avalanche (shimmery white) and apply it into the center of the lid and the tear duct. This will make your eyes pop and look even more awake.
6. Using Urban Decay's 24/7 liner in Yeyo (shimmery white) apply it onto the water line for that doe eyed look.
7. Set the waterline with MAC's Crystal Avalanche eyeshadow so that it doens't budge ever, so your not reapplying as your eyes water throughout the day naturally.
8. Now take Urban Decay's 24/7 liner in Gunmetal (shimmery dark grey) and apply it to the lower lashline.
9. Using MAC's Feline or Smolder Kohl Power liner (black liners) apply to the upper lash line. Pull the lashline taught, and taking small even strokes, apply to the upper lash line for depth. Don't male the line too thick. It should serve to just define and make lashes appear darker and denser.
10. Using MAC's eyeshadow in Knight Divine (shimmery dark grey) and the MAC 219, go under the lash line and smudge out UD 24/7 liner in Gunmetal. This will also set it.
11. Using the same eyeshadow Knight Divine and the MAC 219 do the same to the upper lashline.
12. Using your favorite mascara define lashes. Start at the base of the lashes, and wiggle your way up, get very lash, and don't pump the wand. This only causes bacteria and more air to get into the tube, and it shortens the lifespan of the mascara and dries it up.
13. Hold the mascara wand vertical and do the same for the lower lashes.
14. Use your favorite blush. I like MAC's Pinch O Peach, its a yellow based pink, its neither too pink or too peach, its just right, if your really fair, and justg want a hint of color I like Well Dressed, or Tenderling, or if you need color in your face I like Desert Rose or Posey Blushcreme, if your medium like me I like Pinch O Peach, Peaches, or Cantaloupe, or Ripe Peach Blush Ombre, If your darker but not too deep, I like Pinch Me or Style or Mocha, or if your deep but not the deepest, I like Raizin, Vintage Grape Blush Ombre, Dirty Plum, or Burnt Pepper. If your very very dark I like the crazier blushes for you, I like radiant violets, I like too see Azalea, I like Devil, and Frankly Scarlet. These are all MAC colors.
15. Now apply MAC's lip pencil in Stripdown, Spice, or Hodge Podge. All will work. Those are just warm soft brown nudes. Fill in lips and line and contour. Now take a dab a pea sized amount of Hush for both lips. Hush is the "bridal color" by OCC. Just a nice wearable bright nudey pink. These taste a little minty, but not over kill. I put a little bit of MAC's Easy Lounger (MAC To The Beach) on top for some shine once the OCC Lip Tar dried a little.

Cartoon Inspired Make Up: Eeyore From Winnie The Pooh
So I was looking for something cute and unique to get inspired by, and I was thinking...cartoons! The Winnie The Pooh Christmas Special was a favorite of my sisters as well as mine growing up. Eeyore seemed to be the most inspirational character for me to do a look inspired from...He's so cute, and his colors are vibrant. This it is not a Christmas look, but I was thinking of the Winnie The Pooh Christmas Special when I was thinking of one of my favorite all time cartoons I liked to watch growing up.
Although Eeyore is known to be a little depressed from time to time, he is still a cutie, and you certainly won't feel depressed in the look. Not with all the compliments you'll get! So if you are a girly girl, and you love blue, violet, and pink here is a girly girl look with cool colors with some sparkle and shine.
I utilized all of Eeyore's colors....no stones unturned!
1. Apply Urban Decay Primer Potion to the eyelids.
2. Using Make Up Forever's Ford Gras Flash Color (cream eyeshadow) in their deepest indigo blue, apply to eyelids with finger tips gently or with a stiff brush. Try to keep the product even on the eyelids.
3. Using a shader brush and Urban Decay's eyeshadow in Kiddie Pool (rich sky blue just like Eeyore with shimmery iridescent sparkles) and pat over cream base, and a little into the crease. Using an angled shader brush make sure color application is even in crease. Urban Decay's eyeshadow in Kiddie Pool is important, it is the body of Eeyore. If you want a non-shimmer pretty pale shade I also really like Winkle from MAC.
4. Apply Urban Decay's eyeshadow in ABC Gum to brow bone. Next apply MAC eyeshadow in Pincurl (iridescent cool toned frosty white from the Love Lace Collection) to the outer brow bone for a highlight color. This color just softens the look.
5. Next apply Urban Decay's 24/7 blendable eye pencil in Yeyo (white) to the inner tear duct for optimum highlight effect, and also opens the eye since the colors are soooo rich, and then apply MAC's eyeshadow in Pincurl over it, and blend out so the tear duct doesn't look harsh.
6. Now take Make Up Forever's eyeshadow in #92 (matte dark purple) and using a small angled brush like the 272 or 275 from MAC sweep part way into crease from the outer eyelid. Angle up into a wing shape in the outer corner with a make up remover wip eof Q-tip. This may take work. Frosts, shimmers, and mattes are harder to blend together. But soooo worth it. This dark purple is for his hair color. How cute!!
7. Now take Urban Decay eyeshadow in Hot Pants (shimmery pink) and apply into the inner part of the crease. Blend well so it diffusese into the dark purple. The sweet pink color is for his snout and inner ears.
8. Now take Urban Decay eyeshadow in Jinx or any real true royal blue with shimmer and blend into the very outer corner of eyelid for depth.
9. For the inner portion of eyelid (not highlight in tear duct) take a shimmery sparkley mineral make up lavender like Bare Mineral's in Berry Flambe or Micabella Shimmer Powder in #96 Nuisance, or try Urban Decay eyeshadow in Asphyxia and pat onto the inner eyelid. This color cover's his tummy color.
10. Reapply Urban Decay eyeshadow in Kiddie Pool to the center of lid. I want the Kiddie Pool to really pop out since it is Eeyore's body color. Do this step as well for any of the other colors that may have suffered any overblending or blurring.
11. Clean up any fall out.
12. Take Urban Decay's 24/7 blendable eye pencil in Lust (electric violet) and draw in the waterline, and under the lashline just a little.
13. Now take Urban Decay's eyeshadow in Kiddie Pool (again) and press into the MAC 219 dome stiff pencil shader brush and apply under the eyes for an eyeliner color, use Kiddie Pool to set the Urban Decay 24/7 liner in Lust.
14. Take Make Up Forever's eyeshadow in #92 (matte dark purple) and the MAC 219 again, and darken the outer corner of the under eye area for depth and blend out with the 219.
15. Using Kat Von D's felt tip pen in Trooper (black) and apply to lash line in a small line just to deepen the eyelash bed color. Eeyore's eyelid does droop a bit, works for him, but won't be cute as part of any beauty make up look.
16. Take Ardell's fashion lashes in #113 black (looks like MAC #2's, you can see website for reference). These lashes are long lovely and flirty. Apply with clear glue. wait for glue to become tacky. Press outer corners down and marry your lashes by squeezing the centers together. This way you don't look like you have two sets of lashes. Try an eyelash applicator if you want, some tweezers to hold if your fingers are larger or shakey, please don't push down with a pencil! Ouch!
17. Using Urban Decay's glitter eyeliner in Air Guitar (sparkley sky blue) follow the lash band shape once the eyeliner and the lashes are dried and secure. This will add some sparkle and cover the lash band. Too Faced, MAC and NYX Candy Eyeliners are all brands that make good glitter eyeliners. Choose a sky blue. It makes the UD eyeshadow in Kiddie Pool really pop.
18. Clean up fall out, moisturize or prime face. Apply Benefit's Moon Beam (gold illuminator for a dewey sheen) to area under eyes, nose bridge, forehead, and cheekbones.
19. Apply foundation and setting powder.
20. Sweep NARS blush in Orgasm onto the apples of cheeks (peachy with shimmer) and blend back into hairline. This peachy color is for his sweet little snout, and yes I know I covered his snout before.
21. Sooooo....one color I didn't cover...the bow on his tail!! Apply Too Faced lipstick in Marcia Marcia Marcia (bubblegum frosty pink) and apply MAC Dazzleglass in Like Venus (bubble gum pink sparkley lip glass). If you think the sparkley lips and sparkely eyes are over kill try Stila Lip Glaze in Candy. Or if you are a MAC girl there are several bubble gum matte pink lip sticks and MAC Lustre Glasses (creamy gloss with no sparkle) to choose from.
Although Eeyore is known to be a little depressed from time to time, he is still a cutie, and you certainly won't feel depressed in the look. Not with all the compliments you'll get! So if you are a girly girl, and you love blue, violet, and pink here is a girly girl look with cool colors with some sparkle and shine.

IMATS HAUL 2010: Kryolan VS Mehron: The War Is Over
So...when I was at IMATS I also picked up a Mehron palette. I walked over to the booth to see what they had to offer. They had aqua eyeshadows sold individually, cream blushes sold individually camoflauge palettes, paint color wheels, eyelashes (I got two pairs), blush, lip, and eyeshadow palettes, as well as blush/eyeshadow combo palettes. That was what was available when I approached the booth. But I approached the Mehron booth at 2:00 on Sunday, so that explains a lot.
According to Mehron's Homepage: Because of our expertise in Theatrical Makeup, Mehron produces the quality Character Makeup Kits that provides you with all the essential makeup needed to become a character from a Cat to a Vampire for stage, parties or Halloween. Mehron Makeup is the most sought after Halloween Makeup in the world because it is the exact same Makeup used to create the Characters of stage and screen, it is durable, professional makeup. If you need Costume Makeup or Halloween Makeup, Mehron has the safe, quality, non-toxic makeup for you.
Mehron, Leaders in Theatrical Makeup since 1927, is also the Innovator of Extreme Beauty Makeup. We have applied the knowledge gained from making performance makeup to the production of Extreme Beauty Makeup We produce our beautiful makeup in a wide array of lush, vibrant, sexy, exciting colors for your lips, eyes and face. Work makeup, special occasion makeup and sexy makeup are all a part of our exciting Extreme Beauty Makeup.
Due to the intentions and uses of both Kryolan and Mehron, make up artists consider the companies rivals, or competitors. A lot of make up artists kits are home of both products, wether the make up artisist is a beauty/glam artist or a stage make up artist.
In my opinion, from what I own of Kryolan and Mehron (which isn't a lot) I enjoy both companies products. Kryolan's colors are pigmented and easy to apply as are Mehron's. Kryolan's and Mehron's water based sets both look like a childs Crayola paint set, and the powder sets have nice size pots wiht highly pigmented colors. Its hard to say what I like more because I didn't purchase products from the two companies that I feel are comparable. From Kryolan I bought the Interferenze palette, and from Mehron I bought the #207-TPAL or the Eyeshadow & Blushtone Combo palette.
When I saw that the colors in the Mehron palette looked nice, and I'd been wanted to try a palette of theirs I bought this one, so I could try more than one item of theirs. The consistency and pigmentation of all the shadows in the palette are matte and highly pigmented, and blend so well. I didn't get an Aquacolor palette from Mehron because I bought my Aquacolor palette from Kryolan earlier that same day, and I wasn't sure how I would like the Aquapalettes, or how long it would take me to get the hang of them.
I wish I had hit up the Mehron booth earlier because I really like the Aquacolors. I would like to see how Mehron's compare. Or that I had at least bought the indivual ones. Darn!!

IMATS 2010 Haul: Kryolan Meets Urban Decay Look IV - Dark Tinkerbell
So...I wanted to do a bit of a dark Tinkerbell look...Not neccessarily a fallen Tinkerbell...but if Tim Burton were to do a movie based on Disney's Tinkerbell, what would Tim Burton do...and a box of shadows from Urban Decay please and thanks more than words can say!
1. So prep and prime the face. Using Urban Decay's Eden Primer Potion apply all over the lid. Condition the lips.
2. Using Kryolan's Interferenze palette, and a flat shader or concealer brush spray the bristles down with MAC's Fix Plus. Using the Verdi/Gold color which is the 2nd to the last from the right hand side, pat the color all over the lid and a bit into the crease.

IMATS 2010 Haul: Kryolan Meets Urban Decay Look II - Rainbow Sorbet
To hear more about Kryolan read part I of this series...
So last time I talked about Kryolan, and said I would do a Kryolan and Urban Decay series...Kryolan and Urban Decay haven't collaborated, but I have for them! Yay!
The first time I blogged about my discovering how amazing they work together, I did a Mermaid In A Fishnet look, which was a lot of fun...I got amazing compliments on the unlikely pairings of color choices, and medium choces. So I decided to change it up a bit....still using the Kryolan Interferenze palette (its the only one I have) and the Urban Decay Deluxe palette. I created an entirely new look and using different colors in different places, and an entirely new concept and eye shape.
This look features dramatic eyes that contain several of the UD Deluxe palette's hues, and the Interferenze as well as a little Make Up Forever and MAC thrown into the mix. Below the dramatic eyes is a nude face with an airbrushed finish and a glossy Ultraglide lip, one of Urban Decay's newest items. The Ultraglides are so pigmented and durable, and taste faintly decadent with flavors ranging from Tangerine (Quiver), and Cinnamon Rolls (Deep), I will be using the Sugar Cookie (Lust) one today. There are four other shades, but I suppose I can feature a review on those later.
This look is not a typical played out rainbow eye, so don't worry...I call it Rainbow Sorbet because the colors aren't equal parts in application, and kind of just smoke into other colors, just like Rainbow Sorbet...Its got a refreshing seventies vibe to it...
You will be hungry at the end of the tutorial...
1. So as always prep and prime the face, apply shadow or lid primer to the lid, and lip conditioner.
2. Take a purple eyeliner pencil, I used MAC's Pearglide in Designer Purple, but any bright purple will do. Urban Decay makes a gorgeous bright purple 24/7 liner called Lust. Ransom 24/7 Liner from Urban Decay is a bit dark, but if you wish you can go with that, and apply lightly. Draw with a light hand a line above your actual crease following the shape of your real crease. Then for the outer corners, you want to draw the line in nice soft rounded shape, into the outer corner of the eye. Make sure the line rounds upward, rather than downward, or the result will be an unpleasing downturned eye shape.
3. Now take you MAC 219 Pencil Dome brush, and the Make Up Forever eyeshadow in #92 (famous purple) and soften the edges at the top of the pencil...you should see no harsh pencil lines.
4. Using the MAC 217 shader and blender brush, and take the MUFE #92, and blend it out and upward in the outer corner, and smooth it inward, following the crease.
5. Using a soft midtone pink (I used the Coastal Scents Palette) and smooth out the color a bit with the 217 so it blends out nicely...
6. Take the Kryolan Interferenze palette and spray Fix Plus on the brush and dip it into the Strauss Wine color which is a pink/violet color. Pat this color on the lid about 3/4 of the way in.
7. Using the Kryolan Interferenze palette and Fix Plus spray and a flat brush dip the brush into the yellow color, and pat on the inner lid, and into the tear duct, and a little on the lower lid in the inner tear duct area.
8. Using Urban Decay Deluxe palette and the Fishnet color, take the 239 brush and pat the color over the Strauss wine.
9. Using the UD Deluxe palette and the Honey color pat over all the yellow Kryolan base.
10. Blend the Honey and Fishnet eyeshadows together so that they are seamless.
11. Take the Urban decay 24/7 liner in Flipside or Electric or any other teal or turquoise liner and line the lower lid. Using the Urban Decay 24/7 pencil in Zero (black) tight line the upper waterline, and the lower waterline.
12. Using the MAC 219, and the UD Deluxe color in Peace (bright blue) smudge out the liner and set it with this color.
13. Take the UD Deluxe Palette and the 217 and lightly tap the brush into the Ransom eyeshadow (Dark Purple) into the crease area that seperates the lid from the Make Up Forever #92. Add more if you want, but start off with a little so the vibrancy isn't lost.
14. Apply MAC's Blacktrack fluid line, and pull out a bit on the end so it is athicker line at the outer eye, and tail off in a fine tail.
15. Set the inner part with Zero. Set the outer part and tail with UD's Graffiti and Zero.
16. Apply Foundation and setting powder.
17. Use a bright coral blush and apply lightly. Use a soft pink highlight color where you desire. I like to use it on my cheekbones, and down my nose. cOntour and bronze if you like.
18. Apply Make Up Forever's Aqua Lip in 18C Coral. Fill lips in after outlining.
19. Use Urban Decay's Ultraglide in Lust (baby pink with gold shimmer-sugar cookie flavor).

IMATS 2010 Haul: Kryolan Meets Urban Decay Look I - Mermaid In A Fishnet
So what happens when Kryolan meets Urban Decay? OMG...the best stuff ever!! A marriage that was meant to be!! I will be doing a bit of a series of Kryolan meets Urban Decay looks...The Kryolan Interferenze palette has such an amazing quality and complex colors, and work fantastically with the quirky colors from Urban Decay...
Kryolan is a stage make up company that sells at Sillyfarm.com, Naimies.com, and Kryolan.com. I personally don't recommend taking a risk on Ebay, unless you choose to purchase from Shrinkle (Amy) but thats just me. Every year Kryolan is sold in person at IMATS...
Kryolan Aquacolor paints are a glycerin based compact make up, that is color intensive, with the ingredients of a superior quality skin cream. Aquacolor is universally applicable, but primarily used as a make up for face painters and clowns.
Aquacolor cakes are applied with a damp sponge or with a paint brush. Aquacolor paints need no setting powder or fixative spray. Aquacolor is also made for beauty application which makes for an excellent alternative to oil based foundations.
Aquacolor is available in a broad assortment of colors, including metallics, Black Light Activated, Primary and interferenze. Face and Body painting artists have been especially successful in working with KRYOLAN Aquacolor.
At IMATS I picked up the Kryolan 6-color interferenze palette. According to kryolan or sillyfarm.com the interferenze palette is used best as a base coat for designs.
Interferenze is a Pearlized and Duo-chrome (two tone) colours. These colours put fantasy face & body painting in a class of its own.--According to Kryolan.
So may only regret-not getting the Black Light Acvtivated colors....Not that I want to go to a rave or test Kryolans glow in the dark, but there is an amazing yellow (I want to put Rock It Yellow Pigment from MAC on top) and green (I want to put Urban Decay eyeshadow in Graffiti on top) in that palette that I want...and that violet is soooo coool as welll....it would look fantastic under Make Up Forever's # 92.
So....on with the look...
1. Prep and prime the face, apply lid and primer and lip conditioner.
2. Start off with spraying your flat shader brush with either a dab of water or MAC's Fix Plus...I would start off with a little, and go from there, add as needed, and mix on the lid or on a seperate tray away from the actual paint pot to avoid making a mess of the product. Just dry off the lid when done so it doesn't mix into the other colors....the Kryolan palettes are water activated, and work like professional water color...Note the word "professional" before the words water color....Professional water color doesn't act or have the same consistency as a childs Crayola or Rose Art watercolor or any other kiddie paints available at drug stores or Toys R Us. The reason an artist's water color paintings have no comparison to cheaper watercolors is that the Crayola sets are meant to be stain proof, sloppy, watery good fun for kids, and purposefully lack the pigmentation of a professional brand, and have no ability to create artwork that would look like something Georgia O'Keoffe created. No matter how talented your child may be.
3. So after spraying your brush dab your flat shader brush into the Strauss Wine color, which is the 3rd color into the set from the left.
4. Pat the color over the lid. Now with a clean dry brush and the Urban Decay Deluxe Palette (the purple one with silver sequins) pick up the Urban Decay Deluxe eyeshadow in Fishnet (duochrome-pink-violet) and pat over the top of the Strauss Wine Kryolan base...make sure the it is completely covering the Kryolan Base to avoid a crease mishap.
5. Take the MAC 217 brush or a crease brush and more of the Urban Decay Deluxe Shadow in Fishnet, and starting from the outside and work your way inward through the entire crease, and pull into the crease...This shadow will adhere over any of the Kryolan that may have gone into the crease and could go into the crease of the lid...this will also make sure that there are no harsh lines where the Kryolan is as well...
6. Using Urban Decay's Deluxe eyeshadow in Peace (bright blue with pearl finish) and take the MAC 217 brush and in the outer corner of the eye, pull it into the outer crease.
7. Take the Urban Decay Deluxe eyeshadow in Graffiti (bright green) and apply it into the outer corner with the MAC 217, and upp into the crease. Go back over the Graffiti in the outer crease only with Peace eyeshadow.
8. Using the MAC 219 brush and Urban Decay's Deluxe eyeshadow in Honey (honey yellow) and apply into the tear duct, and pull the color inward, and blend it out softly. Not too far in just barely.
9. Using Urban Decay's Deluxe eyeshadow in Zero (black) and in the outer corner with the MAC 224 (blender) pull the color in a little bit for depth, in the crease and outer corner as well.
10. Using Urban Decay's 24/7 liner in Flipside (turquoise liner) line the lower lashline.
11. Using Urban Decay's eyeshadow in Peace apply over it to set it.
12. Using MAC's Black Track Fluidline apply a thin line to the upper lashline and pull the gel liner out for a thin tail on the outer corner. Don't exceed past the eyeshadow.
13. Set MAC's Black Track Fluidline with Urban Decay in Zero.
14. Using Urban Decay's Matte eyeshadow in ABC Gum (peachy nude color) apply to the brow bone.
15. Using MAC's eyeshadow in Gesso (matte white) set over the outer corner of the brow bone.
16. Apply Mascara.
17. Apply Foundation and setting powder.
18. Contour the face with MAC's Blunt or any other contour color.
19. Using Lorac's Baked Satin Blush in Exposed (true peachy pink) apply to the cheekbones.
20. Using Urban Decay's 24/7 lip crayon in Wicked (bright pink) line and fill in lips.
21. Using MAC's Amplified Cream lipstick in Saint Germain (bright and light cool pink) and apply over the liner.
22. Using Lorac's Multiplex 3-D lipgloss in Cliche (bright duochrome pink violet) and apply in the center of upper and lower lips...This color reminds me of sequins with its cool hard to pass up Barbie pink color with violet iridescence.
