Pinterest Makeup Attempt

Hello Cheekies

Sorry its been so long since we've blogged, but guess what? here is a new post!!! So last night I had a case of pinsomina which is when a person can not sleep so they go on to pinterest and pin the night away. Does anyone else suffer from that or is it just me? Anyways it was about four A.M and I was just scrolling away through the beauty tab on Pinterest and I spotted this make up that I thought would be perfect for summer. So I decided to give it a try. 

I love the subtle eye and the bold, bright pink, barbie lips. I feel like it makes her face really soft and feminine. So I went through my makeup this morning and I was glad to see I had pretty much everything. Whew-Hoo!  So here we go! 

My Items I used. 

 First I started off cleansing my face with Clearasil Rapid Action Pads, it reduces any bumps and redness in just four hours. Then once that dried I applied my Revlon Photoready Airbrush Mousse Makeup, which I love, it leaves a natural glow to the skin!

 I then applied Markwins Blush from the 2009 collection(left product in photo below), I wish I knew the names but sadly I don't. Anyways I used the lighter color then used the dark shade on top to give me a nice subtle rose pink cheek. They aren't very strong blushes which is great because my face is on the paler side so I usually don't wear blush because I end up looking like i was punched in the face. I love this blush though. Next I highlighted with the the Revlon mineral powder(right product in photo). I don't actually think it is a highlighter but it sure works as one. Yay! After I did my cheeks, I moved to my eyes. I started with the Loreal Earthscape Infinite eyewear (middle product in photo). I took the lightest color  in the top left corner and placed it on the inner corners of my eyes and lined the half of my bottom lash line of the inner corner. I then mixed the top right color with the bottom left color and applied that to the top lid. It gave me a nice warm golden color. I took the bottom left color and lined the rest of my bottom lashes. I then took the top left color and highlighted my brow bones. 

 After applying the powders I proceeded with the eye liner and the mascara. I did a thin line of Almay Liquid liner right on my tip lash line. It makes the lash base look a bit thicker. I then used my new Avon Super Shock Mascara. I am in love with this mascara. The brush seems to grasp every eye lash and not make it clumpy. 

sorry for the blurry photo, my camera would not focus. 

Look I can apply mascara without opening my mouth. It can be done!!! 

So after that which was the subtle part of this makeup, I moved on to Lips. My favorite thing to accentuate is my lips. They aren't as plump as Ms. Angelina Jolie but mine are on the fuller side. 

I used this Wet&Wild 511B which is Nouveau Pink. I bought this at walmart for $1 which was a really great investment! I applied this to my lips. Now in person its as bright as it looks but in the pictures below the bathroom lighting muted the lip color a bit. 

Its kinda hard to see the color on the upper eye lid, I need better lighting, I know. But here it is the over all. You can see the lighter lined corners of my eyes and the dark lined part. My subtle blush and you can see the places of the highlighter. I really like how this turned out. It looks pretty close to the photo off Pinterest I think. I have so much fun doing my makeup. I encourage you lovely people to do your makeup in funky, classy, edgy, subtle, strong, or even bizarre ways, just have fun with it. Play with makeup even if you don't think you are good at it! Practice makes perfect right? 

Xoxo- Sam
