Pretty New Year to all of you!
SUBSCRIBE to my channel at for a new videos & to be entered in our monthly giveaways 💕👯Hey Babes! I went to my local CVS drugstore th. Offering more than 100 shades of professional quality cosmetics for All Ages, All Races, and All Genders. Enjoy free shipping and returns on all orders.
To start off the year (and 2015’s very 1st weekend) I chose to wear a bold lip and nude eyes. I met up with a few friends and went to the Foodhallen, a super duper food court located in Amsterdam West. Food, Friends & Fun 🙂
Mac Cosmetics Lip Liner
I posted this picture on my Instagram:
and as promised you can find the list of products below. Of course, most of the products are from MAC, unless specified.
● FACE: Fix+, @benefitcosmetics Porefessional (on my T-zone), mixed @covergirl Outlast Stay Fabolous 3 in 1 foundation in nr. 857 (Golden Tan) and @lorealparisfr @lorealparisusa True Match foundation in W6, NW30 + NC35 concealer, NYX Stay Matte But Not Flat powder foundation, Kiko Perfect Glow Compact Foundation in nr. 12, Give me sun! on the cheeks.
● EYES: Soft Brown (above the crease), Saddle (crease), Swiss Chocolate (outer V), @rimmellondonuk Lash Accelerator mascara on top and bottom lashes, @maybelline Go! Colossal Extreme mascara on the top lashes (2X). I used the same eyeshadow colors to define the lower lashes.
And, of course, the most important part of this look: I used MAC’s lip pencil in the color Vino and filled in the lips, then finished them up with Smoked Purple.
I defined my eyebrows with Anastasia Beverly Hills diprow pomade in Dark Brown. A lot of people ask me how I do my eyebrows, for those who know me I do not have many…anymore 😦 BUT I found a way to bring them back to life. I actually posted a pictorial about it, here is the link: https://nynamakeup.wordpress.com/2014/03/02/eyebrow-power-how-i-perfect-my-almost-non-existent-brows/
Here is my final look, with a tiny bit of editing due to the horrible lights:
Even if I L-O-V-E my eyeshadows and I absolutely adore wearing heavy eye make-up, this kind of make-up is so much easier to do and can easily be adapted to anybody. If you do not feel like wearing such a dark lip color, go for a red. If you are still scared of bright colors, you can opt for a nude/pink/mauve lipstick.
Simplicity is your best friend 🙂
