🍉Summer 2020 meets the 60s

I’ve noticed Hailey Bieber has a lot of pink and mauve makeup looks. Kind of like Lily Collins with red lips or Megan Fox with black eyeliner. I’m a sucker for soft, sparkling pinks. This look also makes eyes look larger. 🌸 STEPS / TIPS 🌸 As usual, I’m skipping the Base step since that’s different for everyone! Apply bright pink only to the apples of your cheeks + nose. I’m used to applying blush underneath my eyes. I think it makes looks monochromatic, and helps cover under eye circles. Don’t do that for this look! Her blush really pops on her nose and cheeks- and looks almost doll-like. I use the e.l.f. - Beautifully Bare Blush . $3.99, has lasted me 2 years, and lasts all day. Use white eyeliner in lower waterline/lash This will make your eyes look big and doe-like. I used the NYX - Jumbo Eye Pencilin Milk. I don’t like using it as an eye primer. I also think it fades a little on the lash line- But it is very opaque, and comes with a lot of product ($4.50 for 0.18 oz). Use a sheer amount of warm pink base on the eyes. I applied primer, set it with clear powder, and then buffed a liiiitle bit of Soft Core from the COLOURPOP - Ooh La La! palette on the lid and lower lash. This will help your shimmer pop. Apply shimmer- And emphasize the inner eye. Apply a single pink shimmer shadow all over the lid, outer crease, and inner corner. I used the NYX - Love You So Mochi Eyeshadow Palette pale pink as the base. Then, I amped up the sparkles with the shade Tickled from the Colourpop palette. I really like the Mochi palette, and I hope Nyx brings back that formula. It’s like a cushion- when you touch it, it’s like you get a thin film of opaque, sparkly eyeshadow. I would buy it again if I lost it. The only con is it get’s dry/crumbly, but it’s still usable. Minimal to no product on the eyebrows! Just brush them up to look model-y! You could do soap brows to keep them in place. Add pink gloss. I combined the lip crayon LAQA & CO. - Cheeky Lip in Humble Bragwith ANASTASIA Beverly Hills - ANASTASIA Beverly Hills Lip Gloss, a more brown/pink gloss. Then, I used a Smith’s eucalyptus balm as clear gloss. For mascara, go for more volume than length! This is up to personal preference. But her lashes are so thick here, it basically replaced eyeliner. I used the essence - Lash Princess False Lash Effect Mascara It’s gorgeous and thick- a little clumpy, but I solve that problem by pressing clumps between my fingers. ⭐️ What are your favorite celebrity makeup looks? Rihanna and Emily Ratajkowski probably have my favorite looks.

I think solid eyeshadow is more popular right now for one reason: you can make palettes with it. And palettes double as both artwork and as makeup. So liquid eyeshadows are a little neglected. But they both have their pros and cons. 🥥 Solid (Powder) Eyeshadow 🥥 ☀️ P R O S My Colourpop Oh La La palette has good quality solid shadows. The mattes and shimmers are pigmented, and they’re not patchy when blending. Plus, the packaging is compact. So you can take every color you could need for touch ups in one compartment. 🌧 C O NS It takes time to apply solid eyeshadow. You have to blend it with a brush, because using your fingers seems to make it stick to your eye more than mix together. You also need to apply primer before solid shadow to prevent fallout. 🍹 Liquid Eyeshadow 🍹 ☀️ P R O S I have a few liquid shadows. A golden urban Decay honey one, Stila’s “Dollish”, and Stila’s classic “Kitten" (comparable to tickled in the Colourpop palette) The first pro of liquid shadow is that for some, you won't need primer. Some formulas dry down quickly, and seem to have primer built in so they won't crease. You also don't need glitter glue- The stickiness that dries down seals in the glitter on it's own. Finally, it’s easy to blend liquid eyeshadow with your fingers. 🌧 C O N S You may have to work TOO quickly with liquid shadow. That makes it harder to blend if you get distracted while doing your look. It also takes more space if you only have liquid shadows to take with you in your bag. ⭐️ The Final Verdict ⭐️ I prefer liquid eyeshadow because I think it's easier to work with. It can also look more glossy than solid eyeshadow. But that doesn't mean I'm going to leave solid eyeshadow alone. When I want to do a complex eye look, I think palettes will meet that need.

This is my very first palette from Lunar Beauty. If I'm being totally honest, I didn't need this palette — I can create similar looks from shadows already in my collection. But I really loved the packaging and the color story, and I had a Rouge Reward, so I went ahead and picked it up. I am really loving this palette! The thing I appreciate the most is that the color story encouraged me to try new things. Sure, I have plenty of purples and neutrals in my collection, and the greens and teals are similar to some I already have. But seeing these colors laid out this way encouraged me to play more with different color combinations And the packaging just always made me happy to pull this out and play. Is it something I would immediately run out and repurchase if I lost it? No, and that’s why I gave it 4 stars. But if you are drawn to the color story and packaging, I don’t think you’ll be disappointed. All of the shades are decently pigmented, build easily, and blend well. It’s a fun palette that’s nice to have in my collection.
