My eyes have been lonely...

Havent worn much eye makeup lately, been giving my skin a break, but today I decided to finally play in my Athma quad from the Mickey Contractor collection. Hope you like :)


I'm wearing Jaan on the lid, Folie in the crease, and darkened it with a dark brown from my coastal scents palette. I lined my eyes with Ivy fluidline. On my lips is Viva Glam Gaga (I forgot how much I loved this lipstick) with NARS Turkish delight on top

Foundation too dark? Try this!

So I was obsessed with MAC Pro Longwear however I've been neglecting it because I bought it when it came out in September and I was still pretty dark. But then I googled how to lighten foundation and it turns out mixing it with lotion helps! Take a look:


You can see how dark PLW is in the bottle and mixed with my Aveeno lotion, it lightened up, but the true test was will it be okay on my face


I <3 it, its perfect for me now. It's too much work mixing but I'll save it for when I run out of my MUFE and EL foundations which are my top favorite.
Basically I mixed the foundation and lotion on one of my Sephora mirrors, stippled it on, then buffed it with my kabuki for even coverage.
On my cheeks I am wearing Posey blushcreme with a blush from my CS palette on top. My lips are NYX l/g in Strawberry.
xoxo off to school =(

Peachy Coral Lips

Hey loves. Just so you all know, I'm doing the no makeup thing this week. I've always had acne since 6th grade and although I don't break out as bad as before, I'm starting to get little bumps on my jawline and my cheeks. It's like acne under the skin so I'm giving my skin sometime to breathe.
Other then that, I notice I wear a lot of pinks and nudes on my lips & wanted to give coral a
try.



To create this, I used Virgin Isle CCB and topped it with NYX Strawberry Lipgloss on top

What do you think? I kind of like it but I don't know what I would wear on the eyes with this.
Speaking of eyes, my Athma quad came Monday and I have so many ideas!! I'll get back into my stash on Saturday
Till then xoxo
Kay
