GRWM | Urban Decay Electric Palette

Bridal makeup | Consultation

 

Monday I had the pleasure of working with this sweet bride to be! She was such a doll and seemed as though she waited on Mr. Right! She had such a great personality and brought her Mom along as well who was just as sweet.

She had some pics to show me that she had pinned to Pintrest. I have a lot of brides who seem to pin their inspiration looks there. The look she showed me on Pintrest had mainly gold on the lid. She also showed me different lip looks she wanted. She didn't want a bold lip but some pink. I will insert a pic of the first look we did with the gold.

After seeing the gold it wasn't quite what she thought it would be and I had showed her several different golds to choose from, including some from all of the Urban Decay Naked palettes. She wanted to add some mauve/pink to the gold. I showed her Buzz from the Naked 3 palette and she said that was it! We added it to the outer V, half of the lid and to deepen it some I added Bitten by Makeup Geek and she loved it! She also loved the lip choice. I used Cocomo lip liner by Milani and MAC's Please Me lipstick. It was the perfect pink nude pout! I like to pick lip colors for my brides I can purchase to add to their touch up kits if need be or a lip choice that isn't hard to duplicate or find if they ever wanted to continue to wear the lippie after their wedding.

Fall/winter Bride

 

I'm a little late posting this beautiful bride. At any rate , I had the pleasure of making over this beautiful bride in October of 2013. I really wanted to wait to get the final pics from my bride but decided to post anyway.

 

Products used:

Foundation: Mac prolong wear concealer in nc50 &nc45

Blush:Mac Raisin

Eyes: (all mac unless other wise stated)... Naked lunch, fig 1, embark and uninterrupted

Lips: jordana lip pencil in coco loco and Varneesh lip gloss by MAC(discontinued)

I set her face using MAC MSF in dark

I also did her hair as well and the hair for mostly everyone in the bridal party. Makeup for her bridal party was done by me and my assistant. My assistant and I had to get through a marathon that was happening that same day but made it happen and got the bride and party finished in time with out a delay on her big day! This was by far one of the best brides I'd ever worked with! All my brides are usually easy to work with but she was definitely a pleasure!

Hard Candy CC creme with SPF demo and a review!

 

Today I'm doing a quick review on Hard Candy's CC creme with Spf15. I picked this product up a few months ago and had never used it. About 2 weeks ago I gave it a try for a few days and decided to do a review. Following will be pictures of the process I used to apply the product and what it looked like after a few hours of wear. At the end of the pics I will give my opinion as honestly as I can.

So here I am with nothing on my face besides lip balm on my lips.

I applied the product using a real techniques powder brush.

As you can see I've already done my brows and the product appears to be very dewy or moist.

 

Taking another small Real Techniques brush I begin to blend and spread the concealer out.

Using my beauty blender I begin to do more blending for an airbrush and seamless finish.

 

Once my concealer is well blended to my liking I take a large powder brush by real techniques and apply MAC's mineralize skin finish in deep dark to take a way some of the shine.

 

Here are the final results! I forgot to mention my color selection was dark. As far as a good color match I'd say pretty close.

So here I am about 5 hours later. I used Urban Decays De-slick spray to set with. I love the spray because with my normal routine it holds my makeup for atleast 8 hours! Well not so with this CC creme. As you can see through my blurred pic ...lol...there is some shine poking through around my nose area and my forehead. Ok my T zone is shiny! Lol.

I found it to slip and slide a bit through out the day and if I touched my face it left fingerprints. So I had to wash and sanitize my hands constantly. I've been on the hunt for a great BB creme or CC creme and basically still no luck!

Since these pics I have yet to use the product again. Now I will be honest and say maybe I used too much . But I believe even with a small amount it may still be a tad bit oily for me. I have combination oily skin and believe this may work for someone with dry or dry combination skin. If you give it a try definitely start with a small amount. I personally like a medium coverage with my foundations and sometimes full coverage. Is this product buildable? I personally wouldn't try to because of the oiliness. Would I repurchase? Maybe once I've mastered the oil control. Would I recommend this product? Like I said earlier I believe this would work for someone with dry skin.

 

I may give this another go. Once I do and if I like it I will be sure to share with you all!

 

Have you tried this product? If so I'd love to hear your feed back and how it worked for you!
