My Makeup Collection as of 3-24-12

I love makeup, I purchased over a long period of time all these things myself. Any questions? just ask. 

Let's get started.

This is my spinny storage thing (lazy susan?) The side show holds on the spot brush cleaner, water in a can, gel liner, 2 Kat Von D pigments and a primer. In front are some makeup removing wipes.

On top are liners of all sorts, eyes and lips, liquid or retractable.

This side has some face powders small palettes, cream shadows, more gel liner, maybe a glitter.

Here is a setting spray, more cream shadows, and many small eye palettes.

This is the center part of my vanity. The Too Faced bag is holding dirty but useable eye brushes. It's usually a mess because I lay everything out here when I am getting ready. 

Here are most of my brushes and some everyday and random items.

This drawer holds most of what I need to finish my face in the morning. Everyday items, foundation, concealers of all types, primers, and a highlighter or two.

This is my "tool" drawer. It holds lash curlers, lash glue, lashes themselves, my Sigmax kabuki brushes and double sided brushes the can't be stood up.

Shadows that are not and cannot be depotted, loose shadows, pigments, cream shadows, bases, and back up items.

Small quads to the left, the three containers ont he right hold samples of face and lip products. The front is blushes and bronzers.

The basket holds open mascaras, out side of it is extra mascaras so I don't have a million open at all at the same time. The back is stuff that I don't know what to do with but also wont throw away and backups.

Smaller palettes, The Balm, Lorac (underneath), Tokidoki, Too Faced, and Sigma.

Lip Products.....

Palettes. Starting from the left. The past two years of Too Faced Christmas palettes. True Blood Tarte Palette, latest Urban Decay Book of Shadows, Inglot palette, Makeup Geek palette and this last year's Too Faced Christmas palette.

Here is everything overall!!

Dramatic Navy Look

 

Hey everyone!! I actually went out for a Sunday afternoon with this look. I know it's quite dramatic, but I got quite a few compliments!!

The first think I did was take care of my inner corner. I wanted to go light since I have dark circles and I tend to look much darker the more I use dark colors. I used a matte color close to my skin color from my Sigma Bare palette.

The next thing I used was one of the new L'Oreal Infallible eye shadow. It is a navy blue color with a royal blue glitter/shimmer. I shaped an almost winged type of look. and brought it almost all the way into the eye, leaving about a quarter of the light color.

After finishing my base, I put a little bit of Too Faced's glitter glue over the middle of the eye. I used a royal blue Bare Escentuals eyeshadow/pigment and patted it on the middle. This pop of blue really brought the look to whole other level.

I took it easy on the cheeks and lips. I used Too Faced's Chocolate Soliel Bronzer and Candlelight highlight. I used Tarte's Amazonian clay blush in exposed.

For my lips I used a Revlon lip butter in Peach Parfait.

Look for my Saturday Night! 3-3-12

Hey everyone! This is a picture from a look I chose this Saturday night. 

Using some neutral shadows I just wanted to contour my eyes and then really define them with a thick winged liner and false lashes.

 I used the MakeupGeek eyeshadow in Shimma Shimma all the way up to the brow. Then I used Cinderella from MakeupGeek in the crease and blended until it all edges were smooth. You can get these shadows at http://www.makeupgeek.com/store/

I used my gel liner from Buxom by Bare Escentuals. It's called lashliner and it's in Leatherette. You can get it at Sephora. Then on my lips I used Whoops!  prolongwear lipglass from Mac.

I used a really neutral blush for this strong look and lashes from Forever 21.
