Hello Glamour Dolls! It has been some months since I posted, so much has been going on. I have done some traveling, still working full-time and I've been busy with my two side hustles. In the midst of everything, I have been keeping up with the beauty world, thanks to You Tube and Instagram. Recently, I did my first photo shoot last June and my second photo shoot I did a few weeks ago and it features...yours truly. Here is the makeup that I did on myself for the shoot.

One of the makeup trends for this winter season is metallic eyes and red lips. I voted in my poll on the top right side of my blog, that I was going to try both trends (metallic eyes and red lips). This look is starring the beautiful frost copper sparkle pigment. Since the pigment is very sparkly and has copper flecks in it, I kept the browbone and crease area very neutral and subdued. Here's the look.

A friend of mine told me about Nordstrom's annual Trend show that showcases the upcoming makeup trends for the winter season... which are metallic eyes and red lips. I hadn't heard of  the Trend show before, but; I was eager to attend. It was last Saturday, it featured a mini fashion show, upcoming products from numerous makeup, skin care and perfume lines, giveaways, lots of discounts and a goody bag.   The goody bag contained samples of perfume, discounts on products and even a mini Laura Mercier brush and translucent powder!  I love this bag! The cost was very inexpensive, only $15 and the $15 could be used towards any beauty purchase. Guests had the option to get their faces done by the makeup lines featured. My friends got their faces done at Mac, they looked amazing. I'm a huge Mac fan, but; I decided to get my face done at the Bobbi Brown counter. Mini Fashion Show, those hats were fierce! I didn't take a picture of my face, but it ca...

I went out a few days ago and a friend asked me to do a full face of makeup...I wasn't feeling the best but she talked me into it and I did it for her. The colors I used were a sheer pink e/s on my lid and brown in my crease...it didn't turn out the way I wanted, so; I kept blending and this is what I came up with... a neutral eye. I will do the original look over. I was in SO much pain in this pic, I still managed to smile :-) PRODUCTS USED Eyes -Elf e/s primer -no name sheer pink e/s on lid -no name brown e/s on crease -no name beige e/s as eye highlight -Elf plum liquid liner -L'oreal Voluminous mascara in black -Mac Engraved powerpoint eyeliner Face -Mac Prep + Prime face -Mac Select Cover up Concealer NC45 -Bobbi Brown corrector in Peach -Mac Studio Fix plus powder foundation C6 -Black Radiance warm berry baked blush Lips -NYX chestnut liner -Mac Viva Glam Gaga lipstick I More LOTD's to come!
