Here is one of the many FOTD looks I will be posting. Meant to post these a while ago but been so busy lately. Working on my concept for my photoshoot. Using one of my favourite colours PURPLE, I felt a bit ethereal with this makeup.

For this look I used:
FACE: Hard Candy Sheer Envy Primer with
 Garnier Under eye Anti- Dark Circle Roller and MAC Studio Fix Concealer in NW40.
MAC Studio Fix Liquid Foundation in NW43 with MUFE HD in 173, set with MAC Studio Fix Foundation plus Powder in NW43.
CHEEKS: Highlight with Hard Candy Tropics Bronzer with Physician's Formula Happy Booster Blush in Rose
EYES:ELF Eye primer then applied Bodyshop 06 e/s with Gosh effects powder in Butterfly. Used MAC Embark e/s in the outer V (not pictured). Lined upper and lower lash line with Annabelle Liquid Liner in Blackout then Applied two coats of Dior Blackout Mascara.
LIPS: Lined with Wet n Wild cream shadow pencil in 133 (techno) then applied Covergirl Lip Perfection lipstick in Embrace.


Hope you enjoyed the look. Stay beautiful.

Sanaa Lathan Inspired Makeup

Hi Beauties, I saw this look a while ago on Sanaa Lathan and I loved it. It's so simple yet so pretty. This could be worn both during the day and at night minus the false lashes. I decided to try my own version.

My eye look is a little different because of the shape of my eyes and my lip colour looks more pinky than hers.

For this look I used:
Face: MAC Studio fix liquid foundation NW43 and studio fix foundation plus powder NW43

Eyes: Primer- NYX High Definition Eye base
On the lid: NYX Pearl Pigment
Crease: The purple colour from MAC Odd couple, blend well with a blending brush. I used a darker purple shade in my outer  V from my coastalscents 88 shimmer palette.
Bottom lid: wet and wild jumbo cream shadow pencil ( can't remember the number)
Annabelle liquid eyeliner in black out on lash line followed by mascara (the usual)

Cheeks:
Covergirl Cheekers Blush in  Cinnamon toast

Lips: LA Colour lip pencil (pink colour) followed by MAC Up the amp and NYX Narcisuss.

Hi beauties,

Its 11:40 pm and I should be in bed but instead, I'm getting excited about my pink nails. Ladies if you are ever feeling low or down, just slap on some hot pink nail polish and your mood will change instantly. I am also looking forward to my recent purchases from elf cosmetics. They had a huge Valentine's Day sale- 50% off and I love their products- they are good quality for ridiculously affordable prices. I got like 5 of some products that were like $1 dollar each. I also did some sample shopping on coastalscents- love their mineral products. I got a sample of rice powder which is supposed to be good for oily skin so I will try it and see if it works for me. I am shopping around for a makeup train (the carrying case) my b\f threw away my old one when he was moving and I also need a makeup brush belt for when I am doing makeup on other people. www.eyeslipsface.com has a brush belt for 15 US that I think I am going to order and I could probably find the makeup train at walmart.com or amazon or ebay because my collection is getting a little too big. Confessions of  makeup junkie.lol

Products I am super excited about! Covergirl Queen Collection Lipsticks. Heard they received rave reviews and are superpigmented and you know how I like my bright coloured lipsticks but I'm also looking for some good nudes and low key pinks. So in this collection I am getting nude attitude,au naturale, girly pink and powder puff pink which is a bright pink colour- couldn't help myself. So ladies go out and look for these colours made for women of colour at your local drugstores or www.drugstore.com for $5.99- buy one get one 50% off or amazon.com.

I am also super excited about finding another perfect red lipstick. This time from black radiance which is another brand for women of colour. Perfect tone lipstick in 5016- Think its called El Dorado red on their website. www.blackradiancebeauty.com This red surprised me in so many ways. It looks very dark like  burgundy in the package but when you put it on it looks like a bright vivid red. A- MA-ZING! I actually stole this colour from my mom who is my inspiration when it comes to fierce red lips. No one can work a red lip like my mother. I will be getting a few more black radiance perfect tone lipsticks. Hi, my name is Shyne and I am a lipstick junkie.

The power of an eyeshadow primer is amazing. I took a pic of my eyeshadow after bout 10 hrs of wear and it was still popping. My purples come from my coastalscents smokey eye palette and my GOSH pigment. If you don't own urban decay eyeshadow primer potion, you shouldn't even be wearing eyeshadow. This stuff is addictive and worth all $18! www.ulta.com or sephora.com sell this top seller primer. I use sin cus I love the bronze/gold tone.

Every girl of colour needs to own a GOLD eyeshadow- simple as that!

Until then..."It is beauty that captures your attention, personality that captures your heart."
