For Halloween I went as Poison Ivy. I used a light green all over my lid, dark sparkly green on the outer and in the socket and also for contouring. I cut up pieces of artificial ivy and stuck them to my eyebrows with eyelash adhesive. Usual routine with foundation and blush etc.

I did have some fabulous eyelashes to put on but I became far too drunk to apply them in the end.

Halloween is the best day to have fun with makeup!

 

That looks amazing!!! hahaha. Applying falsies while drunk is a bad idea... good thing you didn't do it! It is the best day to mess around. Last year I made my boyfriend a zombie (face anyway) - lots of white powder and bloody gashes. This year we didn't do anything 🙁

Next year I want to be character from SNL! My brother says the small hands lady. 😀

I made my boyfriend up as Jack Sparrow. Guy liner and I drew on his tattoos with a sharpie. The next day he went to football (soccer) saying "I'm going to get Dick of the Day for this makeup". Turns out 80% of the team was wearing makeup anyway.

Yes, he was very drunk at this point.

My older sister has no curves, she's so waifish and beautiful that it's just annoying. 😛

We don't celebrate Halloween in Australia. How's that for a kick in the courage. I went for a run on Halloween and we still had some trick or treaters. Some kid dressed as a zombie tried to bite me as I went past. -_-

Haha your boyfriend looks awesome! Nice job!

Candice, I'm sure you could learn in a year haha! It's worth try anyway.

 

Awesome video! Great coverage for cystic acne.

You all might have seen it before but I just came across it last night.

Inspired me to do full coverage fanciness today :)

Sure thing!

 

I used my whole skincare routine (see signature).

1. Smashbox Photo Finish Primer & Urban Decay eyeshadow primer

2. Make Up For Ever HD foundation in light shade in the center

of my face, like the video says

3. Mary Kay medium coverage foundation in a darker

shade around the sides and cheeks - I did a couple layers

on areas where I had PIH

4. Amazing Cosmetics concealer on problem areas

5. Blush, then eye makeup, then lipstick

6. Pur Minerals 4-in-1 Powder

7. A little bronzer, Laura Geller's baked bronzer

8. M.U.D. Setting Powder- comparable to Make Up For Ever's HD powder

Hope this helps :)

I've watched that video where she does the full coverage foundation before. She does a good job.

No problem! :)

I use #110. Yeah she does do a good job. It's a nice video considering

so many people struggle with that type of acne and how to cover it.

Hey Bek... I know it's a makeup thread, but are you any good with the hair thing, too? I want to do one of those front french plait things, but I'm completely hopeless at it. :doubt:

Haha unfortunately since my hair condition degenerated I am terrible with it!!! 🙁 I am getting a keratin straightening treatment next week so I don't have to try (and fail) so hard to make it look good. Saweee girl!!

@guacohmy: Thank you! That is so sweet of you! Amazing Cosmetics' concealer is the only one I've found that I will buy and re-buy! It's creamy, opaque, and extremely long lasting when set with powder. My lipstick is Make Up For Ever #35 with Urban Decay gloss over it 😉

@corgisoulpower: L-M-A-O. That is horrible and funny.

I just got the Hourglass Illusion Tinted Moisturizer spf 15 today. My skin has been going crazy lately, I think from a combination of things; working in a heated enviroment, cold weather, playing with different skin care products, etc. It's unpleasantly chapped! My neck keeps getting this crazy rash too. But anyhow, the reviews look really good on the tinted moisturizer. I have the Hourglass primer with spf 15 too... still deciding what I think about it. I have to get my skin back to normal before I can make a proper judgement. The Mary Kay foundation I've been using is AMAZING, but not for winter. It controls oil production and is too drying for cold weather. Anyone get anything fun lately? Any new makeup looks? :)

Hourglass Illusion Tinted Moisturizer SPF 15

 

 

After shower, scrub, and serum:

 

 

 

 

After Hourglass primer:

 

 

 

 

After Hourglass tinted moisturizer (in Shell) and lipstick:

 

 

 

 

It's an interesting consistency. Tinted moisturizers are always a little tiny bit trickier to blend for me since they are sheer. It makes it more apparent if you've missed a spot. At least on my skin! It should be the opposite, I know, lol. Anyhow. It's very creamy and moisturizing. I definitely think it needs a minute or two to sit and absorb on the skin before judging the outcome. I really like it so far. In the picture it seems a tad too pale for me but in real life it's perfect. It gives that gleam that reminds me of ancient princesses in movies. Dorky.

:)

Your skin looks flawless! It still leaves a nice healthy glow...I've always wondered about the staying power of tinted moisturizers for those of us with oily skin, even when I was clear, it seems like whatever coverage it gives would be gone after an hour on my skin...
