Look of the Day: Accidental Bellatrix Edition

The struggle is real for my curls today. The humidity is killer and between that and the fact that my curl pattern is still wrestling for life after the braids…. Well, you can see the results. Luckily the big, curly hair is in? Sort of? ╮(─▽─)╭

 

It took me a few hours to get used to not having 12 lbs of hair on my head, but I kind of miss actually having long hair. Ah well, another week and I’ll have them back!

As for my makeup, I chose a more natural look with a bright pink lip. I actually used a face powder today to make sure I had the flawless skin look to support the bright lip color. I usually prefer a more dewy/fresh finish, but I do pull out the powder every now and then depending on the look I’m going for.

See? I can do bright Spring/Summer colors. (ﾉ◕ヮ◕)ﾉ*:･ﾟ✧

 

Products Used:

• Flower Skincognito Stick Foundation in SF1 (I use this as a concealer/highlighter)
• Flower About Face Foundation in LF4
• Milani Face Powder in Light Tan
• Holika Holika Aqua Petit Jelly Watery Cheek in #3 Watery Pink
• Etude House Color My Brows in #4 Natural Brown
• Maybelline Rocket Mascara
• Wet n’ Wild Megaslicks Balm Stain in A Stiff Pink
• Lord and Berry 20100 Shining Lipstick in Orange (Just on the center of my lips to add a bit of dimension)

Quite a few products for a simple look, right? At least I didn’t really contour. The Milani Face Powder was a bit too dark for me and somehow managed to be a bit too yellow. That is a first for me. I will keep it and see if I get any darker this Summer.

I say that, but I will probably just end up giving it to my little sister who enjoys the sun a whole heck of a lot more than I do.

This will probably be one of my statement looks for Summer since I tend to be more elaborate with my makeup in the Fall/Winter.

What kind of looks are you going for this season?

CL 2ne1 “Gotta be You” Inspired Makeup

I think I’ve forgotten how much fun it is to wear full makeup! I work in a church, so I mostly wear a more natural look. But tonight I decided I was going to have some fun ^_^.

If you haven’t seen the newest 2ne1 music video, “Gotta be You,” you should watch it now! It’s not one of their most upbeat songs, but I love it.

As usual, the styling is amazingly on point and the girls look absolutely gorgeous! I really liked Minzy and CL’s makeup especially.

 

Even though their makeup looks are really similar, I liked CL’s just that little bit more ;).

 

I wish I still had my blonde hair for this cover look, but my Senegalese twists look cool with this, I think.

 

So, this was definitely a lot of fun! I love a good winged eyeliner and it made me feel super fierce ;).

And speaking of eyeliner, CL and I have just a little bit of a difference in eye shape. If I tried to make it look exact, the eyeliner would be super~~~ thick because of my deep eye creases.

It’s always important to keep in mind your own face shape and features when trying a new/different look.

Here is a list of the products I used:

• Tony Moly Luminous Pure Aura CC Cream
• Estee Lauder Doublewear Foundation in “Sand 1w2”
• Holika Holika Aqua Petit Jelly Watery Cheek in #03
• Covergirl Smoothers Concealer in “Neutralizer”
• Maybelline Unstoppable Eyeliner
• Maybelline Rocket Volume Express Mascara
• Wet n’ Wild Megaslicks Balm Stain in “A Stiff Pink”

My lenses, I actually won in a giveaway from LoveShoppingholics and Go Hálainn! I was super excited to win and even more excited to see how awesome they look on my eyes. I will do a full review on the lenses in a couple of days.

Here is a closer picture so you can see the lenses better.

To say I love them is an understatement! I think I might wear them to Mass in the morning for the heck of it ^_^.

I leave you with these gems.

 

What can I say? I got bored and my sister kept laughing at me.

 

If you’ve seen the video, let me know what you think! 😀
