Bold Lips or Bold Eyes ?

BOLD LIPS

 

For my bold lips I used OCC lip tar in "nylon" and MAC lipstick in "Candyyumyum"

For my face I used BellettoStudio Airbrush system

The blush is from a blush palette from HeidiD Cosmetics

My lashes are Ardell #106

Eyeliner is liquid eyeliner in Black from Prestige (CVS)

For my eyebrows  I used anastasiabeverlyhills powder and billiondollarbrows setting gel

 

BOLD EYES

I love Smokey, dark, dramatic, intense, Arabic Makeup !!

My contacts are from a random beauty supply store, they looked better in person! I don't remember the name of the color but you can find something similar anywhere.

On my face I used BellettoStudio Airbrush system but before I applied my Airbrush MU on I also applied some Yves Saint Laurent foundation because it has a nice glow and I thought it would look good together. They certainly did work hand in hand and compliment eachother :) I loved the end result!

On my lips I mixed MAC honeylove and myth. I finished with a goldesh/brown lipgloss that I don't remember getting and has no name on it, sorry :/

For my eyes I used MAC: carbon, brun and copper.

Lashes are Ardell but forgot the # and the mascara to top everything off is MACs Haute&Naughty.

Jennifer Lopez- Live it up *Inspired looks*

So JLO has definitely got many artists to replicate her makeup look on her new video "Live it up" with Pitbull. I was also inspired and wanted to replicate the look with a little twist of my own. I hope you all like it. Below I will post Jlo's look from the video, mine and then I will post pictures of some of my favorite Makeup Artists from Instagram that have also recreated her look. Thank you :)

The pictures below are all picture of my favorite Makeup Artists from Instagram who have recreated J.Lo's MU look. I do not own the pictures below and I do not claim that any of it is my work. I have left their usernames on so you can see the owners of the pictures and the work. Feel free to check them out on Instagram. They are all amazing. & If you like my work my IG username is rglxox.

EYELAVISH JEWELRY BY ANGELA DILO, BELLETTO STUDIO AIRBRUSH SYSTEM & HOLLYWOOD GLAM GLOW

EYELAVISH BY ANGELA DILO

Alright so from my title you can all see that I will be talking about three things I absolutely can't live without right now and will be purchasing more of EVERYTHING that I am mentioning.
Let me start off by telling you that I absolutely love EYELAVISH, A jewelry company created and started by my good friend Angela (Angie) Dilo. All pieces are hand made in Turkey. Eyelavish has Swarovski crystals, 14K Gold pieces, White Gold pieces, Silver and much more. The line ranges from Necklaces, bracelets, rings and earrings. The pieces are absolutely beautiful and impeccable to the way they reflect light and the way they shine and sparkle is just eye hurting in the most pleasurable way possible. I LOVE love love and I mean love my necklace so much. Eyelavish sent me a beautiful peace in gratitude to being a good and close supporter and good friend. Yes, some might say the pieces are a bit "costy" however you ARE GETTING YOUR MONEYS WORTH. I have never seen anything more beautiful in my life. They shine close to diamonds, it's honestly INSANE. I'm not saying this or writing a good review just because Angie is my friend and I received a necklace for free, I honestly mean it and I will be purchasing more things for family and friends because I believe there is no better gift to give to someone (if it's jewelry) then it should definitely be something worth every penny, something eye catching, something unique that no one has and something that actually looks expensive and always looks like the first time you got it. Below I have a picture of myself wearing my EYELAVISH Necklace. I will be posting more later.

BELLETTO STUDIO AIRBRUSH SYSTEM

Belletto Studio is an Airbrush system that is absolutely flawless. I have TEMPRU PRO at home and use that for myself and clients and I love it. I used to have Dinair but the system broke and I never purchased a new one because I just didn't want to spend the money since I already had the Temptu Airbrush system. Belletto Studio was kind enough to send me their Airbrush system and I fell in love instantly. Besides the fact that the system itself is very light weight and easy to carry around when going to clients or traveling, it is also very powerful and they have a various range of colors for different skin tones, highglight, blush and more. I adore Belletto Studio and will be purchasing a new system for myself. In all the ABOVE picture, I used Belletto Studio to apply my foundation =) it looked flawless. The pictures do the look no justice. Below is a picture of Alexandria Walker for whom I did makeup for. We started working at 4:00 AM for Alexandria because she was auditioning for X-factor. Yes, Ms. Walker is an absolutely talented young lady. Besides being a singer she is also a song writer and photographer.

HOLLYWOOD GLAM GLOW

So I was searching through Instagram one day and I came across GLAM GLOW. I saw before and after pictures so I decided to do some research and also check out the products myself. Now that I own two of each black and white boxes of GLAM GLOW I am in love and can't live without them. Every time after I use them, I get compliments and everyone tells me my skin looks amazing and different and it also FEELS AMAZING ! It's just refreshing and my blackheads and pores magically disappear. It doesn't say that it will make them disappear, it says that it minimizes their appearance but for some reason mine just disappear, I swear they do. Below is a picture of me using the Glam Glow face mask and a picture of the jar.







Enhancing The Eyes !

Sometimes all you need is some good eye enhancement. You don't always need to contour as it sometimes takes too long and when doing so you need to make sure it's perfected. With that said though, not all people like contouring and it isn't for everyone as many people think it looks "too fake" or just "too much" for them because certain individuals are not used to wearing that much makeup on a daily basis, if not at all. Below I have attached pictures of two clients that I had the pleasure of working on. Both of which focused on "eye enhancement" Yes, I do believe contouring makes the face look different and beautiful but I always loved good eyes. Sometimes I like the main focus to be on the eyes and that was always the first thing I looked at when looking at a beautiful woman, her eyes and her eyebrows. If you have a nice bold eye, I personally think it's sexy but of course everyone's opinion varies.

Coloure Draine Cosmetics & Billion Dollar Brows

Coloure Draine Cosmetics sent me this beautiful package with some amazing products inside. I absolutely love how amazing the lipstick feels on me. I love the fact that the lipstick doesn't get chalky and dry up my lips (as many lipsticks do that). One of the most amazing lipsticks I have ever used and continue to use are from Heidi D. Cosmetics, her lipstick moisturize your lips and to be honest Coloure Draine lipsticks have a similar texture and feel to it as well. I love all the colors that they sent me and I can't wait to buy a baby blue, red, green, fierce and fab and bajan princess. I saw these online and can not wait to get my hands on them. If you like a nice lipstick that is very pigmented and doesn't dry your lips up then I would certainly suggest you try out their line.

Visit Billion Dollar Brows at: http://www.billiondollarbrows.com/

Billion Dollar Brows sent me these products to try out and I will be 100% honest, I think I'm in love. The brush is PERFECT to perfect concealer around your brows and the brow gel does not let my eyebrow hair move as I have extremely thick, dark and long eyebrow hair. In the picture above I used the highlighter, pencil and brow gel. The link is right above the picture. Three of my clients already love Billion Dollar Brows and I used their products on two clients so far and both were very satisfied. One of my loyal clients of all time will be purchasing the products just because I told her they're good and she takes my word for it. My favorite thing is the tweezer. I know you can use any tweezer but I just love that his one has a better grip then my drug store tweezers. Thank you BDB for these amazing products and I can't wait to purchase more now that I am so in love with everything & thank you for sending these amazing products for me to try out.

"Risqué" by Heidi'D Cosmetics

 

The perfect orange lipstick. This bright orange lipstick is called "Risqué" and it's from Heidi D Cosmetics. I have posted things about it previously but I just can't get enough of this color. I love lipsticks. I don't have the best lips to wear lipstick but I work with them and use lip liner to enhance the fullness of my lips. Trick: If I don't own a lip liner that matches my lipsticks, I use liquid sealer and eye shadow with a pointy eyeliner brush and create my own and outline my lips with it.

This is the most beautiful color and matches perfectly with a simple winged liner. It's perfect for a hot summer day, with tan skin and some big lashes you're ready to make a statement ! My friend Heidi'D. created a highly wearable range of long lasting cosmetics. She has brushes, lipsticks, lip-glosses, eye shadow palettes, foundation and more. Please check out her website for more information and to purchase any items of your desire.
