It's my birthday!!!

No really it is!!! Another year older and wiser.

Anyhoo... I decided to go with a smokey sultry eye for my bday and keep everything else simple so my eyes would be the focus.

I used ELF cosmetics malificent palette. I went with the night time villain look and added a little bit of the champagne color from the day time villain to my brow bone.

For the face I used revlon color whipped foundation. Although I love the packaging, the makeup is not as full coverage as I would like. I'm trying different techniques to see if I get a different outcome but so far nope.

I used Mac mineralized skin finish in dark as a blush. I used MUFE eyebrow corrector in color 4 for my brows.

For lips I used an urban decay gloss. I can't quite seem to remember the name but if anyone wants to know I will find it for you.

Enjoy the pics!

ELF Cosmetics HD Blush

ELF Cosmetics has come out with a HD blush! This blush is suppose to be compatible to Makeup Forever HD blush. Since I don't have their cream blush I can't compare them. I can tell you that I LOVE these blushes!

The only con I have is for some reason I thought they would be bigger. Other than that I live them. I only purchased 5 of the 5 available. I did not purchase headliner because the swatches made me think the blush would be too light on my skin. I just might pick up an entire set for my kit though.

So the colors I purchased were Superstar, Diva, Encore, and Showstopper. For the remainder of this post any pictures will be posted in that order.

Superstar is a pinky peach color. On my NC50/NW45 skin I would say it leans more peach. When blended it gives a more orangey peach appearance but I love it!!

Diva is a purple pink color on me. Magenta like. I was afraid it would be too pink but when sheared out it's a wonderful magenta.

Encore is a doll baby pink. Lol. That really is the best way to describe it. It is pink and does not yield any other color on my skin.

Showstopper is a plummy purple. I thought it would look awful on me at first because of its deep purpleness but it's lovely.

All of these colors wear well. I did not have any problem with transference I will say that when sheared out all of the colors have a slight gold sheen to them. Not glitter or sparkle, just a sheen.

You do have to be careful when dispensing product as one full pump is more than enough for both cheeks. I applied the blush with my fingers.

On to pictures....
