Honest Beauty Falling For You Makeup Palette - lip colors

Honest Beauty Falling For You palette - cream blush

This was my very first foray into the Honest Beauty brand by Jessica Alba.  I was given the opportunity to try out the Honest Beauty Falling For You palette, a palette of rich, vibrant hues created by celebrity makeup artist, Daniel Martin.

The compact features five eyeshadows, one cream blush and two lip colors that are color-coordinated and are complementary hues.  

Check out my swatches and makeup look after the jump!

MAC Venomous Villains Look and Tutorial: Vainglorious, De-Vil and Bite Of An Apple

Here is an eye look featuring some of the products from the MAC Venomous Villains collection, like Vainglorious and De-Vil:


De-Vil


Vainglorious

I also used Lithe pigment from the Fabulous Felines collection:


Lithe pigment on the left


I used my Pro Longwear lip creme in Sweet Ever After (middle).


Bite Of An Apple


I also used the very popular Bite of An Apple blush.


Since Bite Of An Apple is very pigmented, I used my MAC 136 brush, a paddle-shaped brush that picks up the slightest whisper of color which is perfect for pigmented blushes.



I mentioned in my Charm Pro 21-Piece Makeup Brush Set Review that I am going to be using the Charm brushes in my tutorials. Get ready to see these pretties in action.

Here's a step-by-step. All eye products MAC unless otherwise stated.


Apply Urban Decay primer potion in Sin all over lid, browbone and lower lashline. Using a stiff shader brush like the Charm Pro eye shader brush (MAC 239 dupe) apply Lithe pigment on lid foiled using Fix+.


 
Using Charm Pro tapered blending brush (MAC 222 dupe) blender brush, apply De-Vil on outer V and crease.

Sunset Eye Look and Tutorial Using MAC Melon Pigment

Here is what I call "sunset eyes" with some brown to create depth. I love the peaches, corals and brown combination. It is neutral enough if you don't like garish colors, but it is a notch above boring, same-old-same-old neutral shades.  I used MAC Melon pigment which I have not worn in a long time.  I love how it complements my skintone and how great it looks with golds, bronzes, coppers and browns.  I also used the MAC Inter-View mineralize eyeshadow trio (I used the dark brown shade for the crease).  I didn't use the L'Oreal eyeshadow for this look, so please don't mind it. lol




I also used my beautiful MAC Coral Crepe paint pot.  This is one of my favorite paint pots ever.  I use this for a wide variety of looks, and it looks great with all of my neutral, gold, bronze and even summery eye looks.



I used the MAC Colour 4 Quad from early this year's Spring Colour Forecast (Beige/Amber cluster) collection.  The colors are perfect for a nice sunset look.



To give that reddish coral pop of color, I used MAC Hot, Hot, Hot and Perky, of course from the Spring Colour Forecast (Coral Cluster) collection. I love these colors because they give a different, saucy flavor to neutral looks.

Here's a step by step. All products MAC unless otherwise noted.


Apply Urban Decay primer potion on lid and lower lashline. Using a fluffy shader brush, apply Coral Crepe on lid.


Using a stiff shader brush like the 239, apply Melon pigment dry on lid in patting motions.


Using Sonia Kashuk shader brush (or the 217, but I prefer SK), apply Perky eye shadow on crease.

Golds and Coppers Using Aromaleigh and MAC Eye Shadows

Note: Top right is Aromaleigh Elemental Lustre in Pyro

First of all, Happy Mother's day to all moms and all people who show motherly love to others! ;-)

Here's a gold and copper eye look using Aromaleigh Elemental Lustre mineral eyeshadows. I like these eyeshadows when using gold/copper/bronze looks because these are hella vibrant and they really look like molten metal on the lids. I also prefer to use these loose shadows dry, because they become way too metallic and frosty when foiled. I use them with a tacky eyeshadow base underneath - I prefer to use MAC paint pots.



I also used MAC's Cut To Fit eyeshadow from the Pret-a-Papier collection. It's a frosted red bronze that I'd thought would go well with the warm coppers of Aromaleigh Elemental Lustres.

Here is a step by step. All eye products Aromaleigh unless otherwise stated.


Apply Urban Decay primer potion in Sin all over lid and browbone and lower lashline. Apply MAC paint pot in Indianwood on lid using a fluffy shader brush.


Using a firm shader brush like the MAC 239, apply Ego on lid dry using patting motions.


Using Sonia Kashuk blender brush, apply MAC Cut To Fit on outer V.

Golds and Coppers Using Aromaleigh Mineral Eyeshadows

Happy belated Thanksgiving! How was your holiday? Mine was pretty great. We had two different kinds of turkey - the smoked and the deep-fried, and both were fabulous. Here's a photo of the deep-fried one my husband made:


(sorry for the askewness of the placemats! We had to put the platter down fast as it was heavy and hot!)


He injected it with his concoction of pineapple juice, garlic, and what-not, then dry-rubbed the bird with spices. It was so good!

Anyways, on to the Eye Of The Day!



I've always been a fan of Aromaleigh mineral shadows, mainly because of the great pigmentation and amazing texture. They really are stand-outs in the world of mineral makeup as they are very pigmented and the texture is beautiful, finish is also great. I try to own at least a sample of each mineral shadow from Aromaleigh, because I can create endless looks using the collection, and a little goes a long way.

Some of the colors I like from Aromaleigh are its vibrant golds, coppers, and bronzes. Here's a holiday-inspired look using some of my favorite Aromaleigh shadows.

Here is a step-by-step. All products Aromaleigh unless otherwise specified.


Apply Urban Decay primer potion all over lid and lower lashline. Using a fluffy shader brush, apply MAC paint pot in Cash Flow on lid.


Using a stiff shader brush (MAC 239 or Loew Cornell 3/8" maxine's mop), apply Gleam dry on inner lid.


Using the same brush, apply Satin Laces dry in patting motions on mid to outer lid.


Using the same brush, apply Crucible dry on outer V.


Blend the edges softly using the Japonesque angled crease brush (#231).

Golds, Copper and Brown Using Aromaleigh and MAC Pigment

Here's a gold-copper-bronze look using Aromaleigh mineral shadows and MAC pigments. I used Gothic Lolita eyeshadow in Satin Laces, which is one of my favorite Aromaleigh eyeshadow collections. I also used Pyro from the Elemental Lustre collection to give a bright copper tone to the look. I used MAC pigment in Chocolate Brown to give the brown-bronze depth I need to finish off the look.

All products Aromaleigh unless otherwise stated.


Apply MAC Bare Canvas paint all over lid and lower lashline. Using a fluffy shader brush, apply MAC Rubenesque paint pot on lid.


Using Loew Cornell Maxine's Mop 3/8" shader brush (or the MAC 239), apply Satin Laces on the lid slightly damp using MAC Charged Water.


Using the same brush, apply Pyro damp on the crease going down to the outer V.


Using the same brush, apply MAC Chocolate Brown pigment on the crease and outer lid.


Blend with the MAC 224 brush.


Apply some more Pyro using the shader brush if necessary.




Add a little Chocolate Brown and blend with the 224.


Using the Stila Brush No 5, apply MAC Sunday Best eyeshadow on the browbone to highlight, and using Coastal Scents mini detail brush on the inner corners.


Blend the colors together using the 224 brush.


Apply MAC Blacktrack fluidline on upper lashline. Apply Urban Decay 24/7 pencil liner in Zero to tightline and on waterline. Apply Satin Laces on inner lower lashline andPyro on outer lower lashline. Apply Red Cherry falsies #15. Apply mascara.
