Inspired Look: NYC Lights

Here's a look inspired by my birthplace, New York City.

I wanted a look that captured the different shades of black, grey, gold, and hints of blue.

Such a wonderful place...

This is what happens when you watch too much Jersey Shore!  Don't judge me.

Holiday Makeup

I spent the past week taking photos of my daily "LOTD"- which I will be posting in the upcoming days (once I find the USB for my camera).

I had a lot of fun, and got a lot of goodies for Christmas that I can't wait to share!

For the time being, I thought I'd leave you with a little teaser: my Christmas makeup.

The following look was from the night before Christmas Eve.

My First Look of the Day (LOTD) Post

Oh my poor roommate Kelly...I took her face hostage so I could play with all my new goodies!

The products I used [below] are the products purchased and mentioned in my previous post

I wanted to create a warm sexy and sultry look.  I must say, I succeeded!  I probably freaked her out because I just couldn't stop staring!  She looks so great!

On her:

Eyes



Eye shadows: I got this really great Bare Minerals trio from Sephora a couple of months ago.  It was a free gift I redeemed with my member points rewards card.

Colors from left to right: Wearable Chestnut [Dark], Wearable Pecan [Medium], Wearable Pistachio [Light]

Dark brown, medium brown, and white for highlighting

Eyeliner: Using my new Smashbox liners, I used the Espresso (dark rich brown) as the liner, and the Gold (shimmering metallic gold) in the inner corners and bottom of the eye. 



Left to right: Sapphire (deep ocean blue), Gold (shimmering metallic gold), Espresso (dark rich brown), Emerald (deep green),  Black (jet black)

 Mascara: Fibrewig

Cheeks

Nars Highlighter/Bronzer duo.  I thought the pictures I used yesterday from the Sephora website, did it no justice.  They are just such splendid colors.

Lips

Nars Greek Holiday Lip Gloss

Something to remember is that it is really important to use the proper brushes when creating 'face art'.

I used the following brushes for this look:

 I later tried to create the look on myself- that's how much I loved it!





 

I also thought I'd share my outfit of the day, or just the shirt.  I got this really adorable shirt from Forever 21, that I like to call it "Ode to Chewy".   I paired that with my Chihuahua earrings and couldn't believe how crazed I looked! Like a crazy dog woman...I love it!!
