Plum Autumn Look

Hola a todos!

Por fin, despues de haber perdido las fotos del primer intento del look, y tener que repetirlo dos veces mas, he consegido terminar el look que os llevo prometiendo por lo que parecen ya siglos!

Es un look con mucha inspiración en el Otoño, que para mi es todo un alivio que haya llegado porque odio el verano demasiado y ya estaba siendo demasiado largo.

He usado un tono marrón y un tono ciruela, y la combinación creo que ha quedado muy bonita.

Hi there!

After loosing the pictures of the first try for this look, and repeat it for two times, finally I got what I really wanted! After what it seems to be centuries now... XD.

It´s a look with a lot of Autumn inspiration, that thankfully is coming to my country and the horrible summer is going away (and I hope it never comes back again).

I just used two colors, a brown and a plum. But I think, the combo looks amazing.

Let´s get into it!



Empecemos!

Como siempre, primero base (a vuestra elección) y corrector, porque mis ojeras están que lo dan todo. Fijé con el polvo All About Matt! de Essence y la Powder Brush de Real Techniques.

As always, first foundation (whatever you want to use) and some concealer, because my undereye circles are masive!. I set everything in place with All about Matt! Powder by Essence using the Powder Brush by Real Techniques.

Esta vez apliqué encima del corrector HD de Nyx un poco de los Banana Powder de Ben Nye, porque se me queda el corrector demasiado rosado y como que no me gusta el efecto. Pero con los Banana se neutraliza el color y queda perfecto, usé la brocha 224 de MAC para aplicarlos.

This time, on top of my concealer I put some Banana powder from Ben Nye to set it and change a little bit the color, because it was looking so pink under my eyes and I didn´t like it.  To apply it I used the 224 brush by MAC.

Después, por manía mía, tengo que hacerme las cejas, me es mucho mas fácil maquillar el ojo si tengo la ceja ya hecha.

This is a pat peeve of mine, but before doing my eyes, I have to do my eyebrows. It helps me to get better references while I do my eyeshadow.

La sombra es la Charcoal Brown, aplicada con la brocha 212 de MAC y fijado con el Brow Set en Red Chesnut.

The eyeshadow is Charcoal Brown, applied with the 212 brush and set in place with the Brow Set in Red Chesnut, all by MAC.

Empezamos el ojo. De base apliqué el Paint Pot de MAC en Bare Study por todo el párpado (en cualquier de los post anteriores podéis verlo, que se me olvido hacerle una foto!) y estas son las sombras.

For the eyes, I started applying Bare Study Paint Pot all over the eye (if you want to see it, on previous posts I have pictures of it, today I forgot to take one of it!) And this are the eyeshadows.

En todo el párpado usé el color Factory de la Naked 3 con la brocha Pro-37 de Burlesque. Después, con la brocha Pro-17 y poco a poco, fui marcando la cuenca con el colorete de Inglot #63 y difuminando a la vez. Despues con la sombra Brulé y la brocha C330 de Crown difuminé los bordes, y con la ultima sombra que veis, Shroom, iluminé el arco de la ceja y el lagrimal. Con el Eye Paint de NARS delineé la línea interior de pestañas y la superior (difuminando después con la brocha 219 de MAC). 

All over the lid I put some Factory (from the Naked 3 Palette) with the Burlesque brush Pro-37. After, using the Pro-17 brush by Burlesque and very slowly I started putting the blush #63 from Inglot all over my crease. With the eyeshadow Brulé and the C330 brush by Crown I blended the blush perfectly with the skin to avoid any harsh lines. to highlight my tear duct and the arch of my brow I used Shroom and again the Pro-37 brush (but clean). With the Eye Paint by NARS I lined my waterline and the upper lashes (and after I blend it with the brown on the lid using the 219 brush by MAC).

Para terminar, como siempre máscara de pestañas (Extended Play Gigablack Lash de MAC), un toque de iluminador en los pómulos con la sombra Shroom y la Setting Brush de Real Techniques y finalizando con el colorete de los Simpsons en el tono Pink Sprinkles aplicado con la Contour Brush de Real Techniques.

To finish the look, add some mascara (Extended Play Gigablack Lash by MAC), as a cheek highlighter againg the eyeshadow Shroom using the Setting Brush by Real Techniques and as a blush, Pink Sprinkles from The Simpsons collection using the Contour Brush by Real Techniques.

Para los labios, primero apliqué un primer (usad el que mas os guste) y después delineé con el lápiz Currant y apliqué el labial Sin, ambos de MAC. Y luego pulí los bordes del labio con la brocha Pro-14 de Burlesque.

For the lips I used a primer, then I lined with Currant Lip Pencil and applied on top Sin lipstick. And to make the edges of my lips perfect, I used the Pro-14 brush by Burlesque.

Y este es el look terminado! Espero que os guste.

This is the finished look, I hope you like it!

Sin flitros para que podais ver bien los colores. Nos leemos pronto!

No filters so you can see the colors as they really look. See you soon!

Dark lips are coming...

Hi everyone!

For this Fall season, one of the biggest tendencies (and my favourite) that is coming: the bold lips on dark colors like burgundy, plum, dark plumy purples, etc...
And the funny thing is that even though we are not yet in the season, the people have started to wear this kind of lips. They say that this colors are hard to wear and not everybody likes it, but for me are the best ones, and I know that a lot of people always have wonder at least once how it will look on itself this kind of colors.

I have observed one thing that I think is a very important thing to keep in mind. When you wear this kind of colors, always try to use a lip pencil. Not only because it will help you to define your lips much better, do it because you will prevent any possible bleeding from the dark lipstick.

It doesn´t matter if you are wearing the most beautiful plum color, the only thing that people will see if you don´t use a lip pencil will be the lipstick bleeding in your lips and it will seem that you just had a hard makeout and you didn´t fix your lips after that.

(I found this image in tumblr and you can see the bleeding thanks to the black lipstick that the person is wearing)

Sometimes people don´t use the lip liners because they said is not easy to line the lips. Practice makes the master, people. What you can do is buy a cheaper red lip liner and try to do it in your home until you do it like a pro. It takes time, but in the end you will line your lips in a second, and when this kind of trends comes, you will be avalaible to wear dark lipsticks perfectly.

My favourite lip liner ever are the MAC Prolongwear because this are the only ones that stays all day long on my lips, after trying a big lot of different brands. On the drugstore side I will say that Rimmel London, Essence and Peggy Sage are my favourite brands.

So this fall don´t forget your dark lipstick and lip liner!
See you on the next post,
Lor.
