Happy Friday! 😆 Now that my eye is back to normal, and not a puffy swollen mess, I wanted to finally play around with the beautiful ColourPop shadows I talked about a few days ago. These beauties are smooth, creamy and produce zero fallout. Some of them had to be packed on quite a bit, but they still blended nicely and remained vibrant on the lids.
FACE:
- Benefit The POREfessional Face Primer
- NARS Radiant Creamy Concealer in Custard
- Cover FX Total Cover Cream Foundation in G30
- Cargo_HD Foundation Powder in #20
- Urban Decay All Nighter Setting Spray
EYES:
- LORAC Behind The Scenes Eye Primer
- Megan Naik Eyeshadow Set (ColourPop Cosmetics)
- MAC Fix + (used to apply Amira to my lids)
- YSL Volume Effet Faux Cils Mascara
- Urban Decay 24/7 Velvet Liner in Plushie
- Ardell #308 Half Lashes
CHEEKS:
- Too Faced Chocolate Soleil Bronzer
- Tarte Amazonian Clay Blush in Elevated (from the Be MATTEnificent Palette)
- Bobbi Brown Shimmer Brick in Pink Quartz
LIPS:
- MAC Lipstick in Pure Zen
- Marc Jacobs Lust for Lacquer Lipgloss in Sweet Escape
To create this eye look I used the Megan Naik set from ColourPop. I placed Onai all over the lid, and used a damp brush to apply Amira on top. For my crease I used the shade Lectra, then placed a tiny bit of Farah in my outer corner. I lined my upper lash line with Plushie from Urban Decay, and applied one coat of YSL Volume Effet Faux Cils mascara. I then lined my lower lash line with Farah, and applied tiny half lashes from Ardell.
To conceal my under eyes I used NARS Radiant Creamy Concealer, then used a Real Techniques stippling brush to apply Cover FX cream foundation. This has a dewy finish, so I set it with my holy grail Cargo_HD powder and then applied my blush and bronzer. As far as my brows go, I ran out of my ELF brow gel and two different Target’s were sold out of it, so they basically have a mind of their own in these photos.
I must say not wearing makeup for over a week made me a tad bit rusty, but I hope you liked today’s look. Have a great weekend, and let me know what items you reached for today!

Lovely romantic look! Today I’ve been trying out some new primers I got – the Makeup Forever face primer in blue and the Ardency Inn Modster lip primer. I really like the lip primer, but I’m still figuring out the best way to use the face primer.
I love the translucent MUFE primer, it was my go-to for years. It’s quite expensive, but I definitely noticed a difference in how long my makeup lasted. POREfessional is okay, but I mostly use it so I can get threw it and add it to my empties. I haven’t tried Ardency Inn yet, but their stuff looks amazing!
Wow, Julie! You have got skills girl! 🙂 Lovely makeup look as always, and I love the burgundy on the outer corners.
Thank you! The burgundy is so pigmented too, it took no work to make it look good – I love shadows like that! 🙂
I’ll take your ‘rusty’ skills over my own! wow, great look, super pretty and romantic.
Aw, thank you! I hadn’t worn makeup in 8 days, and I felt like I wasn’t blending good and my lashes were crooked. But we’re always our own worst critic! 🙂
What Nidia said! You look gorgeous as always. Glad you’re feeling better 🙂 I’m in my same ol’ same ol’ variation on a theme, peachy rose blush, taupe eyeshadow, black mascara, matte red lips.
Thank you 🙂 Aside from switching it up for my FOTDs, I totally have my go-to same old look. So you’re not alone! lol
You are gorgeous! I really like those colors and I’m thinking that now, this being the second time you’ve talked about them and I’m still liking them, that i need to place an order. LOL!
I say do it!! Let me know what shades you get! 🙂
I had hoped you would use the Colour Pop quad in your next FOTD. 🙂 This is so gorgeous, I love it!
Than you! I want to do another look, focusing on the matte brown so maybe that will be next week! 😀
You. Are. SO freaking beautiful! You did an amazing job and glad you’re feeling better! 🙂
Thank you! It feels so great to play around with eye makeup again!
Absolutely gorgeous as always! So happy your eye healed. I love to see the looks you create with neutrals. The pop of gold really looks great with it. I need those Ardell half lashes
Half lashes are so easy to pop on, I highly suggest them! Though I do prefer the ones from MAC 🙂
Gorgeous.
Thank you!
Pretty look! I love the neutral shades combined with the pop of sparkle!

Gotta have that sparkle! 😉
Gorgeous as always! I’m glad your eye is all better. The Ardell half-lashes look better than the full 😀
I also prefer half lashes on me, because they are less harsh on my smaller eyes. I was so rusty though, it took like 3x to get them straight lol
I really really want to try me some Colourpop beauties! Love the look you did.
This set is great and only $20 – I highly suggest! 🙂
Once the start shipping internationally.. I’ll go crazy lol!
What a gorgeous look! I’ve heard so many great things about ColourPop!
For the price, the quality is superb!
I love your looks because of how soft the lip colours and blush are and this one is no exception! The eye makeup is beautiful! Glad your eye is better. I have to check out that Tarte blush.
Thank you! I’m such a play it safe girl with my lip color, I need to remind myself to reach for bold shades! lol
Gorgeous on you! I just got some Colour Pop shadows…now I’m super excited to open them up!
Can’t wait to hear your thoughts on them! 🙂
Well whaddya know, I DO need that burgundy shadow. It’s the perfect burgundy shade!
