My first "Look" post!







Purple is one of my favorite colors to use with eyeshadow, and this is one of my new favorite finds! It's the new "infallible color" from L'oreal Paris, and I'm in love with their shadows! It's a creme-powder eyeshadow, and they give the best shimmer and are great for blending!


For this look I used:
Lancome "Aquatique" primer in "Nude"
L'oreal Paris Infallible Color Eyeshadow in Purple Obsession & Flashback Silver (not really silver, it looks more of a purple tint.
MAC Fluidline Eyeliner in Black
MAC "False Lashes" in "Extreme Black" & L'oreal Paris Telescopic Explosion Mascara in "Black" (for the lashes in the corners of my eyes)
Anastasia "Brow Powder Duo" in "Brunette/Dark Brown" (I used the Dark Brown half)
L'oreal Bare Naturale "Soft Focus Mineral Finish" in Translucent for my finishing powder


I actually didn't start out to use so much L'oreal! But you don't always have to use professional, expensive makeup to achieve a polished look.


TIP: Clean your makeup brushes at least once a week! If you don't want to go out and buy a brush cleaner, you can either use 90% Alcohol available at drugstores (90% really gets rid of any extra product/pigment left in your brushes, but if you're using you're brushes on someone else, and you may not want to cross contaminate, use 70% instead, that percentage disinfects more believe it or not!) or get some baby shampoo, use very little and very gently wash your brushes with it in the sink. Leave them out on a towel or paper towel overnight to dry, and once dry just fluff them a bit to get them back to their natural state.
