MOTD Product Details

Hai! 
I wanted to briefly show you yesterday's makeup of the day! It was very quick and simple to do. The products I used for this look are:
Lips:
1. MAC currant lip liner
2. Riri hearts MAC lipstick in nude
3. Cyan lip mix by MAC- this was used to make the lip color look a little more blue grey using a lip brush.

Eyes:
1. Inglot's gel liner in #77
2. Kat Von D's tattoo liquid liner-I placed this liner after I created the wing with the gel liner to. Placing the liquid on top of the gel will set and finish the look.

I hope this helps! Tag me on Instagram @_whosthatgirl_ so that I can see your re-creations of my newly named cotton candy lip.

Tootles for now!

Halloween Makeup Ideas


Hello my Beautiful Creatures (Bwaaahahaa)!!!

Halloween is right around the corner and I am beyond excited (EeeeeeeeeK)!!! It is my absolute FAVORITE holiday and I wanted to share with you some looks that have really caught my attention this year. Two of which I did makeup for...HeHe.

Last year, I decided to do the half Marilyn Monroe, half Sugar Skull (top right corner on the first collage) and it was so fun and simple to do; All I really had to purchase was the colored contacts and a few miscellaneous items that can be found in any Halloween store. Also a  few years back, my husband wanted to be Edward Scissorhands for Halloween (bottom left corner on the first). He clearly took it REALLY serious, hence the picture lol. It was also really simple to recreate this look for him with just a few simple makeup products such as white face paint, black eyeliner and a dark brown cream colored base eye shadow that I already had in my makeup collection. 

I find myself wanting to focus more on the makeup as the years go by OR as I get older :-/ because in my opinion that is what HALLOWEEN is all about!!!! I do think the outfit also plays a large role however, there are so many DIY costumes/outfits you can make if your makeup speaks for itself; thus saving you a lot of money and who doesn't want to do that?!

I am so excited to see what looks are re-created this year for Halloween! What looks are you excited to see? Create? Let me know your thoughts and what you think will be popular this year! 

See you soon,  (Chhh, chhh, chhh, ahh, ahh, ahh)

September Favorites!

HI!!!
When I said until tomorrow, I meant it!!!! I do not want to miss out on sharing my September Favorites with you! This is an important month on trends and I want to give you ample time to decide what looks you are going for this Fall Season :-)

I put together a few of my favorites that I have been obsessing over this past month. I usually do not like to stick with one brand but they all just happened to be MAC products except for one item this month.






The first item I have mentioned on the top left corner is a primer for the lashes by Smashbox. I clearly need to buy another (hence the almost clear tube) because it grabs on to my mascara and really helps lengthen and define my lashes! This is definitely a must have people!

I also mentioned MAC's 35 lashes because they are fluffy and soft yet very dramatic that helps create a bold makeup look. I like these because they do not look like you have a dead stiff animal on your lash line.

I have also been using MAC's NC15/20 Chromagraphic Pencil instead of using a white liner on my waterline. I feel like white is sometimes too harsh and for me, I tend to look a little cross eyed. This pencil also has so many purposes. You can use it for your waterline, brow bone (as a highlight) or even as a lip erase to smooth out your lip color before applying a dramatic color.

Next on the list, is of course one of my favorite makeup items; LIPSTICK! I love, love, love MAC's Diva lipstick. It is the perfect burgundy red without being too red or too dark. This is definitely a must have for the Fall!

I also had to mention MAC's Pro Lip Palette in the 6 select plums. I created a link to the direct website so that you are able to see the true colors. The photo above does not justify the colors at all. There are 6 pre-selected lip shades that range from the lightest plum to the darkest plum. I love this palette. I have been using this literally all month and have been playing around with the colors and mixing them to my liking almost creating any dark lip imaginable.

Last but not least, I have been slightly obsessing over MAC's Pressed Pigments. They have the most beautiful finish especially when applied with a wet synthetic brush. I mentioned a new one I recently purchased called Day Gleam. It is subtle yet makes any eye look stand out with just one blink. The light reflects so beautifully on it and they are captured well in photos. This is definitely something that I can use when doing bridal looks because it is not overwhelming yet has just the right touch of "hey look at me!"

Well, I hope you enjoyed my September favorites and please feel free to suggest products, comments, ideas or just random discussion on anything Fashion or Beauty related :-)


Tootles for now,


Kerryann
