Complete Ecstasy

My obession with the New Hydra Matte Liquid Lipsticks by Gerard Cosmetics is crazy.  The color payoff is great.  It is easy to apply and will not over dry the lips.  This color Ecstasy is beautiful and a great color for this fall season.  With a pair of long lashes and perfect glow, you have a great easy fall look.  One of the prettiest simple and cool color looks yet .....

As my base, to cancel any red I used NYX Studio Perfect Photo-Loving Primer in Green (NYX Photo Loving Green Primer) and Maybelline Superstay Better Skin Foundation in Natural Beige (Maybelline SuperStay Better Skin Foundation)

 For brows, I used my trustee Brow Bar To Go by Whitening Lighting

(Brow Bar To Go)

For my Contour, Blush & Highlight... I used the BH Cosmetics Contour & Blush Palette (BH Cosmetic Color Contour Palette).  For highlight I used theBalm Mry-Lou Manizer (theBalm Mary-Lou Manizer) & M.A.C MSF in Soft & Gentle (MAC MSF Soft & Gentle)

For the eyes I used my favorite palette at the moment, the Lorac Mega Pro 2 Palette (Lorac Mega Pro 2 Palette) and Koko Lashes in #108 (Koko Lashes #108)

For the lips, I used one of my favorite color combos for this fall season.  For the liner I used M.A.C.'s Lipliner in Stone (MAC Stone Lipliner) and my newest lip obsession, Gerard Cosmetics Hydra Matte Liquid Lip in Ecstasy (Hydra Matte Liquid Lip )

A Complete Invasion

Cool tones of the eyes and lips give the most romantic effect.  Usually I gravitate to warm neutral colors but Lorac's New Holiday Collection has me completely captivated with its beautiful colors.  Cool tones, the new fall 2015 trend ....

Completely Inflamed

This is one of my favorite reds in my collection. LA Splash Lip Couture in "Inflamed". It's a beautiful hue of red with a blue undertone making it one of the truest reds out there.

This prefect red goes with any makeup look. I decided to pair with slight golden eyes, flirty lashes, slight contour and beautiful highlight. Every girl should have a perfect matte red.

Perfect Hue of Brown ...

Well, LA Splash Cosmectics did it again and it's called "Spellbound". This beautiful hue of brown is a part of one of their matte liquid lip creams, part of the Lip Smitten Tint Line. 

I paired this gorgeous lippie with lashes, neutral eyes and winged liner. Let's not forget to make sure the highlight is on point. Making this color the focus is what brings the look together.

Just the Minimum Needed ....

There are just some days that all you need is a little. Especially here in the south where the sun is fierce and the humidity the worst.  Still no reason that we can't look well put together and fresh face. Let ur lashes and flawless skin be the focus. 

I was able to get this look with the exception of the lashes and brow pomade, all on a drug store budget. 

Starting with a fresh clean and moisturized face because a clean canvas is needed for a flawless result.  

Products used:

L'Oreal Infallible Pro-Matte Foundation (Buff Beige)

Anastasia Beverly Hills Dipbrow Pomade (Chocolate)

Pop Beauty Double Duty Bronzer (Honeybeam)

Koko Lashes (Misha) www.ladymossbeauty.com

Sonia Kashik Lip Definer Pencil (Nude) & NYX Cosmetics Butter Lipstick (Snow Cap)

Keep is simple and just even out the skin and blend well. 

 

When It's Truly Criminal ....

Having that perfect purple is something that is most looked for by any makeup enthusitaist. Lucky for us LA Splash Cosmectics has given us what we want and for a great price. Let me introduce to you "Criminal" part of their Lip Couture Liquid Lipstick line.

This beautiful matte lipstick liquid is absolutely stunning. It applies as a gloss and dries super matte. The only down side is that it will be super drying but there is a trick. Exfoliate your lips and then apply a non-greasy balm to lips before application.

You will not be disappointed with the color payoff and long lasting wear. Pair with some lashes, winged liner and highlight and you are ready to go.
