Mummy Makeup!

Are you guys prepared to see something truly creepy?! LOL my almost bare face...ha ha ha, NO really this is my costume reveal for this year and a pictorial of the steps I took to create my MUMMY look!

This is my final look! I love the way it turned out and practice makes perfect so hopefully by Halloween it will be even better.☺

What I used to complete this look:
Revlon Photo Ready: In a color lighter then my own (unfortunately I can't tell you the shade)
Maybelline Dream Pure BB: Medium Sheer also lighter then my own complexion.
bhcosmetics: Contour and Blush Palette (for white shade)
2 Coastal Scents Shadows: Vibrant Red and Antique Lilac
2 Morphe Shadows: In Coal ES28 and Velveteen ES72
MAC  Painterly and MAC Blacktrack fluidline gel liner
Jesse's Girl: liquid liner black
WetnWild:Fantasy Makers black

So go ahead and apply your very pale foundation, set everything with that stark white highlighting color in the palette. Then I used the red eye shadow and focused it on the bottom of the eyes, the corners and a little on the top. I used the black as the all over eyelid shade and used the gray to blend it all. As you can see I also shaded in my eyebrows ha ha ha. Who says a mummy can't have eyebrows on fleek?!

Whiteout your lips with the MAC painterly and use the gray eyeshadow to shade in your face, like you would normally contour but with gray.

Then comes a favorite part of mine. Make a kiss face and use your liquid liner to fill in your lines, kind of like a dramatic smoker mouth or smoker lips. Then I used the WetnWild lipstick in the center of my mouth leaving the rest white.

Here you want to use the gray, black and purple shadows to intensify the cheek bones and contours of the face. Deepen everything up until you are happy with the results.

I finished up by adding mascara, making more lines and adding black to my waterline and tightline.
Then you end up with a fabulous Mummy face and all you have left to do is add your bandages.

I really love the end result. Let me know what you will be this Halloween, I'd love to check it out.
Thank you so much for stopping by.

Have a Spooktacular day!

 

Too Faced Shadow Insurance Glitter Glue Review

Shadow Insurance Glitter Glue Glitter Bonding Eye Shadow Primer 

Price:$20.00 
Size: 0.35 oz
What the company claims it does:
Wandering glitters and shimmers are for amateurs. This featherweight primer is specially formulated to keep glitters, shimmers and powders in place. The hard-working formula also evens skin tone and softens fine lines. Shadows, powders and glitters glide on effortlessly, stay in place and stay intensified for 24+ hours.
You can purchase this primer at Ulta, Sephora or directly from the Too Faced website.

Product Review:
To start of with my review I must say that the packaging is adorable, totally cute. I love that it comes in a squeeze tube so you can control the amount that comes out, with ease. The formula is skin toned and has a sticky creamy texture.
The product does an amazing job at securing the glitter to the eyelids or even plain eye shadows. The glitter glue works well with chunky or finely milled glitters. I recommend patting this to your eyelids and not applying it in swiping motions. This product sets fast so work quickly. Once the glitter is set it's not going to budge. I didn't test it for 24+ hours but I did test it for about 9 hours and it worked like a charm each and every time. 
As for the price this tube is a little pricey, but in my opinion completely worth it. First of all because it comes in the tube and not a jar, it will not dry up, it stays sanitary because there are no wands or applicators. 
How often do you really use glitter? It's meant to be used for glitter and you avoid all that crazy fallout but it's a perfect eye shadow primer in general. 
Here are a few pictures to show you how well they work with regular eye shadows in addition to glitters.

Two different angels of my swatches. On the left side you will get to see shadows by themselves and on the right, you get to see them with the glitter glue. As you can tell by the swatches, the glitter glue intensifies the pigmentation of these shadows.

Eye Shadows: (Left to right/Top to bottom)

Jesse's Girl Mineralized Baked Powder-Esmeralda
Milani-Bella Champagne
Pacifica-Treasure
Too Faced Semi-Sweet Chocolate Bar-Pink Sugar

I also have a sample of one of the days I used this glitter glue, pictured above (first pic).

Overall The Too Faced Shadow Insurance Glitter Glue gets a solid A rating from this gal.
It is a great addition to the primers I already own and I look forward to using it many many times moving forward.

I can't believe it's been a full month that I launched my blog, it was official as of yesterday! It has been a work in progress, and it's been super fun. Thank you, thank you, thank you for your continued support and don't forget to follow me for notices of future posts.

Much Love,
