Diamonds are a girls best friend.

BEAUTY
December 31 2009
One of my favourite bloggers Zoe recently hit the 2000 follower mark. Congratulations girlie! 😀
To celebrate she is having a Diamond themed contest and this is my entry for it.
I find diamonds to be very glamourous and when I think of them , I think Sparkly and girly, so I created this look based on that.

Make-up Breakdown

Eyes

I primed my eyes with Too Face Shadow Insurance as usual. I then followed by basing the lid with a greyish/black shadestick (MACs Sharksin).
Using a flat shading brush, a matte purple eyeshadow (MACs Shadow lady) was applied all over the lid and slightly blended into the crease.
To add sparkle, I followed with a purple pigment (Radio Waves by Facefront) sweeping it into my crease and blending it upward toward the brow bone.
My brow bone, temples and cheek plain, were highlighted using MACs Filament.
For even more sparkle, I applied a glittery silver gel liner (Collection 2000’s Glam Crystals in Glitz) to my lower lash line and drew tiny stars and dots on my temples.

I finished off with a bit of mascara and false eyelashes. 

Face

I stippled on my cream foundation (MACs Studio Tech) using a duo fibre brush and finished it with my MSF foundation. I blushed on a light peachy pink mousse blush (Maybelline Dream Mousse  in Peach Satin). 

Lips

Lippy/Gloss combo: Maybelline’s Ambre Rose and Crystal Rocks, topped with a bit of glitter.

Shirley Recommends… 

1. Ambre Rose ~ Maybelline Color Sensationel Lipstick
2. Crystal Rocks ~ Maybelline Water Shine Gloss
3. Radio Waves ~ Facefront Cosmetics Paint Me Perfect
4. Peach Satin ~ Maybelline Dream Mousse Blush
5. Glitz ~ Collection 2000 Glam Crystals Dazzling Gel Liner

~~~

The look is also going to serve as my NEW YEAR’s EVE look! 😀

Have a very happy new year everyone.
