Colorful EOTDs by CS 88 Original Palette

As I had promised, here are some colorful looks I did using my Coastal Scents 88 original eyeshadow palette. I used Mary Kay Signature concealer in Ivory topped with Ellana Awake concealer, MAC Paintpot in Painterly and I used Aromaleigh Eyeliner sealant to wet my liner colors.


First look is "BLUE" because I am wearing a very bright blue top that day and I was inspired by that :)

"a" - as highlight in the browbone and inner corner
"b" - inner half lid
"c" - Outer half lid and crease
"d" - in the lower lashline
"e" - used to blend the crease area



In the end, I topped the liner (Taylormade e/s in Marsh) with Artdeco eyeshadow in #21 (bronze color) because my dad is looking at me as if I'm crazy..I know the look is SO bright so he was shocked that I'm wearing it to go out LOL :)

Here's my FOTD..Since my eye makeup is so bright already, I opted to go nude on the face.

FACE
- Lauress Kick Start Primer in Medium
- DreamWorld foundation mix (Freyja, Nimue, Amenti in Luna + Chang-O in Cloud)
- Ellana Sheer Velvet Powder in White Chocolate
- Ellana Blush in Patience
- Ellana Silk Powder in Raspberry Cappucino

LIPS
- Venus&Mars Lip detox
- Bare Naturals Liptint in Bellafina

Dreamworld foundations are really smooth and long lasting..this is one of my favorite MMU brands..it's very long lasting too! the only sad thing about this brand is the difficulty in finding your shade match in their foundation..This is the reason why I just mix all the samples I got so that I can tstill use them hehe so far so good..Someone from Girltalk suggested I try Theia + Amenti in Luna or straight Theia in Clouds..we are shade twins in other brands so I'll probably give this a try :)
Here's my second look..this time I'm wearing a greenish top so I thought to wear green eyeshadowws..but then I just decided to do a "summer" look so this is what I came up with :)

"a" - as highlighter in browbone and inner canthus
"b" - outer half of the lid and crease
"c" - inner half of the lid and inner corners
"d" - lower lashline
"e" - used to blend the crease

I used my mom's Estee Lauder Projectionist HD Volume Mascara in 01 Black. It didn't weigh down my lashes and it does gave me a little volume..it didn't smudged on me too even though it is very hot yesterday. But as with other mascaras, I had a hard time removing it with my Mandom Clansing Sebum..I also used Ellana MPM in Ethereal as a liner (applied dry).

For my face, I decided to have some color too..So I opted to have rosy cheeks and lips to match my fun eyes :)
FACE
- Foundation Mix (Lauress + Lumiere + J. lynne + Aubrey Nicole)
- Ellana Sheer Velvet Powder in White Chocolate
- Meow blush in Cat Got Your Tongue
- Dayna's Minerals GLows in Violet Vesper
LIPS
- Venus&Mars Lip detox
- Bare Naturals Liptint in Bellafina
- Miners Lipgloss

with flash

Even though my foundation is a mixture of my "least used foundations" (colors are off if used alone), the combination of the four brands resulted in a very nice foundation for me..as you can notice, I look so naturally flawless with this because it is not flat matte..It is very light on the face too..but after I used this pot up, I won't be able to buy this again coz that will mean I need to buy from all four brands LOL..I really don't know which brand caused the dewy look :)



So there you go, I hope you enjoyed my colorful looks because I really enjoyed making them..I can't go bolder coz I do wear them out during the day and I don't want people to look at me strangely hehe..next time I'll "copy" a look from sis Aileen's blog coz she did some pretty cool looks using the CS palette..till next time! Ciao! :)
