Fall Inspired

Well here I am again. Back with another look using my beloved Anastasia Beverly Hills Tamanna Palette. It's rare that I buy a palette and don't stop using it for over a month. I fall in love with products fast, think I will never love anything more, and then something new comes along, or I fall back in love with an oldie... Whatever it may be, I change up what I use regularly and it must mean my obsession has gone to another level with this beautiful baby because I still can't put it down! The shades are so versatile and you can rage from natural looks to very dramatic. In this case I went really dramatic. Surprised? Probably not!

In case you forgot what this Tamanna {dressyourface} palette looked like... 

Oh and here's what my face looked like...

♡

What I used:

Face...

Primer: Benefit Cosmetics the POREfessional

Foundation: L'Oreal Magic Nude Liquid Powder Foundation

Powder: "Banana" from the Anastasia Beverly Hills Contour Kit

Hightlight: Mac Cosmetics Skin Finish Soft & Gentle

Contour: The Balm Cosmetics Bahama Mama

Bronze: Makeup Forever Mat Bronze in shade 20

Eyes...

Primer: Mac Cosmetics Paint Pot in Painterly

Lid eyeshadows: {all tamanna palette} "Bengal" and "Chocolate" in the crease, "Noir" on the inner and outer corners of my eye, "Venezia" on the middle of my lid. 

Liner: Maybelline Cosmetics gel liner in Blackest Black

Mascara: L'Oreal Miss Manga

Lashes: House of Lashes in Pixie Luxe

Waterline: Annabelle Cosmetics liner in Curacao 

Lower lash line shadows: "Bengal" and "Chocolate" with "Blush" as my inner corner highlight

And please excuse and ignore my horrible eyebrows at this point in my life. I have taken the plunge and promised myself to grow my eyebrows out until they are much fuller! I didn't want to add much product to that hot mess... but I did do a little filling in with my Hourglass Arch Pencil.

Lips...

Liner: Essence Lip Liner In The Nude

Gloss/Colour: L.A. Girl Glazed Lip Paint in Blushing

Review on these lip paints will be up soon!

All That Glitters

Anyone who knows me is fully aware of my love of dramatic make up. I never shy away from a dark smokey eye, a strip of full lashes, or a whole lotta glitter. I have been getting so excited for holiday make up and the other night I got my first taste of what I can only hope will be a busy next two months of lashes, glitter, cat eyes, oh my...

This beautiful girl is one of the closest to my heart. Any time we get together we have the most amazing time but when make up is thrown in the mix it`s just icing on the cake for me. I took my favorite pigment of all time plus one of my all time favorite lipsticks to one of my all time favorite faces and boom... a gorgeous dramatic look! (perfect for a holiday party) or any other night of the week. 

Check this beaut out...

Face: L'Oreal True Match foundation, Maybelline Dream Lumi concealer, The Balm Bahama Mama to bronze, Sonia Kashuk blush in Sunset

Brows: Hourglass Cosmetics Arch Pencil

Fall Glam

Happy day, friends! Today I'm so excited to share with you some amazing pictures of one of the most beautiful girls I know. She's a complete stunner without make up on and to be honest doesn't wear much on a day to day basis, but since she was in town she let me take her everyday make up routine to a whole other level for our turkey day celebration! Not only is she stunning, hilarious and one of a kind but she's also my little sister... To say I'm a proud sister would be an understatement! 

I absolutely LOVE the look we created. It was such a blast to play with darker tones for fall and since I purchased the Tamanna Dress Your Face palette by Anastasia Beverly Hills while I was in Vegas I have hardly put this baby down! I started following Anastasia Beverly Hills on Instagram so long ago I can hardly remember. She is always posting so much amazing work by other artists, and just recently started collaborating with a handful of them and producing so many gorgeous palettes. This one definitely jumped out at me as a must have because of the warm toned shades and their amazing pigments. If you've checked out dressyourface on Instagram, you would know she wouldn't sell anything less- she is AMAZING at what she does.
