Today I felt like doing something crazy and bold and I took it all the way to max. I did bold eyes, bold cheeks, and bold lips. You don't have to take this look to the max like I did, do the bold eyes and do a less bold cheek and lip. I really liked the eyes and a lot of different companies provide the same colors, or very similar colors. I used a limited edition Urban Decay palette that I bought at Sephora on boxing day for 12$CAD. The value of this palette was 45$CAD according to the girl at the cash. So I got an awesome deal! Even though this particular palette was limited edition, you can still buy all the colors that were in this palette separately. I know that Too Faced has their new Too Faced loves Sephora 15th anniversary palette and they have a similar green and purple eyeshadow. I'm sure MAC also has colors similar to this, I keep thinking back to Aquadisiac because I love that color.
Swatches of this look will be at the bottom.
This look might look bold but it is actually very easy to do.
I wanted to try out the new Stila Convertible Color in Sweet Pea but I think I'm too light skinned to be able to pull it off as a cheek color. I can use it as a lip color though. I thought the color looked fabulous when I saw it but I find that it is too much for my light skin. Do let me know what you think.
I also tried out quite a few Benefit products. I had a sample of their face primer, the Porefessional, but I found there wasn't enough in the tiny sample to really do your whole face well. Despite that, I think it is a pretty good primer. I used their Stay Don't Stray eye primer underneath my eyes as a primer for my concealer. I liked it as well. I used the Urban Decay Primer Potion for my eyes to prep them for the eyeshadow. I also used Benefit's They're Real mascara and I found it to be good too. I got this mascara from Sephora for my birthday gift. It is a mini and you also get a mini of Watt's Up, which is a champagne color highlighter. You can always let me know what you think of this mascara on me compared to when I use Too Faced's Lashgasm. And of course I used High Beam, who wouldn't highlight when doing a bold look like this?

I hope you liked this look! I wanted to do something more fun and out there today so I chose this look. Let me know what you think about it. I did this look just for this blog, so I took the pictured immediately after doing my makeup, for once. Just for you to keep in mind. What do you think of Benefits two primers? Do you think they made a difference on me compared to what I usually use? And what did you think of their mascara? What do you think of Stila's Sweet Pea? Was it too much for my fair skin? Did you enjoy the makeup look and do you want to see more fun looks? Did you like the MAC eyeliner in So There Jade? I love that color.
So let me know what you think of this look. Also, if you have any makeup requests, I'd like to hear it. I'm always looking for something cool to try out.
I'm working on a Makeup Basics page so I'll let you know when it'll be up.
Also, I know I've been lazy about attaching a disclaimer but all the makeup, nail polish, whatever I have is all bought by me. All my opinions are my own thoughts.
Hope you enjoyed the bold look!
Steph xo.
