Glitter Pug

Feeling a little under the weather, but still wanted to look pretty so I did a simple-yet-sparkly look using Pug shimmer cream shadow by Buxom as well as Sephora silver glitter liner:


To start, I appy Pug all over my top eyelid:


Next, I line my bottom lid with black pencil liner:


Then I soften the liner with a little more Pug:


With black cream eyeliner, I draw a defined wing along my top lash line while redefining my lower lash line:


For more depth, I'm going to apply a little matte black shadow along the outer corners of my eye:


Then I'm going to enhance my top winged line with Sephora's glitter eyeliner in Silver:


Curl lashes, add mascara, and I'm all set to go!


Overall look:


Totally not wearing the right colored shirt for the makeup.  Oh well, haha.  Does this lippy look familiar?   I wore it in the last post when I got my haircut.  If anyone's interested, it's WnW Wild Shine Lipstick in 928 Fierce.


It's a glossy lipstick that's packed with shine.  I like the smooth application and non-drying formula.  As for long-lasting?  Average, but the color is so pretty and for only $2.99, I'm not going to complain!

I'm also wearing a new pressed powder.  I dislike purchasing high-end cosmetics, especially when they're not on sale, but I bit the bullet and purchased a compact of MAC Studio Fix, shown here in C3.  Apparently, that's my color.




Studio Fix is a finely-milled pressed powder that offers excellent coverage over my tinted moisturizer.  Does it work any better than other pressed powders I've used in the past?  Not necessarily, but I did get a glowing compliment from a stranger today asking me how I get my complexion to look so flawless.  Sigh.  I guess hearing something nice did increase my opinion of this product, lol.  I'm going to have to try it out for at least a few more days before I can form an honest opinion, but so far, so good.  Set me back about $30 though.  Ouch!

Well, that's all for today!  I've been working on something kinda cool.  Looking forward to posting it soon. :D  Happy Monday and have a good night!

    I have heard good things about the Studio Fix, I'm curious to see if you like it!

    The glitter Pug is beautiful!

    I love your dramatic lip color! It's stunning! I wish I could pull it off!

    Oh, you,re a C3? That's my color too (and C4 during the summer)! I thought I was darker than you though, you always look like a beautiful porcelain doll! <3

    I've heard a lot of good things about the Studio Fix powder. How do you like it? I've been trying to compare foundation powder lately, in order to find the one that gives the best coverage.

    I have 4 MAC brushes, but that's all... Before dishing out that much money on a product, I want to make sure that I absolutely want it... I've tried about 3 liquid foundation (Studio Fix, too much coverage; Matchmaster, I'm still hesitating; Face and Body foundation, I liked it but I'm not quite in love with it yet...). I want to hear more details about how you like your powder! :)

      You're so sweet! My skin probably appears porcelain-like because of poor lighting and low resolution photography, lol! I'll keep you posted on the performance of Studio Fix! :D

    Very nice look :) I really love the bonnet and how you style your hair, you look flawless!

    And I like my powder to fix my make-up and prevent me from looking greasy, but at the same time giving me a healthy sheen. I haven't found the one yet, so I use a powder and lightly highlight on top for now :)

      Thanks Pearl! Funny, I think I replied to your comment a few days ago, but it got deleted or something. Anyways, I love my little beanie! I got it from www.yesstyle.com, I think it's called a bow beanie or something like that.

      It seems I have the opposite problem as you...my skin gets really oily throughout the day, so I have to keep touching up to keep it looking semi-matte. So far, it doesn't seem like I've found a powder that gives me the kind of oil control I need, Studio Fix, unfortunately, is no exception. Ah well...the search continues...

    Man, I swear you can sport any kind of lip color! It's absolutely gorgeous :D I would love to wear red but because my hair is already red, I feel like it would be a super red overload lol.

    I also really love that glitter eyeliner too.

      I'll bet you'd look stunning in red! Christina Hendricks is a redhead and she looks amazing with red lips! :D

      But she's more of an orangey red :c I'm a darker/cherry red, so I feel like that combined with my hair and pinkish skin tone would be too much x_x

      Ah, I see. I guess it'd be fine if you were going for a Little Mermaid kinda look...which would actually be pretty cool under the correct circumstances! :D
