Modern Renaissance, Tenant, & Moondust
I have been feeling unmotivated to branch out from a default daily red look lately, but I branched out slightly this morning. It began with the usual primer, then Buon Fresco from Modern Renaissance in what I'm calling my crease. I put down a base of Nyx Jumbo Pencil in Rust on my lids. Went over Rust with Venetian Red from Modern Renaissance. These are all common components of my default look but here is where it started deviating from my norm. I just started looking around at my stash and seeing things I love but don't use. And then I used them.
Blended out Venetian Red into Buon Fresco with the dark purple from Urban Decay's Tenant palette. I didn't commit the shade names to memory and I can't get the damn picture to enlarge so it's purple, okay? I used the palest pink from Tenant on the browbones, and the darker pink in the crease area, just adding depth by using some different shades and blending them together. I used a slightly bigger brush for the darker pink and a narrow brush for the dark purple.
Lower lashlines sound more complicated than they are. This takes a lot of words but only took a couple minutes to execute. Inner corners are Nyx Faux Whites in Vanilla pencil gone over with Sugarpill Lumi. (The pencil just gives Lumi something to stick to. Any vaguely whitish eyeliner pencil will do.) The blue liner is some random UD blue whose name I didn't even look at, gone over with the lighter of the two blues from Tenant with a wide liner brush. Deepened outer corners with the darker blue from Tenant.
Not busy enough! I dabbed some Nyx glitter primer on my lids (right over the shadow) and applied Vega (the blue) from the Moondust palette with the UD finger brush. There is a Moondust brush and I have it, but I prefer the finger brush. Once I was glittered up, I did wings. Then took a cotton pad and eye makeup remover and cleaned up the fallout, and painted on the rest of my face. And here we are!
Full face and I guess I'm sorry I'm not all rainbows and sunshine at this hour of the morning, or whatever. Feeling this makeup though!
Rest of the stuff on my face:
Primer: Cotz Face for Lighter Skintones SPF 40.
Ridiculously large wings: Inglot gel liner in whatever the black shade is.
Waterline and tightline: Urban Decay eyeliner in Zero
Brows: My naturally thickish brows, rather overgrown and just darkened up with Dark Brown Dipbrow. Because natural ginger brow highlights are stupid.
Concealer under eyes and over my delightful allergy rash: Maybelline Instant Age Rewind in Fair.
Powder: Kat Von D Lock-It powder foundation in Light 42 all over. Hourglass Ambient Lighting in Ethereal Light just under eyes.
Contour: Sephora Colorful Face Powders in Tranquil. Does not appear to still be available.
Blush: Nars Goulue.
Highlight: Pink Heart and Blue Ice from the ABH Moonchild Glow Kit. Pink Heart on most of the high points of cheekbones and a tiny bit of Blue Ice on the very highest points. Any appearance of highlighter elsewhere on my face comes from overhead lighting.
Setting Spray: Milani Make It Last.
Mascara: Nyx Doll Eye Volume.
Lipstick: Coloured Raine liquid lipstick in Heart of Stone.
