The Bee-Yonce EOTD ...

Beyonce wore a fantastic eye make up on the "telephone" videoclip with Gaga. I didn't recreate it until I saw a similar look on Jangsara Facebook page that was too beautiful to ignore.

Brace yourself, full face with crazy hair coming soon !

Face :
NARS sheer glow foundation in Deauville
Maybelline blush in Original Rose
Annabelle Haute Gold bronzer to contour
Annabelle Amber glow palette as an highlight

Lips :
Heather from NYX topped with Gosh Darling (134)



It is said that yellow e/s should be avoided on brown eyes...But you know how rebel I can be (being a suburban soccer mum and all...)

Eye make up :
Base : TFSI toped with NYX JEP in Milk (inner corner) and Yellow (lid)
e/s : Matte white from Wn'W greed palette (fantastic pay off), Chick (yellow e/s from NYX), Wedge (MAC) in the crease, Divine Diva from Annabelle over Wedge (gorgeous plum color infused with gold...sadly washed out by my camera)



Liners :
Up : NYC black liner to create the cat eye effect
Down : Annabelle smoothliner in Green tease (dirty gold) topped with the same white e/s from the Wn'W palette.



Brows : NYX root beer e/s
lashes : Marcelle volume precision in black



Last pic is an attempt to a faux bob copied on the beautiful Maegan. She has amazing tutorials for long hair !

Have a wonderful day, lovelies ...

Annabelle and her purple eye....

I had the chance, one day to be cited as the "author" of a sweet blog. The nice girl giving me a shout out said she liked to imagine my first name was Annabelle because I was using the brand so often in my FOTD that it defined me...So today, again, please don't call me Caroline, I am just Annabelle ;-)

Look at that and clean up the drool from your chins, ladies ! one swipe, no primer : the 3 colors on my fingers are rainforest, utraviolet and tutu. I didn't swatch Fantasy : the peacocky turquoise color because I didn't use it in my EOTD but My brushes are itching to try it ....


Next , full face with flash : products used for the face are:
NARS sheer glow in Deauville. Still on the fence with this one, the coverage and lasting power are perfection but it might be a little too yellow on me...
Maybelline Mineral blush in Soft Mauve
Annabelle Haute gold bronzer to contour
Mac prep and prime finishing powder to set everything



Very scary close up on my eye :
Primer : TFSI
e/s : Rainforest(Annabelle) in the inner corner , Ultraviolet (Annabelle) all over the lid, tutu (Annabelle) to blend, the beauty marked dupe from WnW to give depth in the outer V (Lust palette)
liner : Feline khol liner from MAC
Brows : Root Beer e/s from a NYX trio
Mascara : Marcelle volume precision in black


This pic is truer to the colors : there is a hint of fuschia in the ultraviolet that is just gorgeous...


Lips : Heather from NYX mixed with Gosh Darling (134)
Neck : H&M new scarf....love, love, love....



Last one, just to tell you that this look was inspired by Laurenisokay on Youtube. It is quite far from what she did but she is cute and talented so I often take some of her color combos as a base for my own look !



Have a good day, lovelies !

To club or not to club, that is the question ....


I purchased Club from MAC, about 1 year ago. I tried it about 2-3 times without success...It looked muddy and not very flattering. But taaaaaaaaaaaadaaaaaaaaaaa, yesterday I watched a PIXIWOO tutorial and Samantha mentionned that it (Club) was in her top 10 MAC colors....Gasp....I am an hysterical fan of the Pixiwoo sisters so Whatever they say is golden and I had to give a 2nd chance to my unloved Club. It seems that the secret is to use a black cream shadow underneath. So I let you judge, hit or miss ?

Eyes :
TFSI : primer
HIP cream liner in black from L'Oreal : color base only on lids
Club e/s from MAC : all over the lid and up the crease ...appears bright emerald over the black base and dark brown in the crease (no base color underneath). The beauty of duochrome, anyone ?
Shroom (MAC) as an highlight
Rich chocolate smoothliner from Annabelle on waterline and to tighlight

Brows :
Brow-zing in dark from Benefit

Face :
mix beetween Revlon Photoready in nude and Gosh extreme wear in golden : foundations
Revlon bronzer in shade 02 for contouring
Mineral maybelline blush in Original Rose
Vanilla pigment (MAC) as an highlight (upper cheeks, nose, cupid bow)

Lips :
L'Occitane wax for lips (shea butter) as base
Mauve lipliner from NYX all over the lips
Sally Hansen gloss : diamond lip treatment

Hope you like it ....
