Soft Plum : how to picture soft EOTD ???







So yesterday, I looked tired so to fight back I decided to play low key make up...I am not that good a photographer so I had the hardest time trying to picture my EOTD. When a look is really soft, I doesn't show well on the camera. Any advice , ladies ?

Eyes :
TFSI as a primer
NYX lavender Jumbo pencil as a color base
Sugar dust from Annabelle all over the lid and to brow bone
Plum color from Faces cosmetics in the crease and outer V
Buff naked (Annabelle) as an hignlight color
L'Oreal telescopic mascara
MUFE aquapencil in plum (can't remember the number) under the waterline and in the outer corner to give some depth

Face :
Skintrue foundation (Annabelle) in medium beige
Revlon bronzer in shade 02
Angel blush from NYX

Lips :
Mauve lipliner (NYX)
Paris lipstick mixed with B52 lipstick (both NYX colors)

JOTD :
Anne-Marie Chagnon jewelry : my Xmas present from Santa-hubby-Claus. I adore what she does, she's a Montreal artist and she is so talented !!!

Hope you have a fantastic day and don't forget to enter my GIVE AWAY!

Swatch time : Annabelle cosmetics obsession !





So after publishing the swatches of the new Annabelle cosmetics e/s I purchased, I realised how many I had left....They were sobbing in their palettes because they didn't received the fame and glory of the previous one so JUSTICE is done : here is the review....TADAAAA

FROM left to right : Snow flake, Vanilla chilla, Buff Naked, Sugar Dust, Metallic Meltdown (top of the triangle), So Foxy, Divine Diva, Silver, B-ray
I pictured them with flash (it's better to show the dark sparkly colors) and without flash (it doesn't wash out the pale colors). I just swatched the color that could showon my skin : Metallic melt down, so Foxy, Divine Diva, Silver, B-ray. Plus, I just have 5 fingers !

BEWARE (of the dog mouhahaha) : I am not sure of all the names. Why, why ?
1- because I am an old trout and my memory is not what it used to be (sad, sad !)
2- because the pans are not labelled at the back (but as a make up junkie, I am very proud to tell you I advised the company that it would be useful. Of course, they 're gonna listen to me (I AM SO POWERFUL WITH MY 25 FOLLOWERS : big voice !)....

Snow flake : pure white matte. Think Gesso(MAC).

Vanilla Chilla : Beige matte. I use it as a matte highlight.

Buff Naked : Beigy pink. I also use it as an highlight (I know, I have an insane obsession with highlight colors ...)

Sugar Dust : pretty, really pretty soft pink color with a lavender hue or the contrary ;-). This is love ...I use it with my purple looks in the inner part of the lid or to blend bright pink looks. As I said, I like it very much and the name is so cute !!(I say that with the voice of an excited teen !)

Metallic Meltdown : between gold and copper. A perfect color for a bronzey look. So flattering when popped in the liddle of the lid just to have the light to reflect above the eye color (dugh, not sure I make myself clear there...). At the top of the triangle because it's such an amazing color.

So Foxy : a creamy medium-dark brown. Probably the son of Expresso and Embark by MAC. I know this one doesn't seem that exciting but you need a medium-dark brown in your make up kit. It can replace a matte black in the outer V, it can be a crease color, you can dab it on top of your eyeliner to set it, it's fantastic smudged under the eye to create a rocker look without looking like a raccoon. Finally, it 's the e/s I used in a contest I won so I'll always love it till I die ...

Divine Diva : Plum color infused with gold glitter. The pale sister of Beauty marked (MAC). I could watch this color for ages on my hand. It is just BEAUTY.

Silver: I'll keep it simple : silver !

B-Ray : a dark navy color. Very pigmented, easy to blend (same consistency as So Foxy, kind of creamy for a powder, I know it's sounds weird !). I mostly use it as an outer V color for my blue looks.

I' ve done it ! IT was probably the longest blog message of the History !

Hope you enjoyed ...

PS : I paid those with my own money AND I am not objective : those e/s rock and I love them !
