Yo-Ho-Yo-Ho: A Piratey Kinda Makeup

Aaarrrrr Beauty Pirates!

I went to a Pirate themed event last night and had to think up some Pirate makeup fast! I searched Google for some ideas but nothing seemed too appealing to me...and there didn't seem to be a whole lot of different looks to choose from, surprisingly. I wanted something dirty looking yet pretty at the same time, so I sat down at my vanity and this is what I came up with! I am so excited to share my night with you =) Enjoy!

P.S. I wasn't able to take these photos until the end of the event, hence the wearing off lipstick in the pics =( Sorry guys!

Shiseido Fire Sky Orange

Hey Girls,

I have a Juicy Orange makeup look for you today :) I have this awesome Orange palette from Shiseido that I re~discovered recently...I love re~discovering! So I've been dying to do a really bright but wearable Orange look. I got the palette at Sephora a while back and the name is Fire Sky. It has two colors, an awesome bright Orange and a really pretty glittery White.

So, here's the look! Hope you girls like it :)

~Face~

*Moisturize!

*Mary Kay Full~Coverage Foundation in 302 Beige with MAC 180 brush

*Maybelline Mineral Power Concealer in the shade Light under eyes. I apply 3 dots under each eye and gently tap with my middle or ring finger until blended.

*Hourglass Foundation Powder in No.1. I use this to set my concealer under my eyes with a small, tapered brush. Then I take my big fluffy brush and lightly buff the powder into my face.

*LORAC Tantalizer brozer to contour cheeks, nose, jaw, sides of temple and forehead.

*LORAC blush in Soul with MAC 187 brush.

*Smashbox Artificial Light highlighter on cheek bones.

*Maybelline Expert Wear eyebrow pencil in Blonde.

*Benefit Brow Zing powder in Light to set the brow pencil.

~Eyes~

*Urban Decay Primer Potion

*With a MAC 239 brush, apply MAC fluidline in Uppity to the lid. If you don't have those, use a small, flat brush and apply a light gold cream shadow or eyeliner.

*Apply Shiseido's Orange in the Fire Sky palette on top of Uppity Fluidline on the lid. Pack the Orange on with the MAC 239 brush. Just use a bright, opaque Orange if you don't have the same palette :)

*With a MAC 219 (any pencil brush), I applied MAC Goldmine shadow in the tear duct and brought it a 1/3 of the way under the eye.

*Apply MAC Brule to brow and blend down into crease

*MAC Symmetry in the crease and blend well

*Apply a glittery black into crease with a pencil brush and then blend it out with a fluffy brush.

*Apply Kat Von D Tattoo eyeliner in Trooper. (Any black eyeliner will do!)

*Line water line with Benefit High Brow or a white eyeliner pencil.

*I applied Stila Major Major Lash Mascara to my top lashes and Covergirl Lash Blast Fusion to the bottom lashes. I wanted the top very dramatic and the bottom more subtle so I opted to used the two different mascaras.

*Take your Orange eyeshadow from earlier and line your bottom lash line with an angled brush. Spritz it with Fix+ to avoid fallout & make the Orange more vivid! The Orange should meet up with the Goldmine (or a yellowish gold) on the inner 1/3 of your bottom lash line.

*Optional~Then I took a Sephora eyeliner in Flashy Brown (bronzy brown color) and lightly lined the outer 1/3 of bottom lash line. You will be lining over the Orange you just put on. It gives just a little more depth.

*LASHES!!! :) Mine are MAC but I don't know the number :( ANY lashes are fabulous!

~Lips~

*Smashbox lip/lid combo concealer stick. Any lip concealer will work, as does a heavy foundation :)

*MAC Subculture Lipliner (Pinky Nude)

*MAC Creme De Femme Lipstick (Rosy Pink with sheen)

*MAC Viva Glam Gaga Lipstick (Optional step)

Have a bright day! :)

Xoxo,

Ashley
