Because they were looks for concerts, I was in a rush and did not get to take as many pictures as I normally would. One of the days I even only had my phone camera. I didn't take note of which products I used (what I can remember I will note below)
In both of these looks I'm wearing Make Up For Ever Aqua Rouge lip color in #11, Dark Raspberry.
These are actually from September of last year. Whoops! As you can see I still have dark hair in these pictures.
In fact, looking at these made me miss my dark hair!! What do you think?
In this first look I wore a blue/green smokey eye to see Fall Out Boy in September. I had to apply my makeup in the car and my only camera was on my phone.
Not the most ideal for documenting but I still really loved how the look pulled together so I felt it was worth sharing!
The only things I remembered using are the Elf little black beauty book (I talked about it here, and to answer my own question, no, no I would not call it Holy Grail) and MUFE aqua rouge in 11.
Any discoloration you see is due to my crappy cell phone camera NOT a real reflection of my skin. My camera does this sometimes.
I like the general sharp winged shape I had here. It could have been blended a bit more but because this is such an old look, I didn't know as much back then.
My second look is from when I went to see my favorite band, Yellowcard.
I remember being so flattered because a few people complimented my makeup that night and of course that made my day.
For this look I used MAC pigment Bright Fuchsia which is the bright pink you see on the eyelid that ended up staying on all night through the concert AND sleep. Pretty impressive!
A worse phone quality but you get the picture. I also really like my key clock necklace which I got for less than $5 on Amazon.
If you notice there is a part of my lips which are discolored...the MUFE Aqua Rouge didn't seem to stick to it.
I honestly have no idea why or how this happened...I didn't realize it until later when going through my pictures. It could have been a dry/chapped spot of lips or it could have been because I tried on a few different lipsticks before settling on this one. I don't know!
As you can see I smoked the pink out with a dark purple in the crease/outer V.
I had just dyed my hair again so it's extra dark so I was trying something different with my eyebrows here. I think they look a bit off but it's all apart of the brows journey!
So there are 2 looks that I put together back in September and needed to last all night.
I didn't think they were worth throwing away so I hope you've enjoyed them. The truth is the MUFE Aqau Rouge is my go-to lipstick. It lasts FOREVER and is waterproof, smudgeproof, etc and MATTE (if you don't apply the 2nd side which is how I usually wear it). This meets all my basic needs because I rarely re-apply lip products through the day. I need something to last me all day.
The MUFE Aqua Rouge is my go-to for any big events, anything where I will be eating/drinking, and really a majority of my full face looks! I really love it and I'm so glad I got it.
The makeup pops but I adore the color of your lips!

DeleteThe blue eye makeup is probably my favorite on you so far that you've ever done.
ReplyDeleteThank you Kaitie!! It is one of my favorites too :) Which is why I'm so bummed that I only had my phone to take pictures on :( Maybe I will try and recreate it sometime :)
DeleteI think your phone did a pretty good job, but I know what you mean. Whenever a random great moment happens and I don't have my digital camera I get a sad face as I pull out my phone.
