Giving You Vibes

Coming to you live and with color


On Saturday night I got the chance to do a full face of makeup, yet the event I attended was decade themed. That means this look process was different from my norm due to channeling 50's glam. I am going to hit on a few products that really made this look pop and I bought at a drugstore like Walgreens, or Walmart. I won't always do a review of multiple products at once, but it seemed like a special occasion!

P.S. My mom made that flower clip! Props to her!! Oh and my third picture is solely there because I was still feeling myself after the event. Plus the filter didn't actually change my makeup, just made me super bright.

Brows:

I was blessed with naturally thick brows and don't really do much to them, outside of waxing them once they get too out of shape. With that being said, this Maybelline brow pencil gave me life!! They currently have little shape to them, but a few strokes and brushing them brought them back together. I chose the dark brown instead of black since I didn't want to have clown eyebrows, and honestly a little goes a long way with this pencil. My brows did not smudge when I touched them and it took Vaseline to remove the makeup. It cost around $6 from Walmart.

Lips:

I used three colors in three different shades of red because I had read that this was a technique they had used to achieve the "perfect" pout... and it was also a trial and error situation of finding the right shade of red. I got lucky it worked out! I started the base by lightly swiping on the darkest shade(695). Next I added the scarlet red(690) to brighten the center of my lips. Lastly, with a light touch, I swiped on the bossy color to add shine and brighten the colors, since it is not a matte formula like the others. *I ordered the bossy color from colourpop cosmetics for $5, and I will tell you my love for this website at a later time!* Divine Wine (695) and Siren in Scarlet (690) I got from Walmart in Covergirl brand for no more than $6-7 because I am cheap, but they are two of my favorites that I've had for a while! These colors are super long-lasting through drinking and eating, even though I saw a little bit of color transfer with each activity (yes eating is a wonderful activity).

Lashes:




These false lashes come from the KISS mink collection to cater towards a more luxurious look. I picked Little Black Dress because it looked cute and like an amazing starter. I have never worn lashes and did not care to try. I still will not wear them unless there is a special occasion. I bought a crappy pair to practice with because I was not going to wait until the night of and look a hot mess! I looked up some YouTube videos and got extremely close to the mirror. I honestly can only say to keep practicing! I had some stuck eyelash situations, my real eyelashes! However, I clearly got these to work out, thanks to a miracle, and they are super light weight and natural looking. They cost around $7 at Walgreens. I bought the lash glue separate, the kind with aloe since it sounds more sensitive to the eye and I have sensitive skin. I have used it four times now and no reactions!

This is not the only makeup I have on my face, but the most prominent features! If you have any other questions you would like to ask me, or feel that I left something a little vague comment below. I am always up to interact with y'all!

Much Love,
Khariah
