Colourpop Brow Colour!

 

Hi Pals!

I feel so neglectful of my blog, I have been incredibly busy (playing outside and enjoying the beautiful weather). So I wanted to do a quick informal post on the Colourpop Brow Colour.

Firstly, I have only used brow pencils until I purchased the Brow Colour from Colourpop. I am in the shade Black N’Brown. I have been loyal to Anastasia since the beginning of my makeup obsessed journey. And I still love their brow products. I have the Brow Powder Duo, the Brow Definer, and Brow Wiz. I used the color Medium Brown in all of them. But Youtube encouraged me to step out of my comfort zone. AND I AM OBSESSED. The Brow Colour is so incredibly creamy and long lasting. The pigment makes me want to faint. Colourpop blew it out of the water. In South Carolina the weather is already in the 90’s and ridiculously humid so lasting power is important. I haven’t used anything for my brows since I got it in the mail. I got the Brow Pencil too, but I haven’t even wanted to try it. The price point is great; the brow products are only 6 dollars. I am gonna include a couple of photos below of me in the Brow Colour. Thanks for reading. Until next time!

This is about an hour after I applied!

This was after a good 6 hours. I live in South Carolina so its super hot and humid and it lasted the heat! DIVE BAR SELFIE!

Just throwing this in there. Mostly for the adorable puppy, but I look good too! 😉

Sisters that Slay Together…

My sister graciously provided her time and face for me to practice on another human. She was the perfect first “client” because she was patient with me and we have known each other for like 25 years or something…so conversation was easy. Makeup is mostly just fun for me, but if it became a side hustle for me I would not be mad at it. I definitely need alot more practice before I charge anyone, but I intend to borrow as many of my friends and families faces as possible.

Tristan isn’t a big makeup wearer so I didn’t want to load her down with product. We started with a bit of color correction because she has some discoloration on her cheeks. I used Mac Studio Conceal and Correct Duo in Pure Orange/Ochre to correct. Tristan brought her own foundation, she uses Fashion Fair Oil Free Liquid Foundation. She has been loyal to this brand and specific product since her high school prom. I highlighted the high points of her face but only lightly because I didn’t want to give her a drastic look. And I reverse contoured with Sacha Buttercup powder because it gave a lighter affect than my usual contour stick.

For her eyes, I used my Morphe 350 Palette and put Porter from Colourpop on the lid. I am not gonna lie, I was super nervous about doing liner on someone else. I don’t always get that right on me, so I took a little bit of an easier route. I lined her top lash line with Kat Von D’s tattoo liner in Trooper and smudged it with a black shadow to fix any mistakes. That was more forgiving. Mascara was a bit nerve wrecking too, but only because I was worried about stabbing her in the eye. BUT, it turned out fine. I put Better Than Sex on the top lashes and Roller lash on the bottom.

I let Tristan pick her lipstick. I expected her to go with a nude, but she surprised me. She chose my first Mac lipstick purchase in Viva Glam 3. Its not a bold color but its not super muted either. I think it perfectly complimented the look. On her cheeks I used a light touch of Mac Burnt Pepper and highlighted her cheeks with the NYX Ombre blush in Nude to Me.

Here are some photos of the look! As always the awesome Alexis Schwallier took them.

And here are some of us together!
