Halloween Makeup Poison Ivy

Hey guys! I’ve got some more halloween makeup tips coming your way, but in the meantime I thought I’d spruce up the post I did last year for the Poison Ivy makeup look with updated products (ie. not currently discontinued, hate that!) and give some more pointers!

-Apply your foundation and contour color. If you have a foundation you love, use what you already have. If you’d like recommendations, here you go: You can contour with this Laura Mercier Custom Contour Compact (I just found it and love that it’s refillable) and you can use this Temptu Foundation to just spray right over the top of your contour, which means you won’t lift off your makeup trying to blend. OR for a fast everyday contour and foundation in one Maskcara Cosmetics is where it’s at.

-Add your concealer, bronzer, blush, lip liner and gloss. I used Laura Mercier Secret Concealer, Bobbi Brown Bronzer in Natural, Shimmer blush is Laura Mercier Peach Mosaic, Urban Decay lip liner in Bang,  and Chanel gloss in Constellation. 

-Make sure everything is blended together nicely! I love using the beauty blender for that.

-Add eyeshadow and lashes. I used the Naked Basics pallette (these are all matte) and wanted a bit of a metallic finish so I added MAC Bronze. I used Ardell Wispies for her lashes.

-Get some leaves like these ones here and spray them with some glitter spray and allow them to dry.

-Apply lash glue to the back of the leaves and allow it to dry for about 45 seconds before applying to the skin.

-Layer the leaves on the skin adhering each one with lash glue and allowing it to fully dry. Apply green eyeshadow between the leaves to create extra detail. I used the green colors from the UD Electric Palette but if you don’t want the whole pallette the color Swimming by MAC would work great.

-Add some rhinestones (similar here) to the center using lash glue. And you’re done!

Destiny

destiny_September2015_websIsn’t Destiny just beautiful?

If you’ve ever been on my blog before you know I often use the Temptu S/B formula. As I try to explain to people how to use it, I am realizing that it may be more of a professional product because you have to deal with opening several different bottles and cleaning between every color, basically it takes longer. Most day’s I don’t even take the time to do it on myself. BUT Temptu has a new way to airbrush that is SO MUCH easier, and you just use this little machine shown in the photo from Temptu below.I’ve had the Airpods (the foundation that is used along with the little machine,) for a while but the machine I used with them has cords and is bigger. (If you’re dying to know it’s this one here 😉 )

SO to get Destiny’s look I’d recommend going with a foundation like Lancome Teint Miracle or for the airbrush option the Temptu. Love these little pods!

The Guerlain bronzer in 08 works great to contour for medium-deep skin tones. All of their bronzers are great. Her concealer is Laura Mercier Secret . Blush is Tarte Blushing Bride and I used Guerlain ‘Les Voilettes’ Translucent Loose Powder Mattifying Veil and her illuminator is Laura Gellar Gilded Honey.destiny_September2015_webs

On her eyes: Urban Decay Anti-Aging Eyeshadow Primer Potion, MAC eyeshadows in Saddle, Bronze and Ricepaper (classic fav’s,) Tarte inner rim liner,  and Nars Eye Paint in Black Valley  using the Bobbi Brown liner brush to apply. Hypnose Doll Lashes mascara on lower. Lashes are Siren from House of Lashes.  Brows are MAC Brun.

On her lips: Dolce&Gabbana BonBon and Chanel Sweet Beige gloss.  I applied the lipstick, then gloss then a little more lipstick.
