Pink Pin Up Look

Hello Ladies,

I just sent out my entries to BUBBLEGARM'S Sigma Make Me Up contest so that means it is time to post my second entry. I had this look in mind for a long time, ever since I got the shorts from either River Island or Vera Moda, forgot which ones. They were a perfect pin up shorts, and I had to have them. About two weeks ago I found the perfect shirt and some accessories. All was left to do is makeup itself.

I'm sorry for so many photos, I just couldn't choose only a few. 








The brush set I really want is called "Blush Me Up", so of course the blush had to be very prominent. For eye makeup I used Sleek's GOOD GIRL palette, which don't you think is just perfect for the theme? I had fun with the eye look and I can't even begin saying how much I love those Sleek palettes!














Face:
  • GOSH  Velvet Touch primer
  • MAYBELLINE Dream Satin liquid Air-Whipped foundation in Ivory
  • MICHAEL TODD Concealer in Eggshell  mixed with
  • No 7 Instant Radiance Concealer in shade II (but both of them really don't work for me, so I'm still searching for perfect concealer)
  • e.l.f. High Definition Primer
  • COLLECTION 2000 Shimmer & Shade - 1 Pink Me Up as highlighter
  • BOURJOIS Limited Edition Vintage Blusher - Love at First Sight
Eyes:
  • NYX Eyebrow Cake Powder in Auburn/Red - used Red
  • URBAN DECAY Primer Potion
  • SLEEK Good Girl palette - Lycher, Peach Melba, Papaya and Morello
  • COLLECTION 2000 Extreme 24 hour felt tip liner in Black
  • WET n WILD Perfect Pair - used black eyeliner on waterline
  • No 7 Exception Definition Mascara - black
  • SALON PERFECT eyelashes - No 23
Lips: 
  • WET n WILD ColorIcon lipliner in 717 Berry Red
  • L'OREAL Colour Riche lipstick in 303 Royal Red
I was pretty impressed on how well the lipliner and the lipstick matched. I got the lipliner few days ago without even seeing the lipstick (I even forgot I had it). Am I good or what? ;P Ok ok, it was just a lucky pick.

My other plan for this look was to do some pin up photos so I could send them to my husband. Oh the greatness of being a military wife ;P It's amazing what I can find in my clothes stash, like these tights. Can you believe my that MOM sent those to me? They stayed unopened for a long time, probably for over a year until today. I do love them though :)

I feel so naughty ;P And I love my shoes :) By Irregular Choice of course, I'm on the quest to get as much of their shoes as I can before I leave UK.


 So what do you think? Wish me luck, because I really want to win this contest!
