Daenerys Targaryen Makeup

Daenerys Targaryen Makeup:

What I used, in order this time.

First, apply a cream or moisturizer to your face.

(I have an extremely dry face, so I let mine sit for 10-15 minutes, like a mask.)

Apply a Redness Reducing foundation, or your favorite foundation.

I used Clinique Redness Solution in Calming Fair.

Next, I used my Too Faced Glamour To Go Dream Edition Palette for my eyes and brows.

I used the Silvery Cream under my gold brush handle for my lids.

I used the brown to the right of the handle for lining my eyes, and for my brows.

Next, I used some Maybelline Fit Me Concealer around my nose. (It was EXTREMELY red and irritated.)

Next I used all over glow to add a little flush to my cheeks. 

It seems counter intuitive to a redness reduction, but I later realized that she had a little blush on her cheeks.

Finally, I added a little touch of Estee Lauder's Rose Tea.

And there you have it! Next, I'll be doing Hermione's Yule Ball Hair and Makeup. I'm also swatching Urban Decay's Naked Palette and E.L.F.'s 100 palette.

The makeup brushed I used:

My Favorite Blush (It's Drugstore!)

My Favorite Blush:

L'Oreal Bare Naturale/True Match Naturale  All Over Glow

Color: Rose Glow

Color choices (At Walmart Online): 4

Price: USD $12.94

Color Choices (Target Online): 5

Price: USD $6.24- $12.99

**DON'T GET BLUSH!!! GET THE ALL OVER MINERAL GLOW**

It's a little on the pricey side, but I've had this one for a couple years; even though it's bad, the blush has withheld all of the original product qualities. It's SO worth the money! I'm planning on checking out my local Target store to see if they carry Rose Glow. Overall though, this whole line is amazing. Not just this color, or even the blush! I highly recommend this product. 

Have a good day, or night!

Today's Makeup 8-14-2012

This is what it looks like from a profile.

E.L.F. Eye shadow Palette

For my eyes, I used the top left white as a highlight.

As a base, I used the brassy eye shadow diagonally down-right from the yellow.

For filling in my brows, I use a brown on the bottom row. (Fourth from left.)

After everything but the lipstick is on, I liberally apply translucent powder. 

(Even over the eyes.)

Before Foundation, I liberally apply face cream to my extremely dry face.

For eyeliner, I used Estee Lauder's Artist Eye Pencil in 01 Softsmudge Black.

I used Clinique Redness Solutions Foundation in 02 Calming Fair (VF.)

These are the brushes I use.

Left: Eyeshadow

Middle: Brows

Right: Translucent Powder

These are all Limited Edition Bamboo Sonia Kashuk Brushes from Target. 

(They came with a pretty boring palette that I have since discarded)

Finally, my lipstick (haha, it matches my mom's comforter.)

This is Revlon's Super Lustrous Lipstick in 131 Ginger Rose, a now discontinued color.

Demure, Sparkling Cider, and Blushing Nude work as good substitutes.

My Most Expensive Makeup Buy

 Make Up For Ever's Moulin Rouge

And this is how it looks on my lips.

My Favorite Red Lipsticks

This is Wet 'N Wild's Hot Red number 519A.

This is L'Oreal Coleur Riche in 305 Target Red.

This is Wet 'N Wild's Cherry Frost, number 514A

Make Up For Ever's Profesional Paris Rouge Artist Intense in Moulin Rouge.

This was the most expensive one, coming in at $22 with taxes of 7.25%.

 I got this one from Sephora; I love the cute packaging!

No Pain, No Gain; Right?

A fundamental of beauty:

What is beauty without a little pain??

  Sunday, I was using one of my staples, a Revlon Triple Barrel, to get ready for my friend's last u15 hockey game. This burn was HUGE before I started coating it with aloe gel. I literally hit my hand on the triple barrel. No more than three seconds of pure hell. My poor left hand is a constant battle ground. I'll have a post of what I used today for my makeup posted in a few minutes. :)

The Actual Update

A little Update: (Again)

  Tomorrow, I will be incorporating makeup and miscellaneous tutorials as well as reviews of daily things to supplement the fact that I will be at college. I will try my best to do at least two recipes each weekend, because I will be home on weekends. I might also include some of my very, very amateur photography. I hope everyone will find a little humor in all of it, because I will have honest first time makeup applications, among other things. I hope this doesn't deter you from my blog, though, because that would make me really sad!! :(

  Needless to say, I hope all of the viewers have had a good time thus far, and continue to enjoy my blog. I hope you all have a good day, or night. Enjoy!
