Thanks for Sharing Your Look!

March 16th, 2009 by Karen 30 Comments

makeup and beauty blog share your look

Ladies, ya’ll did not disappoint. 🙂 Thanks for sending in so many great looks, yay!

In this first installment, we’ve got looks from Makeup and Beauty Blog readers (aka MBB Babes!) all around the world. If I missed your look this time around, please keep submitting pics and I’ll add yours to a future installment.

Apparently, a lot of us *love* our MAC, LOL!

MBB Babe: Fie from Malaysia

makeup and beauty blog share your look

  • Eyes: MAC Eyeshadow in Satin Taupe, Maybelline Eyeshadow in Naked Beige, Urban Decay 24/7 Glide-On Eye Pencil in Bourbon, Majolica Majorca mascara, MAC Eye Brows brown pencil in Lingering
  • Lips: Nivea Lip Care in Strawberry Kiss
  • Face/Cheeks: Laura Mercier Tinted Moisturiser in Almond, NARS Bronzer in Laguna, Laura Mercier Illuminating Powder in Mocha Spice

Describe Your Look:
“Very neutral make up. Flawless skin without looking very caked up. Good for a sunny day out! :)”

MBB Babe: Sole from California

makeup and beauty blog share your look

  • Eyes: Benefit Brow Zings, MAC Prep + Prime Eye, MAC Infatuating Rose Cool Eyes Palette, Bare Minerals Liner Shadow in Wild Ruby, Sephora Jumbo Eye Pencil in 507 Pink, MAC Plush Lash Mascara in Plushblack
  • Lips: Makeup Forever Aqua Lip Liner in 3C, Bare Escentuals Buxom Lips in Ruby
  • Face/Cheeks: Smashbox Photo Finish Color Correcting Foundation Primer in Balance (lavender), Smashbox High Def Healthy FX Foundation, MAC Blot Powder, Bare Minerals All-Over Face Color in Ruby Radiance, MAC Powder Blush in Dame

Describe your look:
“I used MAC 224SE brush to apply Satisfy (the light pink shade from the Holiday 2008 Cool Eyes Palette) all over the eye, focusing on the highlight area under the brow. I used the MAC 275 SE brush to generously apply Bon Fete just to the lid and the MAC 219SE brush to apply Wild Ruby to the crease. I used the 224SE to blend the color in the crease thoroughly. With the Bare Escentuals tapered shadow and eyeliner brush (using the liner end), I applied Wild Ruby as dry eyeliner to the outer corner of the eye on the top and bottom lid. I finished the look with the Sephora brand Jumbo Eye Pencil in 507 in the inner corner of the eye, on the top and bottom lid, and to the middle of the eye where I blended it with the darker liner. Curled lashes and applied two coats of mascara.”

MBB Babe: Ines from Korea

makeup and beauty blog share your look

  • Eyes: NARS the Multiple in Copacabana, L’oreal Lineur Intense in Noir Mica
  • Lips: NARS Lipliner Pencil in Jungle Red, Chanel Rouge Allure Lip Color in Passion
  • Face/Cheeks: Benefit High Beam on cheek bones and brow bone

Describe your look:
“Look-at-me red!”

MBB Babe: Kelly from California (you also know Kels as blogger Vampy Varnish!)

makeup and beauty blog share your look

  • Eyes: Fyrinnae eye shadow in Faerie Glamour, MAC eyeshadow in Phloof!, Urban Decay 24/7 Glide-On Eye Pencil in Ransom, MAC Eye Kohl in Smolder, DiorShow mascara in black
  • Lips: MAC Cremesheen Lipstick in Lavender Whip
  • Face/Cheeks: Benefit High Beam on cheek bones and brow bone

Describe your look:
“I used MAC’s Phloof eyeshadow on my brow bone as a highlighter. Then, I used Fyrinnae’s Faerie Glamour eyeshadow dust on my lids up until my crease. I lined both upper and lower lids with Urban Decay’s Ransom eye liner, then lined my lower waterline with MAC’s Smoulder eye kohl. I topped it off with black DiorShow mascara. It’s definitely not a ‘tame’ look, but I love it when I’m feeling colorful and daring!”

BTW, if you love nail polish, you gotta check out Vampy’s blog.

MBB Babe: Karin from Germany

makeup and beauty blog share your look

  • Eyes: MAC Eyeshadow in Smoke & Diamonds, Zoeva Nude Palette, MAC Powerpoint Eye Pencil in Engraved, Essence Multi Action Mascara (German Brand), highlighted with Benefit High Beam under my brow
  • Lips: Elizabeth Arden 8-Hour Cream Lip Protectant Stick in 05 Berry
  • Face/Cheeks: Benefit Coralista (*love it*), Benefit High Beam

Describe your look:
“It’s was a very cloudy and rainy day here in Germany and I wanted to bring back some kind of a summer day feeling before I went shopping (beauty shopping of course!). The outer glow kept me warm through the icy wind.”

  • Eyes: MAC Eyeshadow in Nocturnelle eyeshadow (crease), MAC Pigment in Pink Mauve (for the rest of the eye), MAC Mineral Eyeshadow Duo in Family Silver (the lightest color),Palladio eyeliner in Black, Covergirl Highlights Mascara for Brown Eyes
  • Lips: Revlon Marble-ous Match in the lightest color topped with some Carmex
  • Face/Cheeks: Nothin’!

Describe your look:
“I was going out to eat with some friends for sushi and decide to do this look. Even though I was wearing a green sweater it made my eyes look lighter than usual because of the contrast of the purple eyeshadow and green sweater.”

MBB Babe: Lucy from Puerto Rico

makeup and beauty blog share your look

  • Eyes: KissyWear Eyeshadow in Green Tea, Clinique Plum Seduction Quad (purple shade), NYX Hippie-Chic Trio (white shade)
  • Lips: Revlon Super Lustrous Lipstick in Cha Cha Cherry, Claire’s Clear Lipgloss
  • Face/Cheeks: Nothing (I forgot to put blush, ahhh!)

Describe your look:
“This look is inspired by the Joker. I’ve always loved the combination of green and purple. I’m a fan of color, LOL! I just decided to make a Joker-chic look with the colors representative of the Joker (green and purple). I don’t do red lips but for this look I HAD to do it.”

MBB Babe: Nell from Austria

makeup and beauty blog share your look

  • Eyes: MAC Eyeshadow in Crystal Avalanche, MAC Eyeshadow in Naked Lunch, MAC Eyeshadow in Sketch, MAC Plushlash Mascara, Urban Decay 24/7 Glide-On Eye Pencil in Zero to tightline

  • Face/Cheeks: MAC Mineralize Blush in Nuance, MAC Mineralize Blush in Dainty (only on apples)m MAC Beauty Powder in Tahitian Sand (to highlight)

Describe your look:
“I know the picture is a little washed out, but this is basically my everyday look — fresh-faced and simple. I like to keep my eyes fairly neutral (some days I just wear Painterly) and focus on curling my lashes, highlighting my inner corners so that my eyes look awake and then making the rest of my face look bright and perky with blush.”

Ideas for the next Share Your Look?

What should we do for the next installment? What about looks limited to products under $20? Or brazen looks with red lips? Or what about green eyeshadow looks in honor of St. Patrick’s Day?

Your friendly neighborhood beauty addict,

Karen

    First of all, Karen–you ROCK! I love how your readers are from all over the world 🙂
    All these girls are lookin’ gorgeous. Of course, because I’m a Laura Mercier freak, I’m really loving Fie’s natural look. Lately (I have NO clue why), the LM tinted oil free moisturizer has been flaking (literally, making my skin flake) on me..I wish it looked as flawless as it does on Ms. Fie! Great post 🙂

      Hi Fie,

      Thank you for sending in your pic! You are too cute, and I love your glasses.

      By the way, we wear the same shade of Laura Mercier Tinted Moisturizer!

    You all look fab, ladies! I’m sorry I missed this challenge. It’s so cool to see our different styles and faces. Maybe you could do a theme one like spring, Karen (I know, how original. Creativity is admittedly not my thing).

    Hi BJ,

    What did you end up going with? Either one would’ve worked — I do loves me some Coralista, though!

    Hi Tanya,

    Hmm, I wonder why yours is flaking. Are you using a primer from a different line? I’ve noticed that if I use this smoothing product from Clarins it makes my TM kinda flaky.

    Oh, I love Kelly’s, Karin’s and Nell’s looks but all of them are beautiful. I did something like Nell’s yesterday.

About Makeup and Beauty Blog

Welcome to Makeup and Beauty Blog
Hi there! I’m Karen, your friendly neighborhood beauty addict, and I’m a Bay Area girl who hoards brown eyeshadow and covets coral lipstick. Every morning, I wake up and say, “I’m going to do something other than a smoky eye today.” Then…I end up doing a smoky eye anyway (most days). When I’m not putting on makeup, taking pictures of makeup or writing about makeup, which I’ve been doing daily since 2007 (!), you’ll find me hanging out with my hubby (“El Hub”), my four-year-old daughter (Connor Claire) and my torbie girl cat (Pretty Girl Rosie, a.k.a. PGR).
