FACE FIVE CHALLENGE


So together with Tanya from Leopard Lace & Cheesecake
Ashley from Ashley Maria
Shalunya from Shalunya & Boyet
Keisha from The Chrysalis Gals

A collaboration was hatched from an idea that Tanya approached us about and with several ideas thrown around we decided to do this collaboration called


The idea here is that each of us must only select five items from our cosmetics and be able to pull off doing a look with them. I find it best to select items that may also be good for multipurpose use. However one of the rules is you can not pick a palette of any kind that has multiple items in it.
Once these post we will then each select other people we tag to do this. It will be fun to see what others will come up with.

So to start here are the five items I decided to use for my look

I choose the Missha M perfect cover bb cream because its a very full coverage bb that will really help cover redness as well as any blemishes and scaring without needing the help of any other products. I did apply it fairly thick to maximize my coverage.


If you can only use a few items pick a bold colour that will make the eyes pop because then people will be so busy staring at your pretty eyes they won't care that you only used 4 other items on your face;P So I used Tony Moly Pang Pang Mascara in bright blue


I also used the NYX jumbo pencil in "Electric Blue" because it served as eyeliner, liner for my waterline as well as I smudged it out as an all over lid colour.

This is a dual ended item from Paul & Joe and counts as item 4&5. One end is an eye gloss and the other is a lip gloss. So I used the eye gloss to add more shine to the lid on top of the blue and highlight my brow bone and tear duct. I also multipurposed with it and blend some in on the tops of my cheek bones as a highlight. I then put on my lip gloss and dabbed a tiny bit of the eye gloss on the centre of my lip for added shine.

All in all considering the limitations I am pleased with the way the look turned out because its a very bright popping eye with a soft shiny nude lip.


HERE IT IS 



So that concludes my contribution to the FACE FIVE CHALLENGE.
I hope you all enjoyed this look and found it useful if your ever in a pinch and need to think outside the makeup bag and try to make 5 items or less work for you.

CAN YOU USE 5 ITEMS TO ACHIEVE A DECENT LOOK???

So the following ladies I tag are

Meaghan - XOXOMeaghan

  6. these posts are relaly good for people who are just starting out. sometimes people just want the fewest things and get one look and be done with it you know? that being said..not sure how far they can get with just a blue shadow stick but think of all the parties they could go to lol.

    1. Most people do prefer a more neutral look for every day wear, but I on the other hand love rocking looks that are not typical. I like bold outlandish looks a lot more. Thanks for reading and commenting:)

I LOVE blue shadows of any kind and I don't care for people who say "eeewww blue shadow anything is disgusting" they can suck an egg;P thanks for commenting :)

    1. Thanks very much my dear for stopping by having a look and a read. Yes a lot of people get very uncomfortable with loud bold colours like that, but I see it this was if you have nice eyes, lips, cheekbones, etc rock a look that will emphasis those things, never be afraid of makeup:) I really want to see more people step out of their comfort zone and try new things, we can all surprise ourselves. have a great day :)
