Itsy...Bitsy spider

Need last minute Halloween makeup ideas? I have a super cool and fun look for you today. Below are the steps and products used.

 
Items used
•Mac 217,239
•Mac e/s used- ORANGE
•NYX e/s -autumn sky
•Mac Paint pot in painterly
•Maybelline eye studio in blue blue blowout

Step 1: Apply primer all over your eyelid using your ring finger. Blend the primer up to the brow bone.

Step 2: Grab your 239 and Mac Orange eye shadow. Dip your brush into the orange and apply on the lid in a patting motion. Keep applying until you get the perfect orange for you.

Step 3: Go into the eye studio pallet. There is 5 colors the one we will be using is the 2 shade to the right. Using your 217 blend this color into the orange. What normally helps people to blend in using a back and forth motion. After you blend in the purple/blue hued color we are now going to go into NYX eye shadow in autumn sky. All you have to do is on top of the purple/blue blend in the bright sunny blue.

Step 4: Apply the liner. This is a big part of this look. First line the tip lid like you would normally just a bit thicker. Next with your liner brush draw a smooth zig zag line using the corner of your eye to keep it straight.on the bottom of the line draw a thick dot and 8 legs. I then went into a silver eyeliner and in the middle which is the dot put silver and on the 8 legs I put little silver dots as well.

Nyx Eye shadow Trios

Hey guys ! So It's time to do new swatches ! Right ? So I'm going to start with Nyx! I know many of you love Nyx so why not swatch some of them and give you my honest opinion! Currently they are $ 8.00 at
nyxcosmetics.com

Well first off pigmentation is - 8/10
Eight out of ten because some of the shades are hard to build up and feel odd .

Color range is - 9/10
Nine out of ten because they have a lot of shades for the trios!

Lets start with Honeycomb , it has one shimmery nude , one dark gold brown , and one gold !

( swatches shown on mac paint pot in painterly ! )

Shimmer nude color , Dark brown gold shimmer , Gold


Another natural trio is Nude/Taupe/Dark Brown  . It is what the title is nude a taupe and a dark brown matte!


( swatches shown on mac paint pot in painterly ! )

Nude , Taupe, Dark brown


Another natural ..almost pallet trio is Anti Diva . It has a shimmer white with purple pearl , teal and a gold


( swatches with no base ! )

Shimmer white pearl purple , teal , gold

This pallet ( Anti Diva ) show the best pigment I think by the way !

Next Hippie-Chic . It has one off white shimmer , one teal green , and one lilac !


Pigment was bad with these I really don't love this pallet what so ever!

Off white shimmer , teal green , lilac


Next is another least favorite .... Tropical/Yellow/Lime Green  . the red is so ugly and the yellow has no pigment !



Tropical , Yellow , Lime green

Here are the pallet's i have and some were a disappointment and some were fantastic ! The best one's were the nude undertones ones .. sorry !
