Still Enchanted: a dramatic look with MUG pigment Enchanted

Hello!

I would like to dedicate another post to the MUG pigment Enchanted because I am still absolutely Enchanted by it :). Hmm, I forgot to show you picture of it last time. Let me correct this mistake immediately.

Pretty isn’t she? 🙂

Last time I showed you a very simple look with this pigment, so this time I am going to crank it up a notch…it is going to be real DRAMA!

Why?!

Because I added some beautiful false lashes…

But let’s start from the beginning…

I was busy creating a look with Enchanted and the Essence pigment Be My Brightsmaid (I didn’t misspell it, that is indeed how the lovely people from Essence called it ;)) It was going pretty well, turning a bit more to the dramatic side, but still not too over the top. Right?

Then I looked in the mirror, and a feeling of incompleteness overwhelmed me…Something was missing! What was bothering me?!?!?…Well, my lashes were sort of clumped together and were ruining the whole idea :S. Everyone experiences those good and bad lashes days..the ones when you either love the way mascara turned out, or you simply want to cut your lashes and throw the mascara in the bin asap. Mine were obviously having a bad day…

Luckily, I had a pair of really pretty falsies that were just perfect for this look. And here you can see how adding false lashes makes all the difference in the world:

Thank you falsies!!! You saved the day 🙂

What I used for this dramatic look:

• Essence I love stage e/s base
• NYX JEP Milk
• MUG pigment Enchanted
• Essence pigment #09 Be My Brightsmaid
• MAC pigment Reflects Pearl
• MUG e/s Corrupt
• MUG e/s Glamorous
• Nivea e/s #13 Vintage Rose
• Catrice Glamour Doll volume mascara
• Eye Candy false lashes 007

What do you think about this look? Did you already fall in love with Enchanted?

Light look with Essence Black Star crystal liner

Hi hi,

as you know, I made my feelings regarding the  Essence Black Star crystal liner very clear at least in two of my previous posts. I didn’t really like it, and I couldn’t figure out a way to use it…Bummer!

I have been thinking ever since how to redeem this baby to the world. I am still not sure I will succeed but at least I shall try. It occurred to me to use the black glitter over a white eyeshadow to create a contrast that makes the glitter pop and look pretty. What do you think =>

And now you can see it a bit better:

I am actually fond of this outcome. At least, it is an idea of how to use the Essence Black Star crystal liner in case you, like I, did not find it very inspiring as a glitter eyeliner.

List of products used:

• Essence I love stage e/s base
• Sleek eye dust Green with Envy
• Ben Nye pigment Ice
• Nivea e/s #13 Vintage Rose
• Essence pigment #21 Jungle Fever
• Essence Black Star crystal liner
• Catrice Glamour Doll volume mascara

Let me know if you have other ideas, and what you think of this one!
