Bright Summer Coral

Hi beauties!! Today I have a look using the 88 ultra shimmer palette that has lots of summer coral and a pop of turquoise.  I hope you like.

The first color I used was a bright pinky coral color on a ML #305.  I went up to the crease and slightly into it.  I left the inner 1/4 of the eye sans eye shadow so that I can add a highlight shade later.  With a ML #863 brush, I then blended a coppery brown into the crease to ground the look. 

I wanted to give the crease some dimension, so with the ML #904, I added a black color into the outer "V" and the actual socket and blended it in.

For the inner corner that was left blank, I used the same ML #904 and a very shimmery champagne shade and placed it in the inner corner, blending well into the coral shade. My brow bone highlight I used the same shade on the ML #407.  I made sure to blend well into the brown shade already in the crease.

The last color I used was a bright turquoise and lined the entire way around the eye with the ML #772.  This kept the look from making my eyes look red or taking a turn towards the unflattering. 

Lots of mascara and the look is complete.

I hope you found this helpful.  Be sure to check back, we have some great giveaways coming up for our facebook and twitter followers!! 

Until next time!!

Summer Dreamcicle

Happy Summer everyone!! Mine officially started today, and so I celebrated by breaking out my favorite eyeshadow color, ORANGE!!  To make this look even more summery I used colors from the 88 Ultra Shimmer palette. I, also, finished up my overall look using many of Sedona Lace's amazing products! I hope you find this fun and useful and let the summer fun begin!!!!

 

I first primed my eyes using a tinted primer and then taking my EB 09, I ran a very bright tangerine color all through the crease and down under the lower lash line.  I didn't worry about blending yet, I will tackle that once all the bright colors are placed.

With the #941 I used a golden, yellow and placed that on the lid and inner half of the lower lash line.

I wanted definition, so I added a black to the outer "V" of the eye with the EB 21.  I didn't want this to be super dark, so after I placed the color, I blended the first tangerine color over top with the EB 09 to diffuse the black but keep the definition.

 

For my highlight, I wanted a matte color, because the rest of the eye is so shimmery and fantastic.  I used a skin tone color from the 88 matte palette.  This palette has a huge array of skin tone colors. You can also find a large selection of skin tone shades in the 88 warm palette, as well. 

 

Lastly, for the eyes, I added two coats of blue mascara, because IT'S SUMMER!!  

 

For the rest of the face, I used the EB 13 and a very light concealer to conceal under my eyes.

I worked my foundation in using the #480 Synthetic round top powder brush.  You could pick and choose with your eyes closed any of the Midnight Lace face brushes and you'd still get amazing foundation results.. they are amazing.I worked powder over the top with a dual fiber #813 and with that same brush, I used the color Sunstone from the Bridgette palette as my face highlight.  If you like a blingy, in your face highlight like I do, I highly recommend trying this shadow as your highlighter. 

The last steps were a bright orange cheek on a FB 05 and a very pale coral lip gloss and I was done and ready to enjoy the weather outside.

Have a safe summer, and when you're taking a break from outside check us out for more tutorial and reviews!

Summer Bronze

Happy Memorial Day weekend, I hope you are enjoying your day and thanking those who've fought for our freedom.  Today, I would like to show you a look I did for my beautiful model that she wore on a date she had that evening.   The model is 16 years old, so this look, I feel, is appropriate for a date at her age.  She wanted a bronzey, and very shimmery look, so I knew the 88 Ultra Shimmer palette would be perfect to give her the look she wanted; so I grabbed my favorite brushes by Sedona Lace and gave her this look.

 

 I started by lining her eyes slightly and adding two coats of mascara to define the eyes before I began with shadows. If you add your liner, pencil or gel before the shadows it becomes just for definition and not a big part of the look.  Then, I used a gorgeous champagne, shimmer all over the lid using the #941 brush.

 

With a mid tone bronze I shaded in the crease color using the EB 09.

For real definition and dimension, I used my favorite crease brush, the EB 15 (my number 1 recommendation for a crease brush!) and a very dark bronze and filled in the outer V of her eye, also, blending under the lower lash line.

The last color I used was a shimmery white, as a highlight on her brow bone.  I used the amazingly versatile EB 13.  I, also, used a clean EB 13 to conceal under her eyes, this brush is a must have for your collection. She was ready to roll and this look only took about 8 minutes to complete. 

 

 

I hope you enjoyed this look and check back for more looks and reviews featuring Sedona Lace!

A Look at the 88 Ultra Shimmer palette

Hi everyone!! It's 1/2 way through the week, and what I hope will be a 3 day weekend for you.  Today I thought we would take a closer look at the 88 Ultra Shimmer palette available from Sedona Lace for only $19.95, which makes each shadow only $0.23 a piece (not too shabby).  If you are a shimmer, glitter, bling lover like myself this is a run don't walk situation. This palette has a full array of pigmented colors in all shades from neutral to the very bright and bold and everything in between.  Each shade is a glitter, frost, or shimmer. The shadows are creamy and blend like a dream.  They are very high quality and soft, so a little bit goes a long way with these.  I wasn't expecting that so I made a little fallout with my swatches, just note a softer hand is all you need for these amazing shadows.  The palette comes in the shiny palette packaging that all 88 palettes come in, with it's huge mirror and two spongetip applicators. 

Here are some swatches taken throughout the palette.
