Orange Marmalade Look inspired by Tina (The Fancy Face)

Hi beauties:

Today I wanted to share my version of "Orange Marmalade", a look that was done by one of my favorite fellow bloggers, Tina, The Fancy Face. I actually had the chance to meet Tina in person at The MakeUp Show NYC this past May. Tina always comes up with gorgeous combinations and she makes it look easy because she's a gorgeous girl.

I am off of work today and wanted to take advantage of the sunlight because I rarely get the chance to create my looks while the sun is out but I ensured that I caught it today.

Here is my version of Orange Marmalade

Purple Inferno (Recreated Look)

YAY Sugarpill!! LOL!!! I happened to stumble across a YouTube Tutorial by Dayon (www.youtube.com/user/krawls80) called Purple Inferno. It was a combination of yellow, orange and purple and it was GORGEOUS. Dayon is also a blogger but she rarely blogs. If you're interested in her work, visit her YouTube Channel. Dayon is a "sista" and she create bold, vivid, original makeup looks. I really like her work. She's super talented.

So today, my look is a recreation of Dayon's look "Purple Inferno". If I'm not mistaken, it received the most comments and recreations on her YouTube channel- GO DAYON!!

Hope you like it! This was my first attempt at this look but I will probably give it another stab. Oh and I forgot to mention....seeing that we're going bold, I used my Sugarpill babies!

Sunkissed Plum

**WARNING- Ungroomed, unkept, unshaped brows in this post. Viewer beware!!**

Since I received my Sugarpill Cosmetics, I've been dying to create a look but just couldn't find the time to do so and I wanted to create a look using the 4 pressed shadows that I bought- Poison Plum, Buttercupcake, Love and Flamepoint. Well seeing that I had colors of a sunset (red, yellow and orange) I couldn't resist doing a sunset look but how was I going to incorporate the purple?? Well this is what I came up with and I like it!

I'm definitely going to create more looks using my Sugarpill colors because I love that they're so pigmented and blend-able (haha, is that even a word??)
