'Sprinkled Rose' Look

'Sprinkled Rose' Look

This is the official unveiling of...my NEW RED HAIR! LOL! I decided to go lighter for the summer time (as most ladies do) and since I have done blonds/browns before, red would my next undertaking. This took quite some work to get to this point, including numerous color correction applications (to remove the black), a bout of lightening and a whole lotta red dye. On top of that I had to get a Brazilian Keratin treatment for my tortured hair to get it back to the softer, shinier former self.

You may notice that there are quite a few dimensions in the hair color and these were intentional. The ends and back are lighter than the front so that I can pull off a professional ponytail in the sight of clients rather than give them a full shock of red hair. :) Overall I am happy with it...except for a few Rihanna comments...but mine is more cranberry than cherry red.


 Eyes: 
PRIME:
I started off with NARS Smudge Proof Eye Shadow Base  all over my lid up to the brow bone. I applied MAC Layin' Low Paintpot (creamy beige) all over my lid and slightly into the crease as my primary base. Real Techniques Base Shadow Brush

COLOR:
For the entire lid I applied Guerlain L'instant D'une Soupir 187 Eyeshadow (satin deep chocolate). MAC 239 Eye Shader Brush
For the outer lid and crease I used NARS Coconut Grove Eyeshadow (matte blackened brown). Sonia Kaskuk Large Crease Brush
On the middle of the lid I applied Inglot #68 Body Sparkle (rose gold glitter) using Too Faced Shadow Insurance Glitter Glue Glitter Bonding Eye Shadow Primer. MAC 242 Small Shader Brush
On the outer lid I applied MAC Antique Gold Glitter (darkened gold glitter) using Too Faced Shadow Insurance Glitter Glue Glitter Bonding Eye Shadow Primer. MAC 242 Small Shader Brush
For highlight I used MAC Ricepaper Eyeshadow (shimmery champagne). MAC 252 Large Shader Brush 

BROWS:
My brows are filled in with MAC Eyebrow Pencil in Strut and MAC Embark Eyeshadow (matte reddened brown). Paula Dorf Eye Definer Flat Top Brush

DEFINE:
I lined my upper lashline with Wet 'n' Wild Crème Eyeliner in Black. MAC 263 Small Angle Brush
I lined my lower waterline with L'Oreal HIP Cream Eyeliner in Black. Sigma Eye Liner - E05 Brush
I used L'Oreal Carbon Black Voluminous Mascara for my lashes and added Nigel Beauty Emporium #48 Eyelashes for effect.




Lips:
POLISH:
For my lips I used MUFE #39 Lipstick (matte coral) topped with MAC Strange Potion Lipglass (creamy coral).



Face:
FINISH:
I primed my skin with Inglot Under Makeup Base. I used MUFE Mat Velvet + Foundation in #70 - Sigma Flat Top Synthetic Kabuki Brush - for my face and set my t-zone with MAC Blot Powder in Dark - Sigma Round Top Synthetic Kabuki Brush. I used MAC Prep+Prime Highlighter in Bright Forecast and MUFE #12 Full Cover Concealer - Cozzette P350 Cylinder Concealer Brush - under my eyes set with Benefit Powderflage -

  2. Hi Tina! I finally fixed my computer problems today - I haven't been able to "comment" for a while and it has been driving me crazy! I love this colour on you! Also, on a previous post you asked what was new in the make-up world while you had been away and I was dying to tell you that I got my grubby little hands on two new palettes in the last few weeks - the Tarina Tarantino Sparklicity Bronze Palette (I could resist it no longer) and the super gorgeous Smashbox Softbox Palette - you should def check it out!
