Neutrals...

Hello Make Up Lovers!

So this week's look is all about Neutrals!!! If you're looking for a soft look then this is a good look for you. First off I always start with NYX incredible water proof concealer in yellow under my eyes to get rid of those tired eyes. I just discovered this product about a month ago at Target and love it and never turned back. Tip of the day to get rid of those dark circles under your eyes, use a yellow concealer. Then I cover my face with Lancome's teint idole ultra 24h foundation. Next step, for the base color for my eyelids I used NYX jumbo eye pencil in sparkle nude. I then shaded the sides of my eye with lancome's color design line in colour du jour metallic to give that smokey look. Next I used Lancome 's color design all that brightens which is a gold shade which cleans the look of the eye and brightens your eyes. I love these shades simply because you can wear them everyday. I then went under my bottom lid with Lancome's le crayon khol eyeliner pencil in black ebony. For my top lid I used NYX studio liquid liner in extreme black and then used lancome's hypnose drama mascara. I have talked about some of these products before so I will continue on to lipstick! Today I used Lancome's color design in the shade Love It cream. I simply love this color because it's soft but yet fun all at the same time. To finish the look off I then used Lancome's blush subtil shimmer in plum affaire. Lancome is my number one favorite company because they have great shades, long lasting wear, and it has great quality. NYX cosmetics has also become a favorite this spring because they have colors that just pop and I'm naturally drawn to their shades. Well that's all folks for this week. Stay tuned for next week. I'm thinking something spring? Love ya!

Cleopatra Eyes...

So I was feeling I needed to create a look that was fun and flirty and who doesn't love Cleopatra and her gorgeous make up! For my eyes I first covered my lid with gold shadow with Revlon's Bohemian Photoready palette as the base. This gives you that nice shimmer. Then I put an amber brown shade in the crease which is apart of Sonia Kashuk "jewel of an eye" Eye couture shadow palette. Then I swept the yellow shadow over the brow bone which is in Revlon's Pop Art Photoready palette. Revlon Photoready shadow's are amazing products!! The pigments are bold and last a long time that make you look fierce! Then I used the following liquid eyeliner NYX studio liquid liner in extreme black, NYX glam liner aqua luxe in 24 carats (gold), NYX glam liner aqua luxe in glam azure (blue), then back to the extreme black. The NYX glam liners are only about $5.99 and I own them in every color. Why do I love these liners so much? I love NYX glam liners because they do not smudge, they last all day long and you literally have to scrub them off. That's how well they work! My mascara is Lancome Hypnose Drama. I enjoy Lancome products because they are good quality and it makes my eyelashes look bold and beautiful. I also use Lacome's Teint Idole Ultra 24Hr foundation everyday. It's the only company that has a shade light enough for my skin tone and has great coverage. Last but not least the lipstick I'm wearing is Revlon Colorburst matte balm in Audacious! I love these jumbo lip crayons because they are easy to apply and I love the bright bold colors in this line. It only lasts about half a day so be sure to reapply but other then that It is a great lip brand! I hope you enjoyed the break down on this fabulous Cleopatra inspired look and I hope you come check out next weeks look!Thanks for reading and have a wonderful make up inspired day!

Welcome to Dreaming Of Make Up

Hello my fellow make up lovers,

Welcome to my blog Dreaming of Make Up. Have you ever wanted to know about a certain cosmetic product but you weren't sure whether it is good quality or not? Have you ever wondered the following questions: Does this eyeliner flake or smudge? How long does this lipstick last? Is this lipstick going to make my lips feel dry or sticky? Is it really a 24 hr lipstick or Is it really only a 4hr lipstick? These are all good questions to consider when your making a decision about make up. That's why I created this blog so I can let you know if certain products are worth your time and which ones are a total waste of money. Each week I will have a new make up look, letting you know which products I used and if they are worth your money. Who doesn't love a good cosmetic review? I look forward to this new journey and I'm excited to share with you my favorite products and what not to use. Have a fabulous day!
