Two great bases for smokey eyes: Chanel Illusion d’Ombre #85 Mirifique and Giorgio Armani Eyes to Kill #2 Lust Red

Tags

#eotd, chanel, Chanel Illusion d'Ombre #85 Mirifique, Chanel Illusion d'Ombre Long Wear Luminous Eyeshadow #95 Mirifique, Giorgio Armani, Giorgio Armani Eyes to Kill Silk Eyeshadow #2 Lust Red, review, smokey eyes, swatches

You know me! I’m for natural makeup all the way! But sometimes I “slip” and go for a bold, sultry, smokey eye mostly on a special occasions like a night out or a party!

I’m not a makeup expert, but after many trials and errors I discovered that using a dark base for a night look it’s like having your smokey eye half done! My most used two smokey eye bases are the Chanel Illusion d’Ombre Long Wear Luminous Eyeshadow in #85 Mirifique and Giorgio Armani Eyes to Kill Silk Eyeshadow in #2 Lust Red.

With Mirifique I’m already on my third Illusion d’Ombre Eyeshadow. My first pick was Ébloui, a limited edition shade and my second was the permanent Mirage.

Released in the Fall of 2011, the Chanel Illusion d’Ombre in #85 Mirifique is an intensely shimmering long-wear eyeshadow which offers true versatility. It can to be worn as an eyeshadow base, on its own as an all-over the lid colour or as an eyeliner.

As a base for my smokey eyes I used to use my MAC Black Tied eyeshadow, but there’s no comparison in terms of formula between the two. I absolutely adore the formula of these Chanel eyeshadows!

Mirifique is a really dark black with holographic shimmers, AND specks of silver glitter to it. An interesting combination of textures which makes it unique and gorgeous. It has that innovative Chanel gel texture that is both velvety and soft, but cushiony and bouncy at the same time. Now I find that my MAC Black Tied is too powdery and has a lot of fall-out, when Mirifique glides on the lid effortlessly and with no fall-out whatsoever.

It also acts like an “adhesive” for the other eyeshadows I layer on top of it and blends like a dream!

The other base I’ve recently discovered is the Giorgio Armani Eyes to Kill Intense Eyeshadow in #2 Lust Red. This one is made with Color-Fil^TM Technology which gives an innovative hybrid texture to it. Not a powder, nor a cream this eyeshadow acts like a smooth, lasting color film and with just one swoop, you can create a wet, shimmering smokey eye with a multidimensional effect thanks to the second pigment in it. It grants twenty four hours of full intensity colour wear, it’s crease proof, flake proof, waterproof and sweat-proof. So many “proof”s you might say, but I can guarantee you that it actually lives up to all these claims!

It comes in the form of a pressed pigment and it is a complex colour – a rich blackened, purple with burgundy undertones and with ruby-red, violet and blue coloured shimmers. I don’t know how much justice this description does to the actual colour but feel free to look at the picture above, since I somehow managed to catch it’s true colour that day for an Instagram post! 

Also, you are most welcomed to try your own, personalised description and share it in the comments below!

This is a smokey eye look I created using the Giorgio Armani #2 Lust Red as a base, a couple of Burberry Sheer Eyeshadows blended over it, and two coats of Chanel Le Volume Mascara on the lashes. The base is Dior Diorskin Star Foundation in the shade #010 Ivory, set with a bit of By Terry Hyaluronic-Hydra Powder in my t-zone, a bit of contouring using Burberry’s #07 Earthy Sheer Blush, and a bit of Hourglass Ambient Lighting Blush in Mood Exposure from my Ambient Lighting Blush Palette, and some highlighting using the limited edition shade Incandescent Light from the Hourglass Ambient Lighting Powder Palette. Brows, courtesy of Burberry Effortless Eyebrow Definer in #02 Sepia and on the lips I have the Dior Universal Lip Liner topped with the Tom Ford Lip Colour in #07 Pink Dusk.

Here is a closer shoot of the smokey eye with #2 Lust Red as a base! I really hope you like how it turned out! 

And here you have a hand swatch of the two in daylight. On the left you have the Giorgio Armani Eyes to Kill in #2 Lust Red and on the right the Chanel Illusion d’Ombre in #85 Mirifique.

What is your go-to base for smokey eyes my lovelies? Please share!

See you soon, Beautiful!

TRENDING A/W 2014: Molten Metallics. Runway inspired look with Serene from imserenel

Tags

Burberry, chanel, Charlotte Tilbury, dior, fotd, Giorgio Armani, guerlain, Hakuhodo, Hourglass, Make Up For Ever, MOTD, Shu Uemura, Tom Ford

Everything started with this gorgeous picture VogueUK published on their website, of the gorgeous metallic trend which took over the runways this season!

One word shared on Twitter with my lovely and talented blogger friend Serene, from imserenel and a few tweets later a new collab was born.

Her task was to recreate the trending Molten Metallic look with affordable makeup products and I got the “ingrate” mission ( obviously not! ) to recreate the look you see in the picture using high end/luxury products.

Here is the final look and the products I used:

COMPLEXION:

was the easiest to do! A luminous, yet not glowy, not even dewey base I easily achieved thanks to my trusty Giorgio Armani Luminous Silk Foundation ( my shade is #4 ), set with a bit of Hourglass Ambient Lighting Powder in Incandescent on the forehead, down the bridge of my nose, cupid bow and a bit on the chin. I did the slightest contour to sculpt my cheeks a bit more, using a bronzer – the Guerlain Terracotta 4 Seasons in #04 Sheer Brunettes blended up, towards the temples. And added a flush of the Hourglass Ambient Lighting Blush in Mood Exposure on the apples of my cheek. NO highlighter on the cheeks!

Then, with a clean face brush I made sure everything was well, and uniformly blended.

Base one! Next step…

EYES:

I have to admit that the complexity of this eye look scared me and put me on the fence a bit! I’m the one for a “lazy” eye makeup! Neutral creamy base, deeper neutral in the crease for some definition and to finish, guess what?!… You’re right, another neutral on the waterline to calibrate the look!

This was a whole other story! Layers and layers of colours and a lot of blending involved…

I used colours from both Charlotte Tilbury Eyeshadow Palettes in The Dolce Vita and The Sophisticate, the Burberry Complete Eye Palette in #10 Rose and #12 Nude Blush, the Burberry Sheer Eyeshadow in #10 Antique Rose. I discreetly lined my eyes with a brown liquid liner from Dior and did nothing to my eyelashes but curling them with my Shu Uemura’s S Lash Curler.

What do you think about the NO-mascara look the big fashion houses came up with for their runway presentations? I already blogged this trend here and here, if you want to read/see more about that!

BROWS:

Since my brows are nowhere close to the “bushy” feast that’s going on in the picture, I had to put some serious effort into making them look as close as possible to the originals.

So, to define my brows I used my new brow addiction – the Burberry Effortless Eyebrow Definer in #02 Sepia; full review here. And to warm them up a bit I went in with some MAC Wedge and Espresso.

LIPS:

THE Lips were another challenge! But check out how gloriously gorgeous they are!?! The dark, deep, burnished-red colour, with the most beautiful metallic sheen/glitter on top… Just fabulous!

I used: the Chanel Precision Lip Liner in #03 Roux-Sienna to contour my lips and to fill them up a bit. Then I went in with my Dior Addict Fluid Stick in #975 Minuit. I might do a review on this lip combination if you want; in the meanwhile check out my post about my other gorgeous Dior Fluid Sticks, here.

And here comes the fun part… On top of that, I added two amazing Dior Diorshow Mono Wet&Dry Backstage Eyeshadows in #006 Swan, a silver-white metallic eyeshadow with pink glitter particles and #616 Sequins, a gorgeous golden eyeshadow. And since it wasn’t enough “sparkle” for how I pictured everything in my head, I also added a bit of MUFE Glitter in N4 White Violet.

TOOLS:

LOTS of blending brushes from my Hakuhodo samurai army and some of my other trusty samurai, my usual Tom Ford brushes. Plus the Shu Uemura S Lash Curler.

… Which translates into A LOT of brush cleaning to do!

So, what do you think about the finished look? Do you like it?

Thank you once more my lovely Serene for this exciting collaboration!

See you soon, beautiful!

xx, Annie

FOTD! My go-to makeup November 2014 Edition!

Tags

Burberry, chanel, dior, Estee Lauder, fotd, Giorgio Armani, guerlain, Hakuhodo, November, Tom Ford

The look I’m going to show you next is basically the look I wore on my face for the last couple of weeks, almost daily…

Everything started with rediscovering the Illusion d’Ombre in colour #95 Mirage, a summer release from Chanel ( read full review here ). Thank you Divya for making me like it so much!

My base was something like that:

– primer: Omorovicza Complexion Corrector SPF 20, a product that you’ll find on my face wether I have to wear makeup or not

– base: Dior Diorskin Star Fluid Foundation SPF 30, in shade #010 Ivory –  But when my skin was really acting out, I turned to my old faithful Giorgio Armani Luminous Silk Foundation, #4

– as a bronzer and contour I used the Guerlain Terracotta Light Sheer Bronzing Powder #04 Sun Blondes, definitely doesn’t match my skin tone but I personally like the blush-bronzed effect against my skin tone

– because of the bronzer I often skipped blush, but when I used it I went for my Burberry Light Glow #06 Tangerine

Base done, it’s time to concentrate on the eye:

– Chanel Illusion d’Ombre #95 Mirage all-over the lid

– blended out in the crease with a bit of Burberry Sheer Eye Shadows #22 Pale Barley and #06 Almond 

– eyes subtle lined with the Dior IT-Liner #099 It-Black, just to accentuate the lash line and a small flick 

– and lots of Burberry Bold Lash Mascara #01 Ebony, over the Curve Lash Mascara #01 Ebony, my new favourite mascara combo and a new launch from Burberry ( review here )

– for brows I used another new release from Burberry, the Effortless Eyebrow Definer in #02 Sepia ( read full review here ). 

– the final look using the Burberry Lip Cover #24 Romantic Rose and the Burberry Lip Gloss #09 Nude Beige on the lips. This is also my daytime/work makeup.

I paired this eye look with multiple lip shades starting with my favourite nude combo at the moment, all from Burberry but also with a dark, bold, vampy, burgundy-red lip. My favourite lipsticks were from Estée Lauder, Burberry and Giorgio Armani ( read more about my favourite bold lipsticks here ). I LOVE the effect a bold lip has with this relatively simple eye look!

 -the final look using the Estée Lauder Pure Colour Envy #450 Insolent Plum on the lips

 – the final look using the Giorgio Armani Rouge Ecstasy #403 Downtown on the lips

 – the final look using the Burberry Lip Cover #33 Oxblood on the lips

The Tools I used were my usual Tom Ford and Hakuhodo brushes and the Shu Uemura S Eye Lash Curler.

I hope you like this look as much as I do!

See you soon, Beautiful!

xx, Annie

Dark, deep red lips for Autumn 2014 feat. Burberry, Giorgio Armani, Estee Lauder and Shiseido

Tags

Autumn, Burberry, Estee Lauder, Giorgio Armani, red lipstick, review, Shiseido, swatches

In a previous post I was telling you how much I love dark nails for Autumn and Winter ( … and any other occasion, actually *wink*wink* ). Well, I’m also loving a dark, deep red, burgundy, bold, statement lip.

And here you have some of my favourite lipsticks and most used at the moment…

The first one is the Shiseido Laquer Rouge in #RD 501 Drama. It’s a true red, well, the one closest to an actual red lipstick from the whole bunch anyway. It also has the shine of a gloss which makes it even more interesting and less pretentious! Makes your lips looking sensual and I’m easily wearing it during the day with a simple eye makeup, but also for a dinner out!

The Giorgio Armani Rouge Ecstasy in #403 Downtown is a deep, rich red-brown. Lots of the red lipsticks that come out in the Autumn are either very berry toned, or they have pink or or purple hues to them. Sometimes I’m simply sick of that pattern! Sometimes I want a lipstick with warmer, brown undertones. And I think Downtown is the perfect choice! It’s the perfect balance between a deep and dark burgundy and red, but with a little extra something added by the brown hues. It’s not one of those lipsticks that drags down your face though! If that makes any sense…

The next one is the simply gorgeous Burberry Lip Cover #33 Oxblood! It may seem similar to Giorgio Armani’s Downtown in the bullet but believe me, when swatched, it’s a whole other story. It is in fact another burgundy, wine colour with berry undertones. It definitely is a very nice dark lip still, without being too dark. What I really appreciate when it comes to Burberry lipsticks is that they have the easiest formula to wear. It can be build up to the intensity you want, according to the look you’re going for, from a sheer wash of colour ( that “stained lips” effect ), to some serious colouring, with maximum of pigmentation.

My next pick was a true revelation! I couldn’t believe all the hype around the Estée Lauder Pure Colour Envy lipsticks when they first launched them, this early Spring. The formula is so luxurious, that makes my lips feeling like the lipstick is”hugging” them. Maybe because they contain Hyaluronic Acid! Besides the formula the biggest selling point for me was the selection of colours. My first pick was not a nude, for once, but the glorious #450 Insolent Plum. A deep, vivid plum that glides into the lips quickly and evenly, coating them in full opaque coverage.

Here you have all the lipsticks swatched, from left to right: the Estée Lauder Pure Colour Envy in #450 Insolent Plum, the Burberry Lip Cover #33 Oxblood, the Giorgio Armani Rouge Ecstasy #403 Downtown and the Shiseido Laquer Rouge #RD 501 Drama.

My absolute favourite from all the four lipsticks above has to be Envious Plum. I love the bright plum colour, yet it is dark enough to get the vampy lip effect. And even if the formula on this one is so creamy and hydrating, these lipsticks are not prone to bleeding, feathering, nor they cling to any dry areas I might have on my lips.

What are your favourite lip colours this Autumn?

See you soon, beautiful!

xx, Annie

 

 

 

The starting over TAG

Tags

Burberry, chanel, dior, Giorgio Armani, guerlain, Hakuhodo, Hourglass, Omorovicza, Oskia, Starting Over Tag, tag, Tom Ford

I was tagged at the beginning of September to do the Starting over TAG by the lovely Brianna, the girl behind the amazing Cruelty Free Me Blog. As the name of this blog suggests, Brianna is a girl passionate about beauty made with natural, organic ingredients, eco friendly and cruelty free. Cruelty Free Me is one of the blogs on this platform I enjoy reading, because when I need a good dose of “healthy” everything, she can fix me at any time.

For as much as I love the idea of this tag I completely forgot about it! It all starts with the hypothesis that all your makeup and skincare suddenly disappears – God forbid! Knock on wood! Jinx! etc. …

After the recovery from your initial heart attack, panic attack and being a human again and not a vengeance hairy beast, what would be the 16 products you would purchase?

Why 16?! I have no idea!…

So here are mine:

1) FACE MISTS… LOAD OF face mists, starting with my beloved Omorovicza Queen of Hungary Face Mist

2) my FOREO LUNA MINI ( review coming soon ) or in the normal size. This amazing device helps you deep cleanse your skin witout irritating it. I got amazing results from it in just a matter of days, things that I can’t say about the Clarisonic which was total fail and made my skin worse.

3) moisturizer for day and night. Depending on the season the “calamity” happens, let’s say it’s autumn/winter time I will go for Oskia Nutri-active Day Cream and for nighttime I will buy the Omorovicza Rejuvenating Night Cream.

4) what I discovered to work extremely well with the Foreo Luna is the Oskia Renaissance Cleansing Gel, the best cleanser I have ever used

5) foundation I would buy first: Giorgio Armani Luminous Silk Foundation, but that’s no surprise since you had enough of me raving about it. Definitely my holy grail foundation!

6) I like to apply this foundation with my beauty blender so I will have one of those too.

7) for eyeshadows I will go and get myself Trench, Almond and Pale Barley Sheer Eye Shadows from Burberry for a simple, everyday eye look.

8) I find that these creamy, buttery soft eye shadows are applied best with the Hakuhodo blending brushes from the J Series ( review here ) so I will definitely get me some of those.

9) my mascara will be Chanel’s Le Volume the best mascara I have ever had.

10) and the Shu Uemura S Lash Curler. I have this thing I can’t go out without curling my lashes. I’m not the biggest wearer of eyeshadow that’s why I think that curling your eye lashes adds a bit of something else to the eyes. Besides that, curling your lashes makes your eyes look more opened and awake.

11) the Guerlain Terracotta 4 Seasons Bronzer to bring some life to my usually pale skin and to go along with it my beloved.

12) Tom Ford Bronzer Brush already reviewed here.

13) my next logical purchase would be blush. And here is where I will have a real problem! I love all my blushes and I use them quite a lot! Maybe the first ones I will be will be those in the Hourglass Ambient Lighting Blush Palette. I think it will be a good deal! I would have multiple options! But my second purchase will definitely be my Burberry #06 Tangerine, then my Tom Ford #02 Frantic Pink.

14) on my lips I will definitely wear Dior’s Lip Maximizer as I love how plumped and delicious makes my lips look, then I will purchase a bold colour because I can’t live without wearing a bold lip.

15) I can’t go out or to work without having clean, well cured nails so I will also buy a cuticle oil and a nail polish which will probably be in a nude colour, like Dior’s #108 Muguet.

16) and raw honey, coconut oil and tea tree oil will be my last purchases. I use them for almost anything… Face masks, hair masks ( maybe I should have thrown in some hair products too, like shampoo and conditioner…), body scrubs, to clean and disinfect my brushes… Love them all!

So! Here you have my picks! What would be yours?

I will also tag some of my lovely girls/friends here on WordPress, but everyone is welcomed to join the fun and do this Tag! So Divya, Jackie, Serene, Andreea, V, and the lovely Talker Blogger.

Thank you for your constant support, beautiful !

See you in November!

xx, Annie!

 

 

The Giorgio Armani Luminous Silk Foundation – my new HG foundation?… *with photos and swatches

Tags

Chanel Vitalumiere Aqua, Giorgio Armani, holy grail, Luminous Silk Foundation, makeup, review

I have always been a Chanel foundation kind of girl! Don’t get me wrong! I still am! But as a beauty addict, I feel that is my “duty” to try new foundations whenever I get the chance to.

The Giorgio Armani Luminous Silk Foundation rumbled the beauty world a little while ago. And even if it is quite late, and everybody ( …and their dogs! ) have already posted a review on this, forgive me, but I couldn’t help it! I had to join the crowd and tell you what an amazing base product this is!

It is a liquid foundation which has a fluid, ultra-smooth texture that glides all over the skin and dries to a natural, slightly matte finish. But it is not completely matte it also gives a natural, healthy glow to the skin, accentuating and enhancing at the same time your skin’s features. It is a gorgeous oil-free fluid which features an exclusive Micro-fil technology, that gives an all-day sheer to moderate coverage depending on your necessities. If I want a no-makeup-face I apply it with my Tom Ford #02 Foundation Brush and blend it very well. When I go to an event or I have an important meeting I go for more coverage and I apply the product with a beauty blender ( I’m currently using the Real Technique one ).

The formula contains fragrance ingredients and a small concentration of alcohol known to cause irritation, especially near the eyes. However, the iffy ingredients have no effect on my sensitive skin because they are present in a small percentage.

The Luminous Silk Foundation works best for normal to slightly dry or slightly oily skin, and comes in over a dozen lovely colours, for the fairest to the darkest skin ( 23?! different shades ), more than any foundation I’ve seen before! My shade is #4 and it matches me perfectly!

This is THE foundation to use for light coverage and an unbelievably skin-like results, bonus that perfect glow! Smooth and flawless! I think it is the kind of foundation that gets better with time: I put it on before leaving the house and just looks even better after 1 hour. It just responds so well to skin’s temperature as it blends seamlessly, and it does not oxidize throughout the day.

Perfect to use for big events when you are photographed a lot, as it will not make you look like a ghost!

Bottom line: now I have 2 holy grail foundations: the Chanel Vitalumière Aqua ( read the complete review here ) for an everyday use and for special occasions I take out the Giorgio Armani Luminous Silk Foundation.

– pic recycled from another post –  the Favourite BURBERRY Lip Combo for Hot Summer Days: the Burberry Lip Glow #19 Mallow Pink Natural Lip Gloss and the Burberry Lip Definer in #02 Dusty Rose where, as a base, I used the Giorgio Armani Luminous Silk Foundation

See you soon, beautiful!

xx, Annie

INTERESTING FACT:

The Giorgio Armani Luminous Silk Foundation is last year’s InStyle Best Beauty Buy award-winner for “Best Liquid Foundation” and “Perfect Match, #1 Makeup Artist’s Choice” for the 10th Year in a Row!
