Jeffree Star Velour Liquid Lipstick Update

Just wanted to update on how doing my eyebrows went using Jeffree Star's Velour Liquid Lipstick was going.

I start by getting some of liquid lipstick out onto a palette of some sort. I personally begin applying my brows by simply painting on the color using an angled brush. I do like to try and start with the bottom end or line of the brow, moving onto my top line and then filling in the center of the brow. I do my very best to make sure the brow is a saturated with color as possible. No, you should not have color dripping from your brows, however there really shouldn't be any "bald" or colorless spots either. Next you can use a q-tip with some make-up remover or a baby wipe to get rid of any extra color that may be outside the lines. Last you can poweder your brow, although I do not find this nessisary. I do like to use a clear brow gel just to seal everything in and make sure all my actual brow hairs stay in place.


I found Jeffree Star's liquid lipsticks to work very well in achieve bright and bold eyebrows. The color does not smudge off, however be careful and watch any inital excess color on your brows. The color is long lasting, and will with stand a day of sweat. The issue I seemed to have was staining my skin. I guess because I wear color brows so often and because they are lipsticks they do tend to stain the skin. You will have to work extra hard removing or scrubbing off these brows!


Over all I would say YES to using Jeffree Star's liquid lipsticks on my brows. I personally love the colors he has to offer. I love how they don't smudge or rub off and last a long time. A great product over all.

Today's Look... Suicide Squad Inspired

For those who may not know I am super excited for the moive, Suicide Squad. Originally I was not planning on doing a look or blogging a look today. I was going to try and keep it pretty basic (minus the purple brows). Instead I decided to continue to adding and ended up creating this look. I want to say it is loosely Suicide Squad inspired simply because that was what came to mind when apply my purples and lime green.




Unfortunately my photos do not do the make-up real justice. (I am working on getting a better lighting set up soon.) My eyeliner and under neither my eyes had a beautiful green sparkle, as well as a fun purpple shimmer in my brows.

Today's Look... Day to Night

Today's look will be a little different then some of the other ones I have posted. Tying in with my last two blog posts I want to show how I would personally take a really quick, basic, off to work daytime look and turn it into something you could wear out in the evening. It really is as simple as adding some additional color and accents to your make up.

When it came to creating my evening looking I made sure to touch up the rest of my make up, even if it wasn't going to change. You always want your look to be completely polished. I usually choose to add a little more blush, contour and highlight for the evening as well. 

If you have any questions or comments please leave them in the box below. I hope this has been helpful and inspires some new ideas for your make up routine.

Today's Look...

Today's look is a great example of how one can achieve a more toned down look, but still have that bright pop of color. 

The fun thing about this look is that it can be dressed up as the day goes on. For example, you could always wear the more neutral top lid eyeshadow through out the day (going to work) and then leave the pink and purple eyeshadow for the evening. Simply add it when you do your touch up before going out for the night. You can also achieve this very easily by using diffrent lipstick shades. 

I would consider my look to be a pretty toned down version of what it could be. I personally would dress it up with a bighter lipshadow, maybe some more shadow if I was going out for the evening.

Today's Look... Current "Everyday/Work" Look

Today's look is all about those days when you don't really want to put in the effort to do a full face of make up or those days when you're running a little late. You're already rushed to get to work and there just isn't enough time.

This is what I do when I'm running late, or don't have enough bag space to bring all the make up I would usually wear. I try to cut some corners by not using any eyeshadow. To give my eye a bit of depth I just add my contour color into the crease of my eyes. I complete the "shadow" by highlighting my brow bone with my highlight color. I also tend to skip such steps as an eye primer. I simply lightly apply my foundation across my eyelid before apply any powders. I also don't usually apply my Nyx jumbo pencil in milk unless I have some extra time, mind you it is only a 5 second step. Same goes for my second foundation shade. I would only apply the lighter shade if I had time to do a liquid highlight. On the day I did this blog I did have the extra time.

Today's Look... Royal Lips

Today's look was inspired by wanting to do something different. It is rare that I wear lipstick out on a daily basis, let alone a dark, bold shade like blue, purple or black. I'm not saying that I won't or haven't worn those shades out. I just don't tend to on a regular basis, and because of that a lot of my blog looks don't always have bold lips. WELL... Not today. 

Today I decided to use MAC Cosmetics Matte Royal Blue, a dark deep shade of blue that will take any look to that next level. When I was done wearing my lipstick and removed it the lock I was wearing instantly toned down to create a whole new look. This is how simple it can be to differ or create a look for the day vs evening.

Nails... Dragon Scales, Mermaid Tails. Fairy Dust, Sparkly Nails

This month I chose to go with a some what more simply designed nail. With that said I am still in love with them. They remind me of dragon scales, no wait mermaids tails, no wait fairy dust, no wait... Theysparkly  and shiney nails are eye catching in any lighting. I love they way they sparkle and shine from any angle.

These nails were created by using a gel coat and them sticking the glitter peices to my nails by either dipping my nail into the glitter or tapping it onto the nail. She used a combanation of glitters. A super fine purple sparkle and some big chunky green glitter peices. The larger glitter has a duo chrome shine basically giving off multiple colors depending on the light and angle you are looking at it from. When you hold a few of these glitter pecies in your hand they actually look purple, so be careful when choosing a color. Looks can be deceiving. My nails were sealed and toped off with another gel coat to make them smooth and shiney.


As always my girl Lynn at Y2K nails in Brampton made these happen. She is fantastic and would recommend her to anyone, but especially those looking to try or do something new. These nails are super fun and really well done. They always last me at least 4 weeks. ( :( I know, I know. Get em filled.)

Next time we will be kickin it a little old school. I plan on getting some 3D art so make sure your looking out for that. If you have any questions or comments please leave them in the comment box below.

As always I am open to suggestion so If you have a specific idea or topic you would like to see written about please email me at warpaintsarah@gmail.com.

I am truly excited about 2016. I look forward to this year bringing lots of fun and adventure. Best wishes to you all.
