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.

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.

As always below is a list of all the products that I used as well as more picture of this look.

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.
