Makeup Challenge of the Week 2021/2022

[sister13]

[UPDATED WITH NEW CHALLENGES ~ MAY & JUNE] 💗💗💗  So, I could definitely use some makeup inspiration these days and maybe you could too. Several years ago, we used to have some weekly makeup challenge threads, so I’m bringing one back. It’s a great way to spark some creativity and maybe most importantly, a great way to shop your stash!

I started with a list of some challenges below, but also happy to edit/rearrange/consider other ideas along the way. I hope you will join me!  Feel free to post as many or as few times you’d like each week with photos of your looks. If you don’t like to post your face, feel free to do a flatlay of the products you used to do your look. Also, if you get behind or ahead, feel free to post pics whenever you have time.

Can’t wait to see all your looks! Have fun!

Thank you so much 😊🥰! @sister13   It’s so cute but very small I would recommend getting it during a sale

The product is very nice and shades work together so nicely!! But it’s the same price as a normal tin palette but it’s size is very small

I went for a matte look today, which is a little out of my comfort zone, I’m usually all about that glow, glitter and shimmer - the more the better! 

But, I figured for this week I’d try something I saw on the Danessa Myricks IG, this is Danessa Myricks Beauty Colorfix Eye, Cheek & Lip Cream Pigment Chocolate 

Plus, my favorite MAC contour which is like almost the only powder product I’ve hit pan on ever, don’t mind it’s missing lid! 

I found this Natasha Denonaliquid lipstick when I was decluttering some things today, and this Chanel lipliner, which i have repurchased a few times, it’s like my perfect lip shade. I used a sample of the Natasha Denona Transformatte Pore Vanishing Matte Foundation so I am surprised to see some skin glow shine through, but maybe the setting spray was not that matte, even though it said it is matte. 

Anyway, i liked this eye look, though it looks a little deeper in real life. I was worried it wasn’t blending, but in the end, it did okay. I added the MUFE ultra HD powder on top of the eyeshadow since it seemed like it needed to be set (though maybe because I tend to have oily lids and had put on an emollient eye cream, and I didn’t prime.

@sister13 I would never guess this is out of your comfort zone, that smoky brown goodness deep on the lid is gorgeous, and wearing this look with a gray tee makes for a lovely autumn tonal vibe.    

[sister13]

Thanks @heavyhedon ! Maybe having tried it, now I’ll add it to my repertoire. 😍😍

[itsfi]

@sister13, this matte looks is beautiful on you! The DM chocolate cream pigment is a lovely, rich brown. Says the one with plenty of brown eyeshadows already 😆 But I don’t think I have a brown cream pigment like the DM. 😉 Making a note of the need to set the eyeshadow - I have oily lids as well. 

PS My Chanel lip liner is the only liner I’ve ever repurchased too! It’s definitely a love.

[sister13]

Thanks! Yes, it lasted pretty well actually through late into the evening, even with my hooded and oily eyelids, so that’s definitely got longevity! @itsfi 

[lmaster]

Beautiful beautiful look!! @sister13 

[sister13]

Thanks @lmaster! 💕😍💕
