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!

This is las weeks challenge. I’ve been using the face palette all week (even if you can’t see it because of the face mask 😅) and the Sephora palette as a push liner

this is the only look I manage to take a pic of because this week and last week have been intense and not very nice 

here in the eyes I’m using hindash beautopsy palette and bperfect x Stacie Marie liquid shadow in venom along with the palettes in the pics 

[Sunnysmom]

You make it look so easy @idanyd ! Perfect as always. 

[idanyd]

Thank you so much 😊! @Sunnysmom 

[lmaster]

Really pretty!! @idanyd 

[idanyd]

Thank you so much 😊!!! @lmaster 

[itsfi]

Your eye look is golden @idanyd! 😍 And pretty as ever. I've eyed that Physicians Formula palette and have had it in and out of my cart a couple of times. All the powders look like you could get some good use out of them. Did you use a few of the products or just stick with one last week?

[idanyd]

Thank you so much 😊!!! @itsfi it’s mostly bronzers which are good quality not their best it’s ok; newer palettes are in my opinion better 

[Mellmars1185]

@idanyd Beautiful eyes! Sometimes these mask make our eyes thr focal point! Eyes are powerful!

[idanyd]

Thank you so much 😊!!! @Mellmars1185 

[heavyhedon]

Pretty and golden @idanyd 

[idanyd]

Thank you so much 😊!! @heavyhedon  It’s great to see you! I missed you! 

[heavyhedon]

🤗 @idanyd 

[Titian06]

Your eyes look great, @idanyd ! 😍  I've not heard of Physician's Formula.  That palette looks nice!

[idanyd]

Thank you so much 😊! @Titian06  This one is a bit old and it’s ok palette; I think their newer ones are better

[AMK721]

@idanyd  you always such amazing eye looks.  That Physician's Formula face palette looks very interesting. I need to know more, do you like it? Is it all bronzers?

[idanyd]

Thank you so much 😊!! @AMK721  It is supposed to be two bronzers; two high liters; a powder and a blush. However for my skintone it works like 4 bronzer products a blush which is very very very light and the powder which does kinda whiten the face. I am using it to try and pan it. If you see it untouched at the store one of the highlights (top middle row) will look lighter, but this is due to an overspray 

if you like your bronzers this is for you

So, I kind of picked this NARS Ignited palette as my palette of the week, along with the Charlotte Tilbury GlamGlow fave palette. But then I basically wore only the neutral shades on eyes since this week was so hectic, but I guess I’ll post anyway. 

NARS Wanted palette still surpasses Ignited but I love these palettes as a great all in one. I wanted to use Ignited since I am not sure I had ever used it in more than a year!

Yesterday, I used a shimmer for highlight and it was lovely and glittery and gorgeous, though the pics below don’t do it justice. 

Ugh, can’t post pics from iPad anymore, will try from my phone! Is this happening to anyone else? 

 

 

 

[Sunnysmom]

You def captured the glow so well @sister13 and it’s all just beautifully coordinated. Love it on you!

[lmaster]

@sister13 a beautiful looking natural glow!! 

[sister13]

Thanks @lmaster ! PS - I got your PM, but can’t reply or message you for some reason, I’ve been trying for days! 💕💕💕

[lmaster]

@sister13 no worries!! Even though that's a major pain on your end! 😐 Hope you can use some of the suggestions, I also liked maybe adding a color to the challenge week. Like for instance, the week of valentines day could be shimmer/glitter week or a look using red , the next week could be bold liner looks or a look with the color pink. Just a fun added color challenge for those that have a hard time with the main challenge of the week, either way you know I'm in 😊
