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!

So beautiful @sister13 ! Today we both went for an icy look! 😁 You look gorgeous! 

[sister13]

Yes we did! And thank you so much @Saradestin !! 

[Saradestin]

My smoky eye today is the same than yesterday, that I couldn’t take a picture. I used PAT McGRATH LABS Mothership I Eyeshadow Palette - Subliminal These PMG palettes are all great for this week’s challenge! 

[lmaster]

@Saradestin your eye look, is dreamy!!

[Saradestin]

@lmaster Thank you sweetie! Even if I am not into cool tones, I have to admit that love the way this look came out. It is impossible to go wrong with PMG shadows! 

[Titian06]

Wow, these colors look great on you, @Saradestin ! 😍  No weirdness here! 🤣  In fact, I think it complements your black hair--that was what I first noticed, how pulled together you look. 😎

[Saradestin]

Wow @Titian06 !! Thank you so much gorgeous!! 🤗🤗🤗😘😘😘

[Skunk12puzzola]

@Saradestin I'm glad you took the picture, stunning human 💖💖💖

[Saradestin]

@Skunk12puzzola I has to repeat the make up look to take the picture the day after, and I dint like to repeat looks 😅. Thank you for your always beautiful and supportive words, your are so sweet! 😘😘😘

[Ispend2much6]

@Saradestin  I love it!  Not weird with your coloring at all.

[Saradestin]

Thank you so much @Ispend2much6 !! 😘😘

[makeitup305]

Gorgeous! I love the blue with the pink, it brightens it up!

[Saradestin]

Thank you, sweet @makeitup305 ! 😘😘

[sister13]

Beautiful, cool look on you! @Saradestin 

[Saradestin]

Thank you so much @sister13 gorgeous! I am not that into cool tones because they look weird with my yellow skin undertone but they are so beautiful that I can’t resist! 

[sister13]

Agree with @Titian06, it looks great on you!! 

[makeitup305]

bolder smokey look today using ND Triochrome (bday gift to myself) and Adept Cosmetics x Heather Austin. I started with a bold lip (@Ispend2much6 this is NYX Bloom with a tinted lip balm on top) but it felt like too much for daytime so I wiped it off and just put a L'Oreal Balm Gloss over the stain left behind. The shift in the lid shade is STUNNING and it depends on the light, I couldn't catch all the shifts despite my best efforts- gray-ish, rose gold, pink, green,

[lmaster]

@makeitup305 these pinky shades are gorgeous!!

[heavyhedon]

Love the smokin' rosy look, and the lip is PERFECTION @makeitup305 

[makeitup305]

thanks so much @heavyhedon !

[Saradestin]

@makeitup305 Such a gorgeous look! That eyeshadow palette is so beautiful and it looks amazing on you. And I can definitely see the color shift but I am sure that it is much more impressive in person, because cameras always struggle to catch the best of eyeshadows! 😍😍
