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!

Wow, you look great, @Saradestin ! 😍  I love your lipstick! ❤💄💋

[Saradestin]

Thank you @Titian06 !! this is such a beautiful lipstick, I love it! 

[hopmie]

It's the most crazy function, I had ever seen, nice.

[sister13]

This is the NARS Extreme Effects palette for yesterday’s Smokey eye. I dearly love NARS eyeshadows palettes! Rainy and eventually snowy day in Colorado, so there’s an action shot, too, in my paddington bear jacket.

@sister13 love those Mario lippies!! 

[makeitup305]

It's so pretty! @sister13 I think that Nars has really stepped up their shadow game over the last year or two. I love the holiday palettes from last year and this one is gorgeous on you. What a pretty glossy lip,too.

[sister13]

Thanks! Yes, NARS palettes are my cryptonite! I had actually skipped this one but then it showed up at TJ Maxx and I’m so glad! The lip is that MAKEUP BY MARIO MoistureGlow™ Plumping Lip Serum Plum Glow its really tingly and my favorite type of shade. @makeitup305

@sister13  Love this!  I was shocked to hear about your snow!  But secretly jealous.

[sister13]

Yes, it was lovely, though sadly everyone lost a lot of tree limbs since it was so heavy and the trees had just all leafed out! @Ispend2much6 Awe can always use the moisture!

[Saradestin]

Such a beautiful palette @sister13 ! You created a gorgeous look with it. You look stunning! 😍 It seem so weird to hear about snow from here, where the heat and humidity are starting to be almost unbearable! 🥵

[sister13]

Thank you! Yes, it was crazy since it was 92 degrees the day before, but welcome moisture and cool temps before the summer hits. We were just saying we think it’s going to be a hot summer since it had been so warm lately! @Saradestin 

[Titian06]

You look lovely, @sister13 , rain jacket or not! 🥰🌧☂️💧

[sister13]

Thanks @Titian06 ! 

[Skunk12puzzola]

@sister13 pretty 🤍 do you put a jacket on the curious kitty too when it's raining outside?? 😂🐾💖

[sister13]

Haha, she doesn’t go outside, but the pup does have a rain jacket, only I never remember to pull it out! @Skunk12puzzola 

[makeitup305]

Quick and simple warm smokey look with ND. Much easier than yesterday lol. Lips are NARS Audacious Lipstick Jane and messy hair is courtesy of the crazy wind today.

[lmaster]

@makeitup305 ohhhh gorgeous!!!

[makeitup305]

Thanks @lmaster !

[Ispend2much6]

@makeitup305  I hadn't ever seen Jane before, but it suits you well!

[makeitup305]

thanks @Ispend2much6 ! I haven't pulled it out in a while and remembered once again why I love the Nars Audacious line.

[Saradestin]

Yay!! These are my colors @makeitup305 !! So beautiful! 😍😍
