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!

@haleyvvvv I'd never heard if that brand until you mentioned it. That palette is gorgeous.  I'm definitely signing up for their restock!

[haleyvvvv]

Oh yay, @makeitup305!! For some reason I thought you had one of their palettes, or I would have recommended when you were discussing palettes versus Clionadh singles. 

[Mellmars1185]

@haleyvvvv Beautiful shimmering eye. It goes really well with the dewy, glowing skin and the rosey lips!

[haleyvvvv]

Thank you so much, @Mellmars1185!! 💖💛💖

[Mellmars1185]

@makeitup305 Beautiful pretty pink and peachy eyes

[makeitup305]

thank you @Mellmars1185 !

[haleyvvvv]

Stunning looks, @makeitup305!! 💖🌟✨ 

Those Kaima flakes really are so pretty!! 

[makeitup305]

@haleyvvvv they're so messy but so fun! 

[heavyhedon]

@makeitup305 -- I can just about tell in the pic on the right that there's a hint of green, but even without that, stellar look! The second look is also lovely and shimmery and fresh. 

[makeitup305]

thank you! @heavyhedon  the shift was beautiful but so hard to capture.

[idanyd]

Beautiful! @makeitup305 

[makeitup305]

thanks @idanyd !

[AznAngelLiz]

@makeitup305 Just wow...I'm speechless at your looks. I love your face!!! LOL

[makeitup305]

aww thank you so much @AznAngelLiz !

[danielledanielle]

Gorgeous 🥰 @makeitup305 

[makeitup305]

thank you @danielledanielle 😁

[sister13]

These are both really stunning! I love that metallic foil shine on the top look, and then that soft sunset shimmer on the bottom one. And your hair looks amazing! @makeitup305 

[makeitup305]

@sister13 thank you! the bottom one was pretty sparkly in person as well but the day was so gloomy I couldn't get it to pop. The smooth hair is curtesy of the Drybar The Brush Crush Heated Straightening Brush , which I just picked up.

[Ispend2much6]

@makeitup305   Pretty!  I'll use your looks for inspiration as I have two of those palettes.
