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!

@Titian06  Ha same. Without a lighter teal transition it becomes a black eye.  

[makeitup305]

@Titian06 i can't seem to use blues without going full Cleopatra. I also don't think they suit me as well as greens do, maybe too cool toned for me. 

[Titian06]

I hear you, @makeitup305 @!  Blues are completely out for me too.  Such a shame since I love blue!  😞

[lmaster]

You're far too harsh on yourself @makeitup305 you look beautiful!!

[makeitup305]

Thanks @lmaster , you’re so sweet!

[sister13]

I am behind but here’s a look from the week with a few LE items!  

I have a blush from the Christopher Kane collab, which is also a winner. 
I need to get my Moschino bear eyeshadow palette out one day too. This gave a nice subtle contour and highlight. 
I also have a matching spray gold powder to the Guerlain holiday pearls somewhere. 
Givenchy Rose Perfecto Lip Balm 24H Hydration 
Natasha Denona Eyeshadow Palette 5 2 
Natasha Denona Eyeshadow Palette 5 - Aeris Joya #1

I love your look, @sister13 !  💖💖💖  I have the ND #2 palette and the Moschino teddy bear highlighter/contour duo.  Never thought to use them together.

[sister13]

Thank you! ND #2 is gorgeous, I’d kind of forgotten about it, but it had the right tones o wanted. The teddy bear is subtle but actually vey nice product. @Titian06

[makeitup305]

@sister13 LOVE your eye look. It has that wet look I love. You paired it perfectly with that blush and lip. 10/10
