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!

Updated the challenge (AGAIN) for the next few months! 

Week 26 (May 1-7): Spring flower inspired (cherry blossoms, daffodils, lilacs, etc)

I missed the updated list (oops!) so I went and did Singles Week this week and managed to actually take pictures of all my looks. My singles often go underused and this was a great way to remind myself why I love them. I could use another week like this tbh.

Monday: started of with a pop for Valentine's Day using CP Slave2Pink and topped it with  Kaima Cosmetics flakie. I wish I'd left my waterline simple but I liked it regardless.

Tuesday:  CP Fooling Around  with Stila Diamond Dust Glitter and Glow as liner

Spoiler

Wednesday: MJ Topaz Flash See-quins with just some highlighter in the inner corner. Such a unique shade!

Spoiler

 

Thursday: looking a little worn in since I forgot to take a picture in the morning but I'm wearing Westman Atelier Eye Pod Eyeshadow Singles Tabac and VB Chiffon.

 Friday: Charlotte Tilbury Eyes To Mesmerize Cream Eyeshadow Amber Gold with Roen Disco Eye

 Today I wore CP As If with CP Cosmic Charge and some more Tabac to blend

[makeitup305]

@Ispend2much6 thank you! I love shades with texture.

@makeitup305, a week of gorgeous looks! The pink and reds look great on you! I can't wear bright pinks or reds on my lids; you wear them so beautifully! That pink look on Monday - whoa! It makes your eyes pop in the most pretty way! 💗

[makeitup305]

thanks @itsfi ! I was obsessed with hot pink / magenta when I was younger lol it was my go to color for clothes. I liked how the looks turned out, although there was quite a bit of staining 😛
