Paging Makeup Sifu Addie!

kolSo, I went a little crazy after work today! I bought a ton of Aromaleigh samples yesterday night, but I was super excited about testing out makeup again, and made the mistake of walking by Sephora. And... um...
LOOT! Click for larger!
LUSH: Emotibomb, sample of Celestial, and a Honey Trap lip balm
VS: Blush Lip Gloss and an Eyeshadow Primer
Sephora: Water proof mascara and make up remover and tweezers.
CVS: Gel eyeliner, an eyeshadow pallet, mineral cover up make up (which is a shade too dark, I think, but evened out my REALLY REALLY RED under lip and cheeks pretty well, considering both are pretty raw!)
And two pairs of work pants at Old Navy that were on sale. Plus a starbucks X3.
And now, pictures of me with makeup X0.
Disclaimer: I did not have real eyeshadow brushes. I had to make do with the one that came in my christmas VS kit from like, three years ago. The eyeshadow would have come out better if I did have nicer brushes, but I'm happy with how it turned. Also, I used a shimmer-off white from that pallet and an old Pout lavender for the look. Tomorrow, I will not be using the lavender as it looked weird, but I was too far through to start over XD. I used pretty much everything I bought today for the look *__*.
Also my hair is weird because it was a couple hours after work XD.

Behold! I gave up on the left eye (looking at the picture, the right eye) because I wanted to chat with Angie and Sage more than I wanted to try practicing, so please don't view that eye as a good example of my eyeliner abilities X3. It was really hard putting the stupid gel eyeliner in-- it came in a pot, and the brush was angled funny, so working with the left eye took a lot of patience. Must learn how to apply eyeliner with left hand so I don't have this problem. Huzzah functional ambidexterity!
And a rare shot with the hair down!
Beyond make up? I had a pretty good day. After I woke up I went twenty whole minutes before a coughing fit! I was pretty congested at work, but once I got more liquids in me I was feeling pretty good :D. Unfortunately my sinuses are leaking again, so it is a good thing I bought more tissues <3.

Ahem. The cover up IS a shade too dark, but you're right about it evening you out. You can try blending down your neck and lightly going over your ears as well to try and even it out further with your natural skin tone. :)
Eeeee I am excited for makeups XD
