FOTD inspired by Makeup by Mario

It's been a while since my last FOTD so I decided to do one for today. One of my favorite make up artist is Mario Dedivanovic. He does make up for tons of stars like Kim Kardashian, Adriene Bailon and a whole lot more. I really love how he puts on make up for his clients. What I noticed about all his looks is that he creates a perfect base making the face look uber flawless. He doesn't use so much products also, but he stil manages to accentuate the best features of a person's face.

My inspiration for this look was Kim Kardashian's Birthday Look. I didn't have the exact products Mario used for her face but I tried nonetheless using the products I do have. Here's my interpretation:


Pics taken using SLR with Flash

Pics taken using Photobooth (no flash)


I just realized I look so different with the flash and with the photos taken from the Photobooth. Most probably because with the Photobooth, you can't really distinguish my hair color and my contacts aren't seen hehe. Oh well, here's what I used to achieve the look:


FACE
Cinema Secrets Foundation in 62
MAX Factor Translucent Powder to set
Nichido Blush in Peach Glow
Smashbox Fusion soft lights in Baked Starburst
MAC Iridescent powder in Belightful

EYES
Cinema Secrets Concealer palette in Kit #2
Light Gold from 120 Color Palette for lids and brow bone
Copper Bronze from 120 Color Palette for Crease
Avon eye liner
Estee Lauder Sumptuous Mascara
Brown eye shadow from 28 Neutral Palette

LIPS
01 Nude Lip Liner from Ever Bilena
NYX Circe lipstick
MAC Oyster Girl Lipglass

BRUSHES
All brushes used are from the Dashe 30pc Set! Yayyy finally tried them! :)

I really love reading Mario's blog checking out his latest works. I wish to be his client one day! He's awesome! hehe

Who are your favorite make up artsts?


Toodles! :)

Dashe Cosmetics 30pc Brush Set

Okay, I just can't wait to post this. When I got home today/tonight/this morning (it was already 12mn) lol, I was so happy to see a package waiting for me! By the way before I could get inside the house, me, my sister and the house helps were locked outside, we had to get a stick to get the key haha long story. So given that you could imagine the relief once I stepped foot inside the house, better yet to see a package waiting for me yes? :)

Anyway Me and Maui had ordered one set of Dashe Cosmetics 30pc brush set each to use for school. Even though we both had tons of brushes those are all personal, we decided to get one for school and future clients. Because I'm so excited about it, I just can't wait to share it with everyone!!

Here are pics of the set:

Comes in a leather case


When open


Each brush actually came in its individual plastic, but I took it out because, let's be real, I'm gonna end up losing some of the plastic in a couple of days and I just don't want to go through the "it looks so nice since its new nobody touch it and keep it in the plastic" phase. If i let that happen then I'll never get to test them hahaha!

Closer Look


Each brush has Dashe Cosmetics printed on them with a cute crown design



Looking at all the brushes is really over whelming since there are 30 of them. And as much as I want to try them all, they need a bath first. Haha But off hand, this blending brush was an eye catcher for me, so dense I can't wait to use it:


Yayyy to my new brush set for school! :) I totally love it. I Promise to do an in depth review on the brushes included in this set. But first, I have to go to wash them and uhh get ready for bed. School starts later!

Oh btw, I saw some commarts friends earlier in greenbelt, Lace and Adie to be exact. Just wanted to thank them for reading my blog, it's good to know I have non bloggers who read my blog hehe! And yes Lace I will blogsale soon! :) Promise to put on make up for you guys soon! Thanks soo much!! Mwahhsss



Toodles! :)
