DailyBuzz Style 9x9: Day to Night Look

So I’ve been selected for this month’s Dailybuzz Style 9x9 challenge! The challenge is to create an easy and simple day to night look. I have the perfect eyeshadow palette for this, and the perfect color scheme — lilac. I’ve been so inspired by lilacs and lavenders. For my daytime look, I wanted to add some color to the face to give it some life — otherwise, I’ll look sleepy.

To start, I prepped my face. This means putting on my foundation, eyeshadow primer and lip conditioner. I used…

  • Urban Decay Primer Potion in Eden
  • Lioele Triple the Solution BB Cream
  • Jouer Lip Enhancer

I swear by these products! They are easy to fit in your makeup bag for touchups and pack a punch. If your lips are chapped or dry, put some of the Jouer lip conditioner on and when you are ready for your lipstick, your lips will feel super SOFT.

Now to add some pretty color to the eyes! Purple tones really complement brown eyes. I am using the Wet n Wild Color Icon in Petal Pusher. I love how versatile this product is. You can go from natural to dramatic in minutes. First I highlight my browbone to define the arch and brush on the eyeshadow all over.

Now for the mascara and blush. For the mascara, I am using M.A.C.’s Haute and Naughty, which is great for situations like this. It splits into two wands — one for basic application and one for a more dramatic look. Use the pink side for day and the purple glittery side for nighttime drama. The blush below is my everyday favorite. It is just the right amount of pink for my skintone to make it look rosy. I am using Sue Devitt Silky Blush in Vanuatu.

My favorite part is lipstick! I opted for a cheerful pink color that isn’t overbearing. I am using Bobbi Brown Lip Color in Pink (6).

So when your day is done, and it’s time to let loose. Simply add drama to the eyes and it makes the world of a difference! First, I defined my eyes with my Youngblood Gel Liner in Black Orchid. I’m keeping all my eye makeup in the purple to lavender category. Taking the same palette as earlier, shade in the crease area with the darker purple shadow on really make your eyes pop. If you want, you can shade in your eyebrow to frame your face better. Don’t forget to line your bottom lash line!

There you have it! A flirty day look that can be easier transformed into a sexy night look using the same palette and some of your regular makeup.

Youngblood Cosmetics: The Ultimate Mineral Make-Up

by Jaclyn

Recently, I was given an invitation to check out the Youngblood mineral cosmetics collection at The Plaza Hotel beauty department. I decided to take along my two sixteen year old cousins to test out some products and hopefully coax one of them into getting a make over!

The Youngblood line is different from other make-up lines because it is mineral based; milled into a fine powder which reflect light off the skin. I already use mineral foundation, but it doesn’t leave my skin feeling like the Youngblood line does. The products work great with all different types of skin tones, especially those with acne or rosacea. Recently I have been into organic beauty products and although I am not sure how natural the Youngblood line is, I love the fact that there are no synthetic ingredients, artificial fragrances, preservatives or talc. No animal testing either! Sounds good to me!

Youngblood’s mineral line is supposed to withstand heat, humidity, and perspiration. Go figure it was 105 degrees out in Manhattan, so there was no time like the present to take the make-up to the streets! Christina was my lucky make over candidate, so Youngblood’s expert put her in the chair and went to work.

Doesn’t she look gorgeous?! Looks so natural and her skin felt so soft. Just looking at the entire line, you can see that there are no harsh or dark colors. The collection is meant to give you an effortless look.

You can see how natural her make-up is compared to my mineral make-up (I’m in the middle) that clearly makes me look shiny, and not in a good way!

After our trip to the Youngblood’s make up station at The Plaza Hotel, we went for lunch and hit the shopping stores hard! Four hours later, we had enough and stopped to reflect on Christina’s Youngblood make over. The humidity and hot wind of Midtown did not do much to her skin. Her eye make up was still vibrant and her skin looked flawless. Bravo Youngblood; we were impressed!
