Rihanna"Whose that Chick" Inspired Makeup

(This look was inspired by Rihanna's Music Video "Whose That Chick", If you would like for me to explain in detail how i recreated the look comment below.)

Graftobian Hi-Def Glamour Creme Super Palette

(Right: Warm Palette,Left:Neutral Palette)

 

 

 

If you are a Profess. MUA such as myself and are looking for a compact foundation palette. You will not be disappointed with this. When i first started pursuing my makeup artistry i didnt have alot of money to go out and buy all the possible shades of foundation to match everyones skin tone. I did alot of research on google and even youtube .This is what i came across along with Ben Nye's creme foundation palette(which was my first foundation palette). Graftobian ,hands down has one of the absolute best foundation palettes ever! Smooth,Creamy,Very blendable,and True to skin tone. Even if you need to custom blend a foundation,you can do it with these.It is AMAZING!!!!!!!!! Eventhough the squares are quite small (the squares are about the size of a quarter)  A LITTLE GOES A LONG WAY!  I can not stress that enough. There are 3 foundation palettes total which are Cool,Neutral ,and Warm. I have the warm and neutral one, as seen above. When and if you happen to run out of a specific shade you can purchase it in a full size.Which is wonderful. These are also HD so when taking pictures and filming ,these will really show up flawlessly. The coverage of these shades are from my opinion , medium-full coverage depending on how you apply it. The good thing is you have the ability to sheer them out if need be.

Many of you may ask "Which palette is best to start out with?" Honestly to answer that question i started out with the "Warm" palette. I had no problems with matching skin tones because i was able to customize the colors i needed even though the warm palette is for yellow/red undertones.
I'll say if your skeptical about that go with the "Neutral" palette because it has a mixture of both cool and warm tones.

**Prices range from $65.00 USD - $75.00 USD

MAC's Haute&Naughty Too Black Lash Mascara

I ABSOLUTELY! cannot rave enough about this product! This a two in one mascara. As you can see in the picture the first brush is thick,which will give off a very dramatic and full lash look. While the second lash wand ,which is slim and less thick will give you a natural look. I use this mascara in all my "GET THE LOOK" step by step posts. I have nothing negative to say about this product . Its a little bit on the pricey side some would say. Its $20.00 USD. If you are a pro member like myself you can get this product for $12.00 USD. No matter the price this product is well worth it!

MAC's New Empty Palette

 

OKK!!! so initially when i was in MAC making my palette i was very excited at the new look. Not to say that im not any more, but while there were things i liked ,there also were are a couple of things i didnt like. Pros: (Not Many)  * Way more sturdy than older palette.
*SEE THROUGH!! This was the main thing i was excited about!
*The Lid is magnetic!

Cons:(More Than Pros)

*Not Slim! (as you see in the first picture ) it seems to take up more room than the older palette.
*No Longer Magnetic as far as placing the eyeshadows in it.
*Have to pay seperately for the palette insert, the tray where you place the eyeshadows in.
*Total cost of both the insert($9.00 USD) and empty palette($18.00 USD) is $27.00 USD
(not including tax)

SIDENOTE*** I do believe they still sell the older palette ,as i still see it on the site and it is listed as sold out! So im not sure if they will discontinue or not! KEEP IN MIND! this is only my opinion, as everyone elses and yours may differ!

ABOUT ME

 

 

Let me Formerly introduce myself. My Name is Leanna. Im an Freelance Makeup Artist. It is truely my passion and im continuing to grow and learn as i further my success.

Im Here to bring you product reviews, how to looks, show my work and most importantly learn and teach others. I Eventually want to work myself up to making a youtube channel, so hopefully that should be coming soon!

A Little bit about me....... I decided to get into makeup because i had a deep passion for it. I remember being younger and going to my bestfriend's fashion shows watching the makeup artists do her makeup because she was a model. I loved it! i dont know what drew me to it but whatever it was it always has stuck with me. In the beginning of my "new found" passion i was afraid to really get into and pursue it because i felt like it wasnt a "real" career. It took a few years to finally convince myself that if you love it and enjoy it ,than pursue it! you cant put any price on what you love to do!.Eventually, my cousin who is in the acting/entertainment buisness informed me that there is always money to be made in the beauty buisness if your willing to put yourself out there. She encouraged me to go to a makeup class in NYC hosted and taught by the infamous Celebrity Mua Danessa Myricks. That class has changed my whole entire perspective, and since 2009 i have been pursuing my dream and i would'nt change it for the world!!!!
