Sisterly Love

Merry Christmas and Happy New Year!!!


This Christmas all the ladies in my life got Benefit makeup!! And on Christmas day we decided to play with it…

Paige – baby #3 – 22 years old


Paige was nice enough to let me take a before shot with no makeup:















…not that she needs it though!!!!

My goal was to show her some new techniques I learned at work just to enhance her look by evening out her skin tone and adding some glow!




















I love the colours! This is what we used (unless otherwise said all products by Benefit):


Face:

Dear John Moisturizer

Boi-ing concealer in #2
Lemonaid upper eye concealer
Some kind of gorgeous foundation in light
Get even face powder in #2
Ooh la life eye de-puffer/brightener


Eyes:

Brow-zings eye brow filler in medium

Fancy pansy velvet eye shadow all over lids
High curtain show off glitter dust across the upper lid

High-brow eye pencil highlight

Eye brights eye pencil in inner corners

Black fluidline eye liner by MAC, smudged with a bit of fancy pansy eyeshadow

Bad gal Blue mascara



Cheeks:

Sugarbomb box-o-powder
High beam highlighter


Lips:

California Kissing smile brightening lip shine

I really liked the outcome and hope she did too! It's very different from her usual dark smokey look.



Abbey – baby #4 – 15 years old


She said she would kill me if I posted her before shot, even though like Paige does not need to wear barely any makeup!


















For Abbey's look, she asked me to try out a smokey look, something she never does (mainly because she's only 15). Her incredibly long and thick eye lashes are truly amazing, and totally opposite of Kaytee and I.


Here is what we used:

Face:

Boi-ing eye concealer in #2

Bluff dust and your bluffing redness powder and concealer
Some kind of gorgeous foundation in light

Eyes:

High-brow highlighter

Eye brights highlighter

White tie eye shadow by MAC

Valet eye shadow by MAC in outer corner of eyes

Embark eye shadow by MAC in crease

Black fluidline eye liner by MAC

Black mascara

Cheeks:

Sugarbomb box-o-powder

High beam highlight

Lips:

A nude lipstick by MAC and life on the a list lip gloss by benefit


I really like the look on her but only for special occasions!


By the time I was done with abbey dinner was ready…..so we will have to stay tuned for a look for KT


Here is a pic of all of us at our Christmas dinner, so grown up!
