I decided to do my makeup for five days straight just as a little challenge for myself. The rules are that I can't use the same eyeshadow color twice or any lipstick color twice. Every day has to be a fresh new look regardless if I'm going to work or not. This is just something fun to do, and I would suggest doing this sometime in the year!
Day 1: Sunday Butterfly
OK, so I kinda went all out on this look. I had gotten some new makeup products and just wanted to have some fun while I had some down time before I had to do my homework for my Jan Term. I just did a very light foundation than what I usually wear. (One coat of foundation all over and no contouring). I put concealer under my eyes because I have very dark circles. I'm very bad at feeling out my eyebrows, but I used my Nyx eyebrow liner in the color jet black. To line the wings of the eye, I used Elf liquid liner in jet black and went back in and buffed some black eyeshadow from my Estee Lauder palette (not sure what the palette name is). I lined my top lip to be smaller than my normal lips just to have a little fun. On my lips I used the ultra matte lip from Colourpop Cosmetics in the color lychee. I did a product review on this specific color in my previous article. Again, this was just something fun to do in my spare time.
Day 2: Monday Brown Smokey Eye
This is pretty much what I would be considered my more natural look. I'm not really a natural girl, so this is kinda weird for me. The winged eyeliner is my signature look and just having really filled in eyebrows as well. I used Colourpop's Lippie Stix in the color raezor. It really compliments the brown smokey eye. Didn't do much contouring on this look. When I went out, I didn't feel like I had a cake on my face like I'm used to. I'm overall happy with this look!
Day 3: Tuesday Grunge
I went for a darker tone for this look. I parted my already black hair down the middle. I'm wearing absolutely no foundation whatsoever. No eye shadow either. I used a ton of eyeliner and liquid eyeliner. For my lips, I decided to wear my Dr. M color from Colourpop Cosmetics. This is closer to the style I look for. I am very fond of the stranger colors of makeup; Dr. M is no exception. I felt confident wearing this, and I think I look so cool!
Day 4: On Wednesdays, We Wear Pink
This look is a lot softer. I have on my cake makeup on. I put on a bit of contour and a ton of highlighter on the top of my cheeks. for the lips, I decided to go full on pink. I'm wearing Colourpop Cosmetics Ultra Matte Lip in the color 1st Base. The eye shadow is actually a white color mixed with grey from my Estee Lauder palette. I put on a ton of concealer under my eyes. This time, I had time to actually fill in my already thick eyebrows and bring them to an arch. Not a lot of people like my kind of eyebrows, buy hey, to each is own.
Day 5: Thursday Doll-like Fantasy
As my final creation, I decided to do everything different. For this look, I am wearing absolutely no foundation whatsoever. I dotted in my eyeliner to give it a more doll-like appearance and decided to put in the most dramatic blue garage door eye shadow ever! For the lips, again, I decided to use Colourpop Cosmetics in the color creeper. I lined my lips to be a little bit smaller than my natural lip line just to give it more of that semi-creepy doll affect.
Final Thoughts
Despite loving to do my makeup, it was kind of hard doing it every day. There are a lot of days where I am feeling my natural appearance or I just plain don't have time to do it. After the third day, putting on makeup just seemed like a chore. But overall, I think I actually did a good job. I'm no makeup guru, but when I want to fell on fleek, you best believe that I will paint a face!
I suggest anybody who is bored and has nothing to do for the weekend to just experiment with makeup. It's like a canvas. You can create anything you want! If you want to wear makeup, then do, and if you don't, then you don't. I probably will do this more in the future. Until then, I'm gonna keep wearing my weird shades of lipsticks and be on my way! Stay beautiful, people.
