Eeek!! I can't wait for Thanksgiving tomorrow!! It is my favorite holiday of the year and it kicks off the holiday festivities for our family. Have you started shopping yet? I have made a few purchases on Amazon, but I have not yet trekked out in the crowds. Right now I'm busy planning for our Elf on a Shelf's visit. Does that stress anyone out as much as it does me? I think it's fun, and I love that Caleb looks forward to him moving each morning, but I am afraid of him "forgetting" to move. If you get what I am saying.
Anyways, you didn't come here to listen to my fears of the Elf on a Shelf....let's talk some makeup. Do you know what I cam across last week and was instantly thinking Thanksgiving makeup?
First up you want to take the yellow color number 2 and run it through your crease. Then (I used the same brush, but you can use a different) I took the light brown color number 5 and put it through the crease, but I kept it slightly below the yellow color. So you will have a bit of the yellow peeking out above the light brown above. This mixing of colors is partially what gives the pumpkin color you see.
Next I used color number 3 to deepen the outer V and blend over a bit. I also went back in with the yellow and blended it out a bit because I felt I lost some of the yellow color.
On a flat brush I used color number 4 and patted it all over my lid and then on the opposite side of the flat brush I tapped into the yellow color 2 and patted it on top of the color 4. This gives a slightly more lighter color of yellow with the mixing of the two, and I didn't want it to look identical to the crease color, just a bit lighter.
I put some dark brown pencil liner in my lower water line, then I used a mix of color 2 and 5 on a pencil brush and used it all to blend the pencil liner out on my lower lash line. Then I used the white shade number 1 on brow bone as my highlight. Mascara top and bottom and the eye look is complete.
For my lips I used my Hard Candy Lip Cashmere in Biscotti and for my cheeks I used the Elf Peach Perfection cream blush to complete my look.
I thought this look came out really well and I was extremely happy with the results. I am wearing a deep mustard yellow sweater for Thanksgiving tomorrow so this will be the makeup look I will also be wearing.
What about you? Do you do festive makeup looks to correspond with the holidays? How about correlating makeup with your clothes? I actually bought the yellow sweater to go along with my eye makeup....there's a little fun fact about me for you, I buy clothes according to the makeup look I am going for. :)
Well, that's all I have for today, I hope you enjoyed. I have been busy with school recently trying to finish up and get ready for my semester exam but hopefully that will be over with soon and I can get back to regular posting. I miss it for sure, but priorities right now are my school work. But I hope you all have a beautiful and safe Thanksgiving, and I will talk to you all again soon.
Until next time, take care.
