12 Days of Christmas- Day 3

Ok, lets just jump right into it....


Day 3 of 12...I'm singing in the annual Philly Pops Christmas concert at the Kimmel Center with St. Thomas Gospel Choir (s/o to them!), so my African attire was berry purple and gold. Since I loved the white gold shadow by Black Radiance I used in the previous post, I decided to pair that on the eyes with a bronzey gold and browns from the Lorac Pro palette. The pro palette is probably my fave palette this yr...you can't go wrong with neutrals.

My foundation is Black Opal's Creme Stick foundations in Heavenly Honey and Truly Topaz of course....Love this stuff. However, it does give me a yellowy look on camera. Nevertheless, I promise it matches perfectly in person...It has an SPF of 15 I think, so that's possibly why it appears a lil off in some lighting. Plus, I just have bad lighting period lol  


These pix are all up close and personal...a lil too close for comfort at times lol....but as an artist, I feel its best to show the details of your work.... flaws and all....Although I do use it to fill in these huge pores, Photoshop paints too many perceptions of "flawlessness" that most of us cannot and DO NOT live up too... no matter how much makeup we use. We have to learn to be comfortable in our own skin....LOVE ME! HUGE PORES AND ALL! LOL ok enough of the preachin'... 


 Wet n Wild's Vamp It Up is probably my favorite lipstick of all time. It's a really deep purple that looks gorg on most complexions. I paired it with a Navy Blue liner, and popped the white gold shadow in the center...turned out cute...think I may wear this lippie more often lol


Alright....by now y'all can tell that I'm having too much fun with this....and don't you dare judge my messy background lol
See ya later on
