With that being said, my look today is based on the New York Giants. I'm sorry if you hate them, they're just who I picked because I'm from New York (although technically New York is part of New England, so I win even if the Patriots win). But the Giants colors are blue, white, and red. So I went with that!
My inspiration!
My look!
 |
| See how red my hair is? Whoops. That would be choosing the wrong color dye! |
What I used:
TFSI
NYX JEP "Milk"
Inglot DS 496 (white)
NYX "Black" shadow
Glamour Doll Eyes "Mingles" (blue)
Sugarpill's "Love +" (red) with a bit of a deeper red from my 88 palette added in
MAC Blacktrack fluidline
L'oreal Voluminous Carbon Black mascara
Halloween lashes
Calypso Minerals "Red Glitter" mixed into NYX Candy Glitter liner in "Silver" along inner part of bottom lashline
I think adding a red lip would take this look to the next level, I just have to go out so I don't feel comfortable wearing a red lip.
I also wanted to show you the Glamour Doll Eyes color I used for this look today. It's called "Mingles" and it's a stunning royal blue color that's almost an exact dupe for my beloved Calypso Minerals "True Blue."
*Edit* I know this color is beautiful but I just found out that Calypso Minerals has been taking people's money and not sending them the products they've ordered. So please don't order from them! I'm so sorry!*

| "Mingles" is on the left and "True Blue" is on the right |
They're both completely matte and absolutely gorgeous. I think True Blue is just slightly brighter but they're VERY similar. "Mingles" is $6 from Glamour Doll Eyes and "True Blue" is $7 from Calypso Minerals so there's not a huge price difference. You can't go wrong with either one!
I hope you guys like the look I came up with! If you rock crazy makeup for the superbowl, you'll have to post it somewhere and leave me a link because I'd love to see it! Thank you guys so much!!
This could be for the Patriots (GO PATS!) or the Giants, really. And I love that you chose Mingles - I ordered that one too and I was hoping it would be this fantastic!
ReplyDeleteHaha, you're gonna love Mingles! Can't wait to see what you do with it! I did know their colors were the same, but I just think of more navy blue when I think of the Patriots.
DeleteYou nailed that look! I was just about to say I need Mingles, but then you said it was a dupe for Calypso Minerals True Blue and I got soooo happy! That's another shadow I don't have to spend money on since I already have a similar color(thanks to you ^.^)
ReplyDeleteHaha I'm such a nerd and ordered that one because I was interested to see how close in color it was to True Blue. When I love a color, I want to own every single version of it out there haha. It's an illness I tell ya!
DeleteSO FING GORGEOUS. as always. What did you use to apply the eyeshadow in this look? I usually use my finger, but I bought some loose mineral powder from BFTE the other day, and it balds easily and falls all over my face if I apply it with my finger... just wondering what your suggestions are! :)
ReplyDeleteHonestly I use 3 brushes to apply my shadow (most of the time, there are exceptions to this). They're all from Target. I have a smudge brush from Studio Tools ($2.50) that I use for whatever color I use on my lid (ESPECIALLY if it's a loose pigment), then I use Sonia Kashuk's fluffy blending brush for my crease and above, and then a Sonia Kashuk flat shadow brush (one that doesn't have a lot of give to it) for my highlight color. I can imagine how tough it would be to do a look using your fingers with the BFTE shadows haha!
Deleteahhh this is sooo fun and absoultely beautiful; you did an awesome job at seaming the two color without making them look muddy or out of place. LOVE IT, Sonja!
ReplyDeleteThank you so much Ronnie!
Deletelol this looks so patriotic haha
ReplyDeleteI know right haha. This is totally a 4th of July look!
DeleteLove the colors go giants yay!!

I was excited that I chose the right team to do a look on haha!
DeleteIt would work for both teams, their both blue, red, and white :)
ReplyDeleteIt definitely could! I think if I were going for a Patriot's look, I probably would have done something primarily navy blue, just when I think of the Patriots navy blue jerseys pop into my head haha.
DeleteAwesome!!! This look could work for 4th of July too!!!
ReplyDeleteAMAZING!!!!!!
