Well it's been a minute since the last MakeupMonday! Let me re-reintroduce my weekly contribution in showcasing SL makeup... read about it here.
Perfect timing on my part since we have the Cosmetic Fair 2013! I visited this morning and went a little crazy. There are some fantastic exclusive items made specifically for this event.
Today's look is all about Action Cosmetics. Everything at their booth at Cosmetic Fair is brand new! I started with Anais in September from Glance Skins. For a base, I chose a combo lip/lash/eyeshadow layer from [mock] cosmetics. These all-in-ones are lifesavers since we only get five tattoo layers (ugh, that needs to change!). Over that I wore the new Action Mesh Dolly Lashes in Brunette. The set comes with Red, Brunette, and Black lashes. I'm very picky about mesh lashes and have several but only use one or two. These have been bumped up to the top of the list!
Finally, over the existing lipcolor that comes on the all-in-one layer, I added the new Action Shine Liptint in Hollow. Each liptint comes with a teeth version, too. This color is divine and I can't wait to go back to get more.
Cosmetic Fair 2013 starts today and goes until the 30th of April. If you make any collages such as this, please feel free to add it to the MakeupMonday group and tag me so I can see your lovely creations.

Glam Affair had a set of three Roza skins at The Gallery Gift Shop a while back. Each one came with either pink, blue, or green brows. The pack was called "I'm Crazy" and I thought that was just too cute.
I adore the bright blue lid on the skin but for this week I was going for ALL pink. Using a glittery [mock] cosmetics eyeshadow, it covered the blue lid completely. For a very subtle lighter lid, I added a powder pink eyeliner from (love)cosmetics (store no longer available unfortunately)
These crazy big dramatic lashes were found years ago on the marketplace; they're still there for $50L. The Sugar Garden makes some of my favorite lips with teeth; they are SO glossy and I appreciate how realistic the mouth opening and teeth look from a side angle.
How I got this look:
-------------------------
Skin___ Glam Affair Roza in Natural - I'm Crazy/Pink
Eyes___ Mayfly - Liquid Light Mesh Eye in Deep Honey Hazel
Eyeshadow___ [mock] cosmetics Glitter Pop eShadow in Pinkasplosion

For my 31st MakeupMonday (wow, 31?!) I decided to focus on the mouth. I had been playing around with different prim teeth and alphas and found a combination I really like. But first, I needed a good base that would create depth in the center of the lips.
Starting off with one of my favorite liptints by Action, I layered a pouty gloss from Dead Apples on top of it. The Medley prim teeth were the first set I ever purchased, but I also love the Dead Apples teeth and alpha set. I wish I had tried mixing them before because I'm really pleased with the result!
A little more eyeshadow, my favorite mesh alpha lashes, a dollarbie blush, and my never-leave-home-without-them undereye enhancers finish off the look.
Hay nena esa boquita es lo que me mata
Cada beso que me das me llega al alma
Hay nena esa boquita de color manzana
Es la dueña de mi amor y de mis ganas
Cada madrugada yo me pierdo en lo sensual
de tu boca azucarada

With the use of a combo-layer I was able to really transform the baked-on, smokey, sultry makeup on this Opal version of League's Aria skin in Walnut. If you guys follow my MakeupMondays, you know how invaluable I find these. Until we get more, five layers is all we have to work with so these full-face makeups in one are essential.
Glamorize makes insanely affordable all-in-ones, some for as low as 1L! I picked up this set (that's 3 color combos in one pack) at the last round of the Cosmetic Fair. The lip color complements the rich skin tone and the eyeshadow brightens up the whole eye area. Adding not one but two layers of blush helps add a little more dimension to the face.
I'm still wearing my favorite open-mouth mash-up of Medley's Prim Teef with Dead Apple's Mouth Alpha. I think it helps make my avi's face a bit more expressive.

Nadirah has such a beautiful, unique face that I thought a lot of my makeup wouldn't work with her. I'm pleased that I was wrong. For this look, since I was wearing all white, I wanted statement makeup, something with deep colors for both eyes and lip.
The #adored eyeshadows give you that cut-crease look and don't hide the existing lid shape of the skin. .Pekka. has two versions of their under eyeliner in metallic shades and version 2 has richer colors. Right now I'm really into deep blues and purples.
Them lips, though! I picked up the set of #adored Domme Lips at a Genre event a while back because you just don't find anything really like them on the grid. They're deeply saturated and glossy and pouty. And no, that's not a typo; the color really is Plurple (plum + purple).
I really like that Chandra put just the right amount of contour on this skin's cheeks so I didn't need a blush layer. Instead I added the beauty marks by mijn.boutique. I like that they're not too big or obvious, plus I appreciate all four marks are on one layer.
My Mon Cheri "Falsies" are my absolute favorite, never-take-them-off lashes. No more clumpy, pixelated lashes, thankyouverymuch!

*sighs* Look at Aria. She's my favorite skin. She's the perfect canvas (even with the smoky eyes) for today's makeup palette.
I'm really into bright lids right now so I was almost giddy when I saw the Blacklace Beauty eyeshadows. Totally saturated pops of color in ten different combinations and the shape is perfect. A new-to-me brand called Lovely Disarray has a set of eyeliners that, for me, were a must-have; each is so different from the next and I appreciate the variety.
Finally, my favorite item of this haul is the Glamorize lips. You just can't beat the price for a set of 20 glosses. Look at that glinty effect! Does anyone else get this excited when a lip tattoo fits so well?
I forgot to take off my mesh lashes for the "bare" look (sorry!) but after using the HUD to move, shape, and resize the Divina Lashes by Gaeline Cosmetics I just might not remove them at all.

For today's MakeupMonday look, I'm once again featuring a Leafy Sapphire skin. This is a group gift currently at the main store. It has a fantastic light smokey eye shadow with a hint of turquoise and highlighting on the inner eye-corner.
Since it covers a part of the eyes, Magika's latest hairstyle just begs to frame a skin with this kind of makeup and sexy lips. This was my focus today, so I modded the Koketka lashes to fit on the inner half of the eye only, added a couple of eyeliners, and a glossy lip layer with teeth. I'm thrilled with how well the Glamorize lips fit this skin!
Here's what I used in the second pic:

I'm really hoping to get back on track here with my MakeupMondays. Inspiration came with help thanks to the Cosmetic Fair. This round/season is just magnificent!
Going for a less conventional look, I knew the Abstract makeup from White Widow would frame these gorgeous eyes from The Skinnery perfectly. On top of that I layered a smokey shadow from #adored, which are my new favorites. I'm slowly becoming a collector of blushes, since we are seeing a lot of contouring/sculpting/highlighting cheek and face enhancers out there. Here I'm wearing the Bronzer by {Dead Apples} to warm up my face in all the right spots.
Finally, a pretty, opaque, and shiny lipcolor from MONS. All these items I've mentioned here are at the current round of the Cosmetic Fair. You have only 2 days left before the Fair comes to an end on Oct 30th, so go buy up all the pretties if you haven't already!
I'm wearing:

While searching for a more "me" skin, I found Deesses Inna. Although it's inspired by a Romanian pop-star of the same name, I felt it gave me that Latina and Asian look I had been after. I adore the beauty mark by the mouth and the natural brow but most of all I love the skin tone! This is Inna in Natural (aka no makeup) in Milky Coffee.
As you can probably see, Inna comes with eyelashes already baked on the lids. I prefer skins without this feature but I do appreciate that they are a natural, soft brown and not in stark contrast with the skin. Inna works extremely well with all kinds of eyeshadows I have tried. Here I am wearing a smoky grey shadow by Chandelle. It doesn't even need an eyeliner on top of it, just a pair of my favorite prim lashes by LAQ.
Inna also has a nice, warm blush so adding the (love) cosmetics Deep Blush was just to enhance it with a rosy color. One of my favorite tricks is to combine two sheer layers of lip gloss. I opted for a Crema Lipcolor from [mock] cosmetics on top of which I added a Pekka lip balm in a similar shade.
Products I used for this look are:
-----------------------------------------------------------------
Eyeshadow by Chandelle - Jeni in Black
Lashes by LAQ - Flirty Lashes
Blush by (love) cosmetics - Deep Blush
Lips (first layer) by [mock] cosmetics - Crema Lipcolor in Va Va Violet
Lips (second layer) by Pekka - Hydra Lip Balm #5
Curio is, was, and always will be one of my absolute favorite skins. I never had to second guess purchasing a "megapack" (all makeups in all tones)... and I miss the brand terribly. This is Pout in Pure 2 in the tone Acorn Dark.
Without any makeup it's pretty much perfect, even with the baked on lashes. You really don't need anything else on a bare Curio skin. But whether you want to change a skin slightly or dramatically, there are so many fantastic products out there.
How I got this look:
-------------------------

Has anyone else noticed that this will be the third time I've combined blue with yellow and red? Is that weird? It's just one of my favorite color combos so you'll have to forgive me yet again ;)
The Sea Hole had a moving sale and I went a little nuts. Not sure I can put into words how much I love that store and have since the first few days my avi rezzed (over 3 years ago). Luckily I can show my devotion in $Ls. When some items are as low as $L50, like this Shiarra Tank, Lichtenstein Skirt and even these aaaahdorable Flossy Wedges, it's not hard to express it!
Update: looks like the sale is still ON! go go go!
PS - looove when mesh pieces fit SO well together... this Darla Blazer from e! Eclectic Apparel didn't cut into the skirt. It's the little things, guys, that make me a happy avi.

As you guys may have noticed... I absofreakinlutely LOVED Culture Shock 2012 (which is still going on until the 26th of May)! Did you guys know that the event has already raised over one million lindens for Médecins Sans Frontières? AND they reached that goal a whole day earlier than last year. It makes me feel good knowing lots of my linden$ went to a great cause (see www.chic-management.com/?page_id=1231 for more info)
So it was only fitting that for this week's color challenge I wear items from CS. I literally stumbled into the Ricielli store and saw these too cute mesh shorts and mesh top, which are designed to be worn together. They both come in lots of different colors (tops) and prints (shorts).
On to the deets (and thanks, Luna, for making next week's color "Lemon Chiffon"... now I'm craving cake!)

This week I wanted to showcase a couple more items from the Cosmetic Fair. I tried a new-to-me brand because I loved how shiny and wet their glosses looked. Unfortunately they didn't fit my mouth shape but I came up with a quick solution for it.
As a first layer, I'm wearing lips for the Anais Skin by Glance in the same color as the outer liner of the gloss. On top of that I added the Paperbag Wet Lips in Pluck Me. The gloss blends in since it's a similar shade of pink and we end up with a cool gradient effect. It gives the illusion of a more pouty mouth, too. Win, win, win!
You guys might remember how much I love under-eye liners. .Pekka. released their new Metallic Under Eyeliner set for Cosmetic Fair. They're wonderfully saturated and come in 14 colors. I'm wearing Turquoise.
The final touch was some chunky, spiky lashes by [glow] studio.
Still have a few more looks I want to create with items from Cosmetic Fair. Remember it ends April 30th.
