Madonna "Sorry" Video Look

If you haven't already known, I am a huge Madonna fan.  I love her style, her look, and how it's always changing.  One of my favorite albums is Confessions on a Dance Floor, and I saw the music video of her song “Sorry” and thought to do a tutorial!


There is a video version of this look on my channel!

This look is relatively simple, yet glamorous and flashy enough for the club.




Here's what you need!


All makeup is by MAC unless otherwise noted. 


Face


1.Studio Sculpt concealer in NW20
2.Studio Sculpt liquid foundation in NC25
3.Sheertone Blush in Tenderling
4.Mineralize Skinfinish in Soft and gentle


Eyes


1.Urban Decay Shadow Primer Potion (The original one, not the colored one they have out)
2.Shadow in Vapour
3.Shadow in White Frost
4.Shadow in Beautiful Iris
5.Fluidline Gel liner in Blacktrack
6.Plushlash mascara
7.Charcoal Brown eyeshadow 
8.Thick fake eyelashes (even better if they have glitter on the lashline like hers!)


Lips


1.Subculture lip liner
2.Lipglass in Prr


Let's begin!
Step 1
Prime, conceal, and apply foundation to face.


Step 2
Apply a light wash of blush under your cheekbones to contour the face, then dust Skinfinish over your cheekbones, bridge of your nose, forehead and chin for a touch of glow.


Step 3
Apply primer potion to your lids and let dry.


Step 4
Fill in the eyebrows with Charcoal Brown shadow, or whichever color suits you.


Step 5
On the inner half of your lids, apply beautiful iris shadow.


Step 6
On the middle to outer lid, apply vapour shadow, then blend away the line in the middle.  It should fade from darker to lighter on the way outward.


Step 7
Apply a dusting of white frost on the browbone for highlighting.


Step 8
Using a flat angled brush, apply fluidline liner creating a very slight cat eye.  Optional: You can also apply some glitter liner here.


Step 9


Curl and coat your lashes, upper and lower. Optional: Apply dramatic, thick false lashes.


Step 10


Line your lips with the Subculture.


Step 11


Apply Prr to the lips.




Finished!

That's all of the makeup... Next come the brushes!




13 of these babies... Here goes~! From left: MAC 129, 187, 195, 208, 214, 217, 219, 224, 227, 239, 242, 266, and 318 brushes.

Yes. MAC brushes are expensive. Especially if you only plan on using them once or twice and that's it. However, if you are a frequent makeup user, the quality of these outweighs the price. My 129 and 217 brushes are almost 2 years old and still look and perform like new (aside from the numbers on the sides coming off) and I do take very good care of them. I do wash them after almost every use (especially after using black eyeshadow because it STAINS if you leave it too long!) with MAC's brush cleaner. Face brushes (foundation/concealer/blush) I sometimes wash every 3-4 uses, since the colors of the products I use on them does not change or harden up on the bristles.

How I clean my babies up~ Use WARM, NOT HOT water and have the fibers facing downwards at all times! We don't want too much water seeping up into the handle. It will eventually warp the wood, rot the base of the fibers, and ruin your investment.

1. Rinse excess makeup out of the hair and squeeze out the excess water, leaving them more damp than wet. Be careful, unless it is a concealer brush or lip brush, it's probably made of natural hair and we don't want to damage this.

2. Squeeze a little bit of the brush cleaner into your palm, and one at a time (unless you have a few shadow pencils) swirl the fibers in the soap like you are brushing on your hand. Soon the soap will start to lather and you'll see the makeup just suck right out of the brush and into the soap. You do NOT need a lot!

3. Usually once should do it, but if your brush is REALLY dirty, go another round. You do not need to use any conditioners or disinfectants, the cleaner has antibacterial/moisturizing properties in it already and is fragrance free.

4. Rinse, rinse, RINSE!

5. Squeeze out the excess, but also take the time to make sure the hairs are reshaped back to their original form. Again, like the hair on your head, the natural fiber brushes will dry into whatever shape you leave them in.

6. Lay flat on their sides, a key point being to make sure the fibers and about 3/4 - 1 inch of the handle thereafter are over the edge of the table/desk/whatever you're drying them on. This reduces dry time, and makes sure no water remains in the base of the hairs. (Remember all that stuff I said about rotting/warping? That can happen from improperly drying them too.)

They usually do not take too long to dry. For the bigger brushes, sometimes they dry tightened up as I reshaped them. When they are dry, give them a quick brush against your arm, or your clean un-made up face. They will spring back into original position, ready to help you out again!


As I add more tools and products, I will update accordingly, worry not~!

Review of Urban Decay Eyeshadow Primer Potion

Hello~


Over the weekend, I bought a bottle of the legendary Urban Decay Primer Potion (for eye makeup). Today, I decided to give it a test drive. I knew I was going to be out and about all day, in humid/rainy weather, etc.

So I did my makeup after putting this on, and I must say it really DOES help the shadow stick better and keep a more intense color, hence using less shadow than normal! I used the Coastal Scents 88 color palette for the colors (without the primer, I have to use a lot of some of the lighter colors to get anything close to the look I want. With the primer, I used surprisingly little!) and MAC fluidline gel eyeliner. My eyes looked great, and I was ready to go.


After going out and braving the humidity and wind, I went home to discover that my eyeshadow looked pretty much exactly the same as it did when I first put it on!! No creasing, nothing rubbed off. ^_^


It also goes on very nicely too, and dries to a clear/nude finish. Urban Decay also makes this product in a color called Sin, which is a champagne gold color. I haven't tried this yet but it sounds interesting to have a pale gold undertone to makeup.

More reviews and looks coming soon! Check back regularly!
