Tim Burton series (collaboration with Petite Sal) | Alice in Wonderland

Last makeup from the series (sad face). This week's theme is Alice in Wonderland and I knew that I want to do either Queen of Hearts or Cheshire Cat. I was searching for a little inspiration on the wonderful wide web and decided to do Queen of Hearts. This time I wanted not to recreate the actual character, but to interpret it in my own way.

So, why I did both eyes differently? I did right eye first, if I wouldn't like it I could start all over and it's easier to remove makeup just from one eye, but when I finished right eye, I thought it would be fun to do left eye differently. Why not? :)

NYX blush Taupe - perfect contouring blush

I was searching for a perfect contouring shade for a while now, because I realized I cannot live without contour and it's perfect way to make face more defined and give myself some cheekbones. Bronzers are too orangey and it's hard to find one without shimmer. Until I discovered NYX powder, I had been using regular pressed powder, which worked, but it has orange undertones and my face shadows are definitely not orange.

I placed my order for this NYX blush in Taupe before my surgery (Nov 9th) on eBay, and I got it this week. It was sent from USA, so didn't expect to come soon. It was around 7 € with shipping.

If you look at the blush it has slight sheen to it, but it's still matte enough to be a perfect contouring shade. I apply it underneath my cheekbones, my jaw line and on my forehead. You can contour your nose with it or even apply it as an eyeshadow (in your crease).

Blush is buildable and I think it's suitable for all skin types. It's brown shade with grey undertones.

It comes in black plastic packaging, it's nothing special really, but you have to be careful, one of my NYX blushes fell on the floor and broke into one billion pieces (on the first day I got it).

If you want a perfect contouring blush, I suggest you get this one! And try other NYX blushes too, I love them.

Do you contour your face? What do you use for contouring?
(I will do a tutorial how to contour, no worries :))
