Brazil!

Hello everyone!

First I have to warn you, I don't know ANYTHING about football.
I did this following look, because I was asked to do Brazil look :D



I used Cocktail look book again, and here's the result:


Here's the colors I used, numbered:


And here's pic how they are applied:


Then the quick tutorial:


First apply Eyeshadow Base, and then apply Neon Green (1) over it:

Apply Madness (2) to crease and blend upwards, then add Snow (3) to highlight:

Then the tricky part:
Paint blue circle with eyeliner, I used Electric Blue Sea eye stain.
Then "secure" the eyeliner by using Andamon (4) over the liner. And finally draw the details with white liner:

Apply Neon Green (1) to lower outer lashline, and Madness (2) to inner corner:

Line your upper lashline and waterline with Sumi-e eye stain:

Just add mascara, and look is done!



Untill next week!

Love,

Captain Prime

AKA. what the most important thing in makeup.

Primer is used for preparing face for makeup, so makeup looks fresh longer, face primer smooths fine lines, and foundation goes on more smoothly and evenly, as does blush, eyeshadow, and many other cosmetic products.When applying foundation over primer, it often takes less foundation to get wanted result.
 
Eyeshadow primer stops eyeshadow from creasing, it makes blending easier, helps the shadows appear more vibrant, and keeps your look lasting all day.

MSCHIC offers several priming products, such as:

Face Canvas:


My Holy Grail in face makeup. I wouldn't do any makeup without this.
Only one drop is enough for the whole face, and evens out minor imperfections and produces a perfect base for makeup.


Eyeshadow Base:

This is a great product for everyone. Eyeshadow Base evens out the surface and colour of your eyelid, and because of it's light color it also makes eyeshadow colors really pop. It's also waterproof, so using this will also make your eyeshadows waterproof.
I'll show you a great pic of what difference eyeshadow primer makes:
MSCHIC Gloria eyeshadow, swatched the same amount of shadow over Eyeshadow Base (left) and without any base (right)

I guess the difference is quite clear :D


Eyes Cream:




These aren't originally meant to be primers, but especially Nougat is really great when used as base. It's almost skintoned, and all Eyes Creams apply smoothly and are waterproof.


And here's Captain part of the topic, inspired by comic hero Captain America:
  • MSCHIC Eyeshadow Base
  • MSCHIC Mineral Eyeshadow Super Silver
  • MSCHIC Mineral Eyeshadow Mineral Snow
  • MSCHIC Mineral Eyeshadow Hawaii Blue Shimmer
  • MSCHIC Electrics Electric Red
  • MSCHIC Electric Blue Sea Eye Stain
  • MSCHIC 3D Mascara
That's all folks!

Who's the lucky one?

Hello!


Summer is the time of love and weddings, so I wanted to make a neutral, but still classic look for a bride.

MSCHIC is currently holding an awesome contest for Finnish fans, where you can win makeup, hair and prizes for the whole bachelorette crew!
Just tell why YOU should win, send your argument to info@mschic.com, and you have a chance to win!

MSCHIC has also a own Look Book for brides, that holds almost everything you need for you special day's makeup:
 9 high pigment eyeshadows which have been chosen by the MSCHIC Pro make-up artists and 4 perfect blushes from Hilighter to light Bronzer.




Anyway, I made my bride look by using the following:

- Face Canvas primer
- Baked Mineral Foundation Medium

- Baked Mineral Blusher Fresh Glow
- Shading Powder
- Hattara and Virgin blushes from Pretty Chic look book

-  Brow powder Dark Blonde

- Eyeshadow Base

- Creamy
- White Gold
- Golden Sand
- Cognac Tryffle

- Hot Chocolate Eye Stain

- 3D Mascara

- Lipchic Bella
- SkunkKiss lipgloss

And here's the look:



Here's where we started, just Face Canvas added:

1. Apply Face Canvas to skin


2. Apply foundation (if your skin is in bad health, use ie. Easy Stick to problem areas before mineral foundation)


3. Draw brows.


4. Apply eyeshadow base, so that the makeup looks fresh whole day.

5. Apply Creamy eyeshadow to whole lid.

6. Add Cognac Truffle to crease lightly.


7. Add a hint of shimmer with Golden Sand


Here's how it should look now.

8. Line your eye with Hot Chocolate Eye Stain, blend soft with Cognac Tryffle.
If you want, you can add more color to the crease.


9. Add 3D mascara.


10. If you want, you can enhance your look with couple individual lashes.


Here's the look almost finished.


11. Finally apply the blush, shading and highlight and lipstick.








Congratulations to all brides of this summer!
