#100yearsofmakeupchallenge : 1940's

Hello, my beautiful readers. Today's post is a fun one. I have been really enjoying doing some makeup challenges lately on Facebook, and I get lots of questions about what products I've used, so I decided to show my readers the looks I'm creating, and give you a rundown of the products I'm using. My first post is for a look I created for the #100yearsofmakeupchallenge. This challenge, as it's name suggests spans 100 years of makeup. The challenge is to create a look from each decade from 1910's to 2000's. The look I created today was for the 1940's. I browsed tons of pictures on Google for 1940's makeup looks, and this is what I came up with.

From the pictures I found I saw a thinner arched brow, red full lips, a subtle eye, and a soft rosy cheek. I also recreated a fun 40's hairstyle I found. I love this look.Here's a list of the products I used and how I created this look.

• I started out as always with my favorite moisturizer. 
• Next I applied my primer with my fingers. For this I used Makeup Forever's Step 1 Skin Equalizer .
• Then I used a foundation brush to apply a mixture of 2 foundations. I love my Kat Von D Lock It Foundation , but the color I have, 46 light, is a little too light for me,so I added a little bit of a darker foundation to not be quite so pasty. I buffed in my foundation with a Short handled Kabuki brush by Andre Lorent
• I completely spaced using my concealer on this look, lol but usually I like Hard Candy's Glamoflauge heavy duty concealer. 
• To Set my foundation I used Ben Nye Neutral Set Colorless Powder
• For my brows I applied Anastasia Beverly Hills DipBrow in blonde, with an angled brush.
• For eyeshadow primer I used Urban Decay's Anti Aging Eyeshadow Primer Potion
• For my eyeshadow I started by applying, from browbone to lash line the shade "In the buff" from the Too Faced Boudoir Eyes Pallette.
• Then with a fluffy brush I applied the shade "force of nature" , from the Tartelette Pallette by Tarte to my crease, and a little above, because I have hooded eyes. From the same palette, I then applied the shade "wanderer" to my crease to deepen it. 
• I then went back to the Too Faced Pallette and applied a mixture of the shades, "sugar walls" and "satin sheets" to my lids. I also applied " satin sheets" to my brow bone and the inner corner of my eyes. 
• Next I curled my lashes. I like to do this before my liner, so I don't smudge it.
• Next I used my Jesse's Girl Liquid Eyeliner to line my upper last line and do a small wing. 
• Next I primed my lashes with DiorShow Maximized 3D Plumbing Lash Primer by Dior and followed that with Cover Girl So Lashy Blast Pro Mascara.

• On my cheeks I applied Lorac Color Source Blush in the shade technicolor.
• Then I applied Lorac Light Source Highlighter in the shade Starlight on top of my cheekbones, brow bone, corner of my eyes, and the tip of my nose.
• For my lips, I started with a Mac Lipliner in the shade Beet. On top of that I used Sephora Cream Lip Stain in shade 01 Always Red. 
• I finished the look with Urban Decay All Nighter Setting Spray.

I hope you enjoyed this 1940's look, and I hope you have fun recreating it. 

Stay tuned for my next decade look. 

Thanks for reading. 

Customizable Coffee Mug Review

I was lucky enough recently to try a custom made mug from 5family. They have many different designs that you can get printed onto mugs, sweatshirts, t-shirts,bags and more. The designs are easy to customize with your own name. I got a fun mug made that reads " To save time let's just assume Roberta is always right. It's done in a cute font and hearts.

 It's surrounded by a beautifully detailed floral design. The mug makes a perfect gift and you can put anyone's name on it to make it very personal. The mug is durable and perfect for your morning coffee or tea. It has a nice large comfortable handle.The saying is funny and the design is stunning. It's printed on both back and front of the mug. The printing is of great quality. I really love this mug. Buy it now!
