Beware of the Lipstick Bandits.

| 61 Responses

I am a member of the Lipstick Bandits.  We obsess over lipstick, and convince you that yes, you do need another red lipstick because this one is a blue red, while that one is a tomato red.  Or this one is a matte, and that one is a cream.  You get the point.

Because we are a band of beauty bloggers, naturally we make a pact with a face of the day.  Here’s mine.

Products I Used

Eyes

MAC Blacktrack Fluidline.  Apply a ridiculous amount as a mask, and line eyes to create a feline shape… mrrreow!
L’Oreal Black Voluminous Million Lashes Mascara.  Generously run through top and bottom lashes.
shu uemura tutu laceflare False Eyelashes*.  Because it’s fun to make your eyes feel like ballerinas.
Illamasqua Alchemy Precision Ink Liner.  Outline the mask with this fine glitter liner.  Because it’s not a Glitter Geek mask without glitter!
Marcelle Pure Gold Lux Diamond Liquid Eyeliner*.  Add a chunkier glitter on top of Alchemy for high shine and sparkle.

Skin

FACE atelier 6 Honey mixed with Zero Plus Ultra Foundation.  Nothing says badass bandit like a flawless base.
Marcelle Translucent Medium Face Powder*.  Set with loose powder patted on with a brush.

Lips

FACE atelier Revenge Lipstick.  Apply a dark red around the edges of the lips and feather / blend inwards.
Vasanti USA Soft Finish Matte Lipstick.   Apply a true red in the middle of the lips for an ombré effect.

More Pictures!

Who am I kidding?

Hope you enjoyed the look. :)  I had a lot of fun creating it and feeling slightly creepy while wearing this makeup.  Don’t forget to visit my fellow lipstick bandits’ amaaaazing creations:

    That is awesome! Love the lashes.

    • http://www.glittergeek.ca Arianne

      They are so much fun Gio. :) I like how they’re half lashes, too. So much easier to wear.

    xD <3 Zoolander reference.

    What an amazing ombre red lip! Never thought of doing something like that.

    • http://www.glittergeek.ca Arianne

      Hahhaha *nerd*

      The ombre lip is something I learned watching one of Pixiwoo’s videos. I don’t have small lips, but for someone who does, it’ll really make their lips appear bigger. :)

  • http://makeupmorsels.wordpress.com Makeup Morsels

    Gorgeous FOTD! The lashes are too awesome, and I love your intense-stare pictures xD You’d probably be the Bandit that never gets caught.

  • http://makeupkismet.blogspot.com Ashley

    Those false lashes – AMAZING!
    Also.. there’s Blue Steel but what about Magnum!?

    • http://www.glittergeek.ca Arianne

      Magnum is still in the process of being perfected at the moment. ;)

  • http://beautyreductionista.blogspot.com/ Liz (Beauty Reductionista)

    AHHHHHHHHHHHH, I LOVE THE LASH TUTUS! :D Great job, Arianne!!!

    You guys all look incredible! I love how creative everyone is. I just posted on Morsel’s page that you all need to get together for Halloween. LOL

    • http://www.glittergeek.ca Arianne

      OMG that would be hilarious if we were in a Halloween party together. I would die!!!

  • http://www.myfunnyvalentineblog.com Jen W

    LOVE the ombre lips and the lipstick bandit mask is perfection!

    Those falsies are gorgeous too!

    • http://www.glittergeek.ca Arianne
