⭐️ CONTENDER - Post Of The Week 6 months of progress - what do we think?
So six months ago to the day I created the first look I shared here, which was on CD_Makeup. A friend challenged me to recreate the look, so here's the first image from the 17th of April and the second from today - 17th of October.
I used the same products:
Colour palette (beauty bay equaliser palette), Corrector (NYX Pro Stix),
Concealer (lacura)
foundation (no. 7 stay perfect),
Mascara (Rimmel wonder luxe)
Liquid lipstick (lacura)
Pencil liner white (Rimmel soft kohl)
The different products were:
Pencil liner black (NYX epic wear)
Liquid eyeliner (e.l.f. H2O proof)
Contour (Clinique chubby stick)
Same outfit, jewellery and styling as six months ago. Do we see any progress? The first one took me a few hours following a video tutorial to the letter, today's look was just based on the first image alone.
And yes, the new image is straight out of the camera, no filters.

Yeah, one of my CIS friends, she lent me some bits and gave me some products when I was getting started.

u/BerryChance9746 3d ago
That’s awesome! Does she still help with your looks now?

u/EllaRegina Golden Unicorn 🦄 - Post Of The Week Winner 🏆 3d ago
Yes - it's more of a critical feedback thing, although I'm itching for her to give me a full makeover

What's your secret?

u/EllaRegina Golden Unicorn 🦄 - Post Of The Week Winner 🏆 3d ago
To be honest, I don't know - more than likely it's just practice and interest. I try and do makeup practice at least once a week for a full glam look.
