Nicki Minaj Moment 4 Life Official Makeup Look

Like I've said before, 
I loveeee Nicki.
Whenever I got Pink Friday,
I fell in love with Moment 4 Life.
So, of course I got excited about the video.
Which was amazing I'll add.
Especially the scene of her in the pink wig/green dress.
I thought she looked gorgeousssssss.
(When doesn't she?)
 So as soon as the video got over,
I ran into my makeup room to recreate.
Obviously I didn't get it up when I wanted too though.
Oh well!
I put a few of my own twists on it,
like the dramatic winged liner,
and the two pairs of lashes.
Other than that,
enjoy!
:)






Is this lipstick not amazing or what?

Back to Basics - Foundation/Concealer

Turns out I do NOT like that foundation.
On camera you can't really tell,
but it's terrible.
It could be just old,
(even though I just bought it)
or just a terrible product.
Whatever the case,
this is how I do my foundation and concealer!

Rimmel London Foundation Primer
Coastal Scents Camouflage Concealer

Back to Basics Series - Brows

I know my brows aren't the best,
but I loveee filling them in and shaping them.
Trust me, they REALLY make a look.
I also had the idea of a basic series,
like MissCaseyB.
It's gonna be a short series though,
foundation/concealer,
and brows.
I may extend it and do basic eyeshadow and etc.
Anyway,
hopefully my tips help you!
AND the "dramatic" brow looks darker in person.

*Please note I do NOT have any other makeup on,
so excuse my bad skin!*

Review:
I'm not the most perfect reviewer, as I don't do it much, but I'll give my word about Shiro Cosmetics.
I don't remember much about the shipping since it was around Christmas and such,
but I'm pretty sure it didn't take long.
You also get a tracking number,
a very important factor for me.
Website wise,
very easy to navigate through.
There's a sidebar to pick through samples, mini jars, full sized, and sets.
Everything is out in the open, which is good for people who don't want to look hard.
I messaged her and she practically answered right back.
(She's super sweet btw)
A+!
Packaging wise,
I like everything about the packaging besides the sifter.
I almost always take sifters out.
But they're convenient for people who do like them.
Just a personal preference.
Actually I think you can ask to not have them put on,
but I'm not sure so don't quote me!
Each one has a stick with individual ingredients, names, and whether it's lip safe or not.
A+!
Product wise,
The BIG Shabang!
Unlike a lot of other mineral eyeshadows, the product somewhat sticks together.
So it's more of a creamy texture rather than just a loose powder.
Rattata especially.
In the pictures I swatched dry.
(other than 1 labeled Rattata picture)
They would be extra intense because of that.
Also, I think they'd wear longer on the eye.
At least it seemed like it when I recorded a tutorial.
Obviously the bolder/intense colors last longer and are more pigmented,
that's just expected.
The lighter, shimmery, ones take some packing on if you want them to pop.
(You could also try putting a white base underneath)
But it's a good thing!
It's easier if you just want a hint of color for example.
So my verdict is an....
A!
I'm def not an expert on reviewing,
but I tried to give you details of my thoughts.
So I hope this helps!
