Good evening loves!!

  Today I have a makeup post for you guys... Mainly because I have no nails ready to go just yet. I'm drowning in Fall nail polish collections and trying my hardest to get trough them as quickly as possible. So, this past weekend I got to attend The Makeup Show in Orlando, as many of you guys may already know, if you follow me on Instagam (@L_T_H_P). I always take these shows as an opportunity to really go kind of crazy(er) with my makeup, because no one judges you there, in fact it is embraced. I live in "small town Fl" and here ppl look at me as if I ate babies for breakfast because I am different....and awesome.. lol.
 I was super excited to finally get a chance to play with my Sugarpill Elektrocutes neon, sparkly pigments. I also got a chance to play with my Cold Chemistry palette, which I got a few weeks back and just had not had a chance to play with it.
 I also listened to you guys on my last #EOTD post and I am (with much trepidation) sharing full face pictures on this post as well. A lot of you beauties suggested that I show how the eye makeup worked with the whole face look so.. yeah :D.... Granted they are IG shots, but... baby steps :D. 


 To find out what I used for these looks and see some full face shots just continue reading ♥. 

  All of these looks feature Sugarpill eye shadows. From their ChromaLust pigments, to their new ElektroCute neons pigments. I also feature the Cold Chemistry Palette in this post.

Violet,Bright and Fun



- Prep: Urban Decay Anti-Aging primer potion. NYX Jumbo Pencil in Milk concentrated on the lid area. 

- Browbone: A mix of Tako and Lumi. 

- Transitional shade: 2am and a bit of Flamepoint towards the inner corner. 

- Crease: Decora and Dollipop layered.  

- Lid: Love Buzz (neon Pink), Hysteric (shimmering Purple), Hellatronic (Neon Blue) 

- Crease: Decora and Dollipop layered. Darkened at the outer edges with Poison Plum, which I also blended over my lid shades. 

- Lower Lashline: Inner corner: Lumi and Taki, middle Dollipop and Poison Plum. The whole outer V  of my eye (top and bottom) is done in Hellatronic and a bit of Velocity to darken it a bit. 

-Waterline and Tightline in Urban Decay Perversion glide on pencil. 

- Cateye: Nars eye-pain in Black. Inner corner point I did with the Jesse's girl waterproof liner pen. This was only my Third time trying out the inner corner. I really love the look, though clearly I've not mastered it quite yet hee hee. That will not stop me from practicing though. 

- Mascara: Ellis Faas Black Mascara

- Brows: Milani Shadow Eyez in Espresso Line set with Senna brow gel. 

I am wearing circle lenses from Pinky Paradise. These are the Vassen Lollipop series in Violet. I must say I just love them. They really give that "anime" dolly look to the eye... and they match my hair :D  

Here are some full face shots of this look. I forget what I was wearing on my lips. I want to say it was NYX Matte lippy in Shocking Pink. I got told on FB that I looked kinda like a drag queen (not the first time it's happened, won't be the last. I wear loud, obnoxious makeup... it makes me happy and I'm not hurting anyone)... Which I guess must have meant I was looking FABULOUS lololol. BTW, I make lots of faces haha. And yes, I am aware my features are androgynous. It's all good. 



Neon Peacock?

- Prep: Urban Decay Anti-Aging primer potion. NYX Jumbo Pencil in Milk concentrated on the lid area. 

- Browbone: Paperdoll mixed with Tako. 

- Transitional shade: 2am very softly blended out. 

- Crease: Paperdoll with a bit of Poison Plum layered over it. 

- Lid: Hi-Viz ( neon Yellow), Sparkage (neon Green), Darling was placed on the entire outer corner of my eye and then slightly blended up into my crease. 

- Lower Lashline: mimics the lid area with Hi-Viz, Sparkage and Darling. This look was my next attempt at the inner corner and I was a bit happier with this one. 

- Waterline and Tightline: Urban Decay Perversion glide on pencil. 

- Cateye: Nars eye paint in Black. For the inner corner I used my Jesse's Girl pen for better control. 

- Mascara: Ellis Faas Mascara in Black and Benefit Bad Gal Lashes layered over to give a falsies effect. 

  For this look I am wearing circle lenses from Pinky Paradise. These are the Geo X-tra Bella in Blue and these are some of my faves in my little circle lens stash. 

 Here is a full shot of this face. I didn't really manage to get a good shot of this one because I was in a rush this day. Look! There's even a Mr. LTHP photobomb. I want to say I was wearing a Revlon Balm Stain on my pout... I just cannot remember which one haha. 

Dark and Moody

Disclaimer: This photo was taken after this makeup had been on for about 12 hours or so o.O

 I went really dramatic with this look, but I absolutely loved it! This look features shades from the Cold Chemistry Palette.

- Browbone: Tako mixed with a bit of Diamond Eyes.

- Lower lashline: Inner corner- Diamond Eyes. The rest of my lower lash line was done with Subterranean.

 Here is my full face shot for this look. This pic was taken at around 10:00-ish PM, after a very long and exciting day at The Makeup Show Orlando. I am just beyond impressed at how well the vibrancy and shimmer held through the day. I also had zero fallout of shimmer or creasing of my shadow. On my lips was Revlon Balm Stain in Smitten. 

 I hope you guys enjoyed these looks. I know they are very bright, and kind of really out there for a lot of people.. But let me tell you, they were just SO much fun to work on! This kind of makeup makes me happiest. Sometimes I look crazy, and that is ok. That is how I learn what works best on me, and what techniques work best for me. Like everything, it is a definite learning process. 

 I really encourage you guys to have fun with your makeup. On days when I feel really sick and the world looks bleak... I play with makeup, I practically play "dress up"... like a little girl :D. Sometimes dealing with what I deal with can leave a girl feeling pretty damn bad about herself, and one has to find ways to cope, right? Mine is to dress up, paint my nails and face and go around like Purple hair is the norm. Oh, I also have this crazy blog thing I do ;). You guys seriously don't know how much your feedback and interactions mean to me... I refuse to look on the outside as bad as I feel on the inside. I love that with makeup I can, in way, hide what is wrong with me (health wise) and feel like a normal, fierce girl. When I am in my crazy colorful, and even "dragtacular" faces I'm not "sick Cris", I'm "Cris the Colorful".... and I'd rather go by that ANY day :D. Sorry for getting a bit off topic there. I just really wanted to vent I guess... 

 I really appreciate you guys stopping by today!!
