Jeffree Star Velour Liquid Lipstick Review - Androgyny and Leo

Hello Loves...

Hope you all are doing good. I am a big fan of matte lipsticks and the liquid lipsticks have really changed the game. Liquid lipsticks are now available in almost all the brands. Recently, I purchased Jeffree Star Velour Liquid Lipsticks in the shades Androgyny and Leo. So, sharing my thoughts on those with you guys in this post.

Packaging



I am in love with its packaging. The bottle comes in a pink cardboard packaging with golden stars on it. A beautiful, girly color. Inside that packaging, comes a glass bottle/tube which is transparent and its cap is again the beautiful pink color with golden stars on it as you can see in the pictures above. Its wand is broad which I really like as it helps in applying the product in one go.

My Thoughts On Jeffree Star Velour Liquid Lipsticks

Let's talk about the colors first. Leo is a brown color which will look amazing on Indian skin tone.




Androgyny is a purple-pink kinda color as you can see in the pictures below.



The texture of these lipsticks is very smooth. I feel as if I am applying water on my lips, it is that light. Then, it settles down to be matte in a few seconds. It feels a little sticky for a few minutes but after that it is all good on lips. It is light weight but still you feel that something is on your lips. I don't know how but it makes my lips look fuller which I love about it. May be because of these particular colors or what but I am loving this effect. The colors are so pigmented that it just takes one slide of the wand and you are good to go. These are quite transfer-proof and stays on the lips for a very long time. I am so much in love with these liquid lipsticks that I am planning to buy some more colors now. These are my current favorite.

   
   PROS
  • Gorgeous packaging
  • Light weight
  • Highly pigmented
  • Broad wand helps in applying the color in one go
  • Makes lips fuller
  • Long lasting
  • Quite transfer-proof
  • Beautiful colors for Indian skin tone

Overall View
Jeffree Star Velour Liquid Lipsticks have become my current favorite. I would definitely suggest you guys to have it. You will love it. These are just amazing.

Wedding Guest Look

Hey Everyone...

In this post, I am sharing the look which you can wear as a guest on a wedding. A lot of my friends recently got married and this post is specially for them. I kept the eye makeup not so complicated. Hope you all like this makeup look.

Procedure

Step 1 - Clinique Dramatically Different Moisturizing Lotion


Step 2 - MAC Studio Finish Concealer in NW35 as a corrector under the eyes and around lips.


Step 3 - Born This Way Foundation in Warm Beige. Click here for the review




Step 4 - NARS Radiant Creamy Concealer in Ginger for highlighting.




Step 5 - E.L.F Loose Powder in Corrective Yellow for baking. I placed it on the areas where I applied the concealer and kept it there for 10 minutes. 



Step 6 - Maybelline Master Brow Pro Palette in Deep Brown




Step 7 - Urban Decay Naked Palette




In Step 1, I applied the shade Naked all over my eye lids as well as crease area and blended it well.
In Step 2, I applied the shade Buck on my inner and outer corners of eyes and blended it well, even on the crease area.
In Step 3, I put the shade Half Baked in the center of my eye lids and merged the sides with the Buck eye shadow. I applied it on inner corners of my eyes also.
In Step 4, I made a winged line on my eyes using Maybelline The Colossal Liner.
In Step 5, I first applied the shade Naked on my lower lash line, followed by the shade Buck.
Completed the eye look by applying NYX Wonder Pencil in the shade Medium on my water line and Too Faced Better Than Sex Mascara on my upper and lower lash line.  

Step 8 - Kat Von D Shade and Light Contour Palette

Used the first shade from bottom


Step 9 - NYX Baked Blush in Pink Fetish


Step 10 - For powder highlight, I used the shade Satin Sheets from Too Faced Chocolate Bon Bon Palette.

Step 11 - MAC Girl About Town Lipstick

Step 12 - MAC Prep plus Prime Fix plus to set the makeup.

And with this, the look is complete. I kept the eye makeup simple as sometimes we don't get enough time to do complicated eye looks. 







I hope this look is useful for you all. Let me know in the comment section below. See you all in my next post.
