NFL Teams Makeup Look: Pittsburgh Steelers

Time for a new series YAYYY! The National Football League (NFL) season has begun in the United States. I thought it would be really fun to display various looks based on the NFL team colors. To be fair to the teams representing the American Football Conference (AFC) and the National Football Conference (NFC) the looks will be based on the teams who have already won the Super Bowl Championship. I’m starting with the teams who have won the most championships and working my way backwards. To kick things off, with six Super Bowl Championships are the Pittsburgh Steelers. Their team colors are Black and Gold. Here we go Steelers here we go!

Warm Weather Beauty Must Haves (so far)

I started off using these products during the Spring and continued into the early part of Summer. It was easy for me to reach for items especially when I was pressed for time.

Warm Weather Must Haves

  • Juice Beauty Hydrating Mist
  • Flat Bronzer Brush – Crown Brush
  • Angled Eyeliner Brush and Spoolie – Crown Brush
  • Elizabeth Mott Smooth Shadow Pencil – Pearl
  • Lorac Oil-Free Wet/Dry Powder – WD5
  • Maybelline Face Studio Master Glaze – Plums Up
  • NYX Gel Liner and Smudger – Brown
  • MAC Lipstick – Heaux
  • Benefit they’re real! Mascara
  • Maybelline Color Sensational the Buffs Lipstick – Untainted Spice

Warm Weather Lipstick  I liked Heaux lipstick because it was a great way to brighten up my look especially when I didn’t wear a lot of makeup. Untainted Spice is easily a nice everyday lip color.

Warm Weather Face  The Lorac Oil-Free Wet/Dry powder was my go to foundation for when I was rushing in the morning. Depending on the type of coverage I applied dry for more sheer coverage. I applied wet for more coverage spraying the brush with the Juice Beauty Hydrating Mist. I also used the wet/dry makeup as a setting powder whenever I wore liquid foundation. The Flat Bronzer brush made it easy for me to apply the makeup.

Warm Weather Cheeks  The Maybelline Master Glaze blush gave me a nice natural glow. Color really looks great on darker skin tones.

Warm Weather Eyes  Benefit they’re real! Mascara gave me nice long full lashes without needing to wear false eyelashes. I used the Elizabeth Mott shadow pencil in Pearl on my water line to brighten up my eyes. The two of these made a nice combo.

Warm Weather Brows  The NYX Gel eyeliner was an affordable alternative to filling in my eyebrows. The color lasted all day too. I used the angled eyeliner/spoolie brush to fill in my eyebrows.

A Closer Look: RiRi Hearts MAC Summer Collection 2013 – Heaux Lipstick

MAC released the RiRi Hearts MAC Summer Collection June 18, 2013. The only thing I wanted from this collection was the lipstick in Heaux. This lipstick is described as a matte berry and retailed for $15.00. I previously purchased RiRi Woo from www.maccosmetics.com back in May.

MAC Haul from Nordstrom

I recently went to the MAC counter at Nordstrom to pick up a few things I needed.

Image

Pro Longwear Foundation in NC50, Eye Brows in Spiked, Mineralize Skinfinish Natural in Dark Deep, Lipstick in Impassioned

ImageI chose NC50 for the Pro Longwear Foundation because NW45 was too red on me. Using the Skinfinish Natural offers a nice balance so the NC50 doesn’t look too yellow when I’m wearing this foundation.

ImageThe MAC eyebrow pencil is my all time favorite brow pencil. I like the precision the skinny tip offers. Plus the pencil is self-sharpening. 

ImageSwatch of Spiked Eye Brow Pencil

ImageI also did some recycling at the MAC counter. I got this lipstick for free since I turned in six empty containers.

This is how all of the products looked on me. 🙂
