New England Patriots Inspired Makeup


It's that time of year again: Super Bowl time!
This year we have the Patriots and Eagles.
I am not a diehard fan of either team, so the outcome of the game won't shatter my world, but I still plan to watch and wanted to do a makeup look for each team.



Let's start things off with the New England Patriots

Tried to play off their logo with the red and blue




The most complicated part was trying to get the red lines to be the same length and angle on each side. I was using the end of my brows for guides, and then came to the realization that they are not "exactly" the same shape. But at least we came close.



I considered using a navy lipstick but went for red instead.
I'm such a fan of NYX Primal Colors pressed pigments (the red eyeshadow).
The pigment is so rich and if you wet the brush first the color is even stronger.

The quality of the video didn't come out as well as I was hoping it would.
It was a gloomy, rainy day and I work off natural light right now (stayed tuned for new lighting).

Metallic Teal Blue & Silver Eyeshadow


Hello, Beauties!
I want to share my latest makeup look and video with you.



I couldn't wait for my Urban Decay Heavy Metals Metallic Palette to arrive.
Then when I heard the crash at the door and saw the UPS truck drive away, my heart sank.
Much to my dismay one of my shades was shattered.
And the palette was sold out (not anymore!)


But I knew I could fix it, "Fix it, Felix!"
So with isopropyl alcohol in hand and Wreck-It-Ralph quotes in my head I went to work.
My fix it video is too large of a file put in this post but here's the link to it on my Instagram:




Tada! Not perfect but definitely better.
Now onto our look.






Amp (pretty teal color) on the lids
Dive (Blue) through the crease
Glamrock (Silver) on the brow bone


Along with some silver liners and light pink lipstick



Check out the video for all the details:

Too Faced Boss Lady Beauty Agenda Review and Look


Hey everyone,
just a little review and tutorial of Too Faced Boss Lady Beauty Agenda from Sephora.
Here we go:



Words to live by!





First, I love it! I always love Too Faced's seasonal palettes but this one is even better.
Some of the past palettes have had a few shades that were too powdery with really no color pay off and chunky glitter. But this one is not like that, it's fantastic!



It also comes with a cute little planner for 2018 with fun Too Faced facts.



And each month has a different face chart, so they give you 12 makeup ideas to get started.



And to top it all off it comes with a mini of their signature mascara and Melted Matte liquid lipstick in "Sell Out"


I'm super fair so some of the lighter highlighter/brow bone shades are hard to see on me.







I did the face chart from November "Sweetie Pie"


...And added some of my other favorite products




You can see the products in action here

Too Faced: Boss Lady Beauty Agenda Palette

New Video, New Address, New Makeup


Hey there beauties,
It's been quite sometime since my last post/video.
So, I will just quickly catch you up on a few things.


#1 New Blog Address

Due to a renewal miscommunication with the company that I purchased my original domain name from this blog address is now ultimabeautyOFFICIAL.com  because my original name is now being held for ransom (for more info click the link to my video below).

So, if you have an extra $25,000 just hanging around you can own a piece of Ultima Beauty history.
Just remember OFFICIAL on the end, all of my social media handles are the same.

#2 New Video on YouTube

Finally had a chance to make another video and you can see it here


#3 New Makeup


Of course there is new makeup that I am loving and want to share with you.
I give a quick summation of what I have been loving this year in my video.


That about covers it so far. Stay tuned, I have more makeup and beauty products to share!

XOXO Brittney

Hawaiian Luau Makeup



Some friends of mine had a Hawaiian Luau this summer, which I saw as a great opportunity to have fun with some of my brighter eyeshadow colors.




This palette from NYX is so versatile. I can use it for everyday, more natural looks and it was also great for the colorful look that I put together for the luau.




I've never been to Hawaii (although I'd love to go someday) so I based my look off the beautiful sunsets, flowers, and bodies of water found in pictures.




This ELF palette was super reasonable and has colors that aren't always easy to find (like yellow)




Products:
NYX: Avant Pop Art Throb Palette
Real Techniques: Base Shadow Brush
E.L.F.: Geometric 96 Piece Eyeshadow Palette
Starlooks Pro: Luxe Longwear Eye Liner Pen
Tru Rituals: Dual Ended Eyeshadow Brush
N.Y.C.: White Eyeliner Pencil
Beautique: Black Eyeliner Pencil
Smashbox: Full Exposure Mascara
NYX: Wonder Stick in Light/Medium
Real Techniques: Sculpting Brush
Clinique: Soft Pressed Powder Blush in Fig
 Sonia Kashuk: Synthetic Domed Multipurpose Brush - No 16
Maybelline: Color Whisper in Oh La Lilac

P!nk | Just Like Fire | Inspired Makeup

Makeup inspired by the new Alice Through the Looking Glass movie.
With Johnny Depp reprising his role as the Mad Hatter, and P!nk performing the hit song 
'Just Like Fire' for the soundtrack it is a perfect combination.




P!nk's makeup from her music video inspired me to take my own journey 
through the looking glass (minus the pink hair)
Photo via people.com





I usually don't recommend that much blue shadow under your eyes, as it makes you
look extra tired, but for this look it's a must.



My pink shadow has a slightly more purple undertone to it than 
P!nk's in the video but you get the idea.



My Make Up Forever Artist Palette was essential for this look.
