Sugar Plum Fairy FOTD


Sugar Plum Fairy

The wonderful people at Beauty From the Earth, now known as BFTE Cosmetics, agreed to sponsor my contest. When the prize pack arrived, I was pleasantly surprised to find out the owner had packed some shadows for me to try out as well. This look is done using these pigments, but use whatever purple, burgundy-ish and light brown you have. I did this look twice - once for a vlog and then now as a tutorial. The pics I took for the tutorial did not turn out that great (sorry).



For this look, I wanted to have a lighter face than usual. I was aiming for the china doll, porcelain-type face. To achieve this I used the Coastal Scents HD Foundation I received in shade St-03. Again, I was sent this for reviewing purposes so I have the lighter shade. You can use any foundation that is lighter than your normal skin tone or rely on your eyeshadow to achieve this effect.
