This is the first non-self portrait I have done for my Light & Sugar project. I figured what better way to start it out than to do a collaboration with my roommate Sarah, internet famous nail blogger extraordinaire of Chalkboard Nails!
She is modeling her own ninja dagger nail design and holding a pair of badass silver nail wheels that resemble ninja stars.
For the makeup I used:
Sugarpill “Love+” (red)
Sugarpill “Tako” (white)
Kryolan silver metallic aquacolor
Sephora black liquid eyeliner
I recently bought a Make Up Forever “Aqua Cream” in Gold, so that was my starting point with the makeup.
I am pretty impressed with it! It’s a bright and shiny gold that really stays on.
I added Sugarpill “Magpie” (dark blue shimmer) and ended up with this dramatic glam look.
I thought the whole thing came together pretty well!

Yeah, I did makeup inspired by a sweater… what of it? ;-P
I don’t always make a post here when I take my weekly self-portrait, but I assure you I have been keeping up with my Light & Sugar project! Light & Sugar on Tumblr has the entire portfolio of portraits. I just like to give you guys a few extra details here on this blog if you care to look.
I used eyeshadows for all of this design! Kind of ridiculous considering I probably could’ve achieved the same thing with some greasepaint from the Halloween superstore or something… but anyway, I used what I had!
I’d like to thank the makers of Neutrogena makeup removing cloths and the Clarisonic skincare brush, without whom I would probably never be able to get all this crap off my face from week to week. 
For once I actually had an idea in my head when I started my makeup today
My parents’ lemon tree is FULL of ripe lemons, and that was the inspiration for the look.
I used Sugarpill Tako and Buttercupcake, Makeup Forever lashes, and Sephora liquid eyeliner.
Here’s the silly sketch I had made:
…and here’s an “outtake” for you that I took with my point-and-shoot camera 
Decided to take the shoot outdoors today.
