"Golden Rose" Makeup & Nails with Catrice, Becca, and Dance Legend
Hello, Fireflies!
I was so excited to hear that Ulta was now carrying Catrice makeup, I placed a little order for a few of their things! I put together a makeup and nails look using some of them, and a few other things. I hope you like lots of pictures and swatches!
With all of the makeup I have, there are two types I keep finding myself reaching for: metallics, and orange/golds. I think I must miss the Disco era.
Until this point, I'd only tried Catrice nail polish, so I picked up a couple of their lipsticks from their Ultimate Stay collection. I'm wearing Plum & Base for this look. It's like a satin matte, very comfortable, pretty long-wearing on me. I can't get enough berry lippies.
For the eye look, I couldn't wait to try out these Catrice Liquid Metal Eyeshadows. I also added in a few Makeup Geek shadows, too (later this week, I'll have a post with my MG swatches). I used We Are The Champagnes in the inner corner and 1/3 of the lid, MG Cosmopolitan in the center, blended out into Catrice Nougat It Right. Pretty sure I used MG Cupcake as a transition shade, too.
I didn't need another highlighter. Thanks to the excellent marketing blitz by Becca, I saw a lot of swatches of the Becca highlighter collab with Jaclyn Hill, and I fell in love with that rosy champagne glow. I guess since I didn't use any contour, I technically strobed with this, but I used a pretty light hand. It's very finely milled, and glowy, and I really like it.
That glow is highlighter, and happiness!
Dance Legend 48 looks like an unassuming holo in the bottle, but it is all kinds of amazing on the nail. I couldn't take enough pictures to show you all the color shifting. It goes from purple taupe to violet, to a rose gold to an orange gold, depending on how the light hits it. I was transfixed.
I used LeaLac plate B and Finger Paints Black Expressionism for the stamping over Dance Legend 48.
Are you loving rose gold and metallics like I am? What's your favorite rose gold product right now?
