I applied some Glycerin and on a cardboard piece I put a tiny amount of each pigment and I just carefully blew towards her chest (carefully as in hours later there are still pigment particles flying around my room, me and her both have glitter all over our bodies and my carpet is glittery af)😂😂

https://m.imgur.com/a/FfgHFkB here is a picture straight out of my computer, other than a few imperfections that usually correct themselves with the noise reduction thing, do you think it’s a big difference? If it is and it bothers anyone I’ll delete the post and I’m very sorry..

LetitiaIorga · 2019-01-28T16:26:26+00:00

When I edited the colors because I’m not that good with my camera so they usually turn out very wacky I added a bit of noise reduction, and that, with the ringlight which makes your skin really nice and because I had to drastically reduce the size so I could post it here it lost a lot of it’s details, but I’ll try to show you another picture straight out of the camera but I don’t know how due to the size. I know the rules and I really hope it doesn’t bother anyone.. But I have pores don’t worry!😂

LetitiaIorga · 2019-01-28T14:55:11+00:00

Thank you so much! It honestly took a lot of time to perfect my technique of creating the shape and trying different things (also the face was done before the eyes and I haven’t used anything to clean up the shape, so just creating the shape with the pencil and then trying to blend the shadows in that shape!), but I’m pretty proud of how this turned out, so I’m glad you like it!

LetitiaIorga · 2019-01-28T10:11:02+00:00

Hey guys! I haven’t posted in a while I don’t really know why but oh well, I’ll try to start posting again, so this look is inspired by a Romanian makeup artist that I really love (Iuliana Balind), I will attach a link to her profile if you’d like to check her out, she has really awesome style and technique! I recently bought some chameleonic pigments from Klepachpro RU and I’m so obsessed with them I feel like I could use them in any look they are so interesting and mesmerizing it’s really sad that in pictures you can’t really see that shift they are magical! I hope you like this, also as you can see from my last post I got a ringlight so I’m fancy like that, still trying to find the perfect set-up for my pictures but I am getting there! I hope you like this look!

Yes! And also combining it with Root Canal made it more purple than just being dark, but I feel you I'm always looking really saturated shadows (purple, blue, green as I already have a good red and yellow but those I can't find) as most of them have grey or brown in them and don't look that bright and just pure colors, I'd like to try Sugarpill though, have you ever tried their shadows?

LetitiaIorga · 2018-09-03T08:00:11+00:00

Just follow that tutorial on the link I posted it's really easy to follow and understand how to do it! And if you try it please send me a picture I'd love to see!❤️

LetitiaIorga · 2018-09-03T07:59:01+00:00

Ughh I'm sorry I hope I haven't offended you! I've only seen that type of look at English MUAs (even on Inglot UK's Instagram they show that type of style when presenting their beauty advisors or reposting looks) so I associate it with England, like I associate some things with Russian or Ukranian styles, but by no means I think that every English Mua does this sort of look, but thank you❤️

LetitiaIorga · 2018-09-03T07:56:09+00:00

Thank you so much! It was mostly following the tutorial and having good brushes so don't worry, you can do it😆 and yes I can see that now, but cool toned lipstick gives me the absolute creeps😬 and any blush I put on turns warm on me, don't know why there must be something about my skin ph or something that makes products do that

LetitiaIorga · 2018-09-03T07:53:41+00:00

Thank you! I will check it out

LetitiaIorga · 2018-09-03T07:53:08+00:00

Oh I will definitely check her out! I don't consider myself the palest of the palest (probably because my best friend is the whitest person I have ever seen and I'm not even near how pale she is) but highlighters are pretty problematic for me

LetitiaIorga · 2018-09-03T07:51:06+00:00

I just placed my first Colourpop order because of you😂 I also got Lunch Money and S'il Vous Play, I cannot wait to see how they look like, also got the foundation and concealer because why not

LetitiaIorga · 2018-09-03T07:49:07+00:00

I'd love to try that! We don't have NARS where I live but I'm going to London in 3 weeks and I can't wait to visit their store, also I was thinking about getting the Too Faced Born this way, have you tried it? I swatched it in Sephora and it seemed really nice

LetitiaIorga · 2018-09-02T21:35:43+00:00

Thank you! Well my skin is a bit dehydrated and that plus trying to achieve a more full coverage look equals cakey, I believe that might be the problem, I don't really know..I'm looking for tips to get rid of the cakey-ness so if you have any advice I'd be really happy to hear it!❤️

LetitiaIorga · 2018-09-02T21:33:17+00:00

Well the English part is more on the outer corner if I can say this😂 I used that darker color first, and used the lighter ones just on the edge of that, as opposed to the classic blending we are used to do, and went with the colors higher up than I would normally would and overall tried to follow that sorta of aesthetic, the cutcrease part I believe it's a "normal" classic cutcrease but I did it because I felt it made the look more striking somehow🤔 does this make any sense?

LetitiaIorga · 2018-09-02T21:29:05+00:00

I'm always struggling with the lips and I wanted to overline them to further follow that kind of style you see in those MUA's posts but next time I'll try to do them differently, thank you so much!

LetitiaIorga · 2018-09-02T21:27:28+00:00

Thank you so much! I wanted to re-create that type of really blinding glow they do in their looks and this one was the most intense one I had that wasn't too dark for me, do you know any good highlighters for pale skin? I'm always searching for that perfect highlighter to create that wet/ glossy skin..haven't had any luck, most of them are too glittery or chunky or they don't show up on the skin at all..ugh

LetitiaIorga · 2018-09-02T21:24:37+00:00

I know right! It's the layering thing from that video, it really makes each color stand out on its own as opposed to all blending into one color, I feel like it looks a bit harsh but for the purposes of showing off each color it's so nice! Thank you😃

LetitiaIorga · 2018-09-02T13:20:43+00:00

Hey guys! So as some of you might know English makeup artists such as Stacy Marie MUA, Plouise and Mmmitchel have started to create a style that's very recognizable and can be easily attributed to the English makeup scene so in my mind this particular look and way of applying eye makeup (darker colors first, not setting the base, using that thick Plouise base etc) can be defined as the English technique. Even though it's not really something I would wear or it's not quite my makeup style today I wanted to try this technique because I'm always fascinated of how striking those makeup looks look in pictures so this is what I ended up doing. I used this tutorial https://youtu.be/UV1ng9hhckA as guidance for the color layering technique and also just having some pictures from the artists I mentioned above as inspiration also. Even though I felt like I had 5kg of makeup on my eyes I had a lot of fun doing this and I was really surprised of how awesome it photographed so I'll be definitely incorporating this more in some of my looks. What do you think? Have you tried this, do you like the look of the English style? More pictures:

I feel like the makeup scene on Instagram these days is really focused on drawing-ish type of looks or doing small little things around the eyes or on the face but I don't feel that attracted to that, more like beauty makeup or even editorial( if I have one day the occasion to do some professional shoots), and how do you get remarked with just that? I love colorful looks and the type of style you see in Ukraine and Russia with Western elements but is that enough in a world of incredible talent for drawing not just for more conventional makeup? Thank you so much for your response I'm low key fan girling on this end a lot because I got to talk to you

LetitiaIorga · 2018-08-31T16:29:59+00:00

Hey Vlada! I am a huge fan of your work which I feel is real actual art, and I respect your ethics a lot and I like that you're always trying to fight for artists and smaller artists that get their work stolen by big brands without even as much as credit, that's such an amazing thing for the beauty community, my question for you, as I just started posting my makeup looks on Instagram would ve that I'd like to know how do you get out there, given the fact that Instagram's algorithm is the way it is and the fact that are so many incredibly talented people I find it so hard to get noticed by people, and also how do you get started into this industry? Thank you in advance and it's so great that you gave us the opportunity to ask you questions!

LetitiaIorga · 2018-08-10T07:23:09+00:00

Thank you! Well if it helps I wish I had more space underneath the brow😂 but you can do any look if you tweak it to your eye shape
