So I’ve had many readers requested for photos of the Summer Sunset look I created.
Remember?
Here is an example of some of the inspirational colors I took off of. I’m sure you have all seen this default wallpaper for Windows I think? It’s so flippin gorgeous, I swear it has to be photoshopped! Haha.
Some people were disappointed the I did not push the colors more, but I diluted the colors for a reason.
It looks more wearable and modern. If I were to pushed all the color’s saturation, I would end up looking like a circus clown. I toned it down to create a more celestial yet subtle look.
This photo was taken in natural daylight with no flash. Contacts are geo lens in nudy green.
I achieved this look with Ben Nye Lumiere palette. This is what makeup artists use for performances on theater. The colors show up better from afar. Ben Nye’s color output is phenomenal. The intensity is vibrant and rich. I recommend this to all the color lovers out there.
Here are some more snapshots I took. I played around with the color overly because the lighting (besides the first one) was so dull and blue.
It’s amazing what a few colors can do. It can create illusions of sunsets on your eyelids.
Speaking of illusions, check out these cool wall paintings. Nothing is photoshopped. All paints and line work were strategically placed to create 2 dimensional illusions in each room.
Amazing right? I’m sure a lot of mathematics were involved. And a steady hand.
I’ll end this quick post with a photo of the ever so charming Mr. Bun Bun and I trying to look like muffins. I fail though from his cute overload.
Kindly,
Michelle Phan

Hi Michelle,
I am new to blogging and i would really like some advice on how to design a webpage i just started one recently. I am not sure on how to really work it and you seem to know alot! I just want to say you saved me. I am a stay at home mom and days can get a little lonely but ever since i discovered your you tube tutorials it has awaken my passion to be a Beauty Editor. Since the age of 7rs old i have collected countless and i mean countless magazines and would read all the beauty articles and collect all the pictures of models i think were gonna be the most famous. I feel like a walking beauty dictionary i have read so many beauty books from Paula Beguons “Dont go to the cosmetic counter with out me” to Kevin Aucouin”s The Art of makeup book which i got for my birthday and it was like getting a brand new car. I am obsessed with everything beauty to say the least and no one in my family really gets the obsession but now i have found thanks to You Tube that i am not the only one and its has been awe inspiring. So i just wanted to say thanks for not only inspiring me with your relaxing, soothing, informative, fun to watch tutorials but for inspiring thousands. i wish you all the great in life you deserve it. My blog is emanticoff.blogspot.com if you wish to visit and give me some advice if not i understand your a busy women. GOOD LUCK!
