Makeup For Every Day of the Week: Pixi Wakeup Makeup Review

See a Week of Makeup to Break Up Your Beauty Routine

April 19, 2011

1 / 13

For the last week, I've been trying makeup artist Petra Strand's new Week of Makeup Wakeup ($34), a palette-a-day kit that promises to get you out of your beauty routine rut. I wore all the color palettes faithfully, and now you can see how the shades look on and find out how each day's colors wore.

The kit definitely did shake up my beauty regimen, and even changed a few perceptions I had about which colors I could wear. Plus, trying something new every day was really fun, if a little scary sometimes. Check it out to see if you'd be up for the challenge, too.

Overall I think you're an ideal candidate for this palette. I think too many shades wouldn't show up on me.

I loved everyday except Thursday. I think the blush was too much . BTW you have pretty eyes.

I agree.. LOVE Wednesday! You have solely convinced me to buy this kit.. you look gorgeous! :)

Amandachalynn, I always wonder that, too. I really like Pixi, but stuff like their cheek gel is $18 when you can buy their small palettes for $16. I guess I'd say their kits are a deal and their singles are more department store prices.

Personally I find black eyeliner and red lips boring and overdone. I like the soft, muted colors. They let your real beauty shine. What I don't understand about this line is the pricing. 35$ is a steal in my opinion for a kit this size, but then they charge 25$ for a small foundation stick. Maybe I just don't realize what foundation sticks go for these days...

Loved this series! Wednesday and Friday are my favorites.

My favorite look is still Wednesday, but you look gorg in all of them. Great little kit to keep your day time makeup organized as well. Very fun!

Ooh my, those are some harsh words porcelainheart. Like Miriam said I think these are mostly for daytime looks that are appropriate for work, etc. I don't know if I would buy the kit, but like ticamorena said if you're traveling and don't want to pack your entire make-up kit, it's probably an alright investment.

Porcelainheart, sorry you don't like it. I just used everything that came in the kit. I agree that there isn't a real "night out" look here, but I actually think it's smart that the set is designed to be universally wearable and easy for daytime.

this is f*cking lame.....she looked the same every fucking day. why dont you do some black eyeliner or red lipstick. something bold NOT boring

They all looked (or photographed) great except Thurs. It seems like a decent investment if you're going on short a business trip or something of the like
