Battle of the Brushes is a super fun LIVE series hosted by Motives where two special guests "battle" it out by creating their own unique makeup looks with the same product! Professional Makeup Artists & Motives Beauty Advisors Maleeva Lengel and Jacqueline Menconi went head to head on Wednesday LIVE on Facebook where they shared pro tips and tricks while interacting with the audience. This session was all about creating unique summer glam looks using the same eye shadow palette and different face and lip products. Read on for a recap!

La La Static Palette

Jacqueline and Maleeva both used the Motives for La La Static Palette for their summer glam looks. 


Coming in hot like the red metallic packaging they live in, these metallic and matte shades were hand-picked by the gorgeous La La Anthony to give you the colors you need to create hundreds of fiery looks that won’t stop, morning or night. Be Bold, Be Fierce, Be Electric. Static is anything but basic.


Here are the benefits:

  • Features ten eyeshadows to create various looks, subtle or bold
  • High color payoff and silky texture applies smoothly
  • Perfectly sized for glamorous looks on-the-go
  • Eye shadows can be worn wet or dry
  • Paraben, fragrance, and oil free 

Maleeva's Look

After sharing some tricks on brightening up her eyes with the Static Palette, Maleeva finished off her eye look with a fan favorite, Motives Fiber Lush Mascara. Get the look of false lashes without the work. Fiber Lush Mascara is formulated with fibers that adhere to your lashes making them look longer, fuller and drop-dead luscious. This one-step formula has been perfectly paired with a brush designed for flawless application that resists smudging, clumping, and flaking all day. 


Maleeva shared some great tips on how she preps her face before her foundation with strategically applying the Motives Complexion Perfection Face Primer and Insta-smooth to get a nice smooth finish. She also threw in one of her secrets as to how she refreshes her look throughout the day.


Be sure to watch the replay to learn how Maleeva uses the Flawless Face Stick Foundations and incorporates the Lumière de Vie Lumi-Sticks into her summer look. 


She finished her look with her favorite summer Lip Glaze in the color "Sweets" after lining her lips with "Passion" Motives Lip Crayon.

Jacqueline's Look

Jacqueline started her look by using Motives Eye Base followed with "Nirvana" Motives Liquid Metallic Eye Shadow. A liquid eye shadow that delivers lust-worthy, vibrant color with every swipe. This long-lasting formula pairs seamlessly with pressed eye shadow for a perfect blend of textures and finishes that is crease-resistant and lasts for hours. This lightweight, creamy eye innovation dries down in seconds, leaving a layer of high-intensity color in runway ready shades.


Jacqueline also shared how you to a pop of color with the "Electric Blue" Motives Khol Eyeliner. An exceptionally smooth eye pencil that provides precise definition without "dragging" or pulling the delicate eye area. Enhance and enliven your eyes with the bold, long-wearing color of this eye pencil.


She also gave a few tips on how she gets her airbrushed finish by  incorporating the Lumière de Vie Pore Minimizing Serum with her Custom Blend Foundation. She also added some shape and glow to her face with the Motives Face Palettes.


Jacqueline prepped her lips with Motives 40FY Lip Treatment before applying  "Truffle" Lip Crayon and "My Type" Lip Glaze.


And to set everything she used not one but TWO setting sprays! You'll have to watch to see why ;)
