Pretty In Pink

Hey Ladies,

This is a look that created back in January and I love love love it! It's very dramatic, but I wear dramatic colors everyday ;).... you can tone it down if necessary to make it to your liking. I am going to be making my next video tutorial on this look. I hope you like it... if you are interested to know the colors used or anything like that, leave a comment and I'll answer all questions. As always thanks for looking!!!

Here is the tutorial as promised on how to create this look. (note, the video I did today isn't quite as pink as the pictures...BUT, you use these three colors I show you in the video. Depending on how pink you want it, you just add more white to the inner corner and blend into the red and so on, the colors will turn more pink/purple the more you blend. I did the look very quickly in this video. If you have any questions, please feel free to leave comments. Thanks for looking and I hope you like my tutorial! :)

Shadowy Lady

Today I decided to use my m.a.c shadowy lady palette. I like the colors. They're very pretty. Hopefully you like the look... I created a look that you can wear in the daytime but you can also use this palette to create more dramatic ones and what not. Very versatile which I like :) Below are the photos...

As you can see by the photo of the palette, the colors are prettttttty! For this look I used the top left color all over my lid and blended upwards. Top right color blended in the crease and blended softy above the crease. Bottom right color blended only in the outer v. I lined my upper and lower lashes with a black eyeliner and then went over it with a pencil brush dipped into the bottom left corner to soften the harsh line and add that pretty blue to the look.

Hope you guys like it and as always, thanks for looking!

Recreation of Julieg713 Burning Sunset

So I saw this video of a look I really liked. you can watch the video here Julieg713 Burning Sunset... hers is most definitely better than what I did. But I was just playing around with my 88 matte color palette from coastal scents and I quickly tried to do a re-creation of her look. Below are the photos. If you are interested in what colors I used, just leave a comment and I'll post them. :) Thanks for looking!

Playing around with liner

Hey ladies :)

Long time since I have posted... I've been busy busy busy... but I have been practicing some different looks... I don't know why I didn't take photos of the looks I have done recently (dumb me) but I will get back to posting my looks of the day and what not. I just had an interview to work at Sephora part time over the holiday season, so hopefully I get it! :) I ordered soooooo much makeup this past month, I think I may have literally like tripled my makeup stash! I'll be doing swatches and reviews soon of everything I have done... But for right now, I just wanted to post photos of this look I did just playing around :)

Cut Crease Look

So I have been wanting to try this look for a while. I did it on both eyes and did it slightly different on each. On my left eye I put the crease a little higher up than on my right eye. I think I prefer the right eye over the left. I like the crease a bit lower... but overall I think the look came out really nice. I need a bit more practice at it, but for a first try I don't think I did too bad! Anyway I will edit this post tomorrow and add all the colors and how I did it.. I'm too tired to add all that now... but take a look and let me know what you think! Ciao bellas :)





Edit: Ok so tried this kind of look one more time, but this time I used The She Space pigments... first off, how gorgeous are the colors??!!! I love them! I am really happy with how the final look came out. It looks really vibrant and stuff... anyway I will again post all the colors I used and what not tomorrow... just did this look and had to upload it. Hope you like it! and thanks for stopping by!!!!
