This tutorial is way overdue, I have been slacking tremendously but at least I have a new video camera to showcase my work.  I wanted to focus on products that you would be able to find at your nearest drugstore (minus the Smashbox blush that I used).  The main products for this smokey eye look are from L’Oreal .  You probably have seen the ads and the commercials for these little pressed/loose (are they pressed or loose? Who knows?) eye shadow pots that come in a variety of colors.  I have about 12 of the colors and I love them to pieces.  The Midnight Blue is to die for and so is the Perpetual Purple.  I will post the MOTD’S I created using these two colors.  The color payoffs of each of the colors are so bold and the longevity of the wear is wonderful.

Back to the brown smokey eye… I received an email from one of my instagram/facebook follower, Brian.  The picture was from Pretty Little Liars and it was a deep intense brown glittery smokey eye.  I wanted to create more of a cat eye smokey eye to change it up a little and I did this with the help of scotch tape.  Here’s a little tip before you apply the scotch tape right on your face.  Make sure you get the tape tacky by placing it on the back of your hand and rubbing the top of it a little.  This will prevent the tape from hurting your poor delicate eye area when you take it off later.  Trust me I’ve done it and it doesn’t feel too great. OUCH!  

Hope you enjoy the new quality of the video!!! Can’t wait to make more… if I don’t get into the lazy spell again. 

Tutorial/MOTD: Shades Of Purple

I am so late to post this, a little bit less than a month. ACK! I totally forgot that I had this waiting for me to publish. 

Since I was a kid I was always drawn to the color purple. I love wearing purple for eye shadow and eyeliner, and if the color is right on my lips as well. Purple is a wonderful complimentary color to green/hazel eyes.

  • Eyeshadow - Coastal Scents 88 Color Palette

Side note: When I was filming the video I used the light pink color. When I was taking the pictures I realized it was too light so I packed on the color next to it which is a mauve/purple/pink color. It is up to you which color you prefer.

  • Eye Liner - Maybelline Master Precise Liquid Eye Liner Pen Black
  • Glitter Eye Liner - NYX Liquid Crystal Liner Crystal Hip
  • Mascara - MAC Studio Fix Boldblack Lash
  • Lashes - Daiso
  • Lips - L'Oreal Colour Riche Balm Pink Satin and L'Oreal Colour Juice Pina Colada

Tutorial: Soft Aqua/Lime Eye with Viva Glam Nicki!

Since I was a teenager I have been a loyal MAC ADDICT not because of the great selection of products and colors but because this company gives back to others.  In 1994 the MAC Aids Fund was established  to create awareness and educate people on HIV/AIDS around the world.  Every cent of a Viva Glam Lipstick or Lipglass purchased will help people living with affected and by AIDS/HIV.  Every couple of years the company picks a new Viva Glam Spokesperson to represent the company on a whole new campaign to spread awareness with a powerful lipstick color that they choose.  This year MAC chose Ricky Martin (lip conditioner) and Nicki Minaj (flamingo pink lipstick) - two very influential people in the music industry today. 

I love the Viva Glam Niki lipstick, it is a gorgeous pink that compliments my skin tone very well.  This is my favorite pink of all time.  I decided to make a tutorial on how to wear this lipstick with brighter eye colors.  I didn't notice until I was finished with the video that Nicki's makeup in the campaign advertisements were identical to the colors that I used except switched.  :)

Enjoy watching!

Tutorial: Naked 1 Palette Smokey Eye With A POP of Color

Spring is just around the corner, but of course here in Seattle it doesn't stop the rain. I've been seeing a lot of great new trends that I can't wait to share with all of you. Many new makeup users are always scared to wear color on their lips or on their eyes. It's always best to pair a bright color with something that you are comfortable wearing. For some people it could be a neutral eye with a pop of a colored eyeliner. Or perhaps using a neutral lip liner with a bright fuchsia lipstick. I love pairing a dark eye with some bright colors as this brings more attention to the eye area. There are many ways to incorporate some bright toned hues but the easiest and simplest way is the drop shadow effect (smudged colors on the lower lashline).

Take a peak at my newest video. :) I wish I had someone to edit all my videos... any takers? lol

Tutorial/MOTD: Naked2 Palette & LIT Cosmetics - Party Glam Eyes

I have been getting a lot of requests for some eye shadow combinations using the colors from the new Naked2 Palette.  This has been my go-to palette since I purchased this a couple of months ago. You can create so many different looks from an everyday going to the office look to a night out with the girls.  The more I use this palette that more I favor it over the original Naked Palette because of the cooler toned shadows.

I needed a look that I could wear out for NYE, something not too bright and not too over the top.  I knew the Naked2 Palette would be the right choice for a mix of neutrals and dramatics. 

I received a pot of LIT Cosmetics glitter called Rich Famous that I have been dying to use.  OMG I am in love!! Serioulsy, when I tried this type of glitter I knew I had to start collecting.  This company has various sizes of glitter but the popular one is #2 which is fine enough to use around the eye area.  If you are into glitter you need to check out this company.  So many different colors that you will go crazy! I literally want to collect all of them, but then I would be covered in glitter.  GORGEOUS! I did not want to take my makeup off because of the glitz that made my eye makeup come alive. So many people complimented me saying my eyes caught their attention.  I can't wait to order more

and create different looks for my Makeup Of The Days on Instagram.
