Fall Browns Eye Tutorial


Can you believe it's already October? Where did September go? And about this fall weather... It was 75 degrees today. Not that I'm complaining at all, but I really do love fall and if we just skip into winter I'm going to be really sad. Seems like the weather here in Minnesota has been so back and forth. We're always on the extreme ends of the weather, never in the middle. Summer was either 90+ hot or barely 70, and now fall seems to be trending the same way. I'd be nice if we could get some normalcy. Even though the weather doesn't feel like it, my makeup has definitely been transitioning into fall. I've finally used the last of the life palette looks and thought it'd make a great fall look with all the metallic browns. So here it is - using Em Cosmetics Night Life Palette, Look 2 First Date.





Step 1: Apply Love & Temptation all over your lid as a base.
Step 2: Line your top lid with Get Ready.
Step 3: Line your bottom lash line with Mini Skirt stopping about half way.
Step 4: Apply Dirty Martini in your crease. I used an E30 pencil brush to draw a line in my crease and then blended it out to get a more precise look.
Step 5: Pat a little bit of Dance Kiss Love in the center of your top lid to brighten up the eye.
Step 6: Highlight the inner corner with Dance Kiss Love.
Step 7: Curl your lashes and apply mascara. I used YSL Babydoll. To finish the look I used the blush (First Date) as more of a contour on my cheeks since it's pretty dark for my skin, and I used a bit of both lip colors. I applied Come Hither first and layered Nude Attitude on top. (If you were wondering, both are glosses as apposed to being more of a lip stick/color like most other looks in the life palettes.)

Urban Decay Naked 3 Tutorial

Pigs are flying! I finally used my Urban Decay Naked 3 Palette! Alright, so I only used two shades, but that's way better than I've done over the past 4 months. (Has it really been that long?) This look is super simple and really pretty for the spring. It's just a fresh, bright rosy look. Hope you enjoy! Step 1: Start with a base or primer. I uesd a Sigma Eyeshadow Base in Provoke which is just a nude base color. Then apply Burnout over all but the very outer corner of your upper lid. Step 2: Apply Buzz in the outer corner. Step 3: Line your top lash line with a dark brown to create a softer look. I used Stila Smudge Stick Waterproof Eye Liner in Damsel. Step 4: Line your waterline and inner corner in white. I used Rimmel London Soft Kohl Eye Liner Pencil in 07 Pure White. Step 5: Curl your lashes and apply mascara. I used a combination of L'Oreal Voluminous Carbon Black and L'Oreal Telescopic Carbon Black. Face: It Cosmetics ...

L'Oreal Telescopic Carbon Black Mascara

Let's talk mascara. I am in love with the L'Oreal Telescopic Carbon Black Mascara. I also love the Voluminous Carbon Black mascara, but it's a little difficult to work with, which prompted me to pick up the Telescopic mascara in the Carbon Black line. The Carbon Black line is exactly what it sounds like - meant to be a super black mascara, more than usual. The telescopic does not disappoint in this. I think it's even blacker than the Voluminous. To compare these two, the Voluminous is a volumizing more dry formula with a dense bristle wand, while the Telescopic is a lengthening, wet formula with a plastic applicator. (They do have a Telescopic mascara that isn't Carbon Black if you find the Carbon Black mascaras too black, like if you have lighter eye lashes.) Hopefully you can see from the above photo that this wand is a little different. It's a plastic applicator that has four sides. On each of the corners, it has the little spikes that a normal wand ...

Dare To Be You

Oh my gosh. I still can't get over this article. Go read it here . You can come back. I'll wait. You're back. Okay. Good. Because I want to tell you exactly how true this is. I spent 27 years of my life trying to be someone else, trying to be someone who I was not created to be. I looked to everything and everyone and wanted what they had, what they were doing, their entire life. And I chased money, fame (yes, I'm admitting it), and everything in this world you can think of. (Except illegal things. I have my parents/upbringing and God to thank for that.) You name it, I wanted it. And I wanted to BE everything. I literally have a document sitting on my external hard drive entitled, "Who I Want To Be" and let me tell you, it includes about 20 different "jobs" if you will. And each of them can be pin-pointed back to a single person or shall I say..."inspiration." I wanted to have a blog (hey, look-y here!); I wanted to have a YouTube chan...
