Fall Cranberry Look


I was looking for a drugstore palette with a cranberry color like this one and it was surprisingly hard to find, in fact this was my only option at Target. Overall it's okay. The cranberry color is good, but I couldn't seem to build the brown enough. Since the palette seemed a little boring to me once I got done with the shadows, I decided to add a pop of blue to put a twist on a traditional fall look. I wish the blue was a little darker on my waterline, but I still think this is a pretty look.



Step 1: Apply the cranberry color over the whole lid.
Step 2: Apply the dark brown in the crease and the outer quarter of your top lid.
Step 3: Take the same brown and apply it on the outer third of the bottom lid and bring it up into the color on the top lid.
Step 4: Highlight the inner corner with the cream color. Then apply the beige color under the eye, filling in the rest of the lower lash line.
Step 5: Apply a black eye liner on the top half of your lid. I used Maybelline Master Precise. Then apply a blue liner on the waterline. I used Rimmel Special Eyes in Navy Blue, which didn't come out as a navy blue at all, so if you're looking for something darker, I wouldn't recommend this one.
Step 6: Curl your lashes and apply mascara!

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 ...

Neutral Eye using Stila's In The Light Eye Shadow Palette

A while back I received a sample of the Stila In The Light Eye Shadow Palette and had meant to try it, but just never got around to it. Well I pulled it out about a week ago and thought I'd do some tutorials with it to decide whether I liked it enough to purchase it. So I did a couple and then my computer decided to hate me and delete pictures on my chip. We still can't figure out what went wrong. It was the strangest thing - it renamed the chip and deleted some, not all, just some. So this is actually my second time around with this tutorial. Good thing I liked this palette! It's actually a pretty good neutral palette. When I went to Ulta to pick it up, one of the workers said it was actually her favorite right now. It also comes with a dark brown eye liner, which I REALLY liked. It's super creamy and reminds me of my favorite Maybelline Unstoppable, but better. If you're looking for a neutral palette, this one is good. I'd still recommend the Lorac Pro fir...
