Bright Color Look using Sigma Eye Shadows


Look at those bright colors! And you thought it was fall... Actually, I got a sample from Sigma back in August and it got tucked away and forgotten about. Oops! It had such bright colors in it that I thought I'd do a fun bright look. And as I was doing this, you know what popped into my head? Whitney's talk about unicorn puke. Yes, unicorn puke. I believe it was in talk about the crazy colorful running shoes they've recently come out with, but that's all I could think about. And really it just made me happy. =) lol. Back to the makeup. The shadows are a-ma-zing. So amazing that I've already ordered them, so you can expect more colorful tutorials. And maybe some not so colorful ones too. If you haven't checked out Sigma yet, they're a local Minnesota company, which of course makes them so much better. =) Just kidding. (Not about the Minnesota part.) They've been known for their brushes for a while and have just recently expanded into makeup, and it's great. Really. Go check them out. And now on to some unicorn puke.



Step 1: Apply Grasp all over lid.
Step 2: Apply Allure in the crease and blend up and out leaving a defined line in the crease. I took this all the way down to the inner corner so that when my eye is open, it just peaked out in the inner part of the lid.
Step 3: Apply Notre Dame on the outside edge. This is just a sparkly shade, not too pigmented, so I just kept applying until it muted the colors to my liking. (Bonus: it turned the pink slightly purple - another color!)
Step 4: Apply Act on lower lash line and bring up to connect it with the color on the upper lid. I also added a touch of Notre Dame on the outside edge to add a little sparkle.
Step 5: Apply Versailles as an inner corner highlight, but only apply it on the bottom half. You want the violet to still peak out instead of having the highlight there.
Step 6: Apply eyeliner. I started by using the Maybelline Master Precise and found out that I definitely needed it not so defined, so I just used a pencil over the top to give it an almost smudged effect. It was at this point where I was in full on unicorn puke mode and had to seriously restrain myself from using a glitter liner. I was successful, so you're welcome. =)
Step 7: Mascara. And since I didn't get to use the glitter liner, I popped some white liner on my waterline to brighten the look even more.

Finally, put on your princess crown (aka 2 sparkly headbands) and back that azz up with Whitney!
PS. If you haven't checked out Thomas Rhett's new album, you must do it now. It's got a little bit of something for everyone, and it doesn't hurt that's he's got an amazing voice. I may or may not have had it on repeat since it came out on Tuesday.

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...
