Lorac Pro Gold Look

I thought I'd try something a little different. Instead of a tutorial, I'd do just a full face look. There's not much to the eye look, so it'd be pretty simple anyways. I really wanted to have this bright, goldish, fun, kind of shimmery but still natural look. I followed my current foundation routine , and here's what else I used: Face: Urban Decay Baked Bronzer in Gilded to contour and add color. Nars Laguna bronzer to deepen the contour on cheeks. Elf Twinkle Pink Blush. Benefit Watt's Up Highlighter. Lips: Just a touch of Revlon Lip Butter in Peach Parfait with Maybelline Baby Lips Peach Kiss over the top. Eyes: Lorac Pro Lt. Bronze all over top and bottom lid. Added a touch of Gold over top. Cover Girl Flamed Out Shadow Pencil in 340 (light rosy color) on waterline. No liner. L'Oreal Carbon Black mascara.

A Smokey Storm

Hang on to your seat here folks. There's a storm rolling in and it's going to be beautiful! When I started this blog, I didn't think I would feel the passion for the makeup tutorials like I do right now. I have this urge to do one every single day, maybe twice; I'm just having so much fun with it. Of course, being the weekend, that sounds like a fabulous idea, but during the week? When I'm already getting up at 5:40 every morning? And now I want to get up earlier to work on a makeup tutorial? Psycho. Seriously lol. So right now I'll settle for frolicking deep in the lands of makeup on the weekends. For this tutorial, I'm using two different eyeshadow palettes. The first is Bobbi Brown's Caviar and Oyster palette and the second in Urban Decay's Naked2. I'm pretty sure you can buy the Urban Decay shadows separately, but I think some of the Bobbi Brown ones are a special edition for the palette - at least I didn't see them on the website. I...

Natural No Makeup Eye Tutorial

Today I have a very natural, pretty much no makeup, eye tutorial. In some lights, it looks like you have absolutely nothing on, while in others it looks like you have on just a little. I like to use this type of makeup when I don't feel like having bare eyes, but don't want my eyes to stand out either. I used Urban Decay's Naked2 Palette and Maybelline's The Rocket Volume Express. For brushes, you just need a flat shader brush and a blending brush. You could use the double ended brush in the palette itself, but I find it too stiff to work with most of the time. I hope you enjoy! 1. First, you'll want to prime your eyes. I used Urban Decay's Eyeshadow Primer Potion in the color Original. Any primer will do here, just don't use one with shimmer since this is a natural look. Next take an eyeshadow that matches your skin. I'm using Urban Decay's Foxy. Place that all over your lid to give it a good base. 2....
