01/01/2014 - Happy New Years!

Hello everyone! I am so sorry I have not posted in so long. Life had gotten in the way, and I barely had time to make posts/new makeup looks.

I did a makeup look inspired from a YouTube Beauty Guru, and did this look for one of my best friends. Both of us, and a few of our friends went out to Adams Morgan last night for a New Year's Eve celebration! Everyone know for New Year's Eve, you HAVE to do a sparkley, dramatic smokey eye. So, that's exactly what I did for her!

Sunday, 9/29/2013: sparkly natural eye

Hey all! Here's another pictorial!

Step 1: Prime your eyes with any eyelid primer or concealer.

Step 2: Place light rose shimmer color in the inner part of your lid (I used the color Sin from the UD Naked Palette) and a darker champagne color on the outer part of lid (Sidecar from same palette).

Step 3: Take any fluffy blending brush and work a brown matte color in the crease to get rid of hard lines and define crease (Buck from UD Naked palette).

Step 4: place same lid colors on the bottom lids, and buff the brown crease color into bottom lids.

Step 5: Highlight brow bones and inner tear duct with any shimmery white color (Virgin from UD Naked palette).

Step 6: Apply eyeliner and mascara! Also, line your bottom waterline with a white color to make the eyes bigger and pop better.

I hope you guys enjoyed this. I like making pictorials!

Until next time,
