Sugar Spice and Everything Nice

This was a extremely fun look to do and reminds me of sugar (the pinks and reds) and spice (the blue blended into the pink and red.) So shall we get started?

Products used:
•Mac paint pot in painterly
•Mac brush- 239,217, 212
•L'Oreal Runway pallet limited edition in "Charming Cockatoo"
•Mac e/s- orange, Copper, Carbon
•NYX e/s- Frosted Ocean

Step 1: Using a ring finger blend in your primer. I am using Mac Paint Pot in Painterly.

Step 2: Pick up your 239 brush and go into the first shade of the Charming Cockatoo pallet. It should be a light coral hued pink. In a patting motion which is up and down apply this color.

Step 3: Using a 217 go into Mac's Orange. In a window shield motion (back and forth) blend this color into the pink. Make sure to not pick up a lot of the color because it will look more orange hued than red. Now go into the shade copper. Take the littlest amount of the shade and make sure to blend this into the orange.

Step 4: Using the same brush go into NYX Frosted Ocean. In a back and forth motion blend this color in as the inner V. It will help add more depth to this look. The reason I opted in for a blue/black instead of a brick red is because I felt it added a nice contrast between the colors.

Step 5: I used a 212 brush and wet it with water then I dipped it into the eyeshadow called Carbon. Then I lined like normally a straight medium thick line. After all of that I applied mascara!

Smokey eye, Holiday look III

This is a smokey eye but I am marking it as a holiday look because it fits. The reason I feel it fits is because the warm brown reminds me of a frosty cold Christmas. Most people are probably not going to do a extravagant red and green makeup look, they will more than likely opt in for a smokey eye. Today we are going to go right to the products because I did a different sort of eyeliner look and I would like to explain it.

Products:
•Victoria Secret "Hey Bombshell" pallet. From the left first color, and the second to last shade in the same row it should be a purple. The last eye shadow row on the right, the last shade it should be a dark brown. The 4th row contains blacks, I went into the matte shade of black the second to last shade.
•Mac paint pot in painterly
•Mac brush- 239,217,231
•Mac e/s- Carbon ( used to line the lower lash)
•NYC unnamed liner in "Pearl Black" can be found at a drugstore!

Step 1: Apply primer with your ring finger and blend all around the eye. I chose Mac paint pot in Painterly.

Step 2: Pick up your 239 brush and go into the first color in the farthest left shade. It should be a pink, then in a patting motion apply this shade. using the same brush go into the second to last shade in the same row, it should be a purple. Right on top of the pink pat this on.

Step 3: Pick up your 217 brush and go into the last eye shadow to the farthest right it should be a dark brown with some bronze to it. In a window shield motion blend this color in. To deepen the crease we will go into the 4th row, it contains blacks. Go into the matte black and blend this into the inner V of the eye.


So far it should look like this!

The lid contains a pink shade with purple on top, brown in the crease and a black shade that deepens the crease. We also applied a highlight, this is optional but I recommend it! If you are going to go into a highlight chose something close to your skin tone or something light.

Now for the last step we have to apply eyeliner. Line your eye like normally then create a triangle at the corner of your eye also called the tear duct. Using a flat brush blend in a black eye shadow on the lash line so the "Triangle" does not look odd. Using a 231 Mac brush I blended the black out and I applied it to my waterline. Good luck :D!

1- Patting motion is when you take your brush and tap up and down. It makes colors more vibrant rather than rubbing this shade in. Since we normally only pat light shades for the lid and pigments/glitters it is important to know this step.

2- Window shield motion is when you blend. It is blending back and forth, think of a car when it is raining. It is the process of "smoking" a shade into your crease. This can be done in circular motions as well. Just get into your own ways of blending.

Holiday look II

  So yesterday kicked off this seasons looks I will be doing. It will range in really dramatic looks to really subtle elegant looks. Today is one of those everyday looks with a elegant touch. Below I listed the steps and what products I used. When you do this look it is so effortless but, the colors being used are perfect for this winter.

Products:

• Mac e/s- Naked lunch (lid, tear duct), Mac Wedge (crease), Mac Gesso (highlight)

• NYC no name liner in Pearl black

• Mac brush's- 239, 217

• Mac paint pot in Painterly ( apply with finger as your first step)

Step 1: Apply primer with your ring finger and blend all around the eye. I chose Mac paint pot in Painterly.

Step 2: Grab your 239 brush and go into the shade ' Naked Lunch ' in a patting motion apply this shade.

Step 3:  Now pick up your 217 and go into ' Wedge' in a window shield motion blend this shade in. Remember we want to keep this elegant and light sort of looking so don't over do how much product you apply.

Step 4: Line your eyelids with any eyeliner then apply mascara.

1- Patting motion is when you take your brush and tap up and down. It makes colors more vibrant rather than rubbing this shade in. Since we normally only pat light shades for the lid and pigments/glitters it is important to know this step.

2- Window shield motion is when you blend. It is blending back and forth, think of a car when it is raining. It is the process of "smoking" a shade into your crease. This can be done in circular motions as well. Just get into your own ways of blending.

Holiday I

 This is my first holiday look! I really liked how this came out and the best thing is you don't need to do much of anything, well lets not get carried away you still have to do the blending part but it is super easy and effortless. I should really make a video so I can reference it! Today I also below listed the meaning of some words so it can help like the word "patting motion" it can often be mistaken for side to side motions.

So here is Holiday I

Vibrant and just the right colors to flow with this Christmas holiday coming up. You could possibly do this for Thanksgiving too which is on Thursday. Now what products did I use?

              • Mac brush's - 239,217
              • Nyx jumbo eye pencil in Milk
              • Maybelline Studio pallet in Forrest Fury, and Give me gold
              • NYC liner ( it is black and is called black pearl and has no name!)

Step 1: Apply primer with your ring finger and blend all around the eye. I chose Nyx jumbo eye pencil in Milk!

Step 2: Grab your 239 brush and go into the studio pallet in the pallet Give Me Gold. There are 5 colors go into the second shade from the left. In a patting motion'1' apply this true gold in the tear duct area also know pat up to the lid.

Step 3:  Now pick up your 217 and go into  the Forrest Fury pallet. There are 5 shades the first color we will be going into is the "V" shaped color. It should look like a dark Forrest green. In a window shield motion'2' blend this lovely shade in. Do not blend up to the eyebrow please! What may help you blend in keeping in mind it is really just back and forth and sometimes circular motions that make up blending.

Step 4: Using the same brush go into the shade from the left, I will call it "Limey." Using your same 217 blend it right on top of the Forrest green. I do this backwards, some people like to apply the lime first then in the inner V to add more depth apply the green. What ever works for you. Last but not least line your eyelids!

1- Patting motion is when you take your brush and tap up and down. It makes colors more vibrant rather than rubbing this shade in. Since we normally only pat light shades for the lid and pigments/glitters it is important to know this step.

2- Window shield motion is when you blend. It is blending back and forth, think of a car when it is raining. It is the process of "smoking" a shade into your crease. This can be done in circular motions as well. Just get into your own ways of blending.

Natural #2

 This is another natural eye but this time I am using different colors and tools. I was experimenting with my cream liner in plum and i though why not do a natural smokey look with a vibrant touch!

     Items used:
•Mac brush- 224,239,212
•Mac e/s- Copperplate, Gesso, Wedge
•Wet n wild Cream Liner in Purple
•Mac paint pot in painterly

Step 1: Apply primer all over your eyelid using your ring finger. Blend the primer up to the brow bone.

 Step 2: Grab your 239 and mac eye shadow in GESSO. In the corner of your eye apply the vivid white then apply it on the eyelid. 

Step 3: Grab your 224 brush and dip it into Copperplate. In a back and forth motion also called window shield motion blend the soft brown into the white. This brush is super fluffy so if you are not the best blender you will still get fabulous results because it is made to smoke out looks. On top of the brown apply a titch lighter shade. I oped into wedge, with the same brush blend the color right on top of the brown. Sometimes people find it easier to blend on top of the crease so what ever works best for you!

Step 4: Using a 212 flat brush go into the cream liner. I did a cat eye but you can always keep it simple.

Itsy...Bitsy spider

Need last minute Halloween makeup ideas? I have a super cool and fun look for you today. Below are the steps and products used.

 
Items used
•Mac 217,239
•Mac e/s used- ORANGE
•NYX e/s -autumn sky
•Mac Paint pot in painterly
•Maybelline eye studio in blue blue blowout

Step 1: Apply primer all over your eyelid using your ring finger. Blend the primer up to the brow bone.

Step 2: Grab your 239 and Mac Orange eye shadow. Dip your brush into the orange and apply on the lid in a patting motion. Keep applying until you get the perfect orange for you.

Step 3: Go into the eye studio pallet. There is 5 colors the one we will be using is the 2 shade to the right. Using your 217 blend this color into the orange. What normally helps people to blend in using a back and forth motion. After you blend in the purple/blue hued color we are now going to go into NYX eye shadow in autumn sky. All you have to do is on top of the purple/blue blend in the bright sunny blue.

Step 4: Apply the liner. This is a big part of this look. First line the tip lid like you would normally just a bit thicker. Next with your liner brush draw a smooth zig zag line using the corner of your eye to keep it straight.on the bottom of the line draw a thick dot and 8 legs. I then went into a silver eyeliner and in the middle which is the dot put silver and on the 8 legs I put little silver dots as well.

Soft and Fluffy

  This look is very simple yet chic! Below are the steps and the products you will need in order to complete "Soft and Fluffy"

                       

What you will need

•Mac 217,239,231
•Mac e/s in - Gesso, Hep cat, Sketch
•NYC liner
•Wet n wild mega sparkle in WHITE
•PRIMER ( Mac paint pot in painterly)

Step 1: Apply a primer to your eyelids. I use my ring finger to blend in Mac's paint pot in painterly. The reason we will need primer is because we really want the shades to "pop" and be more vibrant. Once you have blended the primer all the way up to your eyebrow you can proceed to step 2.

Step 2: Grab your 239 and matte white eye shadow. For this step I used MAC Gesso and used patting motion which is just patting the color on. You will have to keep doing this step until the color white is vibrant like in the picture. Once you have put the white on the eye lid you are going to gently sweep the brow bone with the same shade for some highlight. You are also going to do the same with the inner corner!

Step 3: Now we will start blending! Grab your 217 brush and Hep cat e/s. In windshield motion blend the color in. Windshield motion is back and forth slowly until the color is blended, if you have to go back and get more color don't be afraid the more the better! Go into Sketch now and blend it into the shade hep cap. I normally just blend on the top of the 1st color to add more depth.

Step 4: Take your 231 and dip it into Wet n Wild's mega sparkle in White. In patting motion apply the glitter.

Step 5: Apply eyeliner in a cat eye look then apply mascara.

ELEGANT

This looks is really gorgeous and I think pretty much anyone can pull it off!

                       

Here is what you will need:

• Mac 217, 239, 231

•Wet n' wild Mega Sparkle in White Icing 

•Wet n' wild Mega liner in "Indigo Blue''

•NYC eyeliner

•Mac paintpot in Painterly 

•Mac eye shadows in Winkle, and Gesso

  First apply a primer. I am using Mac Paint Pot in Painterly. Apply the primer all the way you to your eyebrow and make sure it is blended in! Next go into Gesso with a 239 brush and apply all over the lid area. Make sure you apply enough so it is extremely vivid! Now pick up your 217 and blend into the crease something that may help you in the process is to think of a windshield motion going up and side to side. Once you see it is perfectly blended you are going to line your eyelids. First line with black I am using NYC eyeliner you can do what ever eyeliner shape you per fur but I chose to do a cat eye because it is easier to apply the blue with still being able to see the black. To apply the blue all you have to do is outline the black eyeliner. The finale step is to pick up a tiny shadier brush I am using a 231 by mac and I dipped the brush into the Wet n wild Mega Sparkle in White Icing and patted it on my eyelid. I applied the sparkles on the white but very minimum. For the lips make sure to keep it simple!

Soft Green

I decided to experiment with putting a darker color in the tear duct area and lighter color in the lid area and in the crease the same darker color.

You will need :

-Maybelline Eye Studio Color Explosion in Forest Fury
-Maybelline twisty liner in Cinabun
-Elf mascara in Dark brown
-Mac Paint Pot in Painterly
-Mac 239 ( eye shadow brush )
-Mac 231 ( small detail brush )
-Nyx mega shine in French Kiss ( LG113)
-Mac lip liner in Stripe down

   First apply Mac Paint Pot in Painterly with your ring finger all over the lid area . Next grab your 231 brush and the Maybelline pallet . First take your 231 and go into the bright lime color . After put the color in the tear duct or inner corner of your eye . After you have that part done take the same 231 and go back into the lime and move the color back and forth into the crease but , not into the lid . Next grab your 239 and dip it into the first color and put it in the lid area in a patting motion . Now that you have the top lid down move the shadows down to your lower lash line in the same way it looks above your eye . Now take a dark brown liner and line your lid and the corner of your lash line . When you are done with the liner go into mascara . Wiggle the brush up . Now lets move down to the lips! Apply the lip gloss all over the lip . Next take Mac lip liner in Stripe Down and put the color at the corners of your lips for more definition ! This is the end result comment and, good luck !
