Fun Fall Makeup Tutorial Ft. Anastasia Beverly Hills Artist Eyeshadow Palette

Hey everyone! It has been awhile doing a pictorial. I thought since Fall is my favorite season, I thought I would create a look or two. The palette I used for the look is the Anastasia Beverly Hills Artist Palette. I wanted to do a fun fall colorful look because I love color and what better time to show case some of Fall's vibrant colors. Hope you enjoy this look! :)

The picture is pretty self explanatory. I do want to add that I always use primer to prime my eyes before applying eyeshadow. For the lid I used a white primer to make the orange and yellow eyeshadow color pop more. Before I applied the green eyeshadow below the lash line, I used NYX eyeliner pencil in tropical green to make the green eyeshadow become more vibrant.

 Finished Look

Products Used

*Anastasia Beverly Hills Artist Palette

*Urban Decay Eyeliner

*Nyx Liquid Eyeliner in Black

My Little Pony: Rainbow Dash Inspired Makeup Ft. SugarPill + Coastal Scents

Hey guys! Hope everyone is well. I am really excited about this blog post because I haven't done a makeup look on my blog in a longtime. I had so much fun creating this look and I was inspired by one of my daughter's favorite cartoon called "My Little Pony". If you are a mom, have nieces or baby sisters, then you know how popular this cartoon is. I stumbled upon her my little pony coloring book  and thought this would be fun to create a makeup look from one of the my little pony characters. I asked her which one would you like me to do a makeup up look on and she chose rainbow dash. I was hoping she would choose that one. :) I used colors from rainbow dash's character and incorporated into this makeup look. It is fun and colorful sure to brighten up the long winter days. Hope you enjoy the tutorial/pictorial! 

Pictorial

I used the Sugar pill eyeshadow palettes and coastal scents 88 matte palette to create this look. You can use any eye shadow palettes or eyeshadows with the same colors to achieve this look. These are steps in pictures... Scroll down to the tutorial to get step by step instructions.. Enjoy!

Tutorial

*Apply eye primer all over the lid up to the brow bone. For colorful makeup looks I always add a white base to make the eyeshadows  appear more vibrate. *

1. Next I mixed the two light blue eyeshadows and applied it to the more than

first half of the lid. 

2. I took the darker purple shade(any purple color will do) and applied it the last half of the lid. Gently blend the two colors together so there won't be a harsh line.

3. Dip the brush in any vibrant yellow you have and apply it all over the crease up to where the brow bone begins. Blend!

4. Take an orange eyeshadow and apply in to the mid crease. Blend!

5. I then applied the red eyeshadow to the out corner and brought it up into the crease.Blend!

6. Apply a white eyeshadow to the brow bone. Blend!

7. Use your favorite black mascara or you can use a colorful one and apply it to your lashes. I alway apply a few coats. 

8. I used a Nyx light green jumbo pencil and applied it to my lower lash as a base.

9. Next take a light green eyeshadow and apply over the green base. To darken the green a little, I just took a darker green shade and applied it on top of the light green eyeshadow.

10. On my inner tear duct, I applied a white base and took a yellow eyeshadow and applied it on top to make it more vibrant.

11. Add black eyeliner to your water line and you are done!

 Finished Looks

I had so much fun creating this look and my daughter loved it! It feels so good to create makeup looks and tutorials for you guys again. I hope you enjoyed this look and see you in my next blog post!

Compilation of my MOTD Eye Makeup

Hey lovelies! Hope everyone is doing well. I haven't blogged about my makeup looks or tutorials/pictorials in awhile. I thought I would show you guys makeup looks that I have been wearing and loving over the past few weeks and months.  I first uploaded them on my instagram account and I thought I would also share my looks with you guys here. Hope you like them! :)

Lately, I have been loving burgundy and burnt orange shades. Here I used sephora's pantone makeup palette. The color of the year if you didn't know already is marsala. I love this color and have been wearing this a lot. I used a navy blue eyeshadow just below the lower lashes that is also in the palette.

I love my colorful eyeshadows just as much as my neutral ones and I used the sugar pill palettes to create this fun and bright look. There are some days when I just want to wear colors especially when the winter blues hit. :)

That day I felt like wearing a simple neutral makeup look. This look can be worn every day and I think it would be nice to wear for work as well. I used the Tartlette palette from Tarte Cosmetics . You can read my review here.

I think out of all colorful eyeshadows to wear, purple is my favorite and also brings out the brown in my eyes. I like to incorporate purple with brown eyeshadow a lot because brown softens the look if you so not want to go bold on your eye makeup.. I used makeup geek's eyeshadows for this look. I wanted to keep the look simple and showcase the purple color on my lid so I didn't apply the liquid liner.

I debuted this look on my Motd ft. Lorac Pro 2 blog post which you can find here.  You can also find what colors I used in that blog post as well. I wanted to use cooler tone eyeshadows and came up with this soft smokey eye look. 

I created this look using the maya mia palette that I also did a review on. You can check that out here.  I wanted a soft peachy pink look and came up with this. I used a aqua blue color to give the makeup look a pop of color. I think this look would be nice to wear in the spring time.

I wanted to create a sultry eye makeup look. To achieve a sultry look you don't always have to go heavy on eye makeup. Sometimes the right color combo like a brown gray on the lid and  an orange brown eyeshadow on the crease will do just fine. When I go for a sultry look I do not want to add a liquid liner because I think its too much for day time wear. You can add the liquid liner to this look to create a night time look.

I hope you liked my eye looks and  I hope to create more makeup looks soon :)

If you would like you can follow me on instagram, pinterest and twitter for quick updates and pretty makeup pictures and eye looks.

See you lovelies in my next blogpost :)

Cotton Candy Inspired Makeup look.

        This look immediately reminds me of Cotton Candy. Cotton Candy makes an appearance the most   in the Summer time at carnivals or on  Board walks across beach. These days, you can even find them at the Mall or your local store(in bags). I remember seeing Pinks,Purples,Light Greens and Blues. To me all the Cotton Candy tasted the same, but that is beside the point lol. It is fluffy soft goodness that melts in your mouth. Cotton Candy was part of my child hood and this look brought me back to the days of sticky fingers and tummy aches. :) I wanted to create a Cotton Candy look and incorporate all of my favorite  Cotton Candy colors. Instead of using Pink in the inner corners, I wanted to add Yellow  I didn't want the whole look to be Pastel colors, so I added a bright yellow to make the look more fun. Well I hope you like this look and here is how to achieve a Cotton Candy eye.

Here is what I used:

-Bh Cosmetic 40 EyeShadow Party Girl Palette

-Too Faced Shadow Insurance Eye Primer

-Loreal Paris Voluminous Eyeliner in Black

-Loreal Linear Intense Liquid Eyeliner

-Loreal Voluminous Mascara

-Smashbox Eyeshadow brush

-Blending Brush from Bh Cosmetics

-Pencil Brush from Bh Cosmetics

Miscellaneous Brush used to apply color below water line.

Let's begin:

-First I started off with an eyelid primer and applied it all over the lid.

-For the Lid,  I used  #1 which is a really nice Mint Green and applied it all over my lid. At the end,you may need to re apply #1 to so you won't lose the Mint Green color.

-Next I applied Color #2. which is a Purple color in the crease. Blend out the color.

-On the outer corners, I used color # 3 which is a nice bright blue and extended it across my inner crease. Blend it out a little. 

-I then applied color #5(not 3*typo*) which is white for the brow bone. Blend here as well.

-Apply Black liquid eyeliner of your choice.

-Apply Black mascara of your choice.

-Apply  Black pencil eyeliner of your choice on your upper inner lash line.

-Apply Black eyeliner of your choice on your waterline.

-I wanted to add purple(#2) which is the same color that I used for the crease and applied it below my lower lash line.Make sure you apply eye primer before you apply the eyeshadow so it will stick.

-For the inner corners, I wanted to add a pop of bright color since the rest are pasteles. I used color #4 which is a nice bright yellow.

Here is the finished look:

You can use any palette with these colors and can switch around the sequence of colors. The possibilites for a Cotton Candy look are endless. This is just my version of it . Hope you liked this look. Have a great day everyone :)
