Berry Nice Tutorial For a Party!

Hello again everyone! Here's another blog tutorial that I'm going to do. This is a look I used to go for a holiday party. I think berry lips are a nice change from the classic red lips (even though I have red lipstick on at this very moment!)

So this blog tutorial will show you what I used
to achieve this look:



Before I get started I'm going to list the products
I used in this tutorial in the order of which I use
them:




EYES:
Too Faced Eyeshadow Insurance (not shown)
Kryolan UV Dayglo palette (I used the yellow color)
MAC's Chrome Yellow Eyeshadow
Mac's Goldmine Eyeshadow
Mac's Amber lights Eyeshadow
Mac's Vanilla Eyeshadow
bareMineral's Opal Eyeshadow
L'oreal's Carbon Black Lineur Intense
Palladio's Eyeliner in White
Maybelline's Greatlash Mascara

FACE:
Clinique's Even Better foundation in neutral
Clinique's Stay-Matte Sheer Pressed Powder in stay beige
Coastal Scent's blush, contour and highlight palette


LIPS:
Urban Decay's 24/7 lip liner in Envious
Clinique's Long Last Lipstick in Watermelon
MAC's Dazzleglass in Funtabulous


Now on with the blog tutorial!!


To use the Kryolan palette you have to wet the colors, sort of
like water colors. I used Visine to wet the yellow color and then
patted in on my lids.




































I hope you guys enjoyed the tutorial! & don't be shy! You can comment on my blogposts!

Finally a new post! Blog Tutorial!

Hello everyone! I can't believe how long it's been since I last posted! I've been so busy with finals and everything for school! But now I'm finally finished with this semester of school! Which hopefully means I'll be doing more blog posts! My mom got a puppy! She's wanted one for a while and finally decided to get one! It's name is Dexter! It's a pure bred Shih Tzu! 





Anyway, on to my blog tutorial!

This is look is a real simple look! 
Since I show you all the products I use in the pictures,
I won't list them on here!


A Quick Everyday Makeup Look:

Now before you put any makeup on your face you want
to moisturize your eyes, lips, and face. I didn't 
show the eye moisturizer, but I use Clinique All About Eyes
Rich. For lips, I use Nivea Rejuvenation.

 After you moisturized your eyes and used your eye primer,
put a color that's close to your skin tone all over your lids.
I'm using the 88 palette from Coastal Scents.




 For my waterline I  used Stila's Kajal Eyeliner in Topaz.
The color is more of a flesh tone and helps to brighten up 
the eyes and makes you look more awake!

 


 After,I line my eyes starting from the inner part of my
eyes then following outwards.
Curl the lashes! I use Shiseido's eyelash curler. For some reason
I like this one more than my Shu Uemura one!
 



Then add mascara! I layer the Telescopic mascara over the Hypnose
Drama one. TIP: You'll notice in some of the rest of my pictures that there's mascara on my lids, that's because I wait for the mascara to dry then I clean it up with a Q-tip to avoid the mascara from smudging.

So after I'm done with the eyes I move on to my foundation. 
I do my foundation after I do my eyes because I moisturize my 
face in the order of eyes, face, and lips and do my makeup
in the order of eyes, face, and lips. Also, doing my eye makeup
first allows time for my moisturizer to soak into my skin.

As you can see, my skin is not perfect so I use Clinique's Even Better foundation
to make it look better!

I stipple the foundation, then blend, blend, blend!



Then I conceal under my eyes with NYX concealer in Medium



















So that's the look! I hope you all enjoyed! This is my first blog
tutorial so it's probably not the best! Let me know if you guys liked it!
