Tutorial Tuesday - For Your Brown Eyes!

Today's tutorial is featuring my baby sister, who is gorgeous (in my opinion), but suffers from major redness on her cheeks, and doesn't really like to do her makeup as much as I do. Here is her before:

For Her Skin

1. I prepped her skin with my Ulta Matte Primer
2. With my Cover Girl Green Corrector Stick I covered her cheeks and other redness prone areas.  The green correcter stick counteracts with the redness so that it hides it underneath the foundation.
3. Using a {wet} makeup sponge, I patted  (not smeared) her face with Maybelline FitMe Foundation in 240 
4. Using a loose translucent powder, and a big powder brush, I lightly covered her face to set the liquid foundation

For Her Eyes

1. I prepped her eyes with Urban Decay's Primer Potion
2. Using my flat eyeshadow brush I dabbed UD's Bordello in the corners of each eye and bring it 1/3 of the way towards the outer corner of her eye on her lash line
3. Using my eyeshadow brush I pressed UD's Kush in the middle of her eyes and on the middle bottom of her lash line (so that it mirrors the top)
4. Using my round {pencil} crease brush I swirled UD's Rockstar in the outer corner of her eyes and working my way in to the crease of her lid. 
5. Using my fluffy crease brush I continued to blend Rockstar to fade the color all the way to the brow bone
6. Using my angled blender brush I brushed UD's Bordello to blend all the colors to prevent any harsh lines
7. Using my MAC Eye Kohl liner in Smolder I lined her upper & lower lash lines
8. Using my Marbella Permanent Eyeliner pen in Black I lined her upper lid with wings on each end
9. I topped her off with two applications of blinc mascara in Black

Finishing the Face

Cheeks

• I used Mary Kay creme blush in Sheer Bliss and Mark powder blush in Charmed

Lips

• I lined her lips with Mac lip pencil in Spice
• I topped her lips off with Mac lipstick and lipglass in Viva Glam V

Contour/Highlight

• Contoured with E.L.F. bronzer in Warm Tan
• Highlighted with Benefit High Beam

Thank you to my awesome sister for letting me play makeover!!

Jennifer Nettles Inspired ACMA Look

Ok so I know it has been a while since i have gotten you all a new make up look, but i have been sooo sick!

I was relaxing 2 Sunday's ago flipping through so TV (which is rare for me) and saw the Academy of Country Music Awards.  On there was the beautiful Jennifer Nettles with a smokey purple eye look.  But it was different in that it kind of faded to the inner corner with the one dark purple on the outside.  So, I have recreated the look for you guys.  Mine however is inspired, and not necessarily exactly alike.  But, it is super easy to do! 

Here is what I used:

• All over the eye lid staying heavy in the corner tear ducts, my NYX Jumbo Eye Pencil in Lavender.
• Next I used my Stila, Moxie Eyeshadow with a medium sized crease brush.  Starting from the outer corner of the eye blending the shadow in to the middle of the eye.  Concentrating heavily on the outer corner and softening the look the further inward you go.  I also used Moxie under the bottom lash line about 3/4's of the way
• Then I swept and blended Urban Decay's Bordello above the moxie and to the bottom of my brow
• Last I took Uzi by Urban Decay to highlight the bottom arch of my brow
• I also used my MAC eyeliner pencil in Smoulder and lined my bottom water line 3/4 of the way
• Then I used my MARK. Get in the line liquid eyeliner in Painted Black for a VERY VERY thin line on the top lashes
• I topped off the eyes with my Tarina Tarintino Mascara, 2 coats
• For the Cheeks I kept with the "Faded" look by using my CoverGirl Tru Cheeks I used the peachy pink on the cheek bones leaving it heavier towards the hair line and lightening up as I move in toward the apples of my cheeks.  On the apples of my cheeks sweeping back I used a light pale pink

• For the lips I used Rimmel lipstick in Crush which is a light coral shade and topped it with a frosted nude which I used from MAC lipgelee in Resort Life

Here is the video to see how to do the look! Enjoy!

Sephora Series I - Classics Never Die

As the title of this second to last palette states, classics never die.  Classic colors have been used for numerous decades and it seems to be the same colors over and over again.  The only difference is the application.  This time I forgot to take pictures to add for more views so sorry about that, but here is the video!

Enjoy!
