Season Mini Series: Autumn

So I have started a mini series (seeing how there's only four seasons) and I'm starting with Autumn. When I think of Autumn I think of golds, dark greens, and browns...

After putting a primer on I used Physician's Formula Shimmer Strips Custom Eye Enhancing Gel CreamLiner Glam Brown Eyes in gold for a base. After I had that all over the lid I placed Urban Decay Half Baked on top. Next I mixed Urban Decay Homegrown and Misdemeanor (from the Book of Shadows Vol. II) on the crease with Homegrown towards the inner crease. Then I took Urban Decay Twice Baked into the socket bone to create a little bit more dimension. After that I took the Physician's Formula CreamLiner in Black on the upper lashline and the brown on the lower lashline, then added Maybelline Volum' Express The Falsies on the lashes, and your eyes are done, and for blush I used Benefit Dallas and that all for the look!

For questions or comments please feel free to post below!

Bright Pop of Color for Spring!

There is nothing better than a quick and easy look, that adds just a pop of color! Usually in Spring and Summer I'm not one to wear a lot of makeup due to the fact it gets quite humid in Georgia, and I'm usually ready to get out of the house! And the best part is this look is using completely drug store products! And this look will also last ALL day long!

Now before I put my foundation on I used L'Oreal Studio Secrets Professional Magic Perfecting Base all over my face, including on my eyelids. Then I used L'Oreal True Match Super Blendable Makeup, which is the foundation I use everday. Onto the eyes I used Neutrogena Nourishing Eye Quad in Sea Shell 140/Taupes, which I think is discontinued, but the Sea Biscuit would probably be the closest. And I followed the back of the shadows to create that eye look. For the upper lash liner I used Wet N Wild Mega Liner in Turquoise. I made the liner quite thick and dramatic, because this is where the pop comes from.  For mascara I used Maybelline Volum' Express The Falsies. And of course for the lower lashline I used L'Oreal Lineue Intense liquid liner. For blush I used Physician's Formula Happy Booster Glow & Mood Boosting Blush in Natural. And lastly for lips I used NYX Mega Shine Lip Gloss in Pop 156.

If anyone has any questions or comments please let me know! Also, my cousin came up with an idea to do team color looks, so if you have a favorite sports team let me know, and I'll do a look with that team!



Element: Water

Next in the Element series is Water. Water was so fun, because there's so many colors associated with water. I went more for an ocean type of water.  With this look I used only colors from the E.L.F 100 palette!

First of course put Too Faced Shadow Insurance all over the lid. Then I took a light blue on the inner half of the lid

Then I used a light green on the outer half of the lid

Then I used a dark purple and dark blue for the crease

Then to add a bit more demension I added a mermaid green to the outer corner

On the lower lashline I added a true blue color

For the brow highlight I used a matte white and for the tear duct I added NYX Jumbo Eye Pencil in Milk, blended it out and then added a light blue with some shimmer

For mascara I used Maybelline Volum' Express One by One in Very black, L'Oreal Lineur Intense liquid liner in Black. For blush I used Neutrogena Mineral Sheers in Rare Rose and for lips I used CO Bigelow Mentha Lip Tint No. 1136

Purple and Green For Green and Brown Eyes

This look was very simple, but I love it. It sort of reminded me of a Barbie doll, in fact I was actually told that. There was very minimal color used, so it was quite fast as well.  To look at Leesha's tutorial go here: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=g6PeusqTtJU

Even though this looks almost completely pink, there's actually some purple, in fact the main color is purple. And for more vibrant color, you could actually use a purple or white eye shadow base. After I used Too Faced Shadow Insurance I used a mid-toned purple from the E.L.F 100 palette.

I put that all over my lid, and then added a pink color with a fluffly brush.

After I blended those colors out a bit, I added Urban Decay's 24/7 Eye Pencil in Flipside, and then added Homegrown from the Urban Decay Book of Shadows Vol. II. Then I added NYX Jumbo Eye Pencil in Milk to my inner corners, and set it with a white eyeshadow, and then added my favorite white eyeshadow with pink shimmer to highlight my brow.

For eyeliner I used L'Oreal Lineur Intense liquid liner in Black. For mascara I used Maybelline's Volum' Express One by One in Very Black. Neutrogena Mineral Sheers in Rare Rose for blush and Cover Girl Wetslicks AmazeMint in Tickled Pink on the lips, and there you have a quick and easy Barbie-esque look!
