  1. Take a matte white and apply all over the lid for a smooth service.

 

 2. Take a medium warm toned brown and apply it in the crease. 

3. Take a black shadow and blend it into the crease.

4. Take a cooler toned brown and blend the edges of the black out creating a diffused smoky look. 

5. Take a glitter glue and apply it in the crease. 

6. Take a flat brush and apply any silver (cosmetic grade) glitter you would like on top. 

7. Clean up the edges of the glitter with more of the light skin toned shadow. Apply mascara and liner.

Your look is done! 

Good, Glam, Gross? Benefit hydra-smooth lip color.

Good, Glam, Gross  Benefit Hydra-smooth lip color

The Price:   $19.00

Amount:   0.11 oz

Pros:   The lipsticks are creamy, moisturizing, and extremely comfortable on the lips. The color payoff is a tad sheer, which gives a very natural healthy look to the lips. I like the way the lipstick is formed.

Cons:   The packaging is a tad bulky.

Verdict: Glam! These lipsticks feel like a dream on the lip. I tend to forget that I am wearing lipstick! The color payoff is more of a sheer lipstick, which I don't mind in this case. The price is a little high for a lipstick, but they are worth it!

Tips:  Line the lips for a longer lasting color. Make sure to bring the lipstick along if you are going out, because you will need touch ups!

Two Non-traditional Christmas Looks!

Non-Traditional Christmas Looks!

Look One: Halo Eye and Orange lip.

 1. I already applied my foundation in this. If you would like an updated foundation and contour tutorial I will do one.  ( Urban Decay All - Nigher foundation is what I am wearing).
2. Prime your eyes ( I used a Hard Candy liquid eye shadow in the color ditch). 

3. Take the shade Side Car from the Naked palette ( or any metallic brown) and apply to your crease with a fluffy brush in a diffused manner. 
4. Take the shade Sassy Bun from the Swamp Queen Palette ( or a warm gold) and apply it directly to the center of the lid. 
5. Going back to the Naked palette use the shade Dark Horse (A dark brown metallic shade). Plase this in the inner corner and the outer corner.
6. Blend it in, making sure to avoid the middle section where we placed Sassy Bun.  ( This creates the halo effect.   
7. With the shade Side Car smoke the color out on the bottom lash line.
8. Apply liner to the inner rim ( I used a wet n' wild one). 
9. Apply liner and mascara and move on to the lips!  ( I used the Kat Von D Tattoo liner and the Better than Sex makeup). 
10. I finished the rest of my makeup and applied the Smashbox liquid lipstick in Drivers Seat. 

Look Two: Gold, Olive, and Burgundy. 

1.  As mentioned in before start with your foundation and whatever primer you would like to use. If you don't have any primer just place a dab of your concealer on your eye and set it with a skin tone powder.
2. Take the Shade Goldmine ( Urban Decay Vice Reloaded) and place it all over the lid.
3. Take the shade Suspend from the same pallet and blend it into the crease and outer corner. 
4. Take the shade Goldmine again and place it directly on the lower lash line.
5. I first took a black eyeliner and sketched out a small wing ( Marc Jacobs).  Using an angled eyeliner brush I smoked it out.
6. Using the same angled eyeliner brush I took an olive green eyeliner and smoked that out over top of the black. This gave a darker green eyeliner look. 
7. Apply mascara. 
8. For the lip color I mixed NYX Lingerie Embellisment with NYX Suede Vintage to get a grey toned burgundy.  


(You can recreate this look without having the exact makeup that I used).
