    Neutral Cut Crease w/ a *POP* of Color!

    Hi everyone! Today I felt like experimenting with something I've only ever done once before...the cut crease! I had done it before on a model for a photoshoot (I posted the pictures here), but haven't tried again since then. I also needed to post another tutorial on my youtube channel, and I...

    Neutral Cut Crease w/ a *POP* of Color!

    I thought I would try something a little more complicated...I've only ever done cut crease once before so I'm sorry if this was unclear at all. I'd be happy to answer any questions you might have. This look was actually inspired by Louise Rowe from that new TV show Plain Jane...she wore...

    April 6th Photoshoot - Alice in Wonderland inspired + 2 really bold looks

    Finally, an update! haha. A friend of mine who is majoring in photography asked me to collaborate with her a couple of days ago. It wasn't really PLANNED, as in it didn't really have a theme, so that's why the makeup doesn't really match up. She just told me to have fun and do what I wanted. so...

    Hey everyone! Just wanted to share my little E.L.F Haul from today. We got a bunch of stuff in at my work (Winners) and I was just dying to try a few things out, so I bought the ones I was most interested in. It would have worked out to about the same as ordering it online, anyways. I got: -...

    Small MAC Haul w/ swatches :)

    Hey everyone! I haven't been buying much makeup lately, but last week when I was looking at the mac website, I bought a few things on a whim. I really wanted fleshpot lipstick, and somehow my underage l/g went missing so I really wanted to get those. I added a few more things on to get free...

    A more serious photoshoot: Colorful/Grungy/Graffiti

    I decided to get more use out of my new camera, so I got my best friend and another girl named steph together and drove around to find some good places to shoot. We originally had wanted to go to the graffiti gallery, so as I was looking for a place to park I mistakenly took a wrong turn and...

    Had a photoshoot for fun in my backyard! (PIC HEAVY)

    My friend Brittany and I decided to have a photoshoot in my backyard for fun yesterday...the photos surprisingly turned out really nice! (most of them, anyways lol) The reason I wanted to do the shoot in the first place was because I had just bought a new Canon Rebel last weekend and I so badly...

    Two more grad looks! Smokey browns and purples with a little twist ;)

    Hey guys! I did two more grad makeovers on Monday, just thought I'd share! They both looked gorgeous! [ Amanda ] This one was by far my favourite, it had a really pretty pop of a light tealy green (Shimmermoss) on the lower lash line, and the silver glitter on the inner corners. Turned out...

    I had an interview at Sephora today!

    Since I haven't posted in a couple of days, I suppose I haven't mentioned that I applied at Sephora! I ended up getting a call back right away and I had my interview today! I was sooo nervous, but I think it went well! It was one on one, I brought my hard copy of my portfolio and she seemed...

    And you're all alone hearing your own damn e-e-echo! - smokey green EOTD :)

    So I thought my search for the perfect base was over...but I was wrong! My provici base is starting to crease on me, and it's really frustrating. I'm going to give it one more shot, I may be putting too much of it on or something. We will see! I bought UDPP anyways, and I have a feeling I won't...

    Ven aqui, let's get closer, and closer! - Purple FOTD

    Sephora just opened up at one of the malls here last weekend, and I hadn't gotten a chance to check it out yet...until today! I have to admit, I was a good girl and talked myself out of EVERYTHING I was interested in. I don't have a job atm and am very short on cash...however, I did stop by the...

    Bronze smokey eye gone wrong..?

    I have no idea what went wrong here, but this was SUPPOSED to be a bronze smokey eye...I think the base color I used was too light for me, though! It turned out pretty nice in the end, anyways. Unfortunately, the close up pictures don't do it any justice! They were taken in natural light, but it...

    I'm on a roll with my FOTDs here! - teal look

    I haven't been bothering with makeup very much lately, mainly because I have been lazy. The second reason was because I kept getting frustrated as my eye shadows would NEVER show up as vibrant as I'd like, and they would fade within several hours. I tried paint pots as a base, benefit lemon-aid...
