What I Have Been Up To

Hi! It has been awhile since I've written on my blog. I can't believe I am getting over a 100 views! I was not expecting to see that. If you are wondering where I am, I've been focusing on making Youtube videos. I am still learning how to edit, so the quality is not the greatest. You might find it fun to get ready with me, as I put on makeup and show how I do things. I've been putting on makeup on my mom who is 70 year old, which is really fun for me to have a different face than my own to work on, and it is more of a challenge.

I invite you to come to my Youtube channel and check out my videos. I've been posting a lot of makeup videos for summertime makeup.

This is an easy and pretty makeup look. That is my latest video.

This is a video I made with my mom putting on her makeup!

Autumn Makeup Look Inspired by Tanya Burr

This is a look I copied from an old Tanya Burr video. It was really simple to do. Here are the steps...

1. MAC Vanilla, warm beige with satin finish, under the eyebrows. I used Too Faced White Peach from the Sweet Peach Palette

2. MAC Patina, warm gold with frost finish, eye lid. I used the 2nd eye shadow color from Wet 'n Wild Nude Awakening Palette. This was a limited edition palette, but you might have it like I do.

3. MAC Satin Taupe, warm taupe with frost finish, outer 1/2 of eyelid and outer part of the crease. I used The Balm Nude'tude Palette in the color Selfish.

4. Blend out the edges.

5. Bronzer in the crease. I used Benefit Hoola Bronzer.

6. Liquid Liner, upper lash line

7. Mascara

Lipstick: Revlon Ultra HD Matte Lip Color in Addiction

Here is the video I made of when I applied my makeup. I think it's fun watching people put on their makeup. Somehow it is relaxing to me.

EOTD: Navy

This is what I did:

1. Matte, brownish orange in the crease.

2. Matte, dark brown on outer 1/3 of lid into the crease.

3. Matte, brownish orange blend out the crease.

4. Matte, cream under brows.

5. Frosty, medium-dark blue on the lid and precisely against the lower lash line.

6. Use the brownish orange color to blend out the lower lash line, and blend out the blue on the lid.

7. I used a matte black shadow to make the wing and line the upper lash line.

I was really impressed at how nice my lashes looked today. I used the Urban Decay Mascara Primer in Subversion.

FOTD: Eyeshadow Wings

My Eye Look

1. I put tape on the side of my eye at an angle.

2. On the lid and the crease with a fluffy brush I put a matte beige shadow.

3. On the outer portion by the tape with a fluffy brush I put a matte medium warm brown.

4. Then I used the matte beige shadow to blend it out.

5. I used a pencil brush with the matte medium brown right along the tape.

6. Next I used a matte black with the pencil brush right along the tape.

7. I put the matte beige in the crease again.

8. I put the warm brown on the outer 2/3 of my lower lash line.

9. Then I put the matte beige on the inner 1/3 of the lower lash line.

10. I put a warm golden copper metallic shadow on my lid.

11. Then I put a matte cream under my eyebrows.

12. I took the tape off.

13. I put a brown eye liner in the outer 1/2 of my waterline.

14. I put a highlight in my tear ducts.

15. Curled my lashes, mascara primer, and mascara.

On My Cheeks

1. For blush I wore a warm peach with a frost finish.

2. For highlight I wore a light golden champagne with a pearly sheen.

On My Lips

1. I lined my lips with a nude lip liner.

2. My lipstick is a matte lipstick.

EOTD: Wearable Turquoise

I feel like turquoise doesn't always look good on me, but this look turned out pretty. I think it has to do with the brown in the crease. I put some mascara primer on my lashes today, and it really made my lashes look nice I think.

Here is what I did: 

1. I wet my brush, and applied a medium-dark, aqua-blue with a golden sheen to my lids.

2. Medium, matte tan in the crease

3. Dark, matte brown in the outer 1/3 of the lid, outer part of the crease, and the lower lash line. I tried to stay away from the tear duct, so my eyes would look more open.

Pretty easy look. It was a nice day time look, and the pop of turquoise kept it looking summery to me.

EOTD: Fuchsia and Orange

Here is what I did:

1. Frosty, purply pink on the lid

2. Shimmery orange in the crease

3. Frosty warm brown, in the outer v, outer crease, and lower lash line

4. Matte, pinky brown to blend out the lower lash line

I think it's a fun summertime look.

EOTD: Everyday for Work or School

This is what I did.

1. Shimmery champagne in the center of the lid.

2. Frosted peach in the inner 1/3 of the lid and tearduct.

3. Shimmery dark brown on outer 1/3 of lid and outer 2/3 of lower lash line.

4. Frosted, metallic warm toned taupe in the crease to blend out dark brown color.

5. Brown eye liner on upper lash line. I did a slight flick, but this is unnecessary.

EOTD: Sparkly Purple Eyes

This is what I did:

1. Frosty, pink on my lid

2. Frosty, eggplant on my crease and outer lid. I blended it, so there were no harsh lines.

3. I mixed the pink and the eggplant, and put it on my lower lash line.

4. Glittery mauve I patted on the lid for the glitter effect.

EOTD: Smoky Green Eyes

These are the steps I took to make this eye look.

1. Matte, peach on and above my crease with a fluffy brush.

2. Frosty, peach shade on the inner corner of my eye. All around my tear duct, and the inner 1/3 of the eye. 

3. Sparkly, medium yellow green in the middle of the lid, blended into the frosty peach shade. 

4. Sparkling, forest green shadow in the outer 1/3 of the lid. I blended out all harsh lines in between the three colors and above the crease. 

5. Frosty, dark green, almost teal color in the outer crease and above the crease. I blended this out with a big fluffy brush. 

6. I put the same dark green on my lower lash line.

7. I first used a black eye liner to go on my upper lash line, but I didn't like the way it looked. I wanted to smoke it out, but I wasn't able to do that very well with the liner I used. I recommend using a matte black shadow because it would be able to blend out easier. I put it on the outer, upper lash line.

8. Black eye liner on waterline.

9. Black/brown mascara on the top lashes.

EOTD: Sparkly Brown Eyes

 

This is what I did.

1. I put a frosty, metallic, bronzy brown all over my lid.

2. Matte, warm, medium brown in the crease. I blended out the lid shade with that color. Then because I have slightly hooded eyes, I brought the brown higher than my crease and blended it up.

3. I tried something new on this step. I took a dark, matte, cool toned brown and on the lower lash line but it on the outer third. Then, I swept it up at an angle. The same direction my lower lash line goes if it were to extend more. Then I connected it up with my crease. I filled in the outer v I created on the outer part of my lid. I blended it into the lid and above the crease so I had no harsh lines.

4. I put a bright, sparkly, golden peach shade on my tear ducts and under my brows.

5. I also put a dab of a warm, champagne, frosty, metallic shade on the tear ducts, and just the arch of the eyebrows.

The sparkly shadows didn't look overdone at all. I think it made the look more interesting, rather than a normal brown eye. It just made it look a little more pretty in my opinion.

6. My favorite part of this look was the shimmery, warm copper I put in the center of the lid. You can get this at the drugstore. It is L'Oreal Infallible Eye Shadow in Amber Rush. It is one of my all-time favorite eye shadows.

7. I tight lined my upper and lower waterlines with a black eye liner. I used Jordana 12 Hr. Made to Last Liquid Eye Liner Pencil in Black Point. This goes on well on my waterlines. It is also available at the drugstore.

8. For the final step, I put a rose gold eye liner on my upper and lower lash line. NYX makes a pretty rose gold liner.
