So this is a really pretty glamorous look I found on Youtube by MakeupByAlli. You can use whatever bright lip you want. This is what I did to copy the look...
1. Face primer
2. Foundation with a sponge. Wet the sponge and then squeeze out the excess. Don't use a dry sponge.
3. Concealer on lid. It works better for me if I use an eye primer, but for some people concealer can work as a primer.
4. She used Mac Blanc Type all over the lid. I used Too Faced Semi-Sweet Chocolate Bar in Coconut Creme.
5. She used Makeup Geek Creme Brûlée in the crease and a little above so you can see it when your eye is open. I used Too Faced Chocolate Bar in Salted Caramel. She put this on the lower lash line too.
6. Next, she used Makeup Geek Beaches and Cream to blend out the edges of Creme Brûlée. This is a warm, matte peach shade.
7. She put Creme Brûlée on the outer lid.
8. Colour Pop Note to Self on outer lid and outer crease in a v shape and on the lower lash line. I used Too Faced Semi-Sweet Chocolate Bar Palette in Peanut Butter.
9. Wet Brush and she applied a golden highlight.
10. Concealer
11. Powder
12. Bronzer
11. Use the golden highlighter you put on your eyes on your face to highlight the parts you want to highlight.
12. A bright matte lippie. I went for a matte red/orange lipstick, Wet 'n Wild Salsa Lessons.
This is a look by Summer Mckeen. I really like her personality. She seems really chill and down to earth. She looks like a model, I'm not sure if she is one or not. This look was soo simple, but it looks up to date and perfect for the summer. She used the Too Faced Sweet Peach Palette. I don't have that palette, so I used my own shadows to create the look. Also, she was sponsored by Sephora and used all products from there. I'll show you what I did.
1. Moisturizer, I used one with SPF in it.
2. Eyebrows. I don't really have a lot of eye brow products. So you can use whatever you use to do your brows. I took a matte brown shadow to fill in my brows in a really, really natural way. I want my eyebrows to look natural.
3. Face Primer. I like to use Dr. Brandt's Pore's No More because of my pores and to keep my skin matte
4. Concealer, under eyes and any redness you have
5. Foundation
6. I put on powder, but she skipped this step.
7. Too Faced Chocolate Soleil Bronzer or any matte bronzer you like
8. Rosey blush. I used Milani Blush in Romantic Rose 01.
9. Golden highlight on top of cheeks, temples, above eyebrows
10. Milani Eye Shadow Primer. She skipped eye primer.
11. Sweet Peach Palette by Too Faced. She mixed Puree and Summer Yum for her crease shade. I used Peanut Butter from my Too Faced Semi-Sweet Chocolate Bar Palette. She put it on her lid and crease.
12. She used the shade Luscious for her inner 2/3 of lids and on the tear ducts. I used a warm coppery frost color. You can also use a metallic coppery shade. Sometimes it helps to use your finger instead of a brush if you want it to stand out more.
13. She used a black waterproof eye liner on her upper lash line with no wings. I used a dark brown, matte eye shadow with a precise eye liner brush.
14. Curl lashes and apply mascara.
15. She used a natural looking matte nude color. It was Sephora Collection Rouge Lip Tint. I used a matte liquid lipstick.
16. To finish off she sprayed a setting spray all over her face. It's supposed to make the makeup last longer, sort of the same idea has hair spray. I didn't do this because I currently don't have one.
My mom and I rented this a few days ago. It is so good. The music, the acting, the story, the way everything looks. It is a piece of art in my opinion. I really recommend it. I feel like this will be a classic in the future.
I really loved Wonder Woman. I remember when I was really little in the early 80's watching Wonder Woman. For Halloween when I was 3 years old I dressed up as her. This movie inspired me, and made me feel empowered. I know not everyone liked it for different reasons, but I thought it was really beautiful. It also reminded me of my grandpa who fought in WWII. In this movie Wonder Woman fights the nazis and ultimately she fights the god of war, Ares.
These are all my favorite things that I'm currently using that exist in the bathroom.
1. Shampoo and Conditioner by Garner Fructis Full & Plush Paragon-free Fortifying with Pomegranate for fine or flat hair for visibly fuller hair. And it is supposed to make your hair stronger.
2. Skintimate Island Berry Breeze Shave Gel for moisturizing. It has vitamin e and olive butter. I like the way it smells too.
3. Dial Coconut Water. This is a great hydrating body wash that smells like coconut. I use a loofah with it. It is really refreshing to me.
4. Philosophy Purity One-Step Facial Cleanser. It's a nice, simple face wash.
5. Clean & Clear Morning Burst Facial Cleanser. Sometimes I use this it has little scrubby beads in it and cucumber extracts. It is also oil-free. I use my wash cloth to help exfoliate my skin.
6. Freeman Facial Exfoliating Scrub in Pink Grapefruit. It exfoliates, smooths, and renews your face. It smells really good too.
7. Up & Up Eye Makeup Remover Liquid. This is a dupe for Neutrogena Oil-Free Eye Makeup Remover. I get this at Target. You shake it up and remove your eye makeup gently.
8. Adapalene Gel. I got this from a dermatologist. You just need a little bit to put on pimples.
9. Sensodyne Pronamel Toothpaste. This is a little baby sample from my dentist.
10. Oral-B Satin Floss. I like this floss because it fits between my teeth well.
1. Body Fantasies Signature in Cotton Candy: This is a fragrance body spray you can get at Walgreens. It smells so sweet.
2. Vera Wang Princess: I think I got this from a drugstore like Rite Aid. It has cute packaging it is a glass bottle in the shape of a heart and the lid is a jeweled crown and a ring underneath it. It smells sweet, fruity, vanilla, cacao, and white floral.
3. Viva La Juicy from Juicy Couture: I got this from Sephora. It has a sweet and fruity smell to it too. I like the packaging on it also. I've had these perfumes for a long time.
1. Beauty Secrets Non-Acetone Nail Polish Remover. This is a gentle professional formula that is safe for natural or artificial nails. I got this from Sally's Beauty Store. It works really well and you get a lot.
2. Seche Clear Base Coat. I also got this from Sally's.
3. China Glaze Nail Polish in Flip Flop Fantasy. I currently am wearing this on my fingers and toes. It's a bright almost neon coral polish.
4. Sally Hansen Hard as Nails Xtreme Wear Nail Color in 420 Pacific Blue. This is a regular blue polish that I think looks cool in the summertime.
These are some of the brushes I've been using a lot. (From left to right)
1. Sigma Large Angled Contour F40 Brush. I use this to apply blush. The bristles are soft.
2. Sigma Large Powder F30 Brush. I use this to apply powder all over face.
3. Real Techniques Base Shadow Brush. This is an excellent brush to apply crease eye shadow. I think Stephanie Ledda uses it also in her videos I've noticed her use it.
4. The Balm Give Crease A Chance Brush: This is a two sided brush. The brushes are very large, so they are great for blending stuff out.
5. Elf Small Tapered Brush: I like this for highlighting and you can use it with powder to gently set under eyes. It is inexpensive and a good quality brush that has lasted a long time.
6. Real Techniques Buffing Brush: You can apply foundation with this or powder. These brushes are all good quality and soft on the skin. They have lasted me awhile.
7. Real Techniques Contour Brush: I use this to apply bronzer or I contour with it.
8. Sigma Flat Kabuki F80 Brush: I use this to buff in foundation and concealer. And I also use my fingers if there are any brush strokes. I can make it look more natural.
9. Real Techniques Sponge: I sometimes use this to blend out foundation and concealer. It sort of depends on how I'm feeling. I have had the beauty blender and I feel like this works just as well, and it is an inexpensive alternative.
*I'm not sponsored by any of these brands. I have purchased all this stuff, they were not pr packages sent to me for free.
1. First, I cleanse my hands with a hand sanitizer. This is Magic Mirror OCD Hand Sanitizer from Fortune Cookie.
2. Mario Badescu Facial Spray with aloe, herbs, and rosewater. This is a refreshing spray to put on face before you put on any lotion or makeup. It makes your skin moist, so everything goes on better. This is sold at Ulta now.
3. Dr. Brandt Pores No More. This is a face primer. It minimizes the look of pores, absorbs oil, and mattifies shine. I put this on all the parts of my face that have noticeable pores, and where I don't want it to be shiny. I got a baby sample from Ulta.
4. Revlon Colorstay Foundation for Normal/Dry Skin. I love this foundation for matching my skin color well, feels good on my type of skin, and it lasts a long time. It covers what I want to be covered, and it is from the drugstore.
5. Wet 'n Wild Photo Focus Concealer. I like this because it feels good under the eye, and it works well. It doesn't everything you want a concealer to do. It was inexpensive, and Wet 'n Wild is cruelty free.
6. Rimmel Stay Matte Powder in 001 Transparent. I have used this powder for a long time. I keep buying the same one. It is a simple, good powder that does it's job. It never makes you look cakey. It is good to set your face with powder because if you use a powder bronzer/blush it will go on better.
These are some of my favorite eye shadows and palettes. I use Milani Eye Shadow Primer as a primer for my lids. You just need a little bit and gently put on with your ring finger to not cause wrinkles. It just needs to be a little bit tacky. This works better for me than the more expensive primers.
1. Lorac Pro Palette: This has 8 mattes and 8 shimmery eye shadows all in nice colors.
2. Too Faced Chocolate Bar: My favorite shades are Salted Caramel, Marzipan, Semi-Sweet, Milk Chocolate, Creme Brûlée, and Champagne Truffle.
3. Semi Sweet Chocolate Bar by Too Faced: My favorite shades in this palette is Peanut Butter and Mousse.
4. Anastasia of Beverly Hills Modern Renaissance Palette. This is a great palette for the warm reds, oranges, golds, and dark browns. My favorite shades are Raw Sienna, Burnt Orange, Vermeer, Primavera, Realgar, and Cyprus Umber. A lot of the names of the eye shadow is based on what was used in the renaissance to make paints for the beautiful renaissance paintings.
5. Stila's Kitten. It's a pretty shimmery color for the lid.
6. L'Oreal Infallible Eye Shadow in Amber Rush. This is a pretty coppery/rose gold shade for the lid.
This is one of my favorite songs right now. It's called Hope In Front of Me by Danny Gokey.
Interesting. Another song I loved this song called "I Have This Hope" by Tenth Avenue North.
I hope you liked going through my current favorites. What was your favorite in June? What are you grateful for?
This is copying Stephanie Ledda again. I love her and her looks. Whenever she posts anything on Youtube I get so excited to watch. I feel like she does pretty looks and they are up to date. I don't have her coloring. I am really porcelain colored with freckles, but I did this look anyway for the fun of it. This look is using reds and oranges. To find my dupes I used Temptalia's website mainly.
1. Sauced in the crease. I used Too Faced Peanut Butter.
2. He Devil in the crease. I used Anastasia of Beverly Hills Modern Renaissance Palette in Realgar.
3. En Feugo in the outer v. I used ABH Red Ochre.
4. Sauced in crease again
5. Blend everything out.
6. Sauced and He Devil lower lash line
7. Chaser under the brow, blend out top of crease. I used Stila's Clay from In the Know Palette
8. Ounce under brow. I used ABH Renaissance Palette, Vermeer.
9. Scorched, I sprayed brush with water and got Garnet from Lorac Pro Palette onto lid.
10. I used a Wet 'n Wild purple eye shadow for my lower lash line. It was matte because I don't have a purple eye liner.
12. Too Faced Chocolate Soleil Bronzer on top of forehead, temples, cheeks, nose to make me look like I have a little bit of a tan
13. She used a medium rosy brown, matte blush. I made my own blush using my bronzer and The Balm's Instain Blush in Houndstooth.
14. Golden highlight: top of cheekbones, above eyebrows where there is the arch, top of nose, cupid's bow and tear ducts.
15. Maybelline Nude Lip Liner. I used the Maybelline Lip Liner in Raisin.
16. She used Tarte Beach Babe Lipstick. It is light-medium, peachy-pink with warm undertones and a cream finish. I duped it with Blushing Beige Lipstick by Maybelline.
This look was fun to create, but I feel like sometimes looks with lots of reds and oranges can make your eyes look sore, but it also can look really pretty so it's a toss up. The colors do go with the season though and I think I heard that these colors look good with any eye color.
The concealer I am really liking is Photo Finish Concealer by Wet 'n Wild. I get the lightest shade. And for lashes I used L'Oreal's Paradise Mascara and black brown. It works really well.
This is a look she just recently put up on her Youtube channel. I didn't have the same stuff she had in order to make it a sweat proof summer look, but it is still pretty. Some Summer days aren't that hot for some of us. If you want the full sweat proof look go watch her video here: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=WXB5BrBCMeI.
1. Moisturizer with SPF
2. Foundation, I used Revlon Colorstay for Normal to Dry skin and applied with my hands. You can use whatever foundation works for you.
3. Concealer, Spray a sponge with water and blot it out so it blends in.
4. Set with powder. Dab on top of concealer. Powder any area you need to set like t-zone and wherever you put the concealer.
5. Bronzer: Contour, temples, top of forehead, side of nose if you want to. I didn't contour my nose.
And I used Benefit's Hoola Bronzer. Use a matte one I think is best.
6. Matte Blush with colors like dark pink, coral, light pink. She mixed them all together and made her own blush. I used Hard Candy Fox in a Box Blush.
7. Use the same bronzer you used on your face in the crease of your eye. I used a fluffy brush by Real Techniques in circular motions and lower lash line. Blend it out.
8. She used a bronze stick on the lid and blended out with finger. You could use NYX Jumbo Eye Pencil in French Fries for a cheaper alternative.
9. Shimmery champagne color in the inner corner. I used Stila's Kitten. If you want it to last longer you can use a pencil like she did or you can use whatever shimmery champagne e/s you have.
10. Mascara
11. Golden highlight, c motion on top of cheekbones, up on the temples curved towards above the brows and the tip of the nose. I like The Balm's Mary Lou Manizer. Use whatever highlight you want to.
12. She used a rosy nude lip liner to line and fill in her lips. I used Maybelline 40 Raisin Lip Liner. I think that would be a cheaper alternative than the one she used.
13. Nude Gloss: She used Groovy by Bare Minerals which is a soft pinky beige one. I think you could use any gloss you wanted and still get a pretty effect like her's.
This is a pretty glowy look by this woman on Youtube. I copied it, and used my makeup that I had. You can use whatever works for you.
1. I used an Estee Lauder SPF lotion.
2. Dr. Brandt Pore's No More on my visible pores.
3. Milani's Eye Primer, just a little bit gently put on my eye lids.
4. Anastasia of Beverly Hills Makeup Palette in Modern Renaissance: Tempera eye shadow, from lashes to brow. It's a light matte shade to match lighter skin tones, and it will set your primer.
5. Use scotch tape to angles of eyes. From lower lash line to end of eye brow. You might want to see video to see how she does it. When you are done with the eye look, and you take the tape off you can see a pretty angle on your eyes that looks cool.
6. From same palette. All the eye shadows used are going to be from this same palette. She took Burnt Orange, crease, fluffy brush, circular motions.
7. Realgar, matte dark orange, on outside of the lid right next to tape and under crease shade. Blend everything together really well.
8. Primavera all over lid
9. She put glitter on the lid, but I didn't. I used my Mary Lou Manizer from The Balm and put it on my lid with my finger.
10. Line upper lash line, no wing with brown liquid liner, I used physician's formula one. She used black, but I used brown because I think it looks better on me.
11. Curl lashes and put mascara. I like the blackish brown kind from Maybelline The Rocket.
12. She put on fake lashes, but I didn't. I'm going to wear this out to my appointment.
13. Pull off the tape.
14. Foundation
15. Concealer, I used a sponge to blot the concealer and make sure it was all blended in ok. I did it under my eyes where there is discoloration. Not too much, just a little. Be gentle under eye so not to create wrinkles.
16. Powder on t-zone. I do it all over the face just a little bit to set everything ok.
17. I didn't do my brows, because I feel like my brows are defined enough and I want them to look natural.
18. Benefit Hoola Bronzer because it looks good on my face and it is matte. I put it on the edge of my hair on my forehead and on the cheeks to look sort of tan. And I also used it to contour a little bit.
19. Peachy pinky blush. I used Milani Luminoso Baked Blush because it is one of my favorites. I put it on the apples of my cheeks and up at an angle towards the temples.
20. She used her Smashbox highlight that she created, but I used my Mary Lou Manizer highlight just on the part of my cheek that didn't have too much texture. I don't want to highlight that. And a little brush I put the highlight in the tear duct area. Little bit on the cupid's bow, down the nose. You can put it wherever you want to. It is up to you.
21. Nude liner in the waterline. I did it too, but it probably just washes away.
22. Realgar, dark orange, lower lash line close to the roots of lashes
23. Golden Ochre, used to blend out realgar, i used another delicate brush.
24. Mascara on lower lashes.
25. Cinnamon/nudey type lip liner. I used Jordana's Lip Liner in Tawny to out line my lips.
26. NYX Matte Lip Cream in Buenos Aires. It's just a coral matte lip shade that I got recently.
27. Bare Minerals Buxom Lip Gloss in Katie. A sparkly pinky peach color that make your lips a little plump. I think this combo looks good on the lips.
