Holiday Makeup Look: Sparkly Eye

This is my look I'm wearing to the Thanksgiving party I'm going to today. I was inspired to do this by Stephanie Ledda on Youtube.

I used a cranberry matte berry on my lip. Revlon Ultra HD Matte in Kisses.

Here is the video I created...

This is what I did to get the look.

1. Warm light brown shade in my crease

2. Cooler more neutral toned matte brown in the crease

3. Dark matte chocolate brown, made a wing on the sides of my eyes. This part was tricky you might want to watch Stephanie's video or my video to see how to do this step.

5. Matte black on top of the chocolate brown wing

6. Beige shimmer on the eyelid part that isn't dark

7. Bronzer in the crease

8. Creamy white matte shade under the brow

9. You can use a makeup wipe to clean under the eyes and the edges of the wings.

10. Black liquid liner, upper lash line, small wing, a thin eye against the lashes

11. Gold glitter liner on the beige color on the lid

12. Mascara

13. Warm light brown shade used on the crease on the lower lash line

14. A little bit of the matte black on the outer corner of the lower lash line

15. Bronzer

16. Coral blush

17. Golden highlighter on the nose, cheekbones, above eyebrows, and in the tear ducts

18. Nude Lip Liner

19. Cranberry matte lip is what I used. Stephanie used a darker lip.

20. Setting spray

I hope you like my holiday look! I pray you are all blessed and well this time of year. May you have peace of mind and heart. 

Simple and Sweet Everyday Autumn Look

I think this is a simple, pretty look with fall colors. I liked how this turned out. I was copying a look by SMLx0 or Stephanie Ledda on Youtube that she did last year.

I love her tutorials and I love her personality. I think she is so cool.

Here are the steps I took to create this look.

1. A medium brown with yellow undertones and a matte finish on the crease

2. A medium dark red brown with warm undertones and a matte finish on the outer crease. I used Summer Yum from Too Faced Sweet Peach Palette.

3. A soft, light-medium yellow gold frost on the lid.

4. The medium brown used on the crease put on the lower lash line.

5. A dark purple-burgundy with warmer undertones and a satin finish on the lower lash line. I used the color Delectable from the Sweet Peach Palette.

6. I did all the face makeup.

7. I put a highlighter on and I put it in the tear ducts.

8. I used Covergirl's Cheekers Blush in Soft Sable. Steph used Tarte Sensual Blush which is a medium peach-brown with warm undertones and it is a semi-matte finish.

9. Jordana Lip Liner in Rock and Roll

10. I used Maybelline Almond Rose matte lipstick in #565. Steph used Gerard Cosmetics 1995.

Warm Brown Fall Makeup Tutorial Using Modern Renaissance Palette

This is another look I find that is inspired by SMLx0 or Stephanie Ledda on Youtube. She did a look last year using the ABH Mario Master Palette and I found I had similar colors and I could copy her look using mainly the ABH Modern Renaissance Palette.

I downloaded another video of me getting ready on Youtube. The reason why it is so long is because I don't know how to edit the video. I just know how to record myself, and then upload it onto Youtube. It's fun for me to do it, and I think I learn more about applying makeup when i record myself and watch it back. I encourage you to do it if you are studying makeup! You don't need to put it on Youtube of course, but it is fun to watch and to see how makeup transforms your face.

These are the steps of what I did.

1. Tape sides of face.

2. Realgar from Modern Renaissance Palette in the crease, it is a medium-dark orange brown, matte shade

3. Warm Taupe in the crease, it is a medium taupe-brown, matte warm undertones

4. Too Faced Sugar and Spice Palette in Chocolate Cake, You can use any warm dark brown, matte color. I put this along the tape and upper lash line, outer v and dragged it in. This step was difficult for me because I felt like the eyes did not match.

5. Primavera from Modern Renaissance on the lid. This is a light-medium, frosted warm gold.

6. Chocolate Cake, along upper lash line and tape again

7. Cream or yellow highlight under brow blend it down with the crease color. I used the cream from Lorac Pro Palette.

8. Realgar, lower lash line

9. Chocolate Cake, outer lower lash line

10. Lashes

11. Covergirl Cheekers Blush in Soft Sable

12. The Balm Mary Lou Manizer on the highlights of the face and tear ducts

13. Nude Lip Liner. I used Jordana Tawny.

14. Maybelline Matte Lipstick in Almond Rose #565

Urban Decay Naked Heat Palette Look for the Summertime

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.

Easy Pretty Summer Look Inspired by Stephanie Ledda aka SMLx0

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.

Summer Makeup Tutorial: Bright Lips Inspired by Stephanie Ledda's Look from Youtube

1. Cream blush in summery color
