Face of the Day with Wet 'n Wild's New Eye Liner

This is my look for today. My eye liner went on really well and it was the inexpensive one by Wet 'n Wild. It is also cruelty-free! It's called On Edge Longwearing Eye Pencil in the color You're the Yin. It went on like a dream in my waterline, and it stayed on too! I got mine from Walgreens.

I used these three palettes for the eye look. To the left is Lorac Pro Palette, to the north east is Too Faced Chocolate Bar Palette, and to the south east is Urban Decay Naked 3 Palette. 

Here are the steps I took to create my look:

1. Face Primer

2. Foundation

3. Concealer (Wet 'n Wild Photo Focus)

4. Eye Primer (Milani Eye Shadow Primer)

5. Powder (Rimmel Stay Matte Powder)

6. Too Faced Chocolate Bar Palette in Salted Caramel in the crease

7. Urban Decay Naked 3 in Nooner on the lid

8. Clean big fluffy brush to blend out the edges

9. Lorac Pro Palette in Taupe, to blend out in the crease

10. Lorac Pro, Cream, under the brow

11. Lorac Pro, Espresso and Black colors mixed together onto the upper lash line

12. Mascara

13. Urban Decay Naked 3, Nooner, with a flat eyeliner brush close to the roots of the lashes

14. Used a pencil brush and Lorac Pro Palette in Taupe to blend out the lower lash line

15. Lorac Pro, Espresso and Black shadows on the outer 2/3 of lower lash line

16. Wet 'n Wild Black Eye Liner in the waterline

17. Benefit Hoola Bronzer to contour my cheeks, the top of forehead, and my nose

18. Milani Baked Blush in Luminoso 

19. The Balm Mary Lou Manizer as my highlighter

20. Nude Lip Liner

21. Revlon Lip Butter in Pink Truffle, It was worn off by the time I took the picture. But this isn't available anymore anyway.

You can imagine what kind of lip would look good with my eyes. I think a nudey pink looks good.

I had a good day today. I hope you did too. We need to end our days counting our blessings. That way we can sleep good at night, instead of being up worrying about our life or what is happening in the world around us.

Summery Warm Everyday Look

This look reminds me of a monarch butterfly. My pictures don't really show the colors as well as I would like. If you want to check out the video you will see the colors so much better.

Face of the Day: xeverygirlx Style

I liked how my makeup turned out today. I followed a video by xeverygirlx: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=l-VbwRR8NB0 I will tell you what she did, and then what I did to copy her look. This video is only a tutorial on her eyes. I chose the rest of the products for my face.

Eyes
1. She did her eyebrows. I skipped this because I already have really full eyebrows.

2. She put Urban Decay Primer potion all over her eyes. I used Too Faced Shadow Insurance.

3. She used Foxy from the Naked 2 Palette by Urban Decay and put that under her eyebrows and inner part of her eye using the Sigma 252 brush. I used Wet 'n Wild's Vanity Palette, the top left shade with an Ecotools brush. It's from the Alicia Silverstone collection. It is a really fluffy brush with an angle to it.

4. Underneath the highest part of her brow she put Bootycall from Urban Decay's Naked 2 Palette. I used the first shade on the right of Wet 'n Wild's Lust Palette.

5. She took Naked from the Original Naked Palette by Urban Decay on a Sigma 217 brush on her crease. I used the 2nd color on the left of Wet 'n Wild Vanity palette on my Loew-Cornell AMM Mini Mop 1/4 brush.

6. She took Chopper from Urban Decay Naked 2 Palette and put it on her eyelid with the Sigma 239 brush. I used the second color from Milani Runway Eyes Fashion Shadows in 01 Designer Browns with my Elf Professional Eye Shadow Brush.

7. Next, she used Tease from Urban Decay Naked 2 Palette using the fluffy side of the brush that came with the palette. She put this onto her crease. I used Mac Quarry using my fluffy brush from Confidential.

8. She put Busted on her outer corner. My dupe for this is the 2nd color from Elf Brightening Eye Color in Day 2 Night. She went on to blend this out.

9. She put NYX Milk in her inner corner. I have NYX Cottage Cheese that I used. It works just as well. The only difference between the two I think is Cottage Cheese has a shimmer to it, but it is just as white as Milk.

10. She used Aspen Summit Eyeshadow from Sephora. It is a white glittery shade. You can use whatever white shimmery shade you have. I used that color from my Wet 'n Wild Sand Castle 8-Pan Palette. It has been discontinued. She put that shade on top of NYX Milk.

11. After that she used the Urban Decay Glide On 24 Eye Pencil that came in the Naked Palette on her lower lashes. She used Whiskey which is a brown color. I used Stila Eye Pencil in Lionfish that came in my January Birchbox.

12. She put Blackout on an angled brush to her top lashes. She didn't make a wing, she just pressed it to her lash base. I used Wet 'n Wild Greed Palette's matte black shade to do this with my angled brush from EcoTools.

13. Then she put on mascara to her top and bottom lashes.

I'm sorry my pictures are blurry. My camera seems to go out of focus the closer it gets to something. I wish I had a better camera.

I hoped you liked my face of the day!

Face of the Day: Pixi2woo Style

Today is a Monday and I'm back to work at the elementary school. I'm wearing casual clothes, and it is supposed to be as high as 83 degrees, which is very nice in my opinion. For my makeup I copied Pixi2woo's newest Back to School Makeup Tutorial http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=6olDXsIUCwQ This look is very fresh and pretty. A good look for school and sunny weather. I didn't have all the products she had, but I duped the ones I didn't have.

For foundation, concealer, powder, and eyebrows, I feel like it's already a given to use whatever products that you normally use unless you want to buy exactly what she has.

For her eyes she used Sleek Storm Palette which is not available in the U.S. so I found what colors I had to use. Also she used the Mac 217 brush, but I have the dupe which is the Loew-Cornell 1/4 amm mini mop (green handle) art brush I found at Michael's.

1. I put Milani Drenched in Gold across the lid.

2. With my little finger I used Covergirl Shimmer Sands Trio, the third color and popped it on my tear duct area.

3. I used Maybelline Eye Studio Quad in Taupe Temptress, second color in my outer corner and through the socket for a tiny bit of definition. Some people would call this the "outer v."

4. She used a mascara for lengthening so I used my Covergirl Lengthening Mascara.

5. For blush she used Rimmel Spring Flower 001. This looks like a pink color, so I used my Wet 'n Wild  Pearlescent Pink Blush. I love how she applied the blush. She smiled and dusted the brush across her cheek leaning more so that she wasn't too close to her nose and blended outward onto the cheekbones. She said if you put on too much blush just use whatever is left on your foundation brush to blend it out and make it look more natural.

6. For the lip gloss she used Revlon Colorburst Lip Gloss in Peony, which I have and love. I also put on Soft Lips SPF 20 lip balm underneath.

I really want to wear shoes to show off my "toes of the week" (jean nails), but I know it's not practical since I'm going to be on my feet a lot at work so I should probably wear tennis shoes.

What is your face of the day? What youtube beauty guru do you like to watch or copy their tutorials? I used to just watch, but it is fun to try to copy and you learn a lot about makeup.
