Tutorial: Neutral Golds & a Pop of Teal

Simple & pretty.
I posted this look March 13th, and I decided to re-do it and post a tutorial for it. This is one of my favorite "simple/neutral" looks that I've done. Enjoy!






Step 1: Apply Urban Decay's Primer Potion all over your lid.








 Step 2: Using a flat fluffy eyeshadow brush, apply the first colour in L.A. Colour's Tea Time palette all your your lid and blend upwards.







Step 3: Using the same fluffy brush, apply the third colour from the Tea Time palette just above your crease. Blend it out.







Step 4: Use a thin eyeliner brush to apply Maybeline's Gel Liner in Blackest Black on your upper lashline. Create a small wing.







Step 5: Curl your lashes.








Step 6: Spoolie out your lashes. This step is optional.

Extra Tip: If you don't own a spoolie, you can use an old mascara wand that has been cleaned!





Step 7: Using the same eyeliner brush and Maybeline's Gel Liner, apply it to your tightline.







Step 8: Apply LÓreal Paris' Telescopic Explosion mascara to your lashes.







Step 9: Apply NYX Cosmetic's eyelashes in Dream Catcher.








Step 10: Curl your lashes again. This step helps make the false eyelashes look more natural.







Step 11: Apply a good coat of Urban Decay's 24/7 Shadow Pencil in Clash to your waterline. Make sure to get enough product on, we really want this colour to pop!






Step 12: Apply Bourjois Paris' Coup de Theatre mascara in Bleu Spectaculaire to your lower eyelashes. Finished!

Tutorial: Dramatic Club Makeup

My friend came down from Alberta on friday, and I haven't seen her in 2 years, so we got to have fun and go out! I wanted to re-create the look I wore out on Saturday to a club, and post a tutorial for it because I loved it! Club makeup needs to be dramatic and flashy, it needs to stand out! It's a little hard to see in the thumbnail but the look is basically a dramatic black and grey smokey eye with a ton of silver glitter! :D A lot of these pictures are pretty bad, I was having a "bad camera day". Let's get started with the tutorial...

Step 1: Prime your eyelids with Urban Decay's Primer Potion.



Step 2: Apply NYX Cosmetic's Jumbo Eye Pencil in Milk to your eyelid and blend it out with your finger.



Step 3: Apply Sephora's eyeshadow in Aspen Summit to your lid with a fluffy eyeshadow brush.



Step 4: Apply Maybeline's gel liner in Blackest Black to your outter third of your eyelid. try to create a small wing shape with a small eyeliner brush.



Step 5: Start blending it out with your finger, try to be careful though. You don't want to lose that wing shape.



Step 6: Apply NYX Cosmetic's eyeshadow in Black over the Blackest Black eyeliner. Blend it out really well. (Sorry for the TERRIBLE picture here)


Step 7: Apply No7's mousse eyeshadow in Pewter to your inner corner and blend it out using a small flat eyeshadow brush.



Step 8: Apply a bit of hair spray to a small flat eyeshadow brush, and then dip it in NYX Cosmetic's glitter in Silver. Apply it to your inner corner.


Step 8: Apply Benefit's Smudgeliner in Black to your bottom lashline.


Step 8: Apply a couple coats of Sephora's black mascara.




With flash.



Without flash, catches the glitter a bit better.

Alice in Wonderland Look: Pocket Watch

I did another Alice in Wonderland look inspired by a shirt I own with this really cute pocket watch on it. Im definitely going to be redoing this look because it came out a lot more sloppy than I had originally intended. I edited this picture to be black and white, and high contrast. I only used TWO products and two different types of brushes! See my first look, here.

Products Used:
- NYX Cosmetics Jumbo Pencil in Milk
- Maybeline Gel Liner in Blackest Black
