Tutorial: A Purple Valentine's Day

Hello Lovelies!

Today I am doing a Valentine's Day look, as Valentine's Day is this Friday! Wow. How time flies!! I personally love this look because I have hazel eyes, but this will look lovely on brown eyes or other eye colors as well. All the products I use will be listed below!

1. Apply your base and do your brows. I personally love the full brow look, but if that's not your style you can totally do them differently!

2. Apply a light pink eyeshadow on your lids. The color I am using has a hint of shimmer, but you can use a matte eyeshadow as well.

3. Apply a shimmery dark purple to the outer corners, crease, and half way along the lower lash line. Make sure to blend well for a soft effect.

4. With an angled liner brush and purple liner, line the outer half of your top lash line and make a wing. I am using a cream eyeliner, but you can use gel or liquid.

5. Curl your lashes and apply mascara on your top and bottom lashes.

6. Apply a soft pink blush and a lip color of your choice. I chose a Revlon Colorburst Lip Butter in the shade 025 Peach Parfait.

Products I used:

-CG Smoothers Tinted Moisturizer

-Fit Me Concealer (120 Classic Ivory)

-Fit Me Pressed Powder (Fair)

-e.l.f Studio Eyebrow Kit (light)

-Covergirl Lashblast Mascara

-Smashbox Metallic Cream Eyeliner Palette

-Smashbox Soft Lights blush (Prism)

-Revlon Colorburst Lip Butter (025 Peach Parfait)

-Laura Mercier Glamour Wardrobe Palette

Hope you enjoyed this look!

Have a lovely day!

Tutorial: Natural Makeup

Hello Lovelies!

Today I am doing a natural makeup tutorial. This is often my everyday makeup, partially because it is so easy to do and takes very little time. This look is all about enhancing your natural beauty!
All the products I use will be listed below.

1. Apply BB cream for your base.

2. Apply concealer where needed. For me, it's underneath my eyes, around the nose, chin, and cheeks.

3. Apply a cream blush to your cheeks. Blend.

4. Lightly apply powder where needed. If you don't have oily skin, go without powder.

5. Do your brows.

6. Tight-line your upper lash line. I used a brown pencil, but you can use whatever color looks most natural on you. Tight-lining your eyes is a great way to get definition without having the look of eyeliner.

(left: lined. right: unlined.)

7. Curl your lashes and apply mascara.

8. Apply lip balm to prep your lips.

9. Apply a lip color close to your natural lip color, and you are done! I am absolutely in love with the rose color by Pati Dubroff- SO lovely!

Products I used:

-CG Smoothers Tinted Moisturizer

-Fit Me Concealer (120 Classic Ivory)

-Fit Me Pressed Powder (Fair)

-e.l.f Studio Eyebrow Kit (light)

-Clinique Cream Blush

-Laura Mercier Kohl Eye Pencil (Brown Copper)

-Pati Dubroff Professional Lip Balm Crayon (Rose bloom)

-Covergirl Lashblast Mascara

-EOS Lip balm

The nail color I am wearing is "Using My Maiden Name" by Essie.

I hope you enjoyed this look!:)

Have a lovely day!

Tutorial: Amy Adams Inspired Look

Hello Lovelies!

Today I am doing an Amy Adams inspired makeup look! Amy Adams always looks gorgeous and fresh faced wherever she goes. I saw a picture of her that really stuck out to me. She had black winged eyeliner, pink cheeks, and pink lips to match. I thought it looked so girly and fresh, so I thought I would do a look inspired by her. Here is the image of Amy below.
