Makeup trials over the last couple of months.

I think this is the scariest, I look as if I was punched in the yes. I love having side bangs, they can always cover one bad eyebrow ....or unmatching eyeshadows. Yes, I even think about makeup in my sleep. Wet n Wild lipsticks are beautiful! Pigmented and more mattifying, but not drying. --------------------------- My job includes no makeup whatsoever and on the days I'm off, I don't even have the want to go out and dress up. If you ever see me in real life, I don't wear makeup often, but I try to practice as much as I can, if you can't tell from the couple of sleepy pictures.  Makeup to me didn't come natural in my life nor was it really ever in my life, it only sprouted during college and my desire to be better at it came post college in the strangest time. Makeup to me is like learning my multiplication table in the 2rd grade, I kept trying and I couldn't remember, other kids finished their time tables and were ...

Fall Night 2010 Look (my most improved makeup work so far)

I'm blogging crazy tonight. I've been practicing with makeup once again. Eyebrows One problem I have is I don't know how to fill in my brows, I have watched many YouTube gurus' tutorials on the art of filling in brows, but I can't do it yet.

Therefore I mixed it with my Fix & Perfect (left) to give it some color, mattify the skin, and to even out the skin tone.   Why I rarely wear foundations Like I've mentioned in my pr...

Fall 2010 Dark eyes & bold lips vs. Dark eyes & glowing cheeks

Dark eyes & bold lips vs. Dark eyes & glowing cheeks Fall 2010     vs.  Inspiration Diane Von Furstenburg's 2010 Fall Runway Makeup trend of a woman " changing, evolving like a butterfly." He "layered lids and undereyes with a black cream shadow, and gave the inner corners a little sparkle" and the result "is multidimensional eye makeup that looks a little different from each angle." My trial I've adapted this look to be softer for this upcoming Fall season , something more "wearable" for my personal taste , with some color into the inner corner . I've always added glowing cheeks with a bronzer and highlighter and , semi nude matte lips with touch of "bronzey" eyeshadow. *Whenever I practice with makeup, I don't often create the same look for both of my eyes. It's usually 1 look for 1 eye, another look for the other, or another version of it with something different. (Just in case you ...
