To be honest, of course it is bias since it is my personal opinions, but looking at fashion magazines (Americans) & images of models from makeup and fashion worlds, most of them are very light skin. I can never have green or beautiful blue eyes or skin that are as light as them and therefore- certain colors do not have the same affect.  I am all about embracing our individual qualities and making the best of them, but it'll be nice to see certain "looks" projected onto other types of models.

1st look: very light brows, bright red/orange lips, natural eyes


2nd look: Naturally defined brows, soft makeup, define cheeks, and soft muted mauve lips





3rd look: Very strong eyebrows, very light makeup, strong and bold deep mauve lips





It's pretty how the sunset makes my hair red, but too much red is not good
Such a funny story. I was lying on the grass hoping to take a quick picture and some people were walking by, I was so scared that I jumped up and started running around the corner... =(

Cherry blossom season is approaching! So beautiful!

For this "shoot"- I used very minimal makeup and very little products, what I normally use, no foundation.
-Rimmel Fix & Perfect primery
- Almay pencil (eye liner)
-New eyelash curler that really holds curls (will be available on Beyou's soon)
- Maybelline's Falsies mascara
-Victoria Secret Bare Bronze palette (available at Beyou's shop)
-Benefit lip gloss
-Beyou's 28 pro smoky palettes
-various lip colors
-Missha BB cream #23

My favorite place to put on makeup would be in my car, during day light with the mirror in the front seat- and that's exactly where I put on my makeup for all of these pictures; especially in a beautiful park.   Everything is much easier because the mirror's directly facing you and you can really tell what the makeup will come out to be.  

I tried to be miminal because I left the house late and I was afraid the sun might set- so I had to work fast to catch the rays.  After the first look, took some pictures, went and fix the 2nd looks and add on colors along with taking off the lipstick, and after the 2nd look, add shadows and add on more lipstick. I hope people didn't think I was weird putting makeup in my car and coming out w/ new looks each time. Overall, it was a great time practicing makeup =) I love playing with my eye shadow color palettes because you never know what the end colors will be and don't overdo on one color!

5 Wet n Wild lipstick swatches, why customers' reviews are important to a business, WIN free eyeshadow!

 Practicing makes perfect, repetition with practice is even better I had told myself I'd dedicate an hour every day to practicing makeup applications but the past couple of weeks have been so busy for me that I haven't been able to- but then whenever I do practice, I always try the same groups of colors on the eyes and same techniques. My goal is next time I practice, I will have a YouTube video on and practice along with the guru as well. You assume once you watch something, you can replicate the same colors and techniques after- but not I. I do not want Beyoumakeupshop's customers nor my friends, or people I know to think I am always about promoting our own products. I really do try to find different ways to use the products, research on the products and reviews, and I do try to test on myself prior to adding them. I have not tested nor use everything in the Shop, but hopefully over time I will be able to. Why customers' reviews are important to a business I bel

I'm grateful for work =)

The weather has been sooo cold here in Northern California, much colder than last year =(  I don't think I can ever imagine myself living anywhere but the warm states, unless its New York and there's no need to drive with the subway/cabs. Ay, with the 30 for 30 challenge, I have been so uncreative, but now that I'm starting to work, I'll be more out of the box of my typical self and practice wearing different makeup at the same time.  I'm so grateful because I finally found a part time job and after the first day of work (yesterday), I was so tired and end up sick. From now on, I will make sure to keep myself warm and wear tons of layers of clothing because it is so easy to get sick in this type of weather. One of most dislike situations is being sick- it just makes you feel helpless and weak. I'm gong to make sure I work extra hard and always do my best because I'm so grateful to have found it. How do people work full time, go to school, and still raise

I tried to be a model! =) Extreme eyes

I went outside of my comfort zone and tried something different with my look and I had just dyed my hair. I tried to emmulate this look, including the pose from the original model. I tried contouring the nose, exaggerate the cheekbones, and failed at the pose because I didn't know my hands were the opposite side. It was so much fun to step outside of my comfort zone!*P.S. if you look closely at my nails, you can tell there are color smearings around my finger- I used my Smashbox cream eyeliner for my nail colors ! =) Original picture   Can you see the contouring of the nose?
