It's Been Awhile

I'm so sorry that I hadn't posted anything lately.  It's been busy for me in my little life.  But I am back and will try to post some new looks.  Here is a more neutral eye look where you can do red or dramatic lips with...for I believe that if you have dramatic eyes, then you should just wear something simple on your lips and vice versa.

 

In this look, I used a neutral brown (around my skin shade with a little shimmer) on the inner corner towards the middle.

On the outer lid, I used a deeper chestnut brown ( a little darker than my skin) and used a fluff brush to blend in the middle.

I used Maybelline's Eye gel in black to line my lids on the top as well as the bottom inner (making it look like my whole eye is lined)

I used a medium brown brow liner on my brows, then used a spool brush to brush them out a bit so they don't look drawn on.

Oh, and since I haven't been on here in so long, I had to post my look for the holidays that I tried.  I got the idea from a few people that I follow on youtube.  Of course, it's the usual New Years look!

Hope you like, and thanks for stopping by!!!

Magenta Lips

I know I haven't been on here in so long, I have been keeping busy with a bunch of things.  So I decided to just post a look that I did a few months ago....hopefully I can remember what I used!  (excuse the pink shower cap in the background, lol)

Eyes:

~ True Colors: Reality Stack

http://www.truecolors.com/products/index.php?l=product_detail&p=16

I used a generic silver color on the inner lid, then the greenish aqua color from the stack in the middle of my lid, then Mary Kay's Storm (black) on the outer lid....blending all colors.

(it made a more navy blue color instead of black on the outer lid.)

~ Under brow highlight: Mary Kay: Moonstone

~ Maybelline Eye Studio Lasting Drama Gel Eyeliner

~Maybelline "Define A Lash" mascara in black

Lips:

Surprising, I used the same stacks from True Colors, for they say you can make lipstick and nail polish from them...so I tried it out.  I used the magenta color from the "Eastside" stack, added it to a bit of water on a Q-tip and brushed on my lips.

Playing Dress Up

I didn't have much time to think of anything, so I had to come up with something quick for my office costume contest....I decided to be a

A Splash of Purple

Me taking pics at work again...but I just received great news that I got the job I have been waiting for.  It is close to home, good pay and back in my field (graphics)...so I'm excited!  I start Monday, so I need to make sure the makeup is on point!  Below is my purple look:

Orange Juice Thursday

Playing around with some more color, I decided to try my "Authentic" by OCC, then used "Espresso" by Mary Kay on the outer side of the lid.  Though it's described as a copper color, it looks like orange on my skin...so what do you do????  Wear something to match it! lol

After seeing these pics, I realized that I need some color to those lips, so I'll probably go with something neutral.
