Night Look Using Colors

Hey,
Using a color with a black is one of the easiest ways to use colored eye shadow and makes a great night look! This look is great for summer nights out and you can switch up the color on your lid with any color. I have a look fairly similar to this look that you can check out here.

What I used:

• Urban Decay Primer Potion
• Wet n Wild Cream Eyeliner in black
• Coastal Scents 42 Double Matte palette; black, purples, white, lightest brown
• Rimmel Scandal Eyes Mascara, orange cap

What I did:

1. I primed my eyes and set that with my face powder.
2. I drew the shape I wanted with the black cream eyeliner and filled in where I was going to place the black eye shadow.
3. Then I patted on a black eye shadow over that and blended out the edges and into the crease.
4. I used the lightest brown shadow in the crease, you don't want this to be noticeable so afterwards go over it with the black again.
5. I patted the lightest purple shadow on the inner part of my lid, then a shade that was about two shades darker in the middle, then the darkest purple on what's left of the lid. While doing this blend each color into each other, since these shades are similar they will blend into each other easily.
6. Apply a thin line of eyeliner
   
   
   on the top and in the tight line and waterline, set this with the black liner.
7. Smudge the black shadow on the outer third of the lower lash line, a mix of the darkest and medium purple in the middle and the lightest in the inner third. Remember to blend these all into each other.
8. Highlight under your brow bone and inner corner with a white eye shadow
9. Lastly apply a few coats of your favorite mascara and/or false lashes. Fill in your brow and finish your face.

This look, looks best with lots of bronzer, a little highlighter and a nude lip.

Mani Monday: Sunny Days with an Orange Fix

With flash

Hey,
This week I decided to do something bright for summer on my nails, these nails are really cute and fun for summer.. The colors I used were Rimmel 60 Second polish in Sunny Days and Maybelline Color Show polish in Orange Fix. I did four coats of the yellow, this one isn't as opaque as I would like but with a white base underneath two coats should work great. For the accent nail the orange only took two coats and the orange polka dots went on in one coat, but I did go over a few making a few darker. I used no base coat, and the Sally Hansen Insta-Dri top coat.

So far both polishes are holding up well, but the yellow didn't dry to nice and got a little messed up since I used so many coats.
 

Beauty Things I Suck At!

Hey, so I love this tag, and I decided I should share the beauty things I suck at with you.

First off I suck at putting mascara on, I don't know how many pictures I have uploaded to my blog that consist of mascara on my lid or under my lashes were it shouldn't be. To make that worse I always forget to clean it up or just don't care too.

Another thing I suck at is braiding my hair, whether its a simple side braid, fish tail, or french braid I can never do them or at least not well, I can handle the side braid but it's always loose and messy.

Touching up my makeup seems to be impossible for me, lipstick I can handle but powder is just too much for me.

Not chipping away my nail polish, when I get bored I seriously peel it off, only after it already starts chipping on its own, but still its not cute.

Keeping my brushes clean, now I'm not the type of person to do weekly cleanings but I wish I was, I don't go more then a month but its still unsanitary and something I should fix.

Colorful makeup, this one I really am working on, I have for the most part gotten how to do it down, and have a few post coming up of a few things that I have done, but I never wear it out, and sometimes no matter how good it looks I just can't pull it of.

Another nail thing, I can with patients manage to do a perfect manicure, but when it comes to painting my nails I always seem to be lacking with that patients.

Keeping my vanity clean, come the end of the week I have makeup everywhere and then you get those weeks that I don't clean it up and for two straight weeks I can't find anything cause nothing gets put back! Going along with this I suck at clearing out the lipsticks in my bag!

Nail art is not my game, on top of not being able to do it, I am always to lazy to even give it a try!

Using a setting spray seems to be impossible to remember along with curling my lashes!

What are some beauty things you can suck at, I could honestly go on forever but I figured a short post would be better then a book!
