My favorite ways to add a POP of color for Summer

        
      Hello There:)   

This post is just a picture tutorial on how I add pops of color for summer time, more picture tutorials to come! I also have no concealer on in this pictures... Please follow for more.

          First I start with just a very light natural look, just one of my go to light and natural looks. Use your go to natural look, but pick one that's more lighter and simple. I will be doing my everyday natural makeup look and how I contor my eyes(which is another one of my go to looks especially when I need to leave and only have five minutes to do my makeup) soon. All I have on in for this is a light shimmer peachy pink blush on my lids, some bronzer in my crease and a darker brown in my outer v, nothing special.


        The first way, all I do is line my upper lid with black liner, I used gel and made a wing but you can use liquid or pencil and do your go to liner for the upper lid. After I lined my upper lid I lined half of my lower lash line and waterline, but only line half. Then I took Wet N Wild Coloricon Turquoise pencil liner and lined the remaining half. This way is good for those less daring and who don't want much color, also feel free to use what ever colors you want for this, of course.


If you want a little more then above but not more them just line your whole lower lash line and waterline with your colored liner.


           This last way is how I wear my liner in the summer time most often. It's the same exact thing as the first way but instead of using black I used Wet N Wild Coloricon pencil liner in Green, you could use purple with light purple or any light and dark color combo you'd like.


Then I just apply the Wet N Wild Coloricon pencil liner in turquoise, like I did in the first way but when I do my liner this way I use a light frosty blue(Wet N Wild Coloricon in Sky Blue) in the inner corner.

I typically wear a color lip or nude with this but I think a light pinkish berry would look nice too or even a nice pink.


Make sure you set all of your liner, for it to last all day. I used the Wet N Wild Coloricon pencils to do these looks. I really love these liners, they're affordable, there's a great color selection, and they work great.

Review: Sheercover Concealer

    Hello There:)
      This concealer is actually really nice, I received this in the Spring beauty Voxbox from Influenster. I got it in light/medium combo, and the light matched me perfectly.  I didn't notice any creasing with this concealer, of course after it had been set with powder and its quite moisturizing unlike many concealers. It has Jojoba and Allantoin which help moisturize and soothe sensitive skin. it also provides antioxidant protection from free-radical scavengers.
       It does come with two colors so you can mix the product together and get the perfect color. It has nice coverage and good texture. It gives great coverage and is buildable. Starts sheer and can be built up to cover anything from under eye circle, blemishes, hyper pigmentation, age spots, and any other imperfection you may have leaving you with flawless looking skin. I found it to be a bit liquidy but still creamy if that makes sense. It glides on to your skin easily and doesn't tug at all, great for those with fragile skin. It is really blendable and can be blended out with your finger, makeup sponge or a brush. The recommended way to apply is using one of the previous tools mentioned and starting sheer and building up to the coverage you need, then letting dry before applying any other makeup. This can be worn alone, under and over other makeup. All in all this is a great concealer and I would say getting the kit would be so worth it, the introductory system is 29.95usd for a 30 day starter kit this comes with a total of six products or 36.65usd for a 120 day deluxe kit that comes with eight products, you can also by this on its own for the same price as the introductory system this is for non-members, both kits include the concealer. Personally I find that to be a great deal especially the 120 day deluxe kit, and would suggest giving it a try. This is dermatologist tested.

Winter Bronze Plum Eye


        Hello there:)

         I always love the look of bronze and purple together, and I think it makes a gorgeous eye look for winter. So continue reading to see how I did this super easy look anyone can do.
What I used: In no particular order
Avon 8 in 1 in Neutral Tones
Avon Quad Eyeshadows in Purple Haze
E.L.F Cream Eyeliner in Black
Avon Glazewear Lip gloss in Sweet Maple (I know it may sound weird to use lipgloss on your eyelid and it does take a while to get use to but as long as its safe for around your eyes it is perfectly fine, this step is optional I just feel it make the bronze color more vibrant then a primer does.)
I didn't prime my eyelid when I did this but typically I would when doing any look, only reason I didn't was because I took this off right after I did it.

Colors:

The one in the middle.


I used the purple and then the gray.

This is the gloss I used. I find this is my only use for this gloss.


Just swatches of the colors I used.

First apply primmer, then a very small amount on lipgloss if you chose to, you just want enough to cover the eyelid. Then pack the bronze shadow on top of the gloss, sorry for the not so great photo my camera wouldn't take a picture any better then this.



Next, take a crease or blending brush of your choice and apply the purple color to your crease and outer v until the color is as dark as you want it to be. After you do that blend the purple.



Then add a gray color to your outer v and drag it a bit into your crease, and of course blend.


After your done with the top lid drag the purple color onto the middle of your bottom lid.

Yet again sorry for the bad photo, but it still does the job, I couldn't really keep my eye fully open with the flash.

Lastly with the shadows, drag the gray on the outer part of the bottom lid and add the bronze to the inner part and lastly highlight your tear duct and browbone with a shimmery skin tone shade.

Yet again the flash makes it super hard for me to keep my eye open completely. Also I used a flat eyeliner brush(push liner brush) but you could use a pencil or a smudger brush to add the color on the bottom lid.

Almost done, just apply your eyeliner how you typically do.


And Finally apply your favorite mascara and eyeliner to you tightline and water line. I also added just a bit on the lower lash line.


Thanks for viewing, please leave any tips and your opinion, this is my first time doing this so I would love to know what anyone who sees this thinks. And of course you can swap the colors out and use different products then me. Also if you did like or have any other request please do share with me. Thanks!
