Dark Neutrals: Smoky Brown Eyes

Dark Neutrals: Smoky Brown Eyes

Dark Neutrals: Smoky Brown Eyes

This is probably my last look dedicated to MAC's Warm & Cozy Collection. I'm pretty sure my next look is going to use some *color* as the past few have all been fairly neutral, given the theme of Warm & Cozy. I've never been a huge fan of using super dark bases...

Natural Makeup: Soft, Warmed-up Browns

Natural Makeup with MAC Warm & Cozy

As promised, here's a quick look I did using a bunch of Warm & Cozy products! I used Comfort mineralize skinfinish as a blusher in the first set of full-face pictures more to show you what it looks like on (and why I'm not keen on it) -- I often do my best to use as...

Spring Makeup: Quick Chanel Les Impressions de Chanel Eyes & Lips

Spring Makeup: Quick Chanel Les Impressions de Chanel Eyes & Lips

This is a quick & dirty look--seriously, like ten minutes or less--using Chanel's spring collection. I love the lips more than the eyes, but what else is new?  I think next time I use this quad, I'm going to try a shimmery gold base.  Hmm.

Happy Monday!! (Yes, I'm sick and twisted... Mondays are...

Holiday Makeup: Gold & Cranberry + Bold Lips (or Bronze Lips!)

Holiday Makeup: Gold & Cranberry + Bold Lips (or Bronze Lips!)

This is almost like a two-for-one kind of look, because I took photos of two [drastically] different lip combinations -- the first is a deeper plummy red and the second more of a bronzy nude. I wanted to try out some of the products I've reviewed lately, so that's where I tried to draw inspiration...

Holiday Makeup: Gold & Greens

Hey, Ma! I did a look! So it's been a couple of weeks since the Lady Gaga inspired look which totally wreaked havoc on my eyes, but my eyes seem to be recovered now. (They were swollen for a few days, and then they proceeded to just be itchy/red and consequently dry and flaky afterward. You know,...

Look: Bobbi Brown Earth Metal Palette & Pewter Eyeshadow

Look: Bobbi Brown Earth Metal Palette & Pewter Eyeshadow

I really wanted to use Bobbi Brown's Pewter Chrome Eyeshadow, and I figured I might as well incorporate her Earth Metal Palette, too... so, I did! Let me tell you one thing about pewter-colored eyeshadow: it can be difficult figuring out how to pair cheeks and lips with it!

You will need the...

Look: Peach & Smoky Purples for Autumn

Look: Peach & Smoky Purples for Autumn

Here's a quick look for fall that I put together to go out to dinner with my parents and boyfriend (for my birthday). It's pretty simple, and surprisingly, I used all permanent products (without trying--that's an accomplishment!). :) Hope your Wednesday is off to a fantastic start! Halfway...

Look - Red Lips with Chanel Dragon

Look - Red Lips with Chanel Dragon

I did this look last night before we went out for my (early) birthday dinner at my favorite restaurant! I knew I wanted to take Chanel's Dragon out for a night on the town, so it was all about the lips for this look ;)

I hope your Saturday has been wonderful so far! I'm feeling a bit under the...

MAC Style Black Look: Dark Smoky Eyes

Just a quick Style Black I through together this morning before I took a shower. I'm not sold on mineralize eyeshadows whatsoever! I applied these mineralize eyeshadows wet using water-based mixing medium (for better adhesion and to minimize fall out). ...
