Burnished Neutrals: Coppers and Browns

Burnished Neutrals: Coppers and Browns

Burnished Neutrals: Coppers and Browns

I gotta tell you, this look was a pain in the behind to photograph. You just can't see as much color variation in the close-up photos as you typically can. I took photos in a different spot in my house than I normally do (on the floor, ha), so I won't be...

Sunset Eyes with Maybelline Eye Studio

As promised, here's a look using Maybelline Eye Studio Give Me Gold Eyeshadow Palette. I think these are definitely some of the better drugstore eyeshadows I've tried in recent history, particularly from such a mass marketed brand as Maybelline. I don't think...

Summer Makeup: The Bright Sunset - Yellow, Orange, & Red

Summer Makeup: The Bright Sunset - Yellow, Orange, & Red

I just can't help it!   The latest shades to join the permanent range at MAC are all bright, they're so *summer* and it's not even technically spring yet! Oh, well... call it fashionably early? Hm. Whatever. This was just me having a...

New Year's Eve Makeup: Golden Berry

I wanted something simple but still festive for New Year's Eve, so I went with a modified version of this look, just to make it a little softer. I thought I'd also try using Cuddle shadestick under a lot of frost-finish shadows while I was at it, too, so I managed...

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 - Make Up For Ever: Gold, Orange, & Pink

What better way to kick of a month of Make Up For Ever than by sharing with you my first look using their products? I did my best to use as many Make Up For Ever products, so that you can see exactly how they perform! :)  All eyeshadows used will be reviewed at some point during the month (hint,...

Look - Gold, Orange, and Pinky-Red

Still experimenting with my camera, except I forgot to actually experiment. I got distracted (as per usual!), and I only ended up taking one set of photos, so I didn't have much to choose from (read that as only one photo per angle, so there was nothing to choose from!).

You will need the...

Look - Bright Future Sunset

Look - Bright Future Sunset

I did this look yesterday :) Just trying to use Bright Future from Style Warrior & make it work for me! It's better than the last round, but in truth, it doesn't top Going Bananas or Bright Sunshine -- I'd prefer both of those over Bright Future. I find Chrome Yellow to be hard to wear, because...

Look - Bright, Fiery Sunset

Look - Bright, Fiery Sunset

Remember I told you I attempted a look on Saturday, and how it came out SO similar to the last look I posted? Here it is, LOL! It's not quite the same; it's obviously kicked up a few notches in brightness/boldness, but the color scheme is still kind of similar, yeah? Not really a bad thing all...
