Bright Makeup: Just Playin' Around

I wanted to test out some new products I purchased, so I figured perhaps I'd try to create a coherent look rather than have ten different new products in various places on my face with no rhyme or reason! I mostly wanted to test out Tarina Tarantino's eyeshadows...

5-Minute Makeup Look & How to Wear Bright Lipstick

With all of the Summer Season lipsticks we've featured (and the many more to come!), it's only natural to wonder how one can wear some of those vibrant, retina-burning shades. One of my favorite ways (and easiest!) is to pair whatever bright lip you...

Guerlain Ombre Perlees -- Matte Eyeshadow

I did this look over the weekend with Guerlain's Ombre Perlees Palette. Even though the shades look like they have a hint of shimmer, they're near-matte, particularly when used over a matte base. This is such a fall look, though, ha!

You will need the...

Spring to Summer with Dior Crush Glow

I promised I would do a look using Dior's Crush Glow Eyeshadow Palette, and I used it on Friday for a quick and easy look. It's funny -- I loved this look in person, but I felt like a lot of the subtlies of the shades didn't pick-up so much on camera. It's a...

Long-time reader Anita (you may recognize her posting under the name Anitacska--try typing that ten times fast!) shared this fun, bold look she created with Dior's Tropical Quint. She said she's never done such a bright look before!

Look: Going Green with Greengrease

You know I had to dig into the new MAC products... at least to get going... for a look! Happy Monday!

P.S. -- Santal looks a little pinker on me today than it does usually, because I still had a bit of a CoverGirl lip stain lingering when I put it on!

P.P.S. -- Can...

Easy Makeup: Soft & Sweet for Spring

I wanted to wear Stylesetter, so I figured a softer eye would be best, because Stylesetter is pretty bright on its own. I don't know if I've done a combination with these kinds of colors before, but I was pleasantly surprised at how it turned out.

Bright Makeup: So Blue, So, So, Blue!

Bright Makeup: So Blue, So, So, Blue!

Bright Makeup: So Blue, So, So, Blue!

I thought about doing a mix of blue and some other color (was leaning towards purple), but then I thought, "It's been awhile since I've done *all* blue, hasn't it?" and then this was created. The blues I used almost look like they're glowing in the close-up...

St. Patricks Day Makeup: Green-a-palooza!

Happy St. Patricks Day! :) Here's a wicked-to-the-bone green look for ya! What's everyone doing to celebrate?  Oh, by the way?  Glitter doesn't show up nearly as fun in the photos as it was in person.  I put the glitter on my lashes, lower lash line, and...
