Smoky Eyes: Tarnished Gold

A tarnished gold, smoky eye... for school? Sure, why not! Let's go with that. Wanted to post this before I ran off to class in a few...  that is, if I don't fall asleep before it's time to go!  Must. Press. On!

Bright Makeup: Lotsa Teals

Here's a quick look I did using two of the new Benefit eyeshadows, plus one of Urban Decay's new Stardust eyeshadows (to be reviewed in full later). Really loving the way Dolce & Gabbana Nude Blush looks, though. Pain in the behind to photograph a swatch of it, but boy is it...

I love the lips for this look.  It's my new favorite lip combo, and as soon as I slipped on Le Metier de Beaute Apricot Creme, I completely remember why I shelled out $36 for it.  In fact, I think I'm going to place an...

Glitter Makeup: Stila Jewel Eye Palette Look

Just decided to have a little fun with Stila's new glitter-tastic palette last night :) Didn't have too much fall out -- definitely apply less than you think you need, and then build up if you need to. (I tried two techniques - one on each eye; nearly...

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

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...

Lip Look: Everyday with a Bolder Lip

Wherefore art thou Giulette?

I wanted to wear a brighter/bolder lip, but I was also still on my way to school, so I kept everything else very minimal/subtle and let the lips be the focus. I reviewed Giulette earlier this week, and what makes it stand out in a sea of brighter pinks is really the soft...

Spring Makeup: The Fresh Bloom of Spring with Purple, Green, & Blue

One of the most important things to do when doing a look with distinct colors is to be careful not to over-blend, which is really easy, because most of us put our noses to the mirror when we're checking to make sure we did a good...

Dark Neutrals: All Ages, All Races, All Sexes Look

I gotta tell you, the eyeshadows from All Ages, All Races, All Sexes are really not so flattering on me. I'm thinking it's probably the cool edge that they all have; it's just a little much on me when used together. I think Cross-Cultural and...
