5 Minute Face: Joie-de-Vivre Cremeblend Blush

5 Minute Face: Joie-de-Vivre Cremeblend Blush

5 Minute Face: Joie-de-Vivre Cremeblend Blush

As promised, I wanted to show you how to use MAC's new Cremeblend Blushes in a look. They can be worn on lips (yes, I'll do lip swatches -- probably today or tomorrow!) or cheeks, and the intensity is very buildable; you don't need much to get a little...

Valentine's Day Makeup: Soft Neutrals & Pink Lips

Valentine's Day Makeup: Soft Neutrals & Pink Lips

Valentine's Day Makeup: Soft Neutrals & Pink Lips

So, opposite of the last look, here's a very soft look one could wear. I call it Valentine's Day makeup, but you could really wear it any time. I think it's quite appropriate for a variety of occasions! I wore this to school on Wednesday, which...

Valentine's Day Makeup: It's the New Pink

Last night, I asked the late night Twitter crowd if I should do a colorful or natural look -- I was originally thinking about doing something soft and natural, but colorful was the voice of the majority, so I ran with it. I thought about it, and I decided I...

Colorful Makeup: Green, Teal, & Blue

Colorful Makeup: Green, Teal, & Blue

Colorful Makeup:  Green, Teal, & Blue

I envisioned a green, teal, and blue combination, and I really went from there for this look. I'm also trying to work on using permanent or recently released products in my looks, so, even though it was unplanned and totally coincidental, this look is very much...

New Year's Eve Makeup: Golden Berry

New Year's Eve Makeup: Golden Berry

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...

Bright Makeup: Fuchsia & Purple

Bright Makeup: Fuchsia & Purple

I mentioned last look that the next one would definitely have some color, and I'd say this one certainly does!

I thought I'd show a really cool, pale pink kind of lip with this look (I'm a bit warm-toned for it, IMO, but my boyfriend adores the color -- go figure), but also how a brighter pink lip...

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...

More Natural Makeup with MAC Warm & Cozy

Here's another simple look I did with Warm & Cozy. There's really not much to it! I just wanted something easy, functional, and neutral. I thought about wearing By Candlelight in this look, but MAC's mineralize products tend to break me out, so I didn't want...

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...
