All Warmed Up: Urban Decay Alice in Wonderland + Bobbi Brown Cabana Corals Look

Brrr, it was FREEZING (!) today here in California. Of course, freezing here is 55 degrees, but I swear, it felt way colder! I was happy with how this looked turned out; I hadn't initially planned on putting Wonderland...

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...

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...

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...

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...

MAC Love Lace Look

Here's a quick and dirty look using products from MAC's Love Lace Collection!  I managed to squeeze in all four of the eyeshadows that came out. Just an FYI, Blanc Type looks very, very subtle in real life -- it's not a very camera-friendly color (tends to look a lil' on the chalky...

Winter-into-Spring Blossoms with Guerlain Jeu d'Ombrelles

Happy Friday, everyone! :) This is a look using the two new, limited edition products from Guerlain's Cherry Blossom Collection: Jeu d'Ombrelles Eyeshadow Quad and Cherry Blossom Blush.

Surprisingly, the eyeshadow quad and blush don't go together...

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: Violets and Purples

Holiday Makeup: Violets and Purples

I did this look for fun before I took a shower on Sunday, and in my hurry, I forgot to take close-ups of the eyes/lips, so there's just a couple of full-face photos, but hopefully you get the idea :)

I wanted to use Illamasqua's Static pure pigment, since it sure looks pretty, but I was so not feeling...
