Look: Lady Gaga Bad Romance Makeup Inspiration

Look: Lady Gaga Bad Romance Makeup Inspiration

I was watching Lady Gaga's Bad Romance Music Video yesterday, and I felt a little inspired by the bold makeup she's wearing around the four minute mark.

Look: White Gold & Teal with MAC Mystic Cool Eyeshadow Palette

I wanted to try and do a look that used some of MAC's new holiday palettes, and of course, I really wanted to use Hold My Gaze from the Sorceress palette. As much as I like Hold My Gaze, I don't really love it with the other shades in the palette, so I decided to use it alongside the Mystic Cool...

Look: Bobbi Brown Earth Metal Palette & Pewter Eyeshadow

I really wanted to use Bobbi Brown's Pewter Chrome Eyeshadow, and I figured I might as well incorporate her Earth Metal Palette, too... so, I did! Let me tell you one thing about pewter-colored eyeshadow: it can be difficult figuring out how to pair cheeks and lips with it!

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...

MAC Style Black Look: Dark Smoky Eyes

Just a quick Style Black I through together this morning before I took a shower. I'm not sold on mineralize eyeshadows whatsoever! I applied these mineralize eyeshadows wet using water-based mixing medium (for better adhesion and to minimize fall out). ...

Look: MAC Photorealism Eyeshadow Quad Made Easy

Here's an attempt at using MAC's Photorealism eyeshadow quad :) The photos are a little wonky, because silly me forgot to change the white balance settings before taking these photos, SO I had to muck around with them (to get the right color) in Photoshop. I think they're *fairly* accurate, but...

Look - Quick & Dirty Smokey Eyes

Look - Quick & Dirty Smokey Eyes

Quick and dirty smoky eye :) So, I finally get my foundation to match my skin in *natural* light... but then either the foundation or my setting powder reflects light and it doesn't match in photos! Apparently, my bathroom light is terrible, because so many foundations looked like they were a match,...
