Fall Ombré Lips

The fall and winter time are perfect for breaking out that dark lip color that you've been dying to wear but didn't think you could pull it off in the summer. And it adds a little pop of color for those dark dreary winter days. Winter is a good time for experimenting with makeup to keep your spirits up on those cold days! 

In this look I did a simple red ombré lip and a little winged eyeliner to spice it up a bit! 

The easiest and quickest way to get an ombré lip without having to use several different lipsticks? EYESHADOW! all you need is your base lip color then just darker eyeshadows for the outer corners! It adds the ombré effect and gives you long lasting color! to make the middle of the lip pop even more just add a little bit of white eyeshadow for a highlight! It's so simple and makes it look like it took a ton of work!

Bridal Party

This morning I was lucky enough to work with a group of ladies in a bridal party! Let me start this off with saying that they were some of the most easy going group of girls to work with and I'm so thankful for that. They all wear quite simple makeup or even no makeup in their day to day routine so all I did was play up their natural features! 

Blue Ombrè

Spring and summer trends are upon us and one that I have been noticing is colored and ombrè eyeliner! I'm usually the girl who always has the jet black cat eye but I was feeling a little colorful and tried out something fun. AND I'm totally obsessed with it and I wish it was acceptable to have this match what I'm wearing every day of my life. Seriously, I love it that much. It makes me feel fierce as hell and it adds some color to my normal routine. AND IT WAS SUPER EASY. I used three different eyeliners and just blended them together to create this look.

p.s close up eye pictures aren't my forte, they just look awkward HAH

Wedding Season

Ahhh summer seems to be the peak of wedding season! I was able to help out a close family friend with her makeup for a wedding she was attending, and it seemed to be taking her a little longer than most to get out of that winter rut. But we found a look to spice up her normal routine a little bit and make her stand out! We decided on a subtle smokey eye for this evening wedding and it seemed to totally change her mood :) It was easy and really fun to create because of her big gorgeous eyes, I mean look at them #jealous

Hashtag No Makeup

Makeup is definitely not a necessity. We love using it to try new things and make ourselves feel better but going a day without a drop of makeup on is always a good thing. A naked face is a beautiful face. Although I understand sometimes it could be hard, I encourage you to walk out of the house with a nakey face, it's freeing (almost as freeing as taking your bra off at the end of the day) and you're able to rub your eyes without worrying that you're about to look like a crazy panda! (you all know what I mean) Recently I've been seeing memes about before and after pictures of girls with and without makeup on with the caption "makeup causes trust issues". UM EXCUSE ME NO. What causes trust issues is girls seeing this s#!t and thinking that they can't go out without a pound of makeup on because guys won't think they're pretty. NEWS FLASH BOYZ we're not on this planet to please you or make sure our makeup is fitting to YOUR standards. #nomakeup revolution. Let's see those beautiful naked (faced) selfies! 

love ya babies, till next time! ❤

Everyday Makeup

When I have some extra time I like to go a little crazy and try some new looks like in my pervious posts but for my everyday look I go for something a little more neutral and basic! For some people this look may even be too much for an everyday affair but I love the way it looks and it's created using only one palette. This has you looking like you put lots of effort in but in reality it's super easy!

Basic Smokey Eyez

Now I'm gonna be really honest; smokey eyes kind of terrify me. This was the first time I tried and and I'm SO happy with how it came out. I took inspiration from a pin I found on Pinterest that you can find here. I've always thought they would make me look like a trampy raccoon (HA) but I just bit the bullet and tried it!

Navy Liner

Winged liner is my thaaaang.... I think it makes the eyes look elongated and more put together and literally complements SO many eye shapes. I tried out a new look with this navy liner and I'm loving it. Its subtle but still a noticeable difference. Colored liners can turn a look into something completely new. I paired this navy liner with a coral colored lipstick and it just makes the whole look pop a little more. With spring FINALLY here its fun to try out some more daring and bright lip colors. Coral is my favorite go to color in the spring because it just seems to bring life to my face and the fact that there are so many shades of corals that can complement so many skin tones makes it that much better!

New Blogger?

Makeup is something that everyone should have a chance to play with and discover. Not to cover up our natural beauty but to enhance it and it give us a chance to create new looks and try something new without breaking the bank. I have only recently gotten more into makeup and trying out new things. This blog was created for me to write reviews, do some tutorials and answer questions that anyone may have. Makeup and creativity go hand in hand and everyone has some creativity in them, if you've been wanting to try a new look but are too afraid of what others may think here's what I have to say about that; SCREW EM. Do what you want to do and you'll find something you'll love. Now put down that fear of something new and pick up that bright blue eyeshadow and rock that new look.
